Married women of GaG, would you appreciate being complimented by a man? If so, how would you tell if the guy had a thing for you?

[Shiprex]

Imagine the scenario, you're doing social stuff in a group of adults of varying ages and skill sets. It's a fun activity and a guy tells you he likes (xxxxx) about you or something you do/did they appreciated. Would it matter if the guy was married or not?

Would attractiveness, as in age/appearance preference (s) matter (as activity is something in common so there is that), or is it more about the way it is delivered more appealing?

[Abbycado]

I don't think there is a ton of married people on here. There are some for sure but not many from what I can tell.

If I were married, wouldn't matter if someone paid me a compliment and what their own marital status was. It is just a compliment. "Oh, your hair looks so nice worn like that." "Thanks". Done.

It is the context and intention behind the compliment that really matters.

[Shiprex]

Thanks, could you expound on the context a bit like I tried to bring in something in the query about HIM and make the context as neutral as possible? Let's say, performance versus appearance, clothing versus hairstyle/make-up choice.
Thanks

I doubt many of them take compliments too seriously.

I wouldn't want a compliment from a stranger

[Shiprex]

Thanks, it isn't meant as a random person in the street kind of thing but as a social activity, hiking, sport spectator or participant, more like an acquaintance than stranger.

Married woman here, I think it's all in the way he said it and what exactly he was complimenting.

"Great teamwork!" Perfectly ok.
"Nice ass!" Not ok.

[Shiprex]

Thanks, what about nice hair, make-up, eyes, voice as the line between appropriate and inappropriate, given it is likely different for each recipients even though the intent isn't?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Hair and make-up are fine.. eyes and voice get a little more personal and might feel like flirting.

Others may be fine with all of them. People react in different ways. Some may not be comfortable with any compliments.
