Almost never. Every once in a blue moon I keep looking (cause I want to, they look that good), and I sort of also want to see if they make eye contact. If they did, and smiled or looked not unfriendly, I would have said something. But I find people do not look. They look serious, distracted, or unapproachable, almost all the time.
(And I'm not talking about men. It's more women, like I like a particular item they are wearing and it really stands out. With men, they are not anymore friendly, and there's always the awkwardness that they may think you want something more, are hitting on them.
So, it's complicated. Easier just to ignore everybody.)
Plus, I have complimented many years ago, and maybe after about three times, and they were not smiley and appreciative, I just concluded, "Fuck this."
Whenever someone has said it to me, I'm nice about it, and I always smile.
I don't mean to brag, but I've had random strangers say all sorts of things to me. I'm not sure why. Maybe they think I'm actually approachable or something.
I did so just a day or two ago. A waitress at a Denny's. She was forty something I think. I liked her bangs. I said, "I like your bangs. They're pretty on you."
She beamed a big smile and said, "Thank you! It's been a long time since a man complimented my appearance! Not even my husband tells me that." and she touched my hand.
I thought to myself that her husband was perhaps taking her for granted. I'm happy to have brightened her day a bit.
Really I don’t recommend a straight guy to comment on how a chick looks unless he’s got actual game and is trying for her number otherwise you’re gonna look like a weirdo in her eyes and if you’re trying for her number at least you are in the game and not on the sidelines. Just remember having actual game comes with a certain level of class

Forward enough to say it? Yeah.
But I wouldn't say it because I don't see the point.
Unless I've seen the lady a few times because she keeps catching the same train on a regular basis or something, then I may- because there is some potential to develop it into something more.
I have and I will again.
I saw a stewardess at an airport restaurant, getting something to eat, I assume she was in a hurry, as was I.
So I told her, "Hello, I'll probably never see you again, so Id like to say you are absolutely gorgeous, and have an awesome day!!"
There was a really pretty redhead working the register at a Walmart one time.
I don't think I've ever felt the desire to compliment a stranger in public before.
I ended up not saying anything.
u not my usual... it's something I very very rarely do
but I've done it, and it was mostly about their hair, awesome hair that is, sometimes their eyes... and when I did it, is because I got some vibes that it would be alright to do so... lol
u In this day and age probobly not u hear too much of people not wanting to be approached in the street it just seems like a bad idea
Yep, it’s just being respectful and polite.
can’t do it with everyone.
also it’s about giving a compliment, not a sexual statement.
Nope! Haha. I would not. (But I would be tempted to.)
I've been told before, it was so creepy. LOL guys do this all the time with girls
i want to but i'm so shy that i can't tell anything and look away 😂😂 (except in social media bcs we dont need to f2f 🙃)
No.. cause then i would tell tons of girls they are hot. There is a lot of hot girls here.
i might do though i would start by saying, 'i hope you dont mind me being so bold but...'
Of course, why not.
If they get offended then I apologize.
I have and will likely do so again. I even will tell people when they smell good which is risky but I mean some people just have amazing taste in fragrances.
It really cool to comment about a total strangers dress cos it make you get more friendly to people...
It better to give good compliments about someone's dress
I love it when I am been complimented about my dress or hair
Yes. I have. I was careful how I said it and what was said. It feels good to make other people feel good about themselves.
I usually do but, according to the responses I've been getting from asking a very similar question, girls are incredibly pissed about people complimenting them!! Go figure!!
We are in a time a girl finds a guy in a same group as her texting her Hello as flirting. Why would a guy get embarrassed by trying to talk to a random woman!
Yes, but without implying that I was trying to get a date.
Sure why not, luv if you like something go ahead and say it nothing wrong in that.
Always start with other stuff. Then tell them that they look beautiful.
You might get the phone number¯\_(ツ)_/¯
