Sure why not as long as it's genuine and no just to impress or any gain.
I have more than 300 people reporting to me directly and indirectly, and to keep and maintain professionalism, I never compliment them on personal level. Sometimes people become too comfortable and that's not good at work.

Definitely. A woman that can't dress nor has style is a turn off. 🤮

In a work setting I would be more constrained and might not comment on a top if there was cleavage involved. I think that men can sense when a woman will handle genuine compliments well and when she won't. If she is in the can handle category then why not comment positively on something aesthetically pleasing?
Outside of work I'm not so constrained but it always has to be genuine and something that will likely please the woman. Not "Great top. I can make out your nipples".
A few days ago at the local cafe. A girl was wearing a cut off blouse. Cut off Ts are always a delight but this cut off blouse amped it with cleavage as well. I have a rule that if it is giving me an erection than no comment unless we are in a club. In any case my eyes probably give it away so it would be redundant.
One of the girls on this thread said she found guys responded to classy elegant clothing. I love seeing girls dressed classy and elegantly. In particular I like full length flowing skirts - girls look so good in them and it is easy to compliment. It is a pleasure to be able to say a girl is looking good and for it to well received.
by the way girls you look really good in hats too. Unfortunately the only time it happens here is during Spring Carnival Racing.I always notice what women wear but very few actually dress to my kind of standard. Every now and then I'll see a woman out wearing exquisite vintage dresses paired with gloves or jewelry and a nice hat. Those kind of women get my attention and impress me.
Most of the time, it's slobs in ripped jeans, hoodies, graphic tees, crop tops, and what have you. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll.
As for compliments, I avoid doing that unless she compliments me first. If she compliments me first then I return the favor and tell her that her dress is very pretty or that I love it when girls wear vintage styles.I always notice it on everyone, yes... but that's just me being me, and paying attention to details like I usually do
as for the compliments, I really do not compliment strangers or random people that I don't know... in the cases in which is someone I know well or I am familiar with, I don't usually do it either, but there's exceptions when I know them well and if they're trying something new or they're look particularly good, I might do it... lol
and I actually compliment the style and the looks, not something elseGenerally, I would, but it depends on the context.
In a work situation, if it's my supervisor, or someone I am supervising, I likely would not. I would be all business. My co-worker, or someone not in my chain of command (up or down), and I genuinely liked the outfit, and the person, then I would more than likely.
I have done this personally out in public (before the pandemic) -- in the grocery store, waiting for a bus or a walk signal (such as downtown in a major city), I may say something like, "Hey, I hope it's okay to say, that you outfit looks really pretty (or whatever adjective)". Then, ONLY if they are receptive and express appreciation, I may say one more thing about why I like it.
As long as I'm not talking sexual or being too aggressive, then there should be no problem. It's all int he delivery.Traditional office attire was required in my office, which meant suited skirts for the professional women, and pants for the office staff. Even so, if one of the ladies looked especially nice, I would say so.
On the flip side, I might receive a compliment on my tie, and have one of the female staffers notice that I tied it using something other than a Windsor knot.
Male staffers NEVER noticed, but the ladies picked up on it instantly!Unless you work at a male clothier, no you don’t.
Yes, men notice what women are wearing but it isn’t something we spend much time thinking about unless it is extremely unflattering, it is highly form fitting, or it makes us question why we let women dress themselves (dressing like a hooker in winter and complaining that it is cold).
Generally we are more focused on what the clothing shows in the form than we are in the clothing. It isn’t sexist; it isn’t chauvinist, it isn’t anything besides biological. We have one purpose in this life and that is to reproduce with the best partner we can; nothing more or less.I notice, but I never say anything. I've personally seen guys say something along those lines and most were hinting at something more than just, "I like your suit." I do know that guys feel like they have to "Fish" now in order to see if a woman might be interested in them. I'm not saying EVERY guy on the planet, but there are a lot that feel they need to fish with compliments before engaging. Hopefully that's not the case for you, but it usually is.
For sure I pay attention to all of that I love to see how women think when they dress a color code skin tone hair color eye color because it all makes them feel the way that they want to feel and I absolutely enjoy understanding that I'm thinking about it
I get a lot of compliments on what I wear! But honestly beyond that I don't get any special treatment. Partly because where my campus is located everyone is already very sweet to each other and secondly people don't care in a way that they would think you're better than others for what you wear. That's ok, I wear what I wear because I like it not because I expect anything in return.
I think usually I’m attentive about that, usually I notice if a woman wears something elaborated or with a good fabric or has good eye for choosing the cut and the things she wears. Usually I don’t compliment them to not create misunderstandings is I’m not interested in them.
I find dressing classy clothes gets men to respect you, like I had people introduce themselves that never talked to me before, simply because I was well dressed that day, and older men tend to view you as classy and pure if you wear conservative but elegant clothing, I think the reason I got straight A’s was partially due to my clothes and social behaviour, only one professor aced me for my sense of humour and honesty, the others liked my behaviour or intelligence.
Lol the funny thing is like in sentences out of way to complement a women "a Women "
Why is it so special if someone complements it's so weird i think women don't consider themselves as a human or individual entity.
I sometimes feel it's so weird either it sounds like some puppy or something if very high value
Everything that is done is so much highlighlighted even the ordinary things.
I am not cursing or passing comments i just had this doubt as in why lol 😆well depending on what is said and how it's said HR or police could be involved. because some women don't notice the guy was just trying to be nice and not a jerk. although there are guys who are jerks that hit on nearly every women. at work or in public for wearing reveling / figure flattering clothing. kind of how the whole #metoo or #believeallwemon thing started.
I would expect that the last time I complimented a woman's outfit at work she got weird about it. I just said nice sweater, I like cashmere and the fun collar.
She acted like I just asked her to show me her tits. Now I don't compliment female coworkers unless they want to come hang after work.When I wear leather pants, I get SO many complements. They are the artizia melina pant, so not tight or sexy, but guys just love them
the better she looks, the longer he does.
personally, i will always look at what's on display - bc that's why it's ON display - but will never compliment.
unfortunately, feminazis have made it so that guys can't safely say anything anymore.I dont notice brands but what she's presenting to the world. Shoulderpad professional woman suit, back alleys 150hr night worker ensemble, vegetarian hippie, drug addiction chic, low inhib slob, barbie pink skirt girl, leggings and uggs.. these says a lot about the girl. I guess if she wears champion clothing she's a hype beast dumbdumb
I think that a girl dressed in corporate outfits can look very beautiful and sexy but as far as complimenting them I wouldn't ever dare say openly given today's sexual harassment issues. Essentially when you're a guy your hands are essentially tied so to speak especially in the corporate world.
Yes. Normally I won’t compliment friends or family. I just don’t. But if it’s a s. o. I will definitely compliment her to let her know she’s on my mind and that I notice the work she puts into looking stylish.
As my SO will tell you, I'm not that observant. But if I see a woman wearing something that looks very nice, I will pay her a compliment, even if she's a total stranger. Most women appreciate that. Occasionally, the woman will give me a dirty look.
