Instead of catcalling, would ‘the ladies’ like it better if we just told them calmly they’re pretty?

[OddBeMe]

“The Ladies”…. would that be creepy if we just said, “Hey, you’re very pretty.” Or “Hey, that dress looks good on you.”

I would probably avoid this. I heard about a guy losing his job just for calling the girls he was coaching beautiful.

It's absolutely ridiculous. I personally would love the compliment, but now thanks to the snowflakes who think guys are creeps and want to get you in bed. I will never know what a compliment feels like.

[CrimsonAngel09]

Interesting.

All girls said yes, all guys said no.

[OddBeMe]

You’re probably very pretty. But your profile is of a cowboy.

[OddBeMe]

And so we’ll be going with the men! Lol

[Sevenpointfive]

inflate a girls ego? i don't think so. if she needs that then she's already too high maintenance for me.

Only thing women hate about being catcalled is when they aren't cat catcalled

[susie22]

I have much more respect for a guy who will actually offer a compliment, like "I like your outfit", or "that dress looks great on you" or even something like "you have great legs", rather than some rude catcalls or whistles. It's just about guys showing a bit of class.

[OddBeMe]

Where is the line? Seems like the legs comment at work would get me fired. No?

[susie22]

I would take it as a compliment, but obviously others would not. In today's world, I think there is far too much "political correctness" and people taking what is basically a harmless comment and twisting it out of context and into an insult or sexual harassment, and that's just sad. I can only say that it's pretty clear that the line is not the same for everyone, nor the same for every workplace.

[OddBeMe]

I wonder if women really wouldn’t mind and men are too afraid? Or are there too many women who run off to HR?

[susie22]

I think a lot of women do overreact to some basically harmless comments, but I think I'm a bit more easygoing and understanding to go that route. If I thought a guy was being inappropriate with me, I would take it up with him directly rather than running to HR. Sadly, I agree that maybe that fear will prevent some men from possibly giving a harmless compliment and possibly engaging in some conversation.

They do not want ment to talk to them unless they are tall, good-looking, and RICH.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Omg a man speaking on behalf of women like he knows exactly what they all think? What a rare breed! Can I get an autograph

[OddBeMe]

@wiltingrosepetal Would you be creeped out if we stopped to say you look good? As opposed to catcalling after you? Or just leave you alone?

[wiltingrosepetal]

@OddBeMe I'd find it nice if a man complimented me in public. Though I've only been catcalled once before and I found it flattering, so I'm fine with both. Just don't follow her around 😬 no one wants that

[chrissykerdock]

i was never insulted by men when they were admiring... a lot of whistling... a lot of nice legs or nice ass... nothing too derogoterry at all

[Anonymous]

No, men are seen as evil and toxic
Women would prefer if men stayed in their part and never communicated with them hence the separation of the genders

[ChicoFromThe305]

It's always brought me excellent results
