Would you say being called "classy" is a big compliment? What does it mean exactly?

[lolababe12]

Guys especially, if you used this term was it intended to be a big compliment?

[FingerDancer]

It really depends on the age of the guy using the term classy.
Classy to younger men often means sexy but not slutty and intelligent.
Classy to older men often means elegant and of outstanding character.

She is a class act. meaning she is nearly faultless in every aspect

so yes, it is a very high honor no matter what age group it came from

[lolababe12]

When you say "not slutty and intelligent" do you mean not slutty but she is intelligent? Or are you saying she isn't intelligent? Your phrasing threw me off a bit lol.

It's interesting though how you brought up age groups. I noticed most younger men between the ages of 18 and early 20's don't use this term as much. I've only been surrounded by really mature younger guys because they are the only ones I care to associate myself with and I've heard one of two use it. Pairing this with other liking a girl indicators, I don't know, I'd say that the compliment means a lot almost to hint that the guy has some type of feelings for her just because of what the term "classy" encompasses. Especially if they say it often... Do you agree?

Yes. I'd say it it absolutely is a big compliment. It means tasteful, well mannered, well spoken etc. nothing wrong with any of it.

[RJGraveyTrain]

A big compliment? Subjective. A compliment in general? Sure, I could take that.

a girl should be two things Classy and Fabulous - Coco Chanel

[Borginborg]

yes it definitely is a compliment. if I use the term classy it means that I find you have confidence and poise. you carry yourself with dignity and express yourself appropriately. You hold your head high and don't let the little things in life get you down. You have fashion sense and know you look good.

[JuicyBrain]

Being called classy is a good thing. Being classy will earn you respect. It can mean you dress with taste and not too sexy. It can also mean you are a good person with good principles and who is fair play.

[TadCurious]

Definitely, yes! If I call a girl "classy" I sincerely mean that as a really high compliment. And it doesn't just have to do with how she looks or is dressed. It also has to do with how she is as a person.

[John6517]

To me, if I said she was "Classy", I mean she is first-rate in every way. It is a complement that says that she is attractive, dresses appropriately, and is well mannered. A man would love to be called "Classy", if he acts appropriately.

[Bandit74]

Classy women are somewhat hard to come by so I would say its a big complement.

[AllThingsQuestioned]

Being classy usually means, well for me at least, I acknowledge the effort the person has made and if I say it with a special tone and my happy smile it is usually a little comment on how cute they are :D

[Riggers]

Yes. I would say that's quite a high compliment.

[lolababe12]

What makes it a high compliment?

[Riggers]

It's just a sign that you show respect

[CisScum]

It means you're classy or high class. Great compliment considering a lot of girls aren't classy. But it's always nice to find a few here and there :).

[Browneye57]

Yes, it's a compliment. The opposite of 'trashy'.
Are you classy or trashy? LOL
Long lean and lovely? Or short fat and dumpy?

[BlakeDeVero]

Oh yes, that means you are wifey material and not just booty call material.

[helloitsmethere]

I have been called 'classy' a few times and I take that as a compliment

[LogicBomber]

In an society where the majority of females have little class left... yes it is a complement.

[bilco]

it means your not the usual, and it is a very big compliment

[bizzz]

Not a big compliment, but it's still a compliment

[Soulmask]

its intended to make the woman feel good.

[AlwaysBelieving]

Yes it can. Depending on how it's said.

[healthycharleene]

Yes, It's a nice and big compliment.
