Would you find it creepy if a guy around your age told you that you looked beautiful/pretty/attractive in public? Would you consider this flirting?

It’s all in the approach. Usually if a guy pays me a compliment in public it’s not just in passing, it gets followed up with some sort of flirtation, so I already anticipate this. But there’s a way to go about it. Back when I was single, if the guy was polite and I wasn’t interested I really appreciated guys who took that in stride and respectfully left me alone. It’s the persistent ones who make it creepy. They’re too egotistical to accept the rejection or just care more about what they want rather than what I had to offer, which was nothing.

It hasn't happened that often other than in bars but they weren't creepy in their approach. I've actually had more women compliment my looks than guys.

I haven’t dated in a while so admittedly I’m a bit rusty, what I’ve learned is bringing up physical appearances, romance or sex to early in conversation is a red flag.

Female beauty is, globally, a 3 trillion dollar industry. Trillion not billion. That easily puts it in the top 10 industries by revenue and almost in the top 5.

To get this I am lumping Fashion, Cosmetics & Perfumes, Professional Services (hair dressing, nail art etc etc) together.

So women spend some serious coin to be as beautiful as they can be/afford.

I think they are voting with their $'s and will like affirmation. Particularly if you make them feel special and not just another set of tits.

It does depend on how you creep..

It is not what is said but how it is said. It is rarely creepy when it happens.

Er no. It's only creepy if a really old guy dies that stuff.

Not creepy but I don't prefer it.
