Well, isn't this great? Female answerers say they don't give compliments to a guy because he may get "the wrong idea". Then you have girls not accepting compliments because they may give the guy "the wrong idea". SO it boils down to guys being morons because they get the wrong idea for everything. Then you wonder why guys act like jerks, we don't need all this aggraviation. I especially hate when a girl discriminates depending on the guy. A guy could be really smart and have good points but she will never say "you are so smart" because she is ASSUMING he may get the wrong idea but when a moron friend of hers makes some obvious observation (oooh a circle has 360 degrees!) then she gets "ohh, you are so smart bla bla"

I can fully agree with his statement. I give compliments DAILY to girls, but I've never ever EVER once got a girl to randomly compliment me. Reading some answers from the girls, here's what I'd like to hear: You have a handsome smile, you look good today, you smell nice, etc.
Really, anything like those could easily trigger a conversation and understanding further what kind of a guy I am.
I do but only when it is truly genuine. Often when I get to know someone better the compliments are more abundant because it is not only wow babe you look great its I love the way you carry yourself or how you handled the situation with whomever. The compliments are more centered on his character and what I am loving about him rather than his exterior or physical presence. but don't get me wrong if the looks as if he works on his body I will surely let him know from the start how good he is looking.
It's because sometimes guys will get the wrong impression. The only time I compliment a stranger was when I was with another male friend, that way he didn't think I was hitting on him and I was actually being genuine. I have complimented friends when I know they know they are in the friend zone and ain't comin' out. And I have always complimented guys on their smile when I am interested...Yes always the smile.
that's a good point! what kind of compliments would make you feel good, let's say from a girl you're not dating yet?
also, do guys like to hear they're cute or not? sorry to turn the question around on you but as long as we're here...

Shy is a big factor most of the time. I most of the time tell a guy even random ones if I think they're gorgeous. Its a kind of urge that I feel like I need to let them know lol :).
well what would you want to hear from girls? I like a guy, and if your theory about asking girls on dates is right, what would I say to him to get him to do that? :)
Guys do tend to get the wrong idea if you compliment them. They think you are doing it to pick them up, though you might just be making conversation, genuinely complimenting you for it's own sake, without hidden motives.
I actually give guys that I like a lot of compliments. I think its cute when they blush when you tell them they look really handsome! Lol
the more you compliment a girl the less she seems to be willing to return it
i agree, more girls need to make it obvious
