Girls, when you compliment a man on his shoes or when you smile at him, are you mainly communicating interest?

[PoliceLivesMatter]

[splashofyellow]

Not really. If I like someone's shoes, I'm going to tell them I think they have nice shoes and it doesn't mean anything else.

I think there's a difference between complimenting shoes and complimenting someone's smile. It's more personal if you compliment someone's smile and that might actually mean they're interested.

[Anonymous]

If it's shoes, I probably really like them since I rarely compliment on shoes

I smile at everyone so that doesn't count either.

When I show interest, and we are not really friends, I will get really excited to see him, when I say hi you can sense the excitement in my tone.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Well, my understanding is that if a woman compliments you on something, it can usually mean she’s trying to communicate interest in some way. Maybe it’s a sign or a way of showcasing interest without being so overblown about it. It might be an invitation for you to approach and talk to her more. Though, sometimes it could just mean she likes your shoes but I believe the motivations are more of the former

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah for compliments, it could be that, an easy way for her to break the ice. I haven’t used that so that’s why I didn’t think that way.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Yeah, I’m not saying every girl who compliments a man on something is always interested but I rarely get complimented on my shoes and one day this woman says “I really like your shoes” or something like that, and it just caught me off guard. She’s a random girl too that lives on the same floor as I do. I thought it was a sign of interest

[Opinion Owner]

Oh lol okay reading that caught me off guard as well ^_^
If she has seen you around before, then she is trying to ease into conversation. If it’s a complete stranger, I am not too sure

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I think I’ve seen her once or twice before that, yes.

[Opinion Owner]

Bingo

[ChronicThinker]

Me smiling at people is almost always out of courtesy or because we made awkward eye contact. Otherwise, if I compliment you on something basic like your shoes, probably not flirting. I tend to be more direct than that.

[neilsmart]

yes especially when a guy is wearing Timberland boots, they look really manly and comfy on guys

[PoliceLivesMatter]

So, when you compliment a man on his shoes, are you mainly communicating interest?

[neilsmart]

i'm saying guys look hot wearing them so not necessarily communicating full on interest in wanting the guy

[PoliceLivesMatter]

See, I think if a woman compliments you in some way, it can usually mean she’s interested in you. She might want you to approach or start a conversation with you and she’s making it easier by giving you a compliment

[neilsmart]

Large feet on a man usually mean large d**k

[MrNameless]

lol no.. Smiling doesn't mean shit. Women were taught to be polite.

Complimenting shoes is more specific, but that still doesn't mean she's interested automatically. Look for body language, like dilated pupils, high pitched voice, how their body is oriented towards you, how they act towards you in general vs other guys

[MiamiMadness]

If they go out of their way and have nothing to gain, then most likely

[PoliceLivesMatter]

A lot say that they’re just being nice.

[MiamiMadness]

Who are the girls saying this to you? Do you know them?

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Just on this post

[MiamiMadness]

No I mean the girls giving you the compliments. If you know the girls telling you about your smile or shoes then they could just be nice but if it's girls you see around or random then they're not going to compliment a guy unless they at least think he's cute.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Yeah, this random girl that lives on my floor complimented my shoes saying “I really like your shoes” once I left the elevator and she was entering it

[MiamiMadness]

Well if she's your neighbor and you see her a lot then maybe she was being friendly but she still went out of her way and threw in that "really". I'd say she's at least intrigued lol

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Not really neighbor but she’s on the same floor that I live on. I live in a dorm, and I rarely see her.

[MiamiMadness]

Then yea bro she interested or at least thinks your cute. Younger girls don't just compliment like that. Not to brag but I get told things like that or you smell good, nice shirt/car and it's always with a smile and a look lol doesn't mean always but usually

[PoliceLivesMatter]

How about if you’re walking and a woman looks at you and smiles?

[MiamiMadness]

Depends on the smile and if the eyes match like it's genuine but yea they're not going to be friendly to ugly guys sorry lol and if it happens a lot then you're probably good looking no homo

[FluffyBee]

@MiamiMadness Excatly this 😊😚

[sean1234]

Girls are to silly to give you a real honest answer. Maybe they aren't showing any real interest, but what if a girl doesn't smile at a guy she likes? If she does it out of habit, then the guy who likes girls with pretty smiles notices her. It's good for a girl to smile for no reason, my "hot girl detectometer going into full fruition"

[VaIiant]

No... not according to me or any girls I just asked. Smiling is just a sign of hospitality. And if I was interested in every guy I complemented, I’d most likely be a slut.

[sean1234]

lol. sluty slut. The funny thing is that a guy like myself loves a girl with a good smile. It's good that girls smile for no real reason. ha ha.

[VaIiant]

@sean1234 slutty slut? What the fuck?

[sean1234]

Just joking just joking :)

[VaIiant]

Haha😂

@PoliceLivesMatter why do I suspect you’re the blue downvote smh

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Nope, not me. Never downvote you Valiant

[sean1234]

It wasn't me. I'll give you an upvote just to prove it ;)

[PoliceLivesMatter]

[VaIiant]

@sean1234 we have this conversation a lot

[2opaz]

@sean1234 thats my little sugar muffin :P

[QueenofCups]

The first one, usually. The second one, sometimes, not always.

[TwatTwig]

Not really and I don't usually compliment guys on their appearance. I compliment on their character. Now if one of my girlfriends got some nice shoes or earrings or something I'ma be like "Damn gurl you looking good"

[PaganGod]

Nice shoes

[HUNTRESS800X]

Most of the time I genuinely like their shoes or I'm just trying to be friendly. Although, when my whole face lights up and I compliment a guy that means it's because I like him.

[Makeuphoarder]

Never complimented a guy on his shoes. I usually smile at everyone unless I dislike them. What kinda shoes were you wearing?

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Some brown boots.

[Makeuphoarder]

Maybe she really did like them. How did you respond?

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I said “thanks”
I was exiting the elevator while she was entering it and during that time she said “I really like your shoes.” No woman just says that out of the blue. There’s some communication of interest there I’m sure. I rarely get complimented on my shoes.

[Wonderer89]

Nup, I smile because it makes me come across as friendly and approachable, I compliment because I generally mean it and it makes people feel good. My flirting was always much more direct

[fauchelevent]

Nah. I smile at pretty much everyone and if I like something about someone's outfit, I try to say it, it's good to give compliments out, makes people feel nice 😊

[TheChocolateWriter]

I am a very flirty person, even when I don't mean to be. I may look like I like you if I do that, but I don't mean to show interest. However, 70% of the time when I say you have a nice smile, I am showing interest.

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

If a woman complimented me on my shoes, I would think "lolz girls actually care about shoes" and go about my day.

[Jmcmanning]

I smile at everyone, I do it because I am a happy and friendly person - not because I have interest in them.

[BronzedAdonis]

thumbs.gfycat.com/...fulAfricanwilddog-max-1mb.gif

[spartan55]

I wouldn't think she was interested, just liked my shoes.

[mooky06]

Nah. It’s just me being polite or really liking his shoes thats all

[CubsterShura]

Well if I'm talking to a guy and actually like his shoes then I'll really tell him that lol.

[Izumiblu]

I... don’t think I’ve ever complimented a guy on shoes. And smiling is simply a form of politeness

[Thia18]

I’m just being friendly!!! But apparently people think it’s flirting 😱

[ChocoLada]

I usually compliment some other things, not shoes :P

[JDavid25]

I wouldn't think it was interest per say.. Just think that they like my shoes, and are bein polite..

[TuMeManques]

No it's just a complimemt because I'm not looking for anything from a man.

[AndrewMG]

@TuMeManques What about complimenting his football boots though? lol

[TuMeManques]

@AndrewMG that's when you know I'm really serious lol
