Girls, can you complement your guy friends without feeling he might get the wrong message?

Question

Its no secret that guys treasure a complement from women. However a lot of times such can be recieved in the wrong way. Do girls fear that them being too nice and caring to their guy friends can often make him infatuated towards her?

I used to work with in a all male work place I was the only female in my department and a lot of the men were similar age to me and some were very handsome and some of them knew this and would often try and flirt with me even though they said I was like a little stister to them. I'm very honest and if I think someone's attractive I won't deny it. I give all my friends compliments and try to make them feel good about themselves when there down. I'd tell my male co workers but they were all handsome and if I thought they were dressed nice or had a nice hair cut I'd always tell them but not in a creepy way just a thumbs up and say looking good, nice hair, suite etc. There's ways of complimenting males without sounding like your hitting on them.

Yes, I’ve been friends with my bestfriend for a long time and he’s a guy. We both have never liked each other in that type of way. I’ve known them since 6th grade and never felt scared to tell them how it is, weather it be a compliment or the opposite

Honestly I don't think a compliment can give the wrong message unless the guy is feeling some type of way about her or she's touchy with a compliments. I think it's just a matter of perspective but even if you did get the wrong message that's what you saw you know? And I'm certain a little discussion can clear that confusion up.

I'm sure that's part of it. They literally can't say anything positive to a guy or else he falls in love with her and shit lol. Which is sad. Us guys dont get shit.

I compliment my guy friends all the time. I know for a fact that they're not misinterpreting my words. I think it depends how close you are to each other

Yes. It seemed like in high school I had to be careful, but as an adult being surrounded by adult males people can take compliments for what they are and not assume things.

No u can’t cause they always get the wrong impression

Kas19 · Answer

Depends. A lot of men interpret women's kindness as flirting. I'm generally wary of how I talk to them.

Only if we dont see him attractive at all so that mean we made things clear from the begginin that we won't cross the friendship limits. We do that often with guys we dont like 🙄

I've never had a guy friend that has sooner or later admitted to being sexually or emotionally attracted to me. Idrc anymore but it kinda sucks because girls are so bratty

Yea, they know I have a boyfriend, so I'm clearly not making advances

stephnee412 · Answer

Just give him the compliment. I usually just work it into casual conversation, that way it doesn't seem fake or like you have an agenda. If he thinks there's more going on than that, and asks you out, politely decline.

A lot of my friends are women and we compliment each other a lot, but not in a creepy way. Never thought that way about them

I think it depends on how comfortable/receptive the two of you are. I have a good guy friend I compliment/encourage him often & it’s completely platonic.

Yes, my best friend is a guy who I once dated lol and he doesn’t seem to act weird after them.

Not always depends on how vein and/or insecure they are

Most guys learn quick that the compliments are hollow and not what they’d like them to be.
