Why are some men afraid to tell a woman she's beautiful?

[Akam93]

I've only been told that 2 times. But I always wondered if other men held back.

They should not be... it is only a compliment after all

[LiamJHayden]

Not afraid. I refrain if I know she is taken.

I surely won't tell a married woman if she's beautiful or nkt because i respect that she's married and her husband can tell her if she's beautiful or not, also i respect if she have a boyfriend...
If i was in a serious relationship than i might tell my girl how much beautiful she is 😌

Women love compliments, from men they are attracted to, not from men they aren't attracted to. If you're not sure which category you fall into, you don't want her saying "Get away from me, you slimey but!"

Women seek validation. The moment you give it to them, they feel like they have to go and get it from the next guy.

A lot of women don't like to be told that. It makes them feel uncomfortable with the guy.

Lots of men hold stuff like that back. American women respond unbelievably bad to that kind of thing, so it's easier to just not say anything.

Because...

That's not true though
