The hair of the woman in your photo is luxuriant.

coachTanthony · Accepted Answer

If they compliment me I might think about it.

Sour-rose · Answer

They do. But thing is, most of us probably think they're hitting on us... or we've heard it 200 times a month.

DannyUk2017 · Answer

We used to... but with these days compliments mean 💩, so really... they think if we compliment we try to get bewteen their legs, so... nah... not anymore is not worth the struggle...🤷‍♂️

lightbulb27 · Answer

fear. you project well.. positive, so I'm not sure what's going on.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

My comment somewhat takes off from where @sour-rose left off, "They do. But thing is, most of us probably think they're hitting on us..."

I've tried one or two compliments in the past and was immediately met with... I have a boyfriend or they look at you like your a creep. Then I have to explain, I'm not hitting on them. I'm honestly just complimenting them on their outfit, and that's all. By the end you think, why did I bother?🤷‍♂️

So one thing I suggest is being a little more receptive to guys compliments and then read whether or not they are hitting on you after the compliment. If they say something else that leads you to believe they are hitting on you, then get into the whole spiel about your boyfriend. At least those of us that just want to mention how good you look today, can say so unscathed.

If it's a more positive experience, then I would be willing to do it more often because a little positive reinforcement can go a long way in a person's day.

Because nowadays there is  no right way to compliment  a woman.  Whats boring to one woman (e. g. you are good at public speaking) is respectful to egalitarian to another. BUt what’s sexual harassment to another woman (e. g. you got a nice ass and look hot af!) is also something another woman is dying to hear from a man.  You can’t expect men to read your mind on this nowadays. Especially given the modern browbeating #metoo bullshit men have had to deal with in recent years. Saying the wrong thing to a woman can get you fired nowadays.

Constatine · Answer

do you expect a compliment?  do you compliment your man? Yes? How often?  a compliment is something you have to work for.. both men and women. It is not something you pull out of the closet.  You also have to find the right balance..  To little is not good. To much and they stop believing you.. or it stops having a meaning.  Besides my lady... no other woman gives me compliments... and i don't expect them.  Than.. only then... in the case they do.  It has meaning.. and you accept that compliment... with a smile and a thank you..

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Here is my personal reason.

I am a gentleman, i do not use harsh words, foul language or be unpleasant unless someone forces me to it. I used to give complements for the ladies and i did that at work too but! It back fired at me plus i was accused for harassment. My complements are these (you look lovely/nice today), (your hair is amazing), (nice shoes), (nice sunburn), (i like that mascara, new one?) (Your smile lights up the room). So after being reported (at work) and accused (in public) for harassment so i stopped giving complements in general. I still the same gentleman, but i do not complement people in general unless they are my friends. Not all women are the same, i know but i do not want to be in that situation again, it is very unpleasant.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Here is my suggestion... make a dating profile with a dude's pictures that's on your same attractiveness level. Then hand out the compliments like it's candy and then tell me how that worked out for you.

If that's too much work, I'll tell you that I think you're going to come back realizing you'd be an INCEL if you were male.

The bottom line... most of the time... you're going to get further with women by calling them names. I mean... at least they're more likely to respond at all.

Now of course, if you use a 10 out of 10 guy's pic, and tell them you're a child molesting inmate that just got out of prison for molesting 3-year-old boys, and you can't get a job or stop doing meth... the chicks will respond and they will be all over your profile.

If you come back and say I'm lying, that's when I know you're the one lying.

hahahmm · Answer

Why should a man compliment women? What's in it for him? Men used to do a lot of things for women which didn't benefit himself but women insisted that they wanted "equality" and no "toxic masculinity" so here we are. Now he's no more likely to compliment you than the truck driving dude he sees walking into the store.

EmmaMary · Answer

I must be extremely lucky and very fortunate indeed as my husband is always complimenting me, one way or the other.

I'm damn sure my two older married sisters receives pretty much the same treatment as me.

Lliam · Answer

They should. I like compliments and women do, too.
A girlfriend or wife should know that you adore her. You should compliment her all the time for all kinds of things including, but not just limited to, her looks and sexuality.
Compliments enhance self esteem and build connection.

Bricealan · Answer

I have on occasion, but hesitate to do so for fear of them thinking that I am flirting with them. I have a very, very, pretty girl in my YOGA class who is very nice and we talk a lot. She is married, and has children, AND she has the prettiest face and most beautiful BLUE eyes I have ever seen. I want to tell her so, but do not out of fear she may take it wrong and I would never want that.

Does that explain?

RavVid · Answer

We do. Personally I stopped doing it as much when girls started to respond to my statements that they were beautiful or pretty with "I know". It seems redundant to say that now.

In any case, I only give compliments when they are genuine. I quickly learnt it didn't help me to get into a girl's panties by saying she was beautiful. It is not the legopener line some might think.

DJB72 · Answer

Because when we do these days we're accused of:

Objectifying
Sexualising
"Verbal sexual assault"
Being "inappropriate"
Sexual Harassment

The list is far longer. Talk to the feminist f*ckwits who decided men were the enemy.

I've spent the last 20 years working with my wife and have been afraid to compliment her because a report can be filed by anyone, not just the person spoken to - and we owned the business!

magiusX26 · Answer

women get constant compliments. likely these that think they are not getting them is either they do not recognize the compliments as such and/or they are coming from people they semi-do not see (the invisible majority of guys) because they are not whom they are seeking

AydenHazor · Answer

It depends on the woman. In most cases, complimenting a woman is viewed as hitting on her and can be friends upon if she's not interested. If it's someone that I have built a friendship with however, I will absolutely compliment them, and do so regularly, once we have a relationship established where it is safe for me to build them up without causing discomfort

bolverk · Answer

When was the last time you complemented a guy?

Because we get way less compliments that women do, to the extent that If we are complemented usually we do not know how to respond to it and will look at it like its booby-trapped.

But back to your question, we give up after being looked at as though we're shite that just been scraped off a shoe, followed by a stack of derogatory comments. Complements are now reserved for family and close friends.

loveslongnails · Answer

They've been told, and probably rightfully so, that complimenting a total stranger often comes off as shallow, creepy or an attempt to hit on someone. Too many men don't even know how to give a proper compliment. For example: 'Your breasts look great in that dress" instead of "your tits are magnificent", isn't much of an improvement. Unless you can do it with class, it's a big risk. If you know someone personally, it's a much easier thing to do.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I hear compliments all the time. Real gentlemen are still out there.

Miristheiss · Answer

Why do you say guys never compliment girls?

Jazzy54 · Answer

He doesn’t want to be accused of sexual harassment. Sad shame, but here we are. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ Don’t get me wrong. Some guys can make inappropriate remarks towards women, but there’s nothing wrong with a wholesome compliment.

Rei13 · Answer

I disagree. I’ve been complimented by men. Women definitely are more likely to do so for sure but men do too. My boyfriend will randomly compliment me too

laurieluvsit · Answer

Maybe they don't want anything from you at that moment. Wait until they do and how badly they want it... you might be surprised what compliments you might get... lol

XXTruthfulOgrexx · Answer

In the current dating environment men are never sure if it will be taken as a compliment or just creepy behavior. In most cases its just best to avoid the chance of a miscommunication.

DizzyDesii · Answer

They do if you come across as attractive, friendly and open to compliments/conversation

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

Unfortunately, for you, I think you're surrounded by guys who just won't do what you hope for.

YesterdaysChild · Answer

What? I get complimented even at my age. Where do you live? On top of a mountain with a blind hermit?

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Cuz simps ruined I. And half of y'all act like it's the ultimate sign of weakness.

Anonymous · Answer

Some women don't see it as being sincere. Also it isn't as much in a guy's nature to be complimentary, as it is more in a woman's nature. Not saying that men shouldn't be complimentary. It just isn't as common as women doing it.

silyt_ghoest · Answer

you don’t need a man to compliment you, I can. I got more rizz and respect then all them hoes. 👍

SeekerOfTruth007 · Answer

When the guy gives a compliment, the woman claims he's "too old fashioned" or some such. When he doesn't give a compliment, the woman complains he didn't give a compliment.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I compliment a stranger every day. Probably 60% of those are women just based on who I interact with most.

laraWM · Answer

You mean random guys? Usually guys try to give compliment but they are not really good at it 😂

Longshanks1968 · Answer

Um real men still compliment women, the problem has become this new generation of women claim their being objectified and men have become afraid to compliment.
So basically, you bitches have brought this upon yourselves!

WhitneySnow · Answer

They don’t? In my experience they do when they like her or they’re hitting on her

A_Bell · Answer

My husband compliments me multiple times a day, and I him. What world do you live in?

Grond21 · Answer

We do, but it is becoming far less common. Unfortunately, a number of women have made it unsafe for men to compliment, approach, or show any signs of affection for women they do not know.

DextroShade · Answer

Are you serious? Women get complimented constantly by simps while men rarely get complimented by women.

England4eva · Answer

Men are super paranoid about coming of creepy.

Nik1hil · Answer

Because now women have "Women Right's" and "Equality"..  When was the last time you complimented a man?

jahaims · Answer

They do all the time. You just don't surround yourself with those kind of people or you don't deserve a compliment. Obviously not knowing you I don't know which is more likely.

sheikalana · Answer

I receive compliments from men all the time.

genericname85 · Answer

Because women have become morons who frame compliments as sexual assault. Thank your feminist friends for that

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Guys compliment girls all the time. What are you talking about? Do you mean why do some guys not like to compliment a woman?

RedInnocent68 · Answer

We do! I complimented a woman on her nails just today! I thought she smelled good too, but that might’ve been weird, even for me 😉😂

Tomisworthless · Answer

The guys you like maybe not as they know how to play with ur emotions to create a desire in you. Other men do however but you hear it so often its meaningless

2021biguy · Answer

Men don't want to be considered being a creep, women like to complain about men staring at them or saying anything to them. Unless they are your boyfriend.

Compliment? I get compliments from men sometimes, just depends on their personality I suppose.

Likes2drive · Answer

I always did but then they don’t like it because they get that all the time if they are attractive so guy’s don’t bother anymore

clubboss · Answer

Why do women want to make us obligated to compliment them? Do you ever see any men crying for compliments? Men just compliment whenever there's something special.

jb2622 · Answer

Why should they? Are they doing something praise worthy or just expect it because its "nice".

Guardian45 · Answer

I'm not sure who you're talking, but that AIN'T me! The key to giving compliments is to make them sincere and meaningful! Which I do!

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I don't think you're right. If a woman physically looks good then I think most men she comes in contact with will compliment her.
