When a guy says “you’re pretty” can he be saying that with ulterior motives?

It’s certainly possible he’s saying You’re Pretty because you truly are or he’s faking it until he makes it & wants to Drop Your Panties or it could be both.

[spartan55]

Yeah, because guys can never say anything at face value. Oh wait, that's women...😂

[Nikki1989]

Men will say anything to get in your pants.

[FunkyMonkee]

He CAN be but, it's not as likely as he's just telling you that you're pretty.

[bowenw]

There is a good chance he is attracted to you, if that counts as an ulterior motive.

[BarryLiverstone]

He can lie yes. What motivates do you suspect?

[Saramelody]

If they just want sex?

[BarryLiverstone]

I’m not sure how many guys just want sex. Are you talking about someone who would have sex and then ghost the next day?

[Saramelody]

Im just asking in general , some guys just use women for sex so maybe that is the case?

[BarryLiverstone]

Than yes. Some guys will use empty compliments like the one you cited in the beginning because sweet talk can work to butter someone up

[BarryLiverstone]

Like the women who use guys just for sex, that can manifest in many ways.

[BarryLiverstone]

But when you meet someone new and they say you are pretty, do you secret to tell if they are being honest?

[Saramelody]

How would i know if its genuine

[BarryLiverstone]

You will know if it’s genuine 3 months later

[BarryLiverstone]

Is that all the help you needed?

[Saramelody]

I guess it was never genuine since they wanted it a few dates in

[BarryLiverstone]

When you say genuine, they could have meant you are pretty. But it takes more to form a relationship right?
