How to respectfully compliment women's breasts?

Question

How can I tell a lady that I like her breasts without sounding creepy? (I understand that I can't just walk up to a random stranger and say that I like her bosom.) The reason I'm asking: at university I knew several women whose breasts were among the most attractive that I have ever seen in person, and I would've loved to have paid these individuals a sincere, gentlemanly compliment. I couldn't muster the courage though, because I worried that the girls would (justifiably) misinterpret my remarks as an attempt to get my hands on their chests.

I believe that a woman's breasts can be pretty just like her hair or eyes, but many other people don't think that way, which I understand. As such, I have never felt comfortable expressing such appreciation to females, even to those whom I know fairly well.

What advice would you give?

And, what if the women are very large-breasted? They are the ones to whom I am the most reluctant to say anything, considering how much more gawking / harassment / unwanted attention that they already receive.

Thanks.

I mean, ok, look, dude. There are SOME -- VERY few -- men who can totally pull off this sort of thing.
I'm married to one of them, and, really, his way with words is an absolutely beautiful thing to see. It's almost like he's not just flirtatious -- he IS flirtation, like, personified. With women from 19 to 99 (and, honestly, he's more likely to be flirtiest with ladies closer to 99).

I mean, if my husband were to be the one doing this, then, honestly, he would just make totally innocent conversation with the woman, until SHE made some sort of innuendo about her breasts... and then he could hit back with some quick-witted one-liner, or something. But, that's kinda how he operates.

I swear, his conversation's as squeaky-clean as a fuckin' schoolboy in the principal's office -- and, yet, he has this way of just pulling the filthiest, most lewd comments out of the women he's flirting with. It's hilarious to watch, because the women will be shocked at THEMSELVES, even.
Like this girl cussing in the stands and THEN realizing she's a bad girl:

If YOU are one of these select guys, then, you'll damn well know it... and you've probably had a whole lifetime of conversation-as-seduction, with women embarrassing themselves with their wantonness right in front of your (and everyone else's) face.
I mean, dude, my husband is the kind of guy who has flushed-faced 90+ year old women telling him racy stories about all the dirty things they did with their boyfriends/husbands who'd just returned from WWII... in line at a grocery store, 3 minutes after meeting him. At 6AM on a weekday morning.

THAT is the kind of man who can "compliment a woman's breasts" and get away with it.

And even he doesn't directly do it -- he just makes innocent conversation until innuendo explodes out of the woman herself, to which he can respond with some witty retort, plus something like "... and of course yr breasts are *mahvelous* ".
LOL

Life is just... different, for some people, I guess.

For everyone else... uh... just say it with yr eyes.

With yr eyes.

Keep your mouth shut and stop obsessing over other people's chests, there is no respectful way to admit you have been staring at someone inappropriately. I'm sorry that you were dropped on your head as a baby!

unless you're having sex with her, don't. That's all there is to say really. You guys have turned boobs into something naughty.

This whole topic makes me sad. I too see boobs as a beautiful feature on a girl that makes her different. Just as eyes, nose, or any other feature. I like telling girls they have beautiful eyes or style or cheeks or anything. But seeing a girl with cute boobs is bad to speak about. And it's sad cuz many girls have what I consider to be very cute boobs and they are probably self conscious about them because nobody can compliment them

One of those things you just appreciate from afar. women have a tendency for finding something to be offended about when it comes to sexual compliments... so unless you are already close to them... its best to appreciate it from afar but keep shut.

You don't. There is NO way to respectfully and gentlemanly compliment a woman's breasts.

burlen · Answer

Something along this lines: 1. Are they real? 2. Are you feeling cold? She's likely to ask, why? Respond while staring in her eyes (not boobs) because you're nippling.

Look at them and rock back while shaking your head like you've just been hit with a brick. Then apologize in a quiet voice.

Women are kind of funny like that; Unless you are in the "Golden Circle", meaning you are in a relationship with them, they don't want to hear a guy complimenting their breasts, as you will come off as a perv. The best you can do is compliment the outfit that have on. But don't say they fill it out just right or you cross that line. I would just quietly oggle them from afar.

There is no way to gentlemanly compliment a woman's breasts that u r not involved with sexually. A compliment from a partner would be very welcome. A friend or acquaintance, not so much.

I don't think you can compliment her breasts unless she's you're girlfriend or you're hooking up with her. It's considered rude

There is no way for a man to compliment breast without sounding sleazy. It's not your fault, breast shouldn't be over sexualized the way they are but hey- it's life.
