I think its when you say it and what kind of relationship you have with the person you say it to. if you are together with someone and in a private situation say that you love her breasts, I think she will be flattered. But if you meet a woman for the first time through work and in a room full of people compliment her breasts its really rude. There are somethings that are private and should be kept that way. and if someone I looked at as only a friend or even saw as a brother said I had nice breasts I would be creeped out probably, since it shows that they look at me a completely different way than I look at them. You have lovely eyes are a very kind comment that could be platonic, and used by anyone - friend, coworker, lover - but you have lovely breast is a sexual comment and should only be said to someone you are in a that kind of situation with for it to be okay to say.
I like this answer. I could say to my own mother. "You have beautiful eyes" But I cannot say "you have beautiful breasts" Because the eyes imply she is pretty, but the breasts imply I want to be closer to her breasts. And that is bad...lol
I think because women want to be appreciated for non sexual qualities, which is more commonly related to screwing instead of getting to know someone. Eyes might take your breath away, make you think she's beautiful and what not, but a pair of eyes alone aren't going to give you a boner. So complimenting her on her eyes is like saying you're appreciating her beauty in a non-sexual way. Since eyes are considered the "windows to the soul," you're appreciating her more more for WHO she is vs. WHAT she is.
Breasts are sexual, any guy can find them hot without finding her hot , they're liked for their ability to arouse, that's about it. You compliment trashy p*rn stars on their big breasts, it's nothing special. It's about the body not the person.
fantastic answer. Your first sentence of the second paragraph seems to sum it up perfectly. The girl could be a butter face but have nice breasts!
Wanna here something funny? I saw this one chick whose face looked like Rizzo the Rat from the Muppets, she thought she could make it up with her implants so she tried to ask me out. But I was like 'bye Felicia!' lol What's frightening is that there were still a handful of dudes who wanted to bang her *vomits*
It can be okay- and appreciated- to compliment a girl's body or body parts, but the context has to be right and the wording has to be appropriate. It's not socially acceptable to compliment a girl's breasts- unless you're in an intimate setting- for the same reason it wouldn't be socially acceptable for a girl to just randomly compliment your penis. Even though breasts are not directly sexual organs, they are seen that way by society. Compliments that seem sexual in nature should usually be limited to more intimate relationships.
why would you compliment a guy's penis? You can't see it. I can see a girls breasts if they are on display in a low cut top
Obviously it's not a realistic situation, but it was a way of trying to explain what I meant. Even though you can see a girl's breasts more easily than you can see a guy's penis, they are still considered "private" by most people. Openly complimenting them- unless you're in an intimate situation- is usually seen as inappropriate.
I wouldn't compliment a girl on her eyes. It's just so cliched and cringeworthy. "You have the most beautiful eyes" ... ugh, sorry, *vomit*.
Try to come up with something a bit more original and creative to compliment her on.
Yes, I know this may not quite answer your question but I had to say it.
Good strong point and well noted. It does seem cliche' but many girls do seem to love constant flattery if it is something like their eyes. But my man... shoes are the new eyes! "Hey, your shoes look awesome/great/cute/beautiful...etc" = win
I sometimes compliment a girl's nails if they're red or french manicure (fetish). But I also agree with Asker, shoes (heels especially) that somewhat have a sexy appeal I'll definitely take notice of.

And the guys who do compliment girls on their bodies or body parts go about it in a rude, uncomfortable and disrespectful manner. If the girl is wearing something tight or provocative, it's obvious she knows she has a nice body and doesn't mind showing it off but that doesn't mean she wants guys to treat her as if she has no personality or face. And even so, if she isn't wearing anything revealing or tight there's more to her than her body and she rather be acknowledged for that.
I have big boobs and I don't need confirmation that they're nice. Yes, in my 18 years of life I've managed to come to the conclusion that they're "nice" even when they're covered up.
Girls with nice boobs and butts know that and don't need that validation especially considering almost all boobs are nice to guys as are most butts
we don't want to feel objectified like all you care about is the way we are sexually
if a man came up to your mom and complimented her in front of you, would you rather he tell her (a) you're beautiful (b) you have lovely eyes or (c) nice t*ts?
If it was socially acceptable for people to compliment a women's breasts it would be OK if they said it to my mom. Your answer is...it is bad, because it is not socially acceptable. Also, this implies that a guy does not get turned on sexually by a girls eyes. WRONG!
Because it means that you have noticed our eyes before our ass or our breasts. It means your want to get to know them not just f*ck them, its nice to hear, "Wow, you have gorgeous eyes."
Your first sentence was beautiful. The word "before" seems to make it just right! But what about guys who see a girls great breasts and ass, and then compliment the eyes because he knows that is what WILL get him in her pants?
Then they know the game, to be honest.
I don't mind compliments on my body they can be nice & they let me know I'm keeping up the good work & when they are overboard like "damn girl yo' ass look nice, when you go let me bend you ova?' I just say "thanks & no thanks" & keep the conversation short. There isn't a reason to be rude. Some girls should learn how to take a compliment.
I think you make a good point. If a girl works on her body at the gym, she would APPRECIATE that somebody notices. It is like they are complimenting her good work and effort! Where as, if a girl is complimented on her body and does not work on it...it implies that the guy only wants sex...because he could not be complimenting her effort. It is like a double standard, but makes sense!
Yeah, I like compliments in general so the ones of my body are greatly appreciated!
because it makes you sound like a PERV.
terrible answer with no backing or information.
I was joking.
social standards, what else? also the face represents something different than the body. its the difference between beauty, admiration, and acknowledgement of complete person, and objectification, sexuality, and lust.
Well I have and do get those compliments everyonce in a while, "are you're boobs real, wow I they look perfect or I wish my boobs were like yours" mostly from outspoken women but once in a hairy moon a guy will say it. But I mostly get compliments on my eyes. I think of women just want something to be mad about lol... I don't ger mad as long as they don't touch me or STARE like they have issues.
