So in everyday life or even when you're out on the pull what's the best compliments you give (or have been paid??)
I always think a true compliment is one paid to something the person had a choice in making.
For example - you could tell someone you have lovely blue eyes, but they didn't really have much say in that - they were just born that way.
But compliments such as your hair looks nice tonight - are better cos a person has some say in how they decided to wear it, style it, colour it, etc?? And therefore you're not only compliment their hair but their personal taste and style.
What do you guys and gals think?

So... yeah, that's it. But for a compliment to be nice it has to be genuine. This random guy once came up to me in the street started telling me I'm "beautiful" (whatever!) and he'd love to hear my play my piccolo and stuff, but we'd only just met and they were blatantly cheesy chat-up lines, so I was just amused by that!

i hate 'compliments' from builders, its so embarrasing when you're being stared and shouted at in broad daylight. or when a guy whistles and expects you to come running -i'm not a dog!!
i'm not sure what the nicest one would be, maybe something you've acheived. like art work you did at school or when you did something good in drama.
That was nice
Anyway yea I think when you compliment someone when there is no need to. I tend to overdo the "you're beautiful" ones so now it doesn't really sink in with my girlfriend unless I grab her and go all serious like you know?
My friend's sister looks like Claire Forlani - although I didn't know who that was until I just looked up her name on google.
actually if you compliment my friend's family then her always seems pleased with that.
They're usually ones directed at my body, and they piss me off 'cause I really ain't that confident about my body.
When I'm drunk, I can't take them at all. I just end up getting pissed off with men in general. This lad told me how pretty I was last night...yeh, whatever mate. Crawl back into that hole that you came from....:mad: :rolleyes:
I know :mad: I hate it, and there are constantly builders near our house, there was once I was walking the dog and I just suddenly heard 'NICE ARSE' I felt like shouting at em 'Yeh, great for a 14 year old ain't it!?' that would have made them shut the fuck up!
The best compliments are the ones where you know they mean it.
Oh you shoudl so have shouted that bacl at them - might have given them 2nd thoughts about shouting it again.... I rememebr once walking with a girl I worked with into the centre of town during our lunch hour and these gus in a car slowed down to whistle at her, etc - I realised at that moment how totally scary something like that can be... if she's been on her own espacially.
I know. Once I was walking home from school and this group of girls (you know the type of girls who smoke hang around miss lessons etc the 'bad bunch' heh) well they started shouting at me and I ignored them then they started saying I was fit and something about my arse and that one of their friends wants to 'shag' me. Anyway I was nervous :nervous: and just kept ignoring them but like I was still nervous for a long while after that I mean it was a very unpleasant experience. p.s I know the girls were taking the piss..
Try builders in the college you work at, so whether walking with your boss (who once replied, why would she want to ride your motorbike? when you've a face like that (60 year old woman was that)) or a student, you just want to crawl up and die or randomly swear back.....neither of which is deemed appropriate.
sorry but ive got to say it..
lmao
'you're gorgeous' in a gruff whisper before they go to kiss you
i like compliments simple and to the point.
over-eleaborate ones seem so....put on
and lines are so false.
it means more to me when people compliment things i've done rather than just who i am.
Especially on a night out where they change it a bit becuase you just know they spent ages getting ready!And they love when theyr'e complimented- both on female friends and strangers!
Doesnt sound to pervy when you start of like that either!
