Do you girls like being complemented by male strangers on your looks?

Question

Have stangers complemented you?
what things have been said to you?
does it make your day?

Answer 1

sometimes when my and the girls are walking back from the pub at lunch we get a few people bib at us as they go past, (sort of area i work in)
this doesn't make my day it just makes us all laugh.
it is nice to be complement4ed by people, surely you must like people telling you that you like nice when you go out??

otherwise what was all the effort for? you get dressed up to be noticed and look nice,
so whats the harm in people telling you?? that's what you wanted wasn't it??

Answer 2

I can't speak for all women, but I personally don't like it when strange men compliment me on my looks. Makes me feel really weird and well sorta creeped out. Yes strangers have complemented me, they've said I was beautiful and that they loved my hair and my eyes and my smile. It doesn't really make my day unless I'm in a really sad and depressed mood, which isn't that often.

Answer 3

It depends on how the complement is delivered. If it's a cat call or sarcastic comment, then no. But if it's a genuine comment (for example, with other people in earshot), then sure. Everyone likes to know that they didn't choose a train-wreck from the closet!

Answer 4

I take any compliments I can get! As long as it's not done in a sleazy way.
A guy once came up to me in the supermarket and said "You're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen" That made my millenium!
I think the worst "compliment" I ever had was when a guy in a bar ws listening to me for a while spout forth (as I do) and said something like "You're a pain, but you're very cute" Then he had the cheek to ask me out
I think the best compliment you could give me was to tell me you loved my brain or something like that

Answer 5

I'm tall, brunette, long-legged, slim with long-lashed green eyes..not me being vain...trying to be honest here, and I've been really lucky to have been on the receiving end of really nice compliments and some really nasty, hurtful ones. I think it's assumed that life must be a picnic for me because I've been fortunate to get, I freely admit, more than my fair share of what are considered to be attractive physical features. Most compliments from strangers would be of the ' Oi !! Get yer T**ts out for the lads! '' types from Neanderthals on building sites which immediately draws other strangers' attention to me, which I hate, because it's mortifying to have everyone's attention automatically focused on my bust. Once a guy quietly approached me in a bar and, after tapping me on the shoulder said; '' Have we ever boogied in the Bahamas?'' It was so ( to me) funny ,that I fell for him immediately and we were together for a year and are still friends. Sometimes the 'Lookers' are the lonely ones, cos men think they're 'out of their league ' or that they wouldn't give themgirl 'the satisfaction' of turning them down. Moral; have faith in you own attributes, take the plunge with someone you might not normally approach.. I beieve you'll be pleasantly surprised!! XO

Answer 6

Depends whether it is said sincerely by someone who appears to be sober, (nice) or by some drunk git who thinks he is Brad Pitt and full of the beer(better than saying something negative I suppose, but yuk).

On balance, like it, can make your day, although can be difficult to shake off the guy when you have been gracious enough to thank them, fortunately I have a smart mouth which means I can usually handle the sleezers. Amazing how unattractive this can suddenly make you!

Think it is nice to compliment anyone on how they are looking and genuinely do it a lot myself.

Answer 7

I like being complimented by anyone, its nice when people notice things. I always make an effort to say something nice to people - not friends, just aquantances. For example, when I worked in a pharmacy, we had a couple of regulars. I remember this lovely lady, she must have been about 80, and I loved how her face would light up when I mentioned that her hair looked nice, or asked if she had a new coat or something.
I like being complimented, and I like complimenting people - I don't see it as a flirty thing - just something nice.
Random acts of Kindness...

Answer 8

The other day I was on my way to the bank with my office banking, and a complete stranger asked me how I was and told me that I looked very elegant. He was very charming and flirty, and it absolutely made my day. Just as long as you don't appear sinister - in other words, don't be too full on, or a woman may feel threatened. I also love it when blokes on a building site whistle at me - my feminist sisters say it is degrading, but it always makes me smile.

Answer 9

well it depends actually. if it is in a nice and decent way then maybe it's okay. Yeah alot of strangers complemented me. some of them whistle (which is really creepy) some of them say i have a nice outfit or i look gorgeous or i have a nice style etc etc. Well it makes my day when they complement my style.

Answer 10

It depends on how it's said.
As an example - one day I went to town, Saturday morning, I felt a bit low and was doing the female 'shop therapy'. As I was in a queue, some guy came up to me and said 'excuse me, I just wanted to tell you that I think your hair is the most gorgeous colour and I hope I've not offended you'' with that he smiled and just walked away.......It made my day!
So, if done politely and with a bit of charm, I think it's great.
That was 8 years ago and I've never forgotten it!
