Is it rude to compliment a girl on her cleavage?

Question

and am I completely out of line by asking this?

what i meant was like on a date, and you already know the girl. thanks for all the great answers so far!

Answer 1

It probably isn't a good idea. Staring at a girl's chest and commenting on it generally doesn't go down well. Most girl's will either be offended or uncomfortable, and it doesn't leave a good impression about you. If you're a couple and have been dating for awhile, then that's different. Keep the comliments general, such as you find her pretty/attractive etc or as some others have suggested, compliment her hair/eyes etc. If you want to be a little more daring, and the timing is right, you could always say something a little more suggestive and flirtatious, such as
"I bet any outfit would look good on you, " or " I can see that you take care of your body" etc, but saying "you've got a great pair" that just sounds creepy.

Answer 2

Yes, it's very rude to compliment a girl on her cleavage!

She'll think you only want her for her body, and don't care about who she is as a person. Even though women KNOW men notice their cleavage (that's why they wear low cut blouses in the first place) they don't want to think that you only want them for one thing - it hurts their feelings.

And, if you hurt a girl's feelings, she's less likely to let you be intimate with her..

So, if you ever want to do more than just look at a girl's cleavage, don't compliment her on her breasts...

Here's a useful rule - above the shoulders, and below the knees.

That is, if you want to compliment a girl on her appearance, talk about parts of her above the shoulders (for instance "your hair looks really beautiful") or below the knees ("those shoes are gorgeous" - girls really like being complimented on their shoes - women REALLY care about shoes in a way that few men can ever understand, tell em you like their taste in shoes, they'll be really impressed)

The Above the Shoulder rule also applies to hand and arm jewelry - it's always OK to tell a girl she has a nice ring or bracelet - they see it as a nonsexual compliment, and they'll take it the right way

But a compliment about their breasts??? NEVER, unless it's a girl you know REALLY well (like somebody you've been dating for a year or more)

Answer 3

There must be other things you can compliment about her. You certainly don't want her to think cleavage is the only part of her you noticed, right? Even as a girl, I can see some girls have very nice boobs, but often times, their personalities and other physical assets are their better traits. If you want to compliment a girl (to impress her), try to get to know her, notice something about her that most people do notice and surprise her by complimenting on it. Girls love good surprises like that.

Answer 4

Nope! It's not rude to compliment a girl on her cleavage provided it is done in the proper way. This girl wants to show off her cleavage" flaunt whatever asset you have" as they say. So if your compliments is rendered in a nice way...this girl would surely love the attention and would thank you for the compliments. Just be sincere in giving one. Okey?

Answer 5

I think it might be rude if she was a total stranger. You would have to start talking to her first. And then compliment her in the most tasteful way. I mean, you couldn't just be like, "Nice ****." You would have to say something more like, "Nice outfit, it makes your chest look really great." I'm a girl and I would be pleased, not offended, if I got a compliment like that and the guy took other interest in me besides just my cleavage.

Answer 6

I give you one - you are smart enough to ask if it is appropriate.

I have a great philosophy: Treat and talk to a gal like her big brother is standing next to you.

If you are in a situation where her big brother wouldn't be there -like her bedroom, it is ok to comment on her cleavage.

I am a woman who has a great rack (all natural). I have NO respect for a guy who thinks that I am a pair of jugs. He would have no chance with me AT ALL.

You want to complient a pretty gal? DON'T stare at her cleavage and notice the way her eyes light up when she smiles.

Answer 7

Depends on the situation(if your friends or you just passed by her) and what you say. And it depends on the girl. Some will think you are out of line. Some will not. You're better off complementing you female friends cleavage. You'll know where you stand

Answer 8

I recently got a compliment from a man I talk to who works at a store near me. He said a few things, then said that is my favorite shirt it s a little see through. Even though I liked him, he didn t know me that well so I was turned off because I honestly thought he was different. I didn t know my shirt was see through so I told him I was embarrassed. Just tell her she is beautiful or cute. No need to get into talking about her body. Men and women like each other both emotionally and physically but women have encountered creeps so they back off. Good luck.

Answer 9

I dont mind as long a guy isnt dirty about it. A nice compliment is always good. No your not out of line. You just want an answer to this question that only women can answer

Answer 10

You are not completely out of line, it is a good question. No, do not compliment a woman on her breasts or cleavage because it may make them feel devalued as a woman or it may make them think that all you are interested in is their body. Say something like they have beautiful eyes or a beautiful face.
