Ladies, is this OK or not?

Question

I am friends with this girl in college and she wears short blouses that show her stomach and her belly button when it's warm outside. Would it be OK if I say to her as a complement that her belly button looks cute? What about saying it even a girl I don't know?
I didn't make any complements but I just want to know what the females think about this before I say it.
I don't look weird or anything like that, so there's no reason to to think that I have problems

Answer 1

If you are friends, then there shouldn't be a problem at all. I wouldn't recommend it to a total stranger though. Sometimes a woman can say that to another woman, but coming from a strange male it can be creepy.

Answer 2

I don't think there is anything wrong with it and if she shows her belly button its likely its for a reason but If you are her friend and nothing more then I say you don't because it can be a bit creepy, what I mean is I wouldn't want my guy friend to tell me your belly button is cute because it could come off as flirting, now if you like this girl as more than a friend and you want to complement her try saying "you look nice today" or something more proper. Saying to a girl you don't know might actually be easier than telling your "friend" but like I said come up with another compliment be original. (no, your boobs look big is NOT a compliment unless the girl shows off her boobs because if she does then she most likely wants people to compliment her on them) but I think as friends and nothing more you shouldn't cross the line with the compliments, know what I mean?

Answer 3

The best way to compliment a woman (or girl, whatever) without sending the creepy vibe is to be on your way out when you say it.

Practice this:
Walk by (not walk up to, walk by) one of these girls. Without breaking stride, or showing in any way at all that you are going to stop (after all, the things you have to do are too important to stop) point, smile, and say, "Hey! Cute tummy!" and keep going! Make only the briefest of eye contact. Don't even think of turning as you pass. If the girl says, "what?" or makes any attempt to stop you, only turn half way. Keep edging the direction you are going. Make no indication that you have any intention of being held up by this girl. (Even if you would walk fire for another peek at her belly!)

The premise is the same one where you always want to be the one who ends every exchange. Remember, every girl says she wants a guy to wait on her every need, but they chase guys who have other things to do. This is especially true of the under-30 set. Having a child can change a woman, big time (often for the better, but I like women over 30, so there ya go.)

This also minimizes the chances of being thought to be 'creepy' or 'stalker type.' How can you be a stalker if you are actively going away?

Be careful asking women what they want. They are notorious for giving incorrect information, in that respect.

Answer 4

Not belly button specifically. Even if I am best friends with someone, mentioning their belly button as cute comes across as mildly strange. I would rather be complimented on the outfit as a whole.

Answer 5

usually girls who show off their belly button want to get complimented. however, I wouldn't recommend saying anything using those particular parts of her body. maybe you should just compliment her on her look as a whole. if she is a very close friend of yours, then maybe it would be OK to tell her you like her belly button, although this might be diving into different waters...

and no, do not say anything to a random girl who doesn't know you, because it will freak her out.

Answer 6

I wouldn't say anything. Just because I have a nice chest, it doesn't mean I want a stranger that is not my man, to come up and say, "Wow you have a nice chest." It's unappropriate. It's nice enough that you noticed. All I think is appropriate to say is that, "You look pretty today." Anything below the neck shouldn't be commented about, excluding the hands. It's okay to compliment a woman on her hair, eyes, complexion, and hands. That's about it. Don't focus on any other body parts.

Answer 7

Go ahead and compliment her. She would be flattered. Women work really hard to maintain a good shape and I think she would like your compliment and that you noticed. I would say the same for someone else. You would not look weird to give a compliment to someone that you do not know. Stop being paranoid. I'm quite sure you would like it if a lady stopped you and said that you look nice and so does your physique. Go for it!!!

Answer 8

unless youre flirting, i wouldn't say anything. But a general compliment would be fine. for example, you look nice/ cute today.

it gets a bit weird when you compliment specifics... especially a belly button lol

Answer 9

I've had guys say specific things like that. It is creepy, even if I knew them. Unless you're seriously trying to get in her pants, at that very moment, dont say it. What in the h*ll is she supposed to say back? I like your shirt??...especially if she doesn't find you attractive. (i'm not saying that's necessarily the case, but if it is, she will be very uncomfortable.)

i think a good rule of thumb is dont' compliment anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable reaching over and touching.

Answer 10

you have at least one problem, you have a belly button fetish.
belly buttons of the world, beware. Hide your lint
btw keep your mouth shut. find yourself a girlfriend with a belly button you love to look at then marry HER. telling a female that you like her bely button isn't a compliment, it's a
