I think it depends on the man receiving the compliment... some have different reactions than others but I see your point. Just tell em that you ain’t being creepy lol

I don’t like throwing around the word creepy or creeper. I think I would only use it for a woman if I had to get the police involved. Like, I come home to a boiled pet. 😛

For some reason I think women get creeped out easier than guys. Could be wrong tho...

I have to imagine safety is a big reason? Generally women aren’t going to be a threat to me so I can worry less. Assuming there’s no weapons involved.

I've been known to be pretty dangerous with a butter knife.

Mostly because of how incredibly clumsy I am... so I guess it's nothing to be concerned about, because most of the danger would probably be to myself. :sneaky:

"
In general Men need RESPECT more than anything (well, you know what I mean)...
Since Men need TO PROVIDE... acknowledging their EFFORTS to either provide, produce, or perform a role, duty or task can be quit rewarding.. "

I am reading a book called "For Women Only" suggested by @Hamarr and it says exactly this. Men require respect to feel loved. Super interesting...

I can relate to this.

Those are still painful. I may have had similar issues with clumsiness....

Okay let’s be real here. How can a woman compliment a mans eyes or looks for that matter without sounding like she’s into him?

My silly thinking is that if a woman was to say to a man “you have lovely eyes” then his thinking might be:

“She likes me”
“She wants me”
“She’s into me”

I would like to give compliments without sounding like I like them.

Am I right or wrong? Lol

As one very wise so-and-so once said, "compliments lead to relationships"

Two things;

1. That doesn’t really answer my question lol
2. What happens if you’re a over-complimenting woman? (And trust me there are women out there who are like that) - will her compliments lead to relationships with all those men? Lol

Actually I'm not real big on getting compliments. I don't take compliments well. I always feel awkward, and I reflexively look at myself to estimate whether the compliment is deserved.


Now GIVING compliments, I like to do that. I'm not exactly an overenthusiastic self-esteem coach always on the lookout for something to compliment people for, but I like to tell people good things about themselves or others. It makes me happy to make people happy when they are aware people have noticed a good quality about them.
