I resemble that remark...lol

I compliment this thread

Its nice to get compliments, but when its comin from a complete stranger who knows nothin about u, then its obvious to me they have lust on their minds cos all they know about u is how u look.

You're looking very sexy today Mirror.

You just made me blush

I dunno, I like them but when a man gushes, hes full of ****, and only in it for the *****.

definitely. compliments are always just an attempt to get sex. a few days ago my friend said my yard was looking good. i had to tell him, "hey man, i only like you as a friend.".

If the compliment comes without pretense I take it at face value, and without thinking that it means she's interested. However I've been told that at times these women were actually hitting on me and I was oblivious to it. I guess they need a hammer.

Yeah, I guess it depends on what they say, there's a difference in "nice pics" and "nice azz"

i think it may just be a legitimate way to break the ice, even if it comes off a bit clumsy or forward. it's not like a face-to-face conversation where you can adjust responses on the fly. you have to get ideas across via text only (and some of these helpful guys...).

one girl had a pic of her classic car up on her her profile and being a car guy, i complimented it. no big deal, no alterior motive.

i thank everyone who emails and compliments me profusely.

but as i've posted in this forum just last night... sometimes that just goes a rye.

it goes a type of bread? i don't know if that's bad or not. at least it didn't go awry

damnit you knew what i meant!!!

evil smartass man.

I really don't classify a random unknown person emailing me calling sexy or hot as a compliment.

I don't have an easy time excepting compliments from people but I try to do so gracefully. I appreciate them and I give compliments when I feel they are deserved.

But I'd rather a friend give me a compliment than someone who doesn't know anything about me because I agree with the OP, usually it's the pervs who do that.

(Notice, I said usually!)

Depends on the compliment and how it's given. For example:

"I think you're pretty cool, and pretty, and I'd like to get to know you." is a nice compliment.

"OMG UR SOOOO HAWT I WANT YOU!" Is not.

A compliment in a first email is fine and I'll say thanks. However, lots of compliments from someone who doesn't know me seem very insincere.

Once in a a great while......I will email someone randomly because I think something they said or did deserves a compliment. I would hope that even if I didn't qualify my statements, they would realize that it is exactly that, a compliment.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and if someone did or said something that is outstanding to you, they should know it!

That said, I have been very upfront with someone here about the fact I was interested in them....and got let down gently. It hurt, but didn't take long to recover from. That was way different from just a compliment. It was a fact of "I'm interested in you".

I take compliments given to me at face value, unless they are so outrageously insincere or blatantly a lie. Those I just ignore.

its you and a whole lot of other women..unfortunately think the samething...then they wonder why they are single

Sorry but i'm single so don't try to be rude.

Thats how i feel.
