Why Do Girls Get Mad When You Compliment Them

I told a girl-friend of mine that she looks nice in her clothes,and she texted me "you perv".

Do you women want to be called ugly?

Maybe try to change a voice. If she still calls you perv, then:
1)You are
2)She is not normal
3)You told her that "her muffin is tight as hell and you like it"

You can practice on me. Tell me how wonderful I am. At my age, it's unlikely you'll go wrong. You could tell me you noticed that my upper lip wax seems to be working well and it would be all good. I'm easy that way. Well, not that way.

Go!

It's not what you say, sometimes how you say it, and WHO is saying it.

Insecurity leads one to not truely believe a compliment when given so anger covers other emotions easily ~ THEY probably don't even know why they "act" angry lol

It means she is either insecure about her looks or thinks you're hitting on her and doesn't want you too.

Then again, she could be flirting by calling you a perv. lol She might like that.

it implies they don't look good all the other days, unless she obviously went to some trouble to look really nice

Funny in person? Sure... I've made many girls at my previous workplace laugh their asses off. None of them were throwing themselves at me like I was Hank Moody on Californication though.
Funny over the Internet? Depends... hmmm

Did you show them you were interested (if you were)? Or was it just an assumption that they were not interested?

Aside from what Erin said (which is the short answer), I think the phrasing is the key.

"you look nice in those clothes" might make her uncomfortable because the emphasis is on her, not the clothes.

"That dress looks really nice" might be a bit more subtle.

I just assumed it, with one exception. This girl I worked with last year, kinda quirky but still hot, she laughed at all my jokes and she seemed to enjoy working with me. She used to frequent the same clubs I did, so we often met each other when were downtown with friends. It felt kinda wrong for me to be attracted to someone who worked in the same store, so when she transferred from the branch she worked at to my branch it got a bit awkward for me (I did a few shifts with her before she moved to "my" branch just to fill in for someone who was sick or something like that). I tried to repress my feelings but it was clear to everyone at work that I fancied her.
During one night out at the club, when it was about 30 minutes until I would take a taxi home, she walked up to me and said "David, I know you have a crush on me". Then she had a long speech about how she liked me very very much but she was trying to get together with some ex-boyfriend. I tried to move on and I think I eventually did.
She quit her job a year ago and I got invited to party with her and her friend 2 weekends ago after having hardly seen her around since she left the job. Despite the fact I did my best to be just a friend she just HAD to tell me without any context: "You know we'll only be friends, OK?"

So yeah, I can make the girls laugh but they always keep me firmly in my place: the friend-zone. neutral
