-Your life experience is different than mine.

-I enjoy giivng compliments. When the words come out of my mouth, people, especially women appreciate my sincerity.

Of course, everybody's life experiences are different.

As I said before when I give compliments I truly do mean them. Just because I don't mention the parts I don't find flattering doesn't mean I'm lying to them so much as trying to take the other person's feelings into account.

Maybe the women you know have no problem with it, but in my life whenever I've witnessed anyone give that particular style of compliment, all I've ever seen come out of it is anger and/or hurt feelings, which is pretty much exactly the opposite of what complimenting someone is supposed to do. No one I've ever encountered in the course of my life, is particularly appreciative of unsolicited critiques and advice, especially on the back end of what is supposed to be a compliment.

^-

I make my environment healthy and it reflects in me.

-Let me give you a true example, that really happend so you can understand me; ME: "I like those sunglasses. Where did you get thoses? Those are the lastest style out now in London!!"

lol yes I think so "like a young chubby Carol Channing"

I think it depends more on the person you're giving that compliment to - like, if they aren't into Carol Channing, you might not want to compare them to her but instead think of someone similar that you know they don't mind and then compare them to that person. At least that's what I'd do. lol

How would you know who they like? I guess you could ask. I mean, you see the girl, she's not a 10 but she's really very attractive. You say "Who do you think is the most attractive woman in the world?" Maybe they say Jessica Alba, just as an example, so you could say "Well, you're only a couple of notches below her as far as attractiveness goes". cool

Is that along the lines of what you're saying?

That hairstyle really accentuates your chins.

I wish I had breasts that hid my waist the way yours do.

"You're homely enough that I'm fairly confident I can get you to sleep with me tonight, if needs must, but probably attractive enough if not that I wouldn't off the bat rule out raping you over going home alone" batting eyes

That's nice but a bit wordy.

How about something like "I'd fuck you... from behind, so I can stare at your beautiful hair the whole time"

It's a fucking compliment. Overanalyzing it sucks allllll the meaningjuice out of it. Social graces are for the birds. If you like something on/in/around/about/regarding someone/something/somewhere/somewho then just say it.

And if the bitch sounds like fucking Carol Channing, then she deserves to know that rather than someone say "YA SOUND LIKE RATHBERRIETH. ISN'T THAT CUTE!!! THAT'S SO CUTE."

Well certainly if you are smooth, you can say "you have the teeth of a middle period Carol Channing"

and just as they look at you like confused you say "I fucking love Carol Channing, baby wink "

Not when I say it. It means nice face or nice top. hmph! Breasts can be complimented specifically, I think. I used to compliment a female friend of mine on her breasts all the time.

Nice top Fauxie. smile

What if someone has a generally, all-round pleasing face? Can't I just say they have a nice face?

I have told people they have a great face before. I'm probably talking from a photographer's point of view, but it's generally very well taken smile

Yes, if you can confirm they are doing something that they are trying to do, or compare to something that they value highly, it probably means more to them than if you compare it to something you value

my sister in law told me I looked like Lene Lovich on my wedding day, she can thank her lucky stars that's who I was into at that time whew so it was a compliment, esp the hair mushy

That seems fine, but could be disingenuous if she has lank hair.

How about "Nice body, all round" fatalbert

Or maybe "I've got to give you props for your boobs. Seriously, wait here while I go get props for those things, grandma".

It's not about social graces it's about other people's feelings. I could give less than a shit what is the right fork or spoon to use at what point during dinner.

And...hush up midget nuts.

thumbs up! It's different coming from us photogs. nod

I'll say "Have you ever considered modeling?" and they'll typically say "No" redface "I don't think I'm really...well, I've never..." and I'll say "No, you're quite attractive, but probably not quite attractive enough for modeling". rose

That's not what I was commenting on. I was commenting on the initial example we were both discussing, the idea of whether or not it's okay to start randomly giving people advice on how to apply their makeup. And I don't think it is unless they specifically ask for it. I honestly have yet to see anyone's life or environment be made healthier or happier by doing something like that either.

-It seems like you need examples to be given to you so you can understand another's point of view.

-I know woman and men who are excellent makeup artists, they make a living off of making others beautiful with their craft.

-Then there are some who do it for fun, the applying of makeup and they are experts.

-if I see a woman with red lipstick and the out-line of her lips is done in white and I like it, i will say; "Wow, I have never seen that way of applying those colors like that! What brand of makeup did you use? Was it expensive? How long did it take you?" -You see all my sentences are compliments.
