How would you react if a random man, of average attractiveness, saw you and went “omg you’re pretty, I hope you have a great day” and just walked away, no creepy hitting on, just complement and walk away?

I feel like it’s the same if like a girl does this! Like when it’s clear you’re not being hit on and just getting a nice compliment it’s just very sweet and nice!

Why would u do that? Just to feed their egos? They probably get complimented all of the time.

I don’t think men making bitter comments about women and then demanding to get more attention is going to make people want to compliment you

Also, I compliment most men because I know we as men don’t hear it much, but something is better than nothing

That’s good. I don’t expect to be complimented anyway, so I don’t rlly care personally 🤷‍♂️. I just wouldn‘t compliment women just to compliment them bc I don‘t feel like it‘s smthg that‘s needed. Women know they‘re hot.

I don’t think anyone needs to be complimented but the way you put this is what doesn’t sit right. If you aren’t the kind of person to give compliments that’s fine but youre making it seem like women are snobby and attention seeking and like them solely for their egos

Why else do u , or anyone for that matter, like being complimented? Is it not bc it boosts ur ego?

If ur not already snobby and attention seeking, u will become that if we normalize compliments that aren’t flirting from men.

Look maybe I’m just used to complimenting my friends and being complimented by them but it’s not like I’m getting called hot or anything it’s like when my friends say I like your sweater or that thing I made looks cute. They are very different things than what you seem to think. Saying something nice about someone is not a bad thing. Also its fairly normalized in woman & non-men spaces to compliment people and be complimented and very few people in those spaces are snobby because of compliments

OP was talking abt calling girls pretty. I have no problem w/ complimenting gurls outfits or work, or rlly anything that they can control & isn‘t bc of luck.

I get that I feel like pretty can not just be about looks but about style or an outfit, I definitely get not going out of your way to call someone pretty on looks alone. The only person I do that to is my girlfriend which is very different.

Yeah. I just wouldnt straight up say a girl is pretty as a compliment. I would reserve that for someone I wanna date
