Computer, how do I tell women I’m only looking because they give me gender envy and not because I’m being a creep without outting myself? ‘PUTER DO YOU HEAR ME?!?

Well, you could have a little smile in the eyes to convey positivity. I like to turn it into a learning experience for myself while giving a compliment. “I love your outfit, where did you get it? I love what you did with your hair, where do you get it styled/how did you learn to do it? Any advice on how you achieve that makeup look?” Or I just sometimes give a genuine, heartfelt compliment. “Your hair is gorgeous and I love that colour on you!” Just be genuine. The intent will be there. :3

Just a little “girl I *love* your dress/necklace/earrings” goes a long way

🫶 I’m just scared, it’s so intimidating and I don’t even look like a woman 😭

I’ve been there! I promise, the intent is often conveyed without trying. ❤️

Maybe. I just don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable or taken aback or anything. If I were to do that I’d never be able to forgive myself, plus I have a fear of being seen as this intimidating big man
