I heard from some feminists that women don’t like being complimented cause it reduces them to their looks. Do y’all think like that? Has a compliment made you dislike a guy or like him more?
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Well i sometimes find it wierd when some GUY compliments me on my looks or dress…I don’t know why,
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Well, when it is done in a chichora way and by a stranger or unknown then some will get offended. If its by a fiancé or husband its different. The intention behind the compliment is important. No compliment is free. Also, why do guys just compliment looks? Imagine many people giving the same compliments about looks how does that stand out or make someone feel special? It doesn’t. It feels ordinary. I have found compliments to girls based on attributes, actions or khayalat are liked more by females. Or complimenting their taste in clothes, jewellery. It gives a more multi-dimensional approach to a compliment.
its also not just feminists.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Females like detailed and specific compliments which apply uniquely to them. Compliments on someone’s beauty, hair etc are vague and genera. Its what othrs folder in fb are full of.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Everyone loves a sincere compliment, that is human nature. If they feel you have an ulterior motive than they don’t like it. When my friend Jessica came to the meeting I complimented her that she looks like a model and her face lit up with happiness, she had been feeling a little bit down and insecure due to some politics. Jessica probably spends hours getting ready. She has perfectly manicured hands, makeup etc so we can tell that looks are important for her. On the other hand Isabell who is a basketball player and never applies makeup we shouldn’t compliment her looks as such but if we said you look more toned lately have you been working out a lot more than she will be happier.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Its an interesting question and I guess everyone reacts in a different way.
But the most hilarious looks I’ve seen on women is when they get prego and are almost due and the male colleagues come, give congrats and say, “Awe..how cute, can I touch or feel your belly” and then they literally do it. Not sure if its me only but i noticed most women dont like it yet they let them touch as like WTH lets just get over it..
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Well you live in Pakistan so it might creep you out cause of how segregated it is over there and I think most girls in relationships don’t appreciate men other their own, complimenting them.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
lol so men should just tell random women they like their brain even if they know nothing about them. Most times when a guy likes a girl he doesn’t know, it’s almost always cause of her looks and/or how she carries herself.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Has that happened to you? I think that’s weird, I wouldn’t wanna touch a woman’s baby bump unless she was my own wife of course.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Yeah, I guess it’s only worth complimenting a girl who puts an effort into how she looks. That said, growing up I was raised to not compliment really attractive girls cause they’re used to compliments and it gets to their head and you also don’t wanna be just another guy complimenting her for appearance. So I guess we can all agree that it varies from woman to woman and that for us guys we gotta gauge/analyse what would work with a certain woman we’re interested in.

No I’m not pregnant yet. Bus behn dua karo!!
What I wrote was on the basis of my observation around
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Social intelligence is the key and showing respect and then everything is about timing, before saying or asking anything you have to send out feelers. Western girls don’t have that same attitude and they are for the most part very humble and accept a compliment very graciously. No one at our office ever complimented Jess for her looks and as soon as publicly made that comment all the girls started complimenting her and saying they feel so jealous of her. Jess is a cross bw white and Indonesian and is very tall with eastern features. I will post a video for you later about getting people to like you and about ice breakers.

Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Child birth doesn’t happen that often among Caucasians here and it really is celebrated intensely. Pregnant women are treated as celebrities. Also when I am walking my dog random white people stop me to rub my puppy. Not all touches are sexual in nature, it is not that uncommon to hug either.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
I think that you may be unintentional stereotyping. Not everywhere is gender segregated and I am living in the west now. Chichorapan is not limited to the east bt of course it is less in the west due to better law and order.
Isn’t this the case for women in relationships everywhere? They prefer compliments from people who are their own. It depends on the intention of the guy and the girl. If he is a work colleague and giving a simple compliment it might be ok depending on the female. If a stranger compliments someone in the west depending on how genuine they sound you would just thank them or ignore them. Nobody wants unwanted attention.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
Your comment is sarcastic isn’t it? Childbirth is not uncommon among Caucasians and ive never seen a stranger touching a pregnant woman’s belly. Even among colleagues ive not seen it. Maybe if they are really close friends it may happen.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
I assumed since you posted it here you were asking about south Asian girls.
If you like someone usually they aren’t random. It also depends if it is actual deeper than just infatuation. If that is the case most likely he knows of or about her qualities. Compliments don’t have to be either on looks or brain it can be appreciating her other qualities maybe kindness, generosity or even like you said the way she carries herself. My Pakistani female friends appreciate such compliments. Compliments just based on looks means the person found no other attributes worth complimenting. This may not come across as well since na-mehrams are meant to keep their gaze lowered.
Then again it depends on who the person is complimnng ad the intention behind it.
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
No I am not, I am in real estate and keep an eye on the demographics, there is a severe demographic problem with negative birth rates amongst whites and the aging population as whites are not having as many children. My youngest’s best friend was like a surrogate brother for my him and when he went to visit the grand parents they would spend a thousand dollars on fire works. Maybe it is a North American thing and among close colleagues I have seen the tummy touch frequently. @SID did not say strangers I think he mentioned colleagues. Strangers pet my dog all the time though…lol
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
I can understand colleagues who may be comfortable with it but not strangers. I know SID said colleagues but from your comment I assumed strangers might do that as well. Similar situation in Australia. We have an aging population but last few yrs there has been a baby boom. I’ve seen many children and babies around. It could be due to government incentives. I’ve seen strangers patting dogs here as well 
Re: Women: Do you get offended by compliments?
yo lets just keep this thread on topic.
