Trane Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Does it ever get old, tiresome or tedious? In fact, I have no problems cold approaching a taller, beautiful lady and paying her a compliment on her legs or whatever else I find attractive about her without being perverted. All with no expectations from her either. I actually love paying a woman a careful, honest, compliment and getting a nice reaction even if nothing comes out of it.
d0nnivain Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I'm not that tall but any comment by a stranger about any aspect of my physical appears puts me on alert for danger even if I smile & say thank you for the compliment.
Phoe Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 While if a stranger said it, it might worry me a bit, I'd be polite and gracious about it. If someone I knew complimented my legs, I'd be happy. No, compliments on my long legs never get old, because I rarely get them. I more often get told my legs or too long, too this, too that, too skinny, too toned, too pale. I'm more accustomed to getting negative comments than positive ones. Just be careful about saying it to strangers. Could go wrong easily. 1
Maleficent Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 well I don't have long legs but I do have a lot of very visible tattoos and regularly get complimented on them so I'm going to answer anyways. Yes, it gets tiresome. Not sure why. Sometimes people just give you compliments in the most awkward situations - like when I'm working the front desk at work. And they start talking about their tattoos and what they would like to have tattoos or even ask me for referrals and all I can think of is "There is a lineup of people waiting for me to help them, and you are here wasting everyone's time talking about tattoos" And no, I don't work in the tattoo industry... lol

Just be careful about saying it to strangers. Could go wrong easily. Absolutely believe this. Lucky it hasn't happened to me all that much. I don't go complimenting everyone woman I see but I do compliment strange women all the time. Rarely, if at all have I received a bad response. The few worst responses I've got have been of the ignore and walk away variety. I think a lot of it has to do with timing, approach and your impression to her. This is where the fine line of being called a perv or a gentleman comes into play. I'm almost always looking my best when I compliment a lady because I care about my appearance when engaging anyone.

Aye...same here, but why draw attention to the obvious? It's just cheesy to be honest, and am sure most smart / strong women will rather want to be compliment on their brains, than on parts of their anatomy (the ones with no brains, sure live on body part compliments) I get turned on by a woman's brains that her body parts, and that is the honest truth. What good are those legs to me? The brains on the other hand is worth its weight in gold 1
ComingInHot Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Compliment away! Smart brainy women like to be complimented on being both smart AND beautiful too!!
Tayken Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Compliment away! Smart brainy women lime to be complimented on being both smart AND beautiful too!! Hmmm...really?
NYWoman Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Guys, it might help if you looked us in the eye instead of our bosum. The one I liked was "I like your eyes." Then I would look away from him, and ask him, "O yeah! What color are they?" 1
ascendotum Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I've seen a few taller women give back smartarse of various degrees responses back to the legs compliment. I don't think they saw it as a compliment especially if it not phrased properly. Its natural to mention/compliment something that sticks out and draws your attention to them, but of course dozens of people will have done the same in the past. If she likes you, it wont be such a faux pas.

If she likes you, it wont be such a faux pas. I concur. I haven't had a lot of the smartalicky, snotfaced remarks. When it has happened, the woman in question just ignored me and I left it at that. One of the best responses came from a married woman. I told her she had a nice skirt and matching thong sandals that complimented her legs so I couldn't resist. Seconds later she tells me I'm a cutey, says thank-you very much, strokes my head softly, and tells me that she wishes her husband would notice them a little more. Totally made my day and it was as innocent as anything. Woman wasn't a snob either. Seen her many weeks later out with her husband and she waved hello to me and I guess made a polite joke about it. Her husband was chuckling as she acknowledged me so I knew she must have told him about are brief meeting. Again, totally harmless innocent fun with a feel good compliment and an even better response. I know it's not always gonna come out as sweet as sugar like that but it's nice to know there are women who can take a harmless compliment.
CaliGypsy Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Yesterday at work I was climbing a tall ladder and a customer (woman) told me I had beautiful calves. It made my day. The most common stranger comment/compliment I get, is that I smell good. Anytime I receive a sincere compliment I'm pleased.
leavesonautumn Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I would feel uncomfortable if a stranger walked up to me and complimented my body. However, it does feel nice to be complimented on my smile and eyes after they've taken the time to talk to me .
jay1983 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Hey nice pair of legs you got there I just don't see that working. 1

The most common stranger comment/compliment I get, is that I smell good. Anytime I receive a sincere compliment I'm pleased. What if it was a man that was mild mannered, honest and sincere? Is the fact that another woman complimented you on your legs matter into how you handled/received the compliment? I'm more inclined to believe you might put the creep stamp on the guy if he wasn't physically attract. Timing is also key and the approach is sometimes of an improvisational nature. A smart person would take the time to consider the choice of words and the perhaps the environment in which the person is viewed. I think twice about complimenting a strange woman if I feel that I might be impeding her time or invading her personal space.
