Should you compliment women or nah?

[old_timer]

I think I only "compliment" (if that's the word??) appearance during sex via dirty talk

I remember complimenting my wife's efforts to balance her career with her personal life
In that she went hard at work,, but she unplugged and left it at the office
And she is fairly successful.. A middle manager ... Given significant roles/duties in her company

I also complimented her parenting.. That she stayed involved with her adult children,, but also pushed them away.. Keeping boundaries

I remember those two compliments.. I think that showed the right level of attention / awareness on my part for early phase of relationship

Once you are a couple.. You compliment to affirm and encourage.. Like "yes dear, you look great" and now we need to leave before we are late to the show etc
But she's my wife.. It's my job to tell her if she has lipstick on her teeth or whatever

not sure whether to listen to actual females or coli brehs

I compliment other women

It doesn't cost you anything to pay a compliment

But "pay" signifies a transaction of some point

If I "pay" a compliment, what am I getting of equal value in return?

It's a phrase- don't think too much into it

Double entendre

Or it was a Freudian slip

I do, but I'm the type of breh that women want compliments from.

As with all things when dealing with women, if YOU are confident in yourself, everything else will naturally fall into place.

I'm trying to wrap my head around a female acting snotty over a compliment.

First ya'll tell me about chicks who are nasty and dirty.

Then ya'll tell me they can't cook.

Then u say their hygiene ain't on point.

Now these bytches don't know how to take a compliment?!
What gutter are these chicks crawling out of?

Some of the descriptions I hear on this site have me going
I don't know blk chicks who smell, got nasty houses, and act stuck up when getting complimented.
I'm not saying anybody is lying btw.

But that shyt is ridiculous.

It's not necessarily a bunch of women embodying ALL these traits if a breh is thinking of whatever number of women off the top of his head and each of them have at least of 2 of the 4 then it starts to become a noticeable pattern

 

[born of fire]

no of course you can’t compliment women
what are you trying to do, remind them that they’re people?


:nenecmon:

 

[Commish]

I would caution doing at work. But, on the streets? Sure!

 

[Shadow King]

I don't do it randomly but in the flow of a conversation and it's usually a response to them saying something modest. The most random one I'd make is if she changed her hair.

I know some ain't shyt people but damn people just not caring about the basics these days!!!!! Da hell!
Lmao! This is standard shyt.

 

[Reno89]

No. Compliments used to be viewed as a nice gesture. These days, when you compliment a woman, you're pretty much acknowledging that she's above you

 

[TEH]

That’s no longer acceptable

Don’t do it

It will backfire somehow

Exceptions are wife, mother or daughter

I learned a hard lesson today about this.

I'm classmates with this person who's genderfluid, but if you look at them, you would assume they were a girl. Told them they looked good in class and they were legit offended. Told me that it's the millionth time some guy in class commented on their looks when they didn't ask and didn't know the guy.

And when I said it, they were like "I know I'm pretty. Thanks tho. " Right after saying it left a bad taste in their mouth.

I gave them validation for free and made them feel like a victim.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

Nah. You gotta insult them. It throws them off like a MF

then spit your game
