Compliment her on the street - is this a dead art form?

It's pretty clear by now why it's going out of style. I won't call it an art form, that's probably inopropriate, just another relic of male entitlement (to use the "in" word) consigned to history.

How about you show yourself so I can give you my opinion. Only fair wouldn't you think? In your comment, you also seemed sensitive about the age reference, any particular reason for that? Just wondered

the age reference 'dirty old men' comment, ask yourself this, for those of you who have been to Swanbourne, what age are the men walking around you, along the water line, through people, walk up to you, whatever, shirt, no pants, playing with themselves while ogling naked women (belly hanging over just for effect), how many of them are young? My observation is based on this kind of DISPLAYED BEHAVIOR, and not limited to the nude beach, obviously, but NOT a general comment about older men and their sexuality. That should have been obvious but let's blow this out of proportion as well, why not, it's all good fun

I frequently see a woman in the street and pass compliment in one way or another. As yet I have never been rebuffed... perhaps I comment upon older ladies (older than 25) who make an effort in their appearance... and thus appreciate a polite comment. Yet on the other hand, it has never lead to anything more than a smile, blush or comment.

Seems that the responses he earned weren't favourable to the PR he sought by posting it. His 'brand' was tainted. He's here, under a new name. I guarantee it.

Quoting 'I_touch_myself2' How about you show yourself so I can give you my opinion. Only fair wouldn't you think? In your comment, you also seemed sensitive about the age reference, any particular reason for that? Just wondered You have had access to my pics in the past so you know what I look like. You know how to give your opinion and you're welcome to it. Koko has summed up my point regarding the age reference better than I did. I admit my post was inflammatory and that I perhaps misread the shopping center incident. Personally I found your attitude to guys allegedly consistently going out of their way to perve on you to be incredible, arrogant and hypocritical. I was not trying to blame the victim, I contend there was no victim as just as people are entitled to wear what they want people are also entitled to look and walk where and how they want. Comparisons to rape and assault are not what I was talking about. Harassment is a grey area as it involves opinion which is not always perfectly articulated or understood. I now accept that the shopping centre incident could have been harassment and I don't condone that or blame you for it. I am glad this resulted in some discussion and appreciate people's views. Sex on the beach is most likely a sex crime. Quoting 'Kokoflamingo' Its the fact that in other posts, attention given by a hot young stud leads to a fuck on the beach. Old guy at the mall doesnt quite cut it. Sorry and Ill be blasted for this but thats how I see it. And its not a personal observation....there are many similar posts about receiving male attention that are positive. As Deepest Purple points out, when its someone that doesnt appeal to us we get all antsy about it. Im guilty.....young hottie chats me up and Im flattered. Old over attentive guy and Im not so flattered. But it doesnt make him a criminal.

Quoting 'Summer_solstice' Quoting 'Mischeviouslad'It becomes harassment once the recipient expressed their feelings of not wanting it either verbally or physically. Problem there would be that some women ignore unwanted attention rather than confront it (they hope it goes away, they get flustered, they feel unsafe, whatever reason).And some guys (not saying you) are under the impression that if a woman doesn't express verbally or physically that she doesn't want it, there is no problem. And that's a problem, imo. So...... the solution is develop mind reading skills or simply stop paying women any attention at all ? Perhaps we could issue men who pass an emotional intelligence test with a "female communication license" Women will of course need to pass an authenticity and plain english exam to get same.

And that's a problem, imo. You've hit the nail on the head.Not everyone reads body language or a social situation. However, without that initial approach, there is no response.... even if no response is the response.... (thats still a physical expression, as I mentioned) But we're saying pretty much the same thing.

Doesn't always involve the use of actual force......and my point was that it usually has occurred far earlier than a physical interaction, and it's the same for harassment. So I'll reiterate in that if you believe you've been assaulted/harassed, then it's quite often the case that you have been. And any such claims should always be treated as though you have been.

well back on topic, the last time I got a compliment in public was from my coffee lady lol my lifeline who complimented me on my clothes. What was I wearing, yup, my short frayed/ripped shorts and a silky, see-through white top with bikini underneath, very sexy, she loved it and asked me where I bought my clothes. She didn't think there was a problem with me going out in public dressed like that, go figure I freely compliment her because she's so lovely, genuine, happy and cheery

got a compliment today from an older man, 67 in fact, told me I had a nice smile, and definitely wasn't trying to hit on me. Married and a gentleman, was just paying a compliment, which was received with another smile, as we walked on our way was doing business with him prior which is how I knew age etc but just a respectful compliment

I personally love it when someone compliments me - it makes me feel good about myself and the effort I have put in.Don't let one female's negative response put you off spreading the love!

Woman is walking down street minding her own businesses. Random strange man shouts something to her about her appearance. She's not interested. Doesn't reply. Strange man comes at her, crossing street to do so, to tell her off. How threatened do you think she felt at that moment? The lesson here for women is that to avoid threatening confrontations with strange men in the street you should always smile and say thankyou for all complements. Personal safety is worth appeasing the ego of a random man.

Never a truer word spoken. But at the end of the day you / we have maintained our standards of social interaction. And to those who are to self indulged to reply...... At the end of the day, that's your loss

If I know the woman well...ie friend or workmate...I will pay a due compliment from time to time as they know me and vice versa...I wouldn't compliment a complete stranger...as I don't know the inner person and clothes and looks are superficial to me. However I do enjoy compliments and wolf whistles from the opposite sex as im walking down the st...

If a man , old man , dirty old man or a women paid me a compliment on the street , it would put a smile on my face instantly- They have noticed me ... Yes me .. Not the person super module in front of me ..... There's nothing more faltering when a sencere person payes you a compliment --- ..... Even though you may not be attracted to that person , I would respond with A thank you // and more than likely give a compliment back . I love that moment when someone catches your eye and your both looking over your shoulder - Should be more of it - make someone's day !!!!

It's not everyday someone makes the effort to approach you and compliment you in person. I quite like it. Even if I wasn't interested in them I would smile and thank them for their flattery. Very different to the common creepy stare that I often get. I wouldn't let your experience with her get to you and stop you from complimenting a woman in the future. - Posted from rhpmobile
