how to compliment someone without seeming like a fucking creep. an easy how to guide:
a) compliment them on something that they can change. donāt say ānice tits janiceā, say something like āyour shoes are radā or āyour hair looks greatā.
b) donāt be a fucking creep. if itād weird you out if it was said to you, then itās likely too creepy to say to someone else.
EASY.
also this pic is super strawmanny and gross. it is not hard to not be a creep.
My most favorite compliment Iāve ever gotten I got from a man who was a complete stranger who drove up next to me while I was walking home at 9pm in the night:
I guess he saw me speed walk, overtake, then completely outpace some really tall business man in front of me (who had also increased his speed to overtake me back but failed).
Anyway this complete stranger doing the exact stereotype of what a man shouldnāt ever do drove up next to me, rolled down the window and said:
āThat is the fastest damn walking Iāve ever seen. Maāam, youā¦have the soulā¦of a bicycle.ā
Then rolled up his window and drove away.
He didnāt creepily drive behind me, he drove regular speed and came to a rolling stop. He didnāt roll down his window all the way or stick his head out, he said his piece quickly and with a great amount of awe and respect, then he didnāt act like he needed a response from me or expect anything from the compliment. And then he left as quickly as he came. The compliment was so good and politely delivered that Iāve thought about it with amusement for over a year.
It is NOT HARD to not be threatening to women. Those who canāt manage it are sus as hell.
That is one hell of a compliment.
