I always thought the reason men opened doors for ladies was so they could check their arses out as they went through the door.....

Works both ways, I have been known to pay a man a compliment. Happy to received them too. I'll hold a door open for anyone, not fussy, but rarely get thanked for it these days!

I did my power walk in a particularly figure hugging pair of trackies today, I like to think I spread a little happiness on my way, it was my good deed for the day lol

I must admit - it's impossible not to look on such delightful occasions - and yes, the day is always brightened by such events - thanks girls - please keep up the spreading of such happiness.

Didn't the mathematicians decree that statistically today is the happiest day of the year?

Quote: I like to give compliments to both men and women. It's a nice way to brighten someone's day. Even if they do feel uncomfortable with it, deep down it makes them feel a bit better about themselves. We could all use a little more of that.

Yep sincere complements can build trust and confidence, though its not something to build you life upon, its just a nice informal gesture.

I love being complimented. However I've had to learn how to receive genuine compliments without feeling embarrassed. Then, of course, there are the guys who throw a few complimentary words and then expect you to fall at their feet .. [eyeroll] and the ones who think you'll be smitten if they leer at you and say something suggestive .. [eyeroll eyeroll eyeroll]

I think if you immediately go into embarrassed mode you don't actually hear the tone of what they've said, or feel that lovely feeling of having been thought worthy of a compliment. And I nearly always thank them for saying it and tell them they've brightened my day.

And it's nearly always because a short while ago a really lovely man said something perfectly lovely to me and it still feels wonderful when I remember it, but that was a day when my 'embarrassed mode' got in the way and I didn't react in the way I really would have liked to. I sort of bumbled a bit - I suppose because I'm really attracted to him anyway, so suddenly I'd gone all shy .. DOH!!

I'll have to give him a compliment next time I see him and see if I can't pick up the thread again ...

My problem is I blush big time, and being so pale it really notices, so if someone compliments me I blush then I blush because I'm blushing and it gets worse and worse and then I wish they'd never flippin' said anything!

And then I feel stoopid.
