I hope you're joking, but I worry you're being serious.
Women LOVE compliments, and they are the simplest, most effective way to start a conversation - with ANYONE. The only problem, is sometimes a compliment will come off as rapport-seeking behaviour - like buying a drink, to "make them like you" rather than saying it because you really mean it. That comes down to a confident delivery, voice tonality, body language, and your choice of words.
Negs are vastly overrated, often incorrectly used, and terribly misleading guys who just need simple social skills.
To the OP - absolutely compliment the girl - but why leave and hope she comes back? Why not just stay in the interaction after the compliment and just have a normal conversation with her and find out about her?
I think its cause its easy to get stuck in that PUA mindset where you wanna look unavailable and hard to get, and giving her a compliment and sticking around for her conversation feels needy to most PUA dudes who are used to being indirect.
I'll try it that way just to see how it works though.
yes sir exactly my point
You seem to be missing the point, the fact that you send out a compliment shouldn't be that you are trying to get a girl. You should be complimenting people everyday. It should always be genuine and very personal, confidence, tonality and body language are very important, you should listen to Ryan, he's spot on with his advice. Ryan knows his stuff and a lot of us have a lot of respect for the words he writes, I very rarely don't get something out of his posts. If you aren't getting something out of his posts you should open up your mind some.
Open your mind up and try getting over Verbal Communication, if that is your only form of communication you have a problem. Every time you speak it is estimated you send up to 12 non-verbal messages hands, face, eyes, head, feet, legs, torso, arms, etc. You should be more focused on the larger part of your message.
Often times with body language we give our value, that value we can lower when we walk up to someone and say oh you are better then me. When you walk up to a girl and say "You are gorgeous!" your body language may be saying you are way to good for me. You need to be saying "You are gorgeous!", and you are no better then me. A lot of times people will compliment but in doing so be saying they are below the other person with their body language.
This is the problem when people compliment, they say you are better then me. When I compliment I make them feel good by elevating their mood and status, at the same time saying my body language speaks of confidence, my tone speaks of confidence, and I am saying good now you are at my level, that is you feel as good as I do.
Complimenting is a very good thing, you should immediately stop giving advice condemning it. In fact you should go out and compliment 5 people(either sex) a day with a genuine smile, confident body language, and tonality. Tell me whether you think you had a better effect on people making you a more attractive person.
One thing about compliments is I generally steer away from physical aesthetics(natural looks), complimenting clothes, jewelry, shoes, behavior, body language, personality related things, choices she makes. Once you are in a more intimate environment you can switch to aesthetics be warned you want to let a women know you are complimenting her not her outer shell.
