Lucifer7 you asked baout compliments. I'm no expert so perhaps you would like to get other peoples ideas as well however when it come sto compliments i tend to avoid giving them but if i do give them I try not to go overboard. For example I might comment on a piece of clothing, a personality trait - ie the way somebody talks , their communication skills but i try to avoid saying stuff like about somebodies physical appearance.
Some poepl emay think that - thats unproductive however think about a hot female , the sort that turns heads when you are in the car, the sort that people cropss the road just to get a better loook at her. Think about how many times she gets complimented per day about her apperance. A hot female gets ocmplimented dozens of times per week. When she hears it agian and again she categorizes the person giving the compliment and thinks not another guy trying to beforied me and suck up to me. This would act as a turn off to her.
I'm not expecting everybody to agree with the above views and don't mind listening to alternatives but thats the way I see it and the reason I don't go overboard with complimenting a female on 1st meeting.
Yes, that's true, I definitely get your point and agree.
However sometimes I still see the pros of a compliment, even if just as a way of "getting your foot in the door".
Just one example: I walked up to this girl some weeks ago at the fringes of the dance floor and she brushed me away the first time around.
Then I just added "sorry, I just wanted to say that you look really cute in that dress and also your English sounds pretty good" (the second part of the compliment was also a lil forced, as you can't understand so well that with just one sentence).
And man, did everything change. She grinned a "thank you", turned around as if she had only seen me that moment for the first time and I was in.
OK, smile, body language and the fact I was trying to convey that without the "pedestal approach" were part of the thing, but still I think that a "how are you", "I need your opinion on something" or any kind of joke wouldn't have worked nearly as well.
Anyway, I've got other examples but don't wanna go off topic, I intend to search or open a topic about this as the "compliment/no compliment" thing interests me a lot.
Thank for your reply
