haha!
he only finds her beautiful because she looks like him.
Hmm I do believe that is called being humble. Something the world lacks atm.. At least where I live anyway. Everyone in my area is conceded beyond hell and they all think they are the greatest thing since the internet. If someone said hey you are beautiful, the most likely response you get here would be “I know I am. Thank you.” I like modesty personally.
Modesty is one thing. Most girls do this so they can hear you say “yeah you are, c’mon”, then say they’re not, ad infinitum.
Basically, compliment.
No you fool, it’s called “fishing for compliments” and it’s something that is more annoying than the Aids Virus.
In English language culture, it’s usually considered fishing for more compliment when not accepting a compliment.
I figured out the nice way, as in, a friend told me. Suddenly, those akwards reactions from English speaking friends made sense.
person named named “sa” couple comments down – gave thier 2¢ (you commented on it too)– Exactly the kind of people I am talking about that live in my area though.
(the dude basically stated that they thought the same as my example “I know I am.” But instead of saying thanks afterward, he said he didn’t care what you thought, which is ignorant imo)
I do agree what you mean by fishing for compliments, but I guess it depends on how the person approaches the compliment. Also you said “English speaking” You mean British English, as in from the UK culture wise? Or English as in the language we both speak, regardless of where we are from, (ie: Britain, Canada, America or wherever..) ???
I ment the language (I only know English-speakers from the USA).
Good day.
Except that when you compliment people and they say “oh, no I’m not,” 9 times out of 10 it comes off as them wanting you to “convince” them… which is obnoxious. Personally, I think being modest/humble is in your delivery, not necessarily what you say.
I agree with that.
conceited*
And it’s false humility in this case, the same kind of arrogance you’re complaining about but expressed as an inversion.
Haha, it’s funny because it’s true.
complimenting strangers on the street is SOOO middle-east…
Actually, not it’s not. Jerkwads pass unwanted comments and “compliments” at complete-stranger females on the street ALL THE TIME.
A truly international phenomenon.
Hmmm when i do this girls just slap me. >.>
You’re not supposed to have your hand down your pants when you say it.
Or be ugly.
tee-hee, I don’t like you
All girls do that tho! We don’t want to say ‘thank you’ because, we dont want you guys thinking we’re stuck up or something?
I vowed to stop making self-deprecating comments to gain encouragement, but I probably won’t be able to do it.
I see what you did there.
I don’t like this kind of reaction from girls, not because they are modest, but because they are disregarding my opinion. If I give a compliment to a girl I expect her to recognize it. Saying, “no i’m not” sometimes feels like the girl is implying that I’m just saying that to pick her up (which may be true but ruins the mood… ). Thank you is always the correct answer!
Or she could have low self-esteem.
The world? Not always about you.
OR, she could just NOT like you and/or doesn’t wan’t your attention. You’re supposed to charm her, not like a horny pervert. Took me years to realize that as I grew wizerr!
The world’s not always about her, either.
if she has a low self esteem then she should be grateful for the compliment as it is constructive to a better emotional state for her. to be so self-viewing and self-centered as to immediately argue or disagree with the outside of opinion instead of stopping to realize that we will always have a more severely skewed view of ourselves than a random stranger on the street and feel that momentary glow, perhaps realizing that her standards for herself are pleasantly high, unequivocally places her firmly into the category of a belief that the world is all about her, but from a sad little victimized standpoint rather than one of arrogance.
a.k.a. IF SHE GOTS LOW SELF ESTEEM, THEN SHE DAMN WELL BETTER FEEL BETTER AFTER I COMPLIMENT HER!!!
Or she could be in the mood to not be harassed by some frigging random stranger who feels the need to comment on her looks.
If you’re on a date, fine, or you have some other personal relationship. Otherwise keep your opinion to yourself, unless you’re asked.
Don’t tell me what to do. You ain’t my mother.
Pot meet kettle.
Oh my god, this.
When are men going to learn? We know we have boobs. We know we look good. We still don’t want a total stranger to talk to us out of nowhere. Really, just don’t. Least of all to tell us we’re pretty. I’ll just think you’re thinking of me naked, or want to rape me. Don’t be a weirdo. And if you are, and the girl shows you clearly she doesn’t want you to talk to them, then DON’T CALL HER A B*TCH. We’re entitled to our opinions, too.
You might as well give ‘thanks, but i don’t want to go to bed with you’ for an answer…that would better suit with the intention of the compliment…
You won’t get anybody to suck it with that attitude. Just sayin’.
No need to thank me. (C wut I did thare?)
Look, it’s very simple. You give a compliment like this, and the response is:
*look a bit embarrassed, smile* Aw, thank you! (if you’re a girl)
*smile* Thank you! (if you’re a guy)
That’s what I do (as a girl), and that’s what I expect from people I give compliments to. If you say ‘no I’m not’, then that makes the compliment-giver feel shotdown. If you say ‘I know’, then you just come off as an immodest prick.
See? Simple ^^
You’re smart.
But srsly, I think the above is the only polite way to respond to compliments. I used to say the same thing as the girl character, and it just made people feel awkward.
Except if you’re alone in the street, and this guys goes from calling you pretty to “do you have a boyfriend”, etc. Really, you must be very young or live in a really good neighborhood.
To me, for being “polite” I’ve had to literally convince guys that I’m fcking married, because they were pushing for a date/kept harassing me and I couldn’t convince them I wasn’t interested. And I’m talking about total decent looking strangers in the street to whom I just said hi or tahnk you after a comment on my looks.
Well, tbh I wouldn’t exactly hang around if someone said that to me – I’d say my thanks and move on. If they started hitting on me then of course I’d just ignore them. If you stop replying they lose interest very fast – I can vouch for this. If you keep responding (like it sounds like you do, albiet in a bad way) then of course they’re gonna get hopeful.
But anyway we’re talking here about just a random compliment, with no other intentions, rather than creepy guys who want to hit you up.
that is the proper response. a humble but gracious reception of the given compliment. you get +9 points for your above-average people skills, congratulations, get in my goddamn van
…i mean, uh…what?
Guys, this is actually a good answer to start a conversation…
I always supposed the implication is “thank you for complimenting me”, and not “Thank you, I know I am”. But whatever, right?
Gah, replied to the wrong person, sry about that. (it was for Old School up there xD )
I am one of the girls that tends to respond to complments like this. It isn’t because I’m disregarding your opinion, or fishing for compliments; I honestly don’t feel ‘beautiful’. If a girl doesn’t feel beautiful, you can compliment her until the end of time, and it will not change how she feels about herself. Knowing that other people think you are beautiful, and feeling that you are beautiful are two completely different things.
tl;dr
quit thinkin so much about yourself. if you get this compliment on a regular basis, well…
if a man calls you a horse, you tell him off. if two men call you a horse, you punch em both in the mouth. if three men call you a horse, you might oughta start tryin on saddles
This is what you get when you tell your elementary school crush she’s ugly, and she believes you.
And those of you going “Derp why would she believe that; can’t she see teh mirror” have clearly never been a young girl.
Compliments make me nervous and suspicious.
Yep.
Agree! Unless it’s a date, it’s really f*cking weird.
MEN OF THE WORLD: DON’T. JUST DON’T.
first comment from the girl’s point of view that has actually made sense. i approve of your intellectual response to this meme and thread.
Damn, this forum is full of so many bitter, angry dudes.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s kinda weird to go up to random females(or males) and compliment them? I know that to the one doing so, it seems like a sweet thing to do, but..
Isnt`t saying , “WOWZ , UR SO GEROGEUOS” to an unknown female is like saying “Wow! Your so , i hope that`s a good way to start a relationship! I`m John!”
In my case it would be like ‘ Wow! Your so, i hope i get laid by you ASAP!’
If someone said that to me, I’d just say : “Ehh, you’re right.”
the thing about complimenting someone on their physical appearance, is that it’s stupid, its not like they made themselves in a test tube at home, and perfectly engineered themselves to look good. it’s not like they did anything deserving of a compliment….
True, indeed.
You’re rite, man
Totally agree with you!
what go through most girls’ mind: Stop talking to me, weirdo.
what goes through a guy’s: I might just tell her she’s pretty and maybe she’ll sleep with me! Oh she didn’ t, what a b*tch!
Unless a girl is really hinting she wants to talk to you, just don’t. Even if you don’t want to harass her, you are. And if you are rejected, TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.
YES, THIS EXACTLY.

I made this topic ages ago.
I usually ignore compliments nowadays only because of experience. If someone gave me a compliment, they’d follow with a “Just kidding,” or “[insert degrading comment here]“.
Basically, a different reaction would be warranted based on your own personal experience.
Except you haven’t made their day better. 80% of the time you’ve just made someone feel extremely awkward. Or worse, enforced the idea that a girl’s physical appearance is on the table for discussion and examination at all times, even by complete strangers. It’s not nice, and it doesn’t come off as a compliment.
It’s polite to thank someone for a compliment. Provided that it’s a person you know, or someone who is just genuinely being kind.
Modesty is a good trait, but false modesty is annoying.
If it’s a creeper, it’s awkward to be complimented, so even though I was raised to thank people for compliments, I’d probably respond with an awkward “not really” or something.
