When youre not familiar with the person and the compliment is personal then the person gets cross you didnt accept their compliment. I dislike those situations.
Ive complimented strangers before: nice hair, clothes, shoes but thats as far as it goes.  |

"Is... acknowledging a positive attribute and really meaning it"
I agree - but what if they compliment me for example on my bum (they do not lol) and I personally hate it (I do not either) but just as an example.

I was just thinking of that yesterday.. when people chose to compliment and on what. How do you make your compliment stand out in a flood of similar ones.. and do you actually need to make it different or just the gesture matters. Just in relation to fab. Not life outside. |

"For me if something is said from the heart...a good place, then any misunderstandings are quickly cleared up"
I think misunderstandings can be cleared up quickly if people actually take the time to listen to each other. Usually we make a snap judgment there and then and still let it linger even if the misunderstanding has been resolved. |

That’s still a compliment ... regardless if you like the subject of the compliment or not |

When it feels it's personal to you. It's easy to say "you're beautiful" and it's kinda meh, but saying "I love the way the light bounces off your hair" feels more personal. But also depends who is saying it also. Even something that sounds like an insult can be a compliment from the right person

I think in a group of close friends it's kind of like passing on positive vibes. Like your mate will give you a compliment and big you up when you're having a shitty day and you'll do the same when they need it. So you all end up boosting each others confidence.
From people who want to get into your knickers? Exactly that |

Isn't it just when you want to let someone know there's something about them that you really like? Pretty simple in terms of what's good and what drives it imo  |

I think comparisons and mentioning other profiles forces things into the “not a compliment” category. It’s something I’ve noticed to be common in first messages and it kinda turns my stomach to read.
Like, you can say I look good without needing to demean or diss the bodies of anyone else on here. We all look darn good in our own unique and beautiful ways.  |

"Meh, just remember most of what I say is sarcasm.
So any compliments are usually few and far between but when I do give them I really really really mean it.
So I am drop dead gorgeous then!? "
If I get sex out of it, then yes. |

"Compliments off a stranger is always a nice thing 4 me personally. It could b off a man or women as long as its heart felt and genuine "
I have had compliments for something like an outfit of a stranger....they have not asked for and I've never seen them again...it felt good.
And..I have also given them.
I think it's particularly nice when it's a woman paying the compliment with no ulterior motive.
Just one woman to another being appreciative. |

There and to the left a bit |
On here, I think most "general" compliments can be taken with a huge pinch of salt - and by "general" I mean those non-personal ones that could be said to anyone and have little meaning but plenty of expectation.
The ones that mean the most are the personal ones, that are heartfelt and come without an agenda or expectation and more importantly are delivered naturally and without forethought (which obviously as the recipient it's not always easy to tell). |

Aka if you have to think too hard about what makes it good then it's bad |

On Fab I really don’t know how best to pay a compliment as a man to a woman because of understandable scepticism or indifference. I try to avoid it in opening messages, and on the forum, for this reason.
In real life the compliment takes place in a real life context with body language, tone of voice, etc all giving the other person positive or negative signals. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad reaction to a compliment in real life, perhaps embarrassment at worse.
Then again in real life I’ve never complimented a complete stranger on their naked body which I guess is commonplace here. |
