Nope, definitely not at work and only in certain situations outside of work.

Something President Trump once said (although about a completely different topic) applies in this situation, “I think there is blame on both sides” of this issue.

- One Side: Skeevy people making inappropriate comments that have no place in a truly civilized society, resulting with the targets of their comments (and others within earshot) feeling uncomfortable or even unsafe (at an extreme).

- Other Side: People who are just looking to; cash-in, or, get retribution, or, be offended...etc. turning things that were meant to be complimentary into something completely different.

If two sides listed above didn’t ruin it for everyone else - yes, you could pay compliments just about anywhere and just about at any time.

Non verbal compliments only. Much harder to prove.



A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Thats no fun at all! The reward is making someones day!

A sincere compliment delivered in a "non creepy" way I am sure can make someones day.


Yeah but the problem is that you aren't the one who gets to determine whether it's creepy - she is. I don't trust them that much.


It's almost always creepy, just don't.

Yes, this. You have to know who you are conversing with. Libs never, they are looking for any reason to damage you because they hate men. They suffer from penis envy. Conservatives, no problem.

Interesting stance. They’ve got the envy.

Yes, you know the kind, they wish they had one. Mad, because they were born without one.

Most women know a compliment when they hear one. They appreciate it.

Infrequently, but yes, I do. I keep it to "That's a really nice dress/outfit," or if they've obviously changed their hair or color and it looks nice I'll tell them.

I hold doors often and frequently get complimented on my manners. My standard reply is, "Thank you, Mama raised me well." Giving another woman credit for your strong suits goes over well.

I wish the elevators in my building had security cameras. I take the stairs a lot because I refuse to get on an elevator alone with a woman. I work for a large employer with deep pockets and just the accusation of impropriety would likely make for a payday for the woman and wreck my career. I guess I'm being paranoid, but I fear there are many women out there looking for that payday and don't care whose life they wreck to get it.

Funny story.... when I was married, my wife and I were alone on a very long elevator ride from our hotel room to the parking garage. We had a little make-out session on the way down. As we passed by an open office door on the way to the car we saw the security guard looking at screens of video footage of the elevators!

honestly, no. I will say hello with a smile or hold a door open, but thats it. Im part of the younger generation and my peers almost always take things the wrong way. I do, however, compliment women i am already friends with because they know its a friendly gesture. Back while in college if i was already in a flirtatious conversation with a girl at a bar or school or something, then yes i would compliment them but thats a little different... last one i complimented like that i am now engaged to.
