    I sometimes get a massage (no funny business). Its been the same girl the last few months.

    At the weekend we were talking about halloween and I slaged her off about the amount of make up she was wearing that day that it was like Halloween – lots of eye shadow. She went very quiet. I apologised and she said it was cool, but by the tone of her voice while she seemed to appreciate the apology it wasn't cool.

    Do I leave it or are a box of roses and a card in order?

    How about leaving it as it is... anyone more effort on your part might just seem freaky, or a bit stalkerish to her

    Women are very sensitive about anything to do in the body/looks dept.I told a (beautiful) girl today to take off her halloween mask and got the 'LOOK' :eek:, it's a good thing i know her well :D

    Rule 1: Don't comment on a girls appearance unless your giving her a compliment.
    There is no rule 2 ;)

    Biko speaks the truth! I was told today by a co-worker that I don't look as good as some chick who was in her 40's, and that there's no hope for me!! He got the "look" and the silent treatment.

    I'd go back just to apologise. She will act like it never bothered her, but she'll be chuffed on the inside. :)

    Next time you see her just say sorry again about the other day, was not meant as anything other than something that you thought was funny. And leave it at that. Cards? Chocolates? Erm, no. No way.

    But everyone loves chocolates! Nah seriously just a small apology will do, as others have said anything more than that could be incredibly misconstrued.

    Stand your ground to be honest. If she wears too much make up then she should know about it. It's a nasty job, but someone has got to keep it under control.

    Am woman (hear me roar) anyway
    Dont mention it again but....

    Next time you see her say 'you look good. Did you get your hair cut?'
    Something to put her in good form but do it casually ie not as soon as you see her. Wait say ten, fifteen min later. Then give good tip at end, say five euro. Say thanks for good converstation.
    Yes I am smooth.

    No, you're not at all smooth. Or smooth in a dirty old man behind trench coat smooth.:eek:

    Who the f8ck in all honesty speaks to their masseuse? Apologise before massage next time and keep your mouth shut.

    Anyone who has gotten massage/nails/hair speaks to the person giving you service its only manners.

    Not necessarily sweetheart, if having a 90-minute massage for example the onus is not on a person to spout incessant sh1te to ease their discomfort. You obviously don't go for treatments darling. Or if you do I'm surprised you've been allowed back. I don't know many of my therapists who "ten or fifteen minutes later" would feel entirely comfortable with me or any of their clients asking them if they had had their hair cut (bearing in mind for most massages the therapist starts with the back and the client is face down).

    ROFL


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭LouOB


    Ok, you are entitled you your opinion and so am I.

    But you dont have to be so defensive and sarcastic. Its not nice calling names (dirty old man) and patrionising people (obvioulsy dont go for treatments darling).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭LouOB


    Oh apologies to all was not looking to get into fight re topic only looking to help out physccbob from awkward situation


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    best thing is next time, just say you didnt mean to offend. dont say sorry again. just leave it at that.

    no chocolates
    no smarmy lines
    no crap.

    if you gave her chocolates it would be taken that you like her more than a client and that you want more.

    smarmy lines = smarmy lines girls dont like them

    crap is crap and its pointless

    Id say leave it, just be normal with her. Anything you do about it now makes it into a bigger issue. She may not have liked what you said, but I doubt shes lost sleep over it. If she was a close friend thats one thing, but shes not, so chocolates etc are likely to be misconstrued.

    Honestly what were u thinking when u started slagging the poor girl off? :eek: i would forget about it and stop making a bones out of it, just act like nothing ever happened, Dont act awkward or any different and defo leave a nice juicy tip next time ;) . and a piece of advice,unless your dating the girl more then a year dont ever ever ever comment on a womans appearance unless you have a compliment to pay :cool:. Bet she will be wearing less make-up the next time u see her!!! :D
