The best compliment you ever received from a member of the opposite sex

The topic of compliments came up on The Spin the other day, and I remember Gordon Hayden saying that when a man compliments a woman it can often get thrown back in his face. Like if a man says, "you're looking well, have you lost weight?" She might interpret that as, "was I fat before?" Or telling a girl you've just met in a club she has lovely eyes might sound a bit cheesy/OTT. It can be a bit of a minefield at times. It's probably best to keep it subtle, at least in the early stages anyway.

I dunno what type of deformed wangs most of you guys must have, cos I've been told by several different women that mine should be used as a dildo model. Not huge, just "perfect" like the "goldicocks" episode of sex and the city, "very beautiful" etc..... I mean, how could one be "beautiful" ffs ???

em, yeah, that actually sounds like some mad PUA thing. A good compliment shouldn't ever have a question mark.

My mother told me that when she was pregnant she made some remark to my Dad's friend about her clothes getting tighter. He said "you're grand, you don''t look pregnant; you just look like a fat girl."

Once I was told I have 'blowjob eyes'.

I didn't understand so he explained that they'd be great eyes to be looking down at when the aforementioned act was happening.

I was pretty happy with that one.

My bf says I have' blowjob lips,' because I have very full lips. :pac:

I gotta be honest Davey, I can see how a girl would cringe and be turned off hearing the above coming from a guy with a cheesy head on him like this -





Actually, yeah, I think any girl would be creeped out even if it was Brad Pitt himself came over and started giving it welly with the beautiful eyes cheesy guff

Well those were extreme examples. But even some of the simple compliments can get thrown back in your face. I actually find the Polish women respond well to the beautiful eyes line. Although it helps if you say it in their language.

Just goes to show how subjective these things are. If I saw "Orange Glow" beside my name I'd think I needed to change my makeup.

I don't wear makeup, so that's ruled out, but I took it as something that made perfect sense in his dear poetic head.

Four days after giving birth, I was sitting in a little side-room in Holles St feeding my baby. We were going home that day, so I'd been kicked out of my bed. I was wearing jeans and a tshirt (after being in PJs for the last few days) and had put on a bit of make-up.

There was a father in the same room feeding his baby, and we were chatting away, small talk about the two babies, what's the baby's name, how old is he, etc. Then he asked, "Is he your first ... nephew, is it?"

I said, "No, he's my son!" and your man seemed honestly shocked that I'd just had a baby. Said that I looked absolutely great for someone who's just given birth.

That all sounds a bit sleazy. But it really wasn't! It's not like he was chatting me up or anything ... I got the impression his wife was having a tough time, so maybe he was surprised at how OK I was. And in fairness my belly did (for the most part) go away pretty quickly.

And I think that if there's ever a time in your life that you could do with bit of a confidence boost, it's after having a baby. So I seriously appreciated it!

I remember I was living quite close to Whelans in Dublin when I lived in Ireland for a while before moving here and was coming out of said pub and a fella outside told me I'd nice eyes as I was walking out to go home. I must've been fairly desperate/stocious that night but I brought him home with me. "You had me at 'nice'", I said to him.

Might be cheesy Davey but you just never know how desperate or baloobas the lovely lady is! Always worth a shot!

When I was about 17 I was told I looked like Caprice. At the time I was chuffed as she was very popular and at the height of her modelling career. Not so sure I'd feel the same way if someone said it to me now!
