This is a big reason that guys have a hard time with women.

If a man is paying a sincere compliment dedicated to the fact "YOU ARE SEXY"....to you gals, it is a bad thing?

If I tell a woman she is sexy........it is a compliment.

If she got a problem with it...I am happy to walk the hell away.


Its good to realise that a womans experience in the world is different than a mans experience in the world.


Yup yup yup!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yeah, men and women operate on different wave lengths at times and we just gotta deal with it.

Women will cry watching Oprah. Guys cry watching "Saving Private Ryan".

Women want men to be charming, loving and respectful. Men want women to have three boobs.

You want to be called "beautiful". We ain't bright enough to interpret that so it pops out as "Sexy".

Still we manage to love.

I don't exactly trust women I don't know calling me "honey", "hun", or "sugar". For some women though, it is meant as nothing more than a pleasantry. So I just bite my tongue, and let it go.


Guilty as charged .. comes from living in the South for so long.

My vote goes to SteveG01 also; he's got it right for sure. :thumbsup:

BTW, if I'm talking to someone and he calls me sexy, he's either in his 20s or 60 and older. I just laugh it off; it doesn't bother me a bit.

However, it really surprised me how many responses I got here (and many of them included "sexy") when the nekkid feets were my profile pic. Learn something new every day ...

But what if a guy calls you beautiful, smart, AND sexy?

Is that overkill?

What if he is being honest? How will you tell?

Sometimes I think compliments depend on timing and how well you know each other. Personally, I'm not good at handling compliments from strangers or acquaintances. It makes me uncomfortable as I doubt their motives. It's one of those flaws I've been trying to work on over the years.


Women can always tell when a man is lying.

Well, maybe not all women. I can always tell.bigsmile

Well then... call us anyway you guys want it... just love us reeeal true :wink:

Kidding aside... it's the way the label is being delivered really. A man saying I am beautiful or sexy or however it is he finds me... I will appreciate so long as his heart thru his eyes says the same. That's just me though. :heart:

I think the point is keep the compliments sincere. She'll be able to tell if you're not sincere about what you're saying.

laugh Exactly the reason why I'm not comfortable talking to someone wearing sunglasses... coz I try to 'listen' to the man's 'words' thru his eyes.

Sexy is a comment suggesting more familiarity than beautiful. As such, the relationship should be one of more familiarity if the man is calling her sexy. Context can provide exception to the rule. I guess thats where it gets tricky.


That was sexy, beautiful!

When I posted about the "trifecta" of beautiful, smart, and sexy, I was just trying to add a new wrinkle into the conversation.

In reality, I almost never will tell a woman she is sexy unless I already know her. There have been a few rare exceptions. It happens.

I was always taught that when approaching a woman never begin by complimenting a woman on her appearance. The idea being that such comments are a dime-a-dozen and boring. If you want to compliment a woman you just met, find something more personal than looks. Even commenting on eyes and smiles is becoming cliche. Some women like such compliments, some don't. So I'll even hold on those until a time when I know it will have more meaning.

Let's face it, when meeting someone you might be interested in, a compliment - no matter how sincere - is nothing more than an attention-getter. Just like a joke or a pick-up line, it's a segue into conversation. Sometimes, you might hold off on the compliment for later in the conversation, but it still is used to draw attention and to often lead to something else, like a walk, a dance, or even to set up a date.

No offense bro. You were taught wrong.

Ain't nothing boring or a dime a dozen about a well placed, honest compliment. Women LOVE a good compliment!

Think about it....how often do any of us just get a compliment? I don't and I am worthy of compliments.

IF you can casually give an honest compliment..

"Great hair!"

"Pardon me...just had to say that you got great eyes/skin/shoes"

"Love the perfume"

...then smile pleasantly and walk away. Chicks LOVE IT!

The failure comes when a guy gives a compliment and then stands there like a puppy awaiting a response with desperation in thier eyes. THAT is what makes a woman uncomfortable. They ain't obligated to respond and I always walk away after a compliment. When it is done right, they will walk up to you later with a smile on thier face.
