Yes. If I was female, I’d probably get them more often, but I still get compliments. “I love your hair” is the usual one.

In real life? There's this thinking that unsolicited compliments are sexual harassment now though. It can be both of course, and the debates goes back and forth, but if it's a compliment from a guy I'd think it's a bit ehhh... certainly it's tricky.
As a guy I've gotten some, I think like most guys I don't really know how to respond when it comes from complete stranger.

@Faust76 Sexual harassment? Really???

@SW-User @Faust76 i've heard the term i mentioned, "unwanted sexual advances", bandied about far too many times to risk it now, yes, for me

@SW-User Social media, especially in wake of #MeToo, was full of things like videos of walking through a city recording everything where some thing were actually nice compliments, as well as those things like "I go to library to read books, that doesn't give you a right to talk to me or compliment me!".

Sure, a LOT of the criticism is justified, although some people seem just anti-social, but on the other side you never really know how the recipient will take it. A lot of the time even nice comments aren't without an ulterior motive, of course. But I'm getting sidetracked, good for you if you enjoy it.

As a guy I don't think we need to worry about the implications, and it feels good of course, although we may have to worry about our response.

Yes, I was honestly confused and thrown off. I smiled and said thank you. I was buying water at a gas station on the way home from a long road trip and the woman just stared straight into my eyes and said "you have the most gorgeous eyes I've seen". Honestly made my day.

Such a shame it's too scary now to compliment anyone; "unwanted sexual advances" i think it could be called; the few ive gotten in my life really brightened my day, sad that it's too scary to possibly do the same for someone.....
