If you see a stranger and think they’re attractive, should you tell them?

Think about you, you’ll probably never see this stranger again. Unless you see this stranger often or something.
I’ve done that to both men and women.
Though in a less direct manner…
I would compliment what they’re wearing or their nice hairstyle, or their smile.

I wouldn’t want to put them in an awkward position, so I would usually just say it and walk away.

@CookieCrumbs I don't even say anything. I just shmile and keep walking.
@SW-User
I won’t walk up to them to say it.
Only if they are within accessible
proximity… and if we are both aware of each other’s presence jn that area.

Usually it would be places like coffeeshops, hotel lobbies, or grocery stores. Quick compliment, smile and bye.

@CookieCrumbs Here its not considered proper to talk to strangers, especially ladies if you are a male. Its equivalent to eve teasing!
I would sometimes make an admiring look and pass on.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I have done that. 😏 A man keep turning around looking at me. So I said you know you are handsome.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@SweetMae Yes! It can make someone day and even a new friendship!
SW-User
I might look at them and smile, but that's it.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@SW-User Awww it’s okay, admire from a distance but don’t be creepy🤭

I’m not sure if it should be a thing because attractive people kind of already have an idea they’re appealing, but it doesn’t stop me from letting them know they’re doing the whole owning attractiveness thing right…most times without saying a single word.


I’m kidding of course. I just wink with both eyes and high-five them with a random “Tuesday. Amirite?”
SW-User
[c=004A59]Occasionally, I'll compliment another woman on her jewelry or a coat or shoes when I'm out shopping. Other women frequently do the same to me.

I never see any attractive men around here. If I did, I doubt I'd say anything to them. It doesn't feel right to me to approach a strange man.[/c]
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@SW-User Yeah I understand, but I see it as making someone day better
SW-User
@ImRileyTheDog [c=004A59]I'm very wary of men. Too many bad life experiences.[/c]

For me, it would depend on the situation, not at work, not as a come on. If I see someone who is attractive, I say that they look nice or comment on clothing. A compliment is okay. I try not to linger after the comment, just say it and walk away.
GunFinger · F
I don't have the courage to tell them. I just bite my lip and play with my hair.🤤
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@GunFinger Hehe that will send the right message🙈🙊
GunFinger · F
@ImRileyTheDog I never have any intentions. I act weird towards cute people. Lol
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@GunFinger Honestly me too. I act different around attractive people or someone I find interesting for some reason.
I do

Just my nature

I figure that "appreciated beauty" is joy and joy is good

And if I say nothing, it is a sin
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
Doing it right is the important part

NEVER compliment and wait around for a response

Share and get back to what you were doing
Only if they're wearing a ring and their SO is next to them

Been punched straight on the face for that...so yeah...

I generally spread the sunshine and tell them they’re sexy or attractive or whatever. No wonder they look at me like I’m creepy. 😀
SW-User
I've had strangers do that to me didn't bother me at all. I'm not bashful so yes I would tell them.
SW-User
I don't talk to strangers.

A lot of strange people. But not strangers.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
An appropriate smile goes a long way
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@BackyardShaman I think a compliment can go longer
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
For sure, I’m thinking it depends on the situation and time.@ImRileyTheDog
That is the hardest part about strangers.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
I've done that.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@sarabee1995 Me too and received it
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
No, you should stare them down and rub your nipples. Telling them is far too direct. You don't want to scare them off, subtlety is key here
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
I have complimented gorgeous guys and beautiful women and I have received many compliments,accepting then with a polite thank you.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
No, I wouldn't. I'm not too keen on talking to strangers, attractive or not.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@Rutterman But everyone is a stranger till you get to know them
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@ImRileyTheDog True enough, but I prefer to be around someone for a while before I attempt to get to know them.
I’m not the type to do that. Well it probably depends on the place and time.
No, let bygones be bygones.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@DropTopDig But you can make up their day
@ImRileyTheDog You think I'd make your day with a compliment? You'd probably lyao at me.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@DropTopDig It’s happened to me on multiple occasions and makes me smile
SW-User
Only if you're of a comparable level of attractiveness, or else it's weird.
cycleman · 61-69, M
I have done it a few times as I cycled past her. Never saw her reaction. ☺️
Adamski24 · 41-45, M
Yes, it could make a bad day better
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@Adamski24 Exactly my thought
HannahSky · F
@ImRileyTheDog seems a little random lol
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@HannahSky Yeah it can

Just be like “I just gotta say this or tell you this, you’re a very attractive or good looking man”

Then they say thanks, maybe a little convo, and carry on with each of your days
HannahSky · F
@ImRileyTheDog lol ok I'll be on the lookout
No, I notice and then avoid them.
I'd b 2 embarrassed 😚

Probably wouldn't go well but I've never been guilty of making smart decisions
SW-User
@ImRileyTheDog of course 😂
I mean, who could imagine me saying anything inappropriate? 😏


Yeah I'll give them a quick history lesson while I'm trying to flirt with them 😂😂
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@SW-User You watch your mouth sir🤭


You know chicks love American history 😂
SW-User
@ImRileyTheDog I'm a saint 😇 I would never say anything even slightly inappropriate 😏
