You know, things like "You look lovely today," "You've done a great job," or "You look like a dude who can lift two oxen."
Nowadays, it appears that everyone complicates everything.
People don't consider before they speak, thus their praises are overly elaborate for their own benefit.
Interestingly, women on Reddit have begun to discuss all of the dumb things males have recently said to them.
These individuals felt they were providing compliments, but they were unaware that what they were saying was hurtful rather than flattering.
1.
I don't appreciate males appreciating me by putting other ladies down.
I work in a male-dominated sector, and many guys appear to believe it's a compliment to remark "Most women couldn't do this" or "Wow, you drink beer, I'm glad you're not a fruity drink girl!"
Women may enjoy whatever they want without altering their personality, and the greatest way to compliment someone is to compliment them rather than criticize others.

Probably the most horrible would be something like "I can't wait until you're legal".

I was eight months pregnant when I went to a flea market in Florida.
I passed by a guy with my ex, and he glanced at us and exclaimed, "Both white, done right," "keeping the white breed alive," and "beautiful."
My ex instantly said, "Oh, I'm not the father; he's black." The confident expression on the dude's face.

Basically, anything that ends with "for a woman".

I wasn't aware he was behind me until I heard him near to my ear.
"You smell so good I could kidnap you."
The tone chilled my blood. He was a truck driver and as ancient as dirt.
I'm hoping he drove off a cliff into a freezing lake.

When I was 14, I was sitting at a bus stop when a man came down next to me and said, "You know, I'm 68 now, but I'm still into young pretty girls like you".
I took off instantly after making the hair on the back of my neck rise up.
Since then, I've never thought of an old man as merely a cute grandfather.

I will absolutely never forget it:
"You're not the typical attractive female. But you're still lovely. Which is much better."
I sprained myself while sprinting.

He hoped he could combine my head with my closest friend's body.
I'm more conventionally gorgeous, but she's little, whilst I'm larger, like my powerful fishing ancestors lol.
The dude truly believed he was complimenting us both. 🤣.

I'm not a woman, and this did not happen to me, but I observed it. For a few songs, a guy and a female are ripping it up on the dance floor.
After they were finished, he added, "You don't sweat much for a fat burd." That phrase has stuck with me for the better part of fifteen years.
I'm still taken aback when I think about it.

In my defense, I was attempting to flirt with her, okay haha.
I once told my crush while we were flirting that "I feel like I lose a braincell talking to you," but what I meant was that I can be myself around her and I'm usually pretty smart, but when I talk to her, I don't think things through and just go for it, but my brain was like f**k it, we ball with that sentence lol."

I notice you're drinking 1%. Is this because you believe you're fat?
Because you are not. You could drink the whole thing if you wanted to.
