Do you pay compliments to people?

i sometimes pay compliments. but not always. I have seen at times people do not take it in nice way.so i refrain.

We can do nothing for such kind of person. Not everyone in this world is just like her. So don't get too disappointed with that incident. May be that lady was just so insecure with herself and she doesn't know how to handle compliment, maybe it was her first time being noticed by others. So continue paying compliment on others whenever you feel so. But me personally I usually don't pay compliment on others co'z it's just not my habit.

Your wife has nothing to feel ashamed for. She was being polite. That says a lot of good things about her. The other woman was just being rude.

Why would she feel offended? I think it very nice to compliment someone. I think that situation could be just a rarity and not the norm. Most are gracious and mannery enough not to jump up with some nasty remark. I hope that was just a rare situation and not how alot of people would respond to a well intentioned compliment.

if the person is close to me and within the family person or atleast if i know that person i would really appreciate and give a comment on the dress and it is not any comment and i would give only positive comment. and i think it will be fine to do that but never i cant tell this or comment to any of the stranger. if i dont know the person i would never comment her as i myself will not like it. i have never commented to strangers and would never do that. if i like the dress of a stranger too i would just see and keep quite and i will not comment it as i dont know her.

Yeah sometimes people take misinterpret it instead of saying thank you for the compliment. Some think your bluffing lol but if someone says a compliment regarding my dress i always say thank you and smile at them. I think any good words from other people is nice and we should not misinterpret it.Unless you can tell by just looking at the person if he/she is sincere or not.

Oh several times! But not in the appreciation of their physical beauty ! I always pay compliments to any one achieving any good thing in their life.Then small may be the achieve ment be ! I think this acts as a tonic and I have seen people work more happily for you! I normally never forget to pass a compliment to my workers who anticipate it! It is very natural that every body like to get an appreciation.If it is from higher ups then their happyness knows no bounds.Its always a pleasant experience to pamper the ego of others in the form of an appropriate compliment at an appropriate moment! A small compliment from you can change some ones life! But then I think we must compliment sincerely and from the bottom of our hearts to make this difference! Formally made compliments are always be caught and they become routine and people normally would not pay any attentions to such compliments! Thanks ! This was indeed a nice topic of discussion intiated and I liked in participating in it!

I don't know why some people take things the wrong way when all you're doing is paying a nice compliment. I tell friends and family and even strangers how nice they look and most of them accept it and have a huge smile on their face. I've been complimented too and it's nice when others notice and say so :) I would of been annoyed at that collegues response. I won't be saying anything nice about her dress ever again if that's the way she's going to react. Sounds like she lacks confidence in herself. Sad!

I believe being complemented is always welcome to woman without emotional problem. If you see me and complemented me with the dress I was wearing for the day then I'd thank you wholeheartedly and mark that dress of mine and would wear it more often because it becomes me. I don't find anything wrong with being complemented. It delights and elates me actually. Regarding your wife's experience with her colleague's wife... I believe she is emotionally disturbed. I pity that woman! I believe your wife had nothing but kind and sincere appreciation and yet that woman reacted negatively! She is definitely a very insecure and unhappy woman. Her husband must not be giving her enough attention and admiration, or maybe she was dying of enviousness over your wife's beauty and grace. Poor woman!

yeah.. i always like complimenting other people most especially if they look smart and attractive..i feel happy when i make them smile...

Yah ofcourse i strictly pay attention towards who are good to every human being. but not only for them for all some times . when i have benefited from others then i respect them and wish them . and coming to compliments its more ..

as for me i will usually compliment someone who looks nice or has done something wonderful and it is natural to do so because if i like something i have the leisure of expressing it and it will too motivate that person and the percentage of those who will be embarrassed by the compliments is far less and maybe they do it because they are really grief sticken or having some other troubles. everyone likes to be appreciated but it should be not for purpose and for in other words flattery.

I never compliment people if they r unknown to me. Will ofcourse do if they happen to be my friends. Some people will behave really weird or not respond properly. I've never wanted to get embarassed. Will play safe. Moreover feel it's beyond our dignity,don't know y I feel so :D So I generally don't pay compliments to strangers :)

That colleague's wife was a cow! You never know what to think with women nowadays, so compliment them and run! I'm kidding, that's just life, just because someone isn't smiling doesn't mean you shouldn't smile! Just keep complimenting, if they're rude to you they are committing a sin unto themselves! I find nothing more flattering than someone complimenting you're style!

People who are offended if you pay them a compliment have their own troubles and nothing to do with you so I would not let it stop you. I always compliment people because i think its nice and it brightens someones day to know they have been noticed :) do it as often as you feel it is good to spread happiness. there is too much negative energy in this world and we need to spread positive and pleasant thoughts and wishes :)so go for it next time you see someone who looks nice tell them and even if for some reason they are offended just smile apologize and move on do not let it stop you :)
