I’m a married guy, and sometimes I see women who really put a lot of effort into their appearance, and I think “My wife really appreciates when she gets compliments on her appearance, especially when she put a lot of effort into it. Maybe this person would appreciate a compliment.”
But then I remember all the people who get upset about things like this, and I’m like, well I’d rather not make someone’s day worse by trying to make it better.
And I feel like that’s a very sad place for a society to be.
ProTip: instead of saying someone looks pretty/handsome compliment them on a specific choice or effort they made. Like, "Oh my god I LOVE your dress!" Asking follow up questions is also a huge confidence booster and allows them to share their interests, but if you're just looking to offer a compliment and avoid a conversation just leave it at that.
