Amen. Be careful what you say & to whom you say it. Heck, if you accidentally brush up against some women you better hope that she shout that you're trying to grope her.

I accidentally touched a woman's breasts with the back of my hand, once. I mean, I didn't even know that he was behind me. I was putting something up and then my hand came down and "plop."



Imagine the horrified look on my face when I saw that my hand was right on that woman's chest.

Luckily, nothing came of that.

Um....If you would look at the responses from the women in this thread and look up that thread I linked to you earlier you would see that your opinion does not reflect on all women.

There is a difference between calling someone beautiful without hitting on them and hitting on someone noticeably.

IMO, people with low self-esteem who need attention and flattery from others end up making lousy choices in life based on pleasing others. They give control of their self-worth over to people who don't don't have their best interests in mind and take advantage of their low self-esteem. They will equate any attention as a good thing, whether it's positive or negative attention. They will only feel good if theyr'e getting reinforcement, and will feel bad or down on themselves without it. It's not a healthy way to live life, tying your emotional wellbeing to others.

I think you are jumping to conclusions. A person with good self esteem won't be offended if someone calls them beautiful or what not. A person with good self esteem does not take something like that out of context and looks a the situation and timing. It it compliment on looks that's is all. You make valid points but it comes off as kind of left field with the topic at hand.

I kinda agree with Liberty though. Yes it's nice for people to compliment others once in a while. Nothing wrong with that. But when someone is asking for or fishing for compliments then it's an issue and it's kind of needy and histrionic. I think the average Joe or Jane doesn't go around in life asking for someone to tell them how handsome they are or how pretty they are.
