Yes, I can't believe anyone would even need to ask this question.

but it also depends on the mood of the person you approach. if she is having a bad day, one of those where just about everything as gone wrong and she is in a lousy mood, then she might still take a compliment the wrong way, regardless of how its posed. but its even possible to turn that around with a sincere apology, and walking away, she may feel bad enough that she will stop you and apologize to you and explain what her day has been like. then you can help turn her day around.
No, actually the second phrase is even more creepy and just weird. Most women I know would try to ignore the first statement, if they heard the second it is time to reach for the pepper spray.

Well, it's funnier this way:

"If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

Get it? It's an old song.

See, the second phrase would actually crack me up because at least he's trying to be cute and somewhat subtle.

What about simply telling a woman that her legs look extremely smooth, soft, clean shaven, and well moisturized? That way, you're complimenting her efforts more so than her legs.

No, because most of us don't want you to know about our efforts . You're supposed to think that we're effortlessly beautiful.

Why are you trying to have someone validate being creepy? Heck, I wouldn't do this for people I'm friends with, that would also be out of line. I just say, hey, you look great!

My rule: if she isn't my girlfriend, I don't compliment her.

Gag

Somehow, your options are actually getting creepier. Please, just stop.

If you actually think this would be an acceptable choice, you're seriously better off not engaging women in public.
