How often do you get complimented by the opposite sex...preferably from a random person? What often do you get complimented about? And, do you think how often one get complimented is a sign of how physically attractive they are?

Also, do you tend to get stared at by a random person of the opposite sex frequently when you're out in public?

I get Cute and Handsome when I go out occasionally. Both are safe compliments in my opinion. I think its odd though, considering I'm too old to be cute, and Handsome is something your mom says to you.

From random people I don't know, I get nice smile, I like your clothes, and that I smell good. I don't get compliments like I look good or whatever unless they know me.

I am usually told that I have a purty smile.

Call me oblivious but I don't notice if randoms stare at me. I am one of 'those' women who is focused on getting done.

Um, only very occasionally. I think....maybe three times now? Only counting my contemporaries of course. Chinese aunties who go "aiiyyooo....so hansum you ahhhh ...." don't count.

Oh forgot to specify what they noticed, one time I got noticed for my hat, and the other two I can't remember what I got noticed for, since it was over four years ago, but I think it had something to do with features as well.

It seems the only time I'm complimented by the opposite sex is if there's alcohol in their system, meaning at clubs/lounges/bars or parties/events. It's really rare that a man approaches me during my daily routine to compliment me.

The compliments tend to gravitate around my whole appearance, meaning my height, figure and attire.

I'm undecided on this, but leaning towards yes.

I sometimes feel like men are watching me, but I contribute it to my height.

I mostly get compliments from other ladies, telling me I'm beautiful, have a lovely figure, or complimenting my clothes. And I get stared at a lot by both sexes, but I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm unexpectedly tall.

When the opposite sex compliments me, I generally hear it secondhand from a friend.

Usually when wearing a tie and jacket. On the weekends, never - jeans and t-shirt, I meld in with the rest of the crowd.
I could care less what they think, I only care about what my wife thinks.

Occassionally, and is usually when wearing the tie and jacket and my hair has been shorn by the barbers clippers.

I get compliments every now and then and they're usually about my smile or my hair. If someone is staring at me, I rarely notice.

I always feel like someone is watching me - who can it be? When you come home at night, do you lock the door real tight?

Have you been listening or talking with Weird Al lately?
