Some girls who are beautiful, don't know that they are beautiful and lack confidence in themselves. Sometimes women need to be complimented to feel good about themselves. Because not all beautiful women get complimented plenty of times. Even if a beautiful women already knew she was beautiful, wouldn't that make her vain and diminish her beauty?

Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? Just because you may think someone is beautiful, it doesn't mean the rest of the world feels the same way and in turn, she may have never heard it before.

I'm confident. It still hurts when someone calls you ugly.

The last time a guy called me beautiful (and gorgeous, for that matter) I said thank you and started a conversation. When he tried to slide his hand up the inside of my leg and I told him it was inappropriate and to stop, he then called me a name and told me I was fat anyway and left.

It's usually fairly easy to tell if someone is being genuine or not with their compliments. I find most men are not genuine, especially if they're telling me I'm gorgeous while staring at my boobs. If I'm not sure if he's being genuine, I will normally err on the not-genuine side.

I was talking more along the lines of women that are generally seen as attractive.

I am not a man. But I don't need to verbally express my appreciation of certain things all the time nor do I think that everyone I encounter is unable to read physical cues and/or have low self esteem. I would like assume they're all nice, normal healthy people unless I see evidence otherwise.

Besides, physical beauty is a joke anyway. A girl might be "beautiful" now to a man now but in 20 years is he going to say the same?
