Should have got your number...

I met you at the Victor Wooten concert last night. We only talked for a moment, but I am now kicking myself for not getting your number, or at least letting you know how beautiful I thought you were. We talked about tea, you mentioned white, and I mentioned another type. E-mail me at [email]930@nicksmithpublications.com[/email] with the type of tea I mentioned if you care to talk. If not, I totally understand.

With hope…

Love the post, and hope he/she responds, but don't you think a more positive display name would help?

I was sitting here brainstorming for DAYS thinking about what was missing on this board…..now I know…….we need a singles/I Saw You thread running nonstop on this forum!!……brilliant! :roll:

Don't you think beautiful women probably get tired of complete strangers approaching them and telling them how beautiful they are within the first five minutes of conversation?

Tell her she has great taste in shoes or shows or, or that you love her haircut. That way you're complimenting something she had a role in choosing.

We already have one with walkie and paige slobbering all over each other via the board.

actually, when i saw Coldplay in Baltimore there was a girl sitting next to me and she was very beautiful. I was with friends so really wasnt talking to her at all, but before i left, she kinda looked over and i just told her that she was the most beautiful girl i had seen in a very long time. and as we were walking to the car she caught all the way up to us and gave me her number and i actually met up with her a week later….she was 19. haha. oops.
ok, stupid story, but flattery never dies, even if its generic. :)

I was just about to ask…what was she, 18 or something?

Sorry, I was referring to WOMEN. Maybe the cheeseball flattery does work on GIRLS.

I don't think there's anything wrong with telling a woman you think she's beautiful, as long as you're being genuine of course. Although, I think you're taking a chance of being belittled doing it in DC with the majority of them being nasty bitches around here.

There was a woman in the Fresh Fields in Rockville a few months ago and she caught me staring at her, so I said, "I'm sorry for staring, but you have the most beautiful eyes" She thanked me for the compliment and we went our seperate ways. I decided to be honest because that was the reason she caught my eye.

Don't remember what i said to some chick at a concert last year but what ever it was she liked it, she had her tongue down my throat for the rest of the show, of coures i never did get her name……matter of fact i havent seen her since……We need more shows like that.

actually, you snotty little prick. if you actually knew any women besides your grain eating ass kissing bulldyke-lesbian wife, you would know that girls AND women DO like that stuff. or maybe just the snotty assholes you know arent bothered by that petty genuine flattery. not all women need some guy to use a "line" like "nice shoes" come on Rhett, what women are you going to pick up by saying that?!

Wow, I'm not sure if you have to have a thick skin for that not to bother you a little, or a thin skin to let anything sonick says bother you. i'm on the fence on this one.

ha. i think sometimes i just get sick of Rhett being a knowitall prick. and for a moment i got on a typing roll. sorry, redsock, back to my Ben Folds review ;)

I always give a compliment when I notice something that looks especially good – either someone's watch or hair or a great tie or fabulous purse. I think it's awesome to give a warm fuzzy because it's genuine, and they know it – I don't know them, and am just admiring their taste. If you admire it, let 'em know. Makes people feel good.

I don't tend to give those general, "you're so handsome" compliments.

I was never interested in "picking up" women. I always wanted a girlfriend. I suppose if you're looking to get laid by some slut, a cheeseball comment like "You're beautiful" might be a good starting point. Although if she truly is a looker, she's probably heard a stupid line like that a million times, and probably thinks you're just another moron.

I tell my wife she's beautiful practically every day of the year. And yes, she likes it when I tell it to her. But I sure as shit didn't tell her that until I actually got to know her.

right, when i said it, it wasnt even meant to get a response, i just felt as though she might want to know that i thought that. or something. I didnt expect her to chase after me. its like saying "nice car" doesnt mean i want a ride…hehe.

It's what happens, usually with Rhett. After a while, you lose patience and get fed up with his sanctimony. I understand it completely. Now if only I can remember to just not reply to his posts….that's my bad.

did you wait til you were married to have sex too? telling someone they are beaufitul is NOT picking up on them. and only pretentious people take a compliment to mean you are a moron. and if thats the case, then i will tell every girl i see she is beautiful and the ones that roll thier eyes are bitches and i dont wanna talk to them :)

sound good? and rhett, there isnt much more cheeseball than you ,trust me!

How entertaining, watching a bunch of guys speculate about what women like.
I agree with Bags, a compliment is always welcome, unless it's obviously an insincere pick-up attempt.

that was my stance too

"you are beautiful" is not the same as "you are hot" or "nice tits"

apparently Rhett's women like "nice handbag"

That's what I figured, Sonick. Unless you're dense and think people only say something like that to "get laid," you'd get that it was an unconditional compliment from your telling of it.
