Compliments shouldn't be boxed into 'well I can only say them when this happens' imo.
If you are impressed by something, say something. Everyone loves getting a compliment
Edit: although yeah keep the beautiful comments between mates haha. No judgements, I've given "gay" compliments to my best buds to hype them up
lol, well ... let me clarify the "beautiful" comment ...
so a coworker won "Most Attractive Employee" or something like that, yes it's a weird company party. Anyways, the next morning I was using it pseudo-sarcastically in front of everyone by calling him a beautiful person in front of everyone. However, my other coworker thought I was talking about him and said "thank you". However, it made him smile and I just started doing it all the time to my fellow coworkers. I definitely consider them all mates.
What's funny is that I actually don't compliment my female coworkers the same way. I feel as though it could be misconstrued and I'd not like that.
Nah bro. I feel you. Honestly, I don't find that weird at all.
That second guy smiling cause he was called beautiful is exactly what im talking about. Would he have liked to be called that by a chick? Almost definitely. But dudes are so starved of compliments that it coming from anyone is just nice.
But yeah the whole wont do the same to women is completely valid. I'm the same way. I'll only compliment them if theyre wearing something extravagant and are specifically looking to get complimented.
But women get compliments all the time that are actually advances on them, so I try to limit them so I don't seem like a creep. Dudes though? We all want to be lifted up so I hand em out freely.
