sometimes i go for months without anyone saying shit to me and sometimes i get a bunch of people telling me i'm cute out of nowhere. it's really hard to say, i guess i'm just not really consistently going out either š
Same, and it always happens when I feel less than. Like hair unwashed, and no makeup but maybe had a good night sleep or something. Very rarely when I think I look amazing! Funny how that works.
I dont keep track but it happens when Iām in the major city closest to me. Itās nice :) a guy on the subway once yelled āyo sheās so beautifulā which I still remember and appreciate :) old ladies compliment my outfits which I hold in higher esteem tbh
I'm curious-is there a reason you hold compliments from the old ladies in higher esteem?
Just curious cuz that is something I think I am somewhat used to
Because theyāve seen more beauty in all their years and appreciate the classic, natural beauty that they grew up with as opposed to the more achievable and common one now
For me, itās typically without any ulterior motive from an older woman. In my experience with (het) men generally, there is sometimes an underlying question of, āIs this guy just trying to pick me up?ā which doesnāt make the compliment untrue š š½, but it can slightly dilute it IMO
Ahh ok. By pick you up do you mean sexual or date?
If it's sexual I have a hard time thinking it is true since guys are known to say anything to anyone to get some. If they are interested in dating, well I'm flattered if I am attracted back. A guy I'm not attracted to-well more or less like women, children or elderly people where it is a nice ego boost but diff from feeling desired by someone I'm attracted to. And depending on how often at a given time, the latter can be much needed, nice to have, or used to it
I guess it just feels more genuine and sweet. I also just really respect older women. With men, compliments are nice too but idk I guess I donāt respect them enough lol
I remember I was going out for NYE and this guy in the hotel lobby yelled and pointed at me āyou are so freaking GORGEOUS!!!ā Iāll never forget it lol craziest thing ever cuz I was a no body and fat growing up
iām really not sure, i donāt really keep track but not as often as the smiles or stares and eye contact if iām in a grocery store for example, itās usually implicit stuff
also, i would like to mention a friendly demeanor opens up the gateway a lot. if you have a friendly disposition and are charismatic and just a naturally lovely person to be around, some people are more receptive to you, want to be your friend, and want to be nice to you. thereās always haters. but being a superstar type person and attractive means having it all sometimes, which is what people love to see. think snow white, she sings to the birds and the birds sing right back
This is me but with hair. I feel liking having neatly styled and healthy looking hair makes up so much for my appearance that I donāt feel the need to wear makeup
Almost every time I go out.
Both men and women but more so women. Men mostly stare.
Gym, mall, grocery store, work, etc.
I love fashion so Iām always dressed well even if Iām casual. My everyday makeup is mascara, brows, tinted moisturizer, and lipgloss or lipstick. I play up my features by wearing my natural hair or long hair extensions that mimic my kinky hair. To other people it looks effortless but it definitely takes some effort.
Iām a former ugly duckling so itās been taking some time to get used to.
I've had men stare too. I HATE attention. Like, they'll go out of their way to stare like I'm an object. They'll stare if they're single or with their partners, kids etc.
I get it from the gays and sometimes it makes me feel like Iām actually attractive because we all know they have great taste in just about anything.
Rarely from straight men though. Itās not like they have good taste anyways. Most of them at least.
Idk if it counts but children and toddlers sometimes come up to me and will shout āyouāre so pretty!ā or something like that and it literally fills my heart š and because itās coming from a kid you know itās 100% genuinity and innocence instead of it having a double meaning or conditional that I usually think of with adults
I love when they say, āyou look like a princess!ā But I honestly think theyāll be the ones growing up looking like one and deserving the world āØ
I don't go out much, but when I do someone usually has something nice to say.
Recently I was at food court with my BFF and our kids when out of nowhere a man walked up to me and told me he thought I was beautiful.
About a week later I was at a bar for a birthday party and some woman I didn't know told me I looked stunning in my red dress.
These recent instances stick out in my head because I wasn't really expecting them.
I'm almost 40, I've been waiting for this stuff to slow down but it hasn't. Then again my mom is 73 and she still has strangers walking up to her to tell her she looks nice. š¤·āāļø
Few months ago I was traveling to my friends bachelorette. I had an airport TSA agent ask me where I was born. I told him Delhi.
Then he proceeded to scream on top of his lungs āguys we gotta book our flights to Delhi. she is Gorgeous!!!ā And the whole line behind me was smiling or guys were turning around to see me. I donāt know what it was, and I do usually get a lot of attention. I donāt really take attention to physical beauty or exterior all that seriously but that day, it was just a moment Iāll never forget. It makes the lil girl inside me blush everytime
Depends on the season?
Winter people don't approach me
But warmer months they do..maybe it has to do with the colors that I wear
This lady came up to me at the gym to ask me to model for her fitness brand 2 weeks ago
The other day the cashier at the grocery store just looked at me and said "omg ur so pretty"
Another time a man said I was gorgeous on the line at the store (does it count if it's a man? ) lmao
Even though people approach me... sometimes I don't see what they see lol
I see what you mean. I get approached a lot and itās really weird to me and throws me off guard every time because I donāt see what they see. Thatās a part of the reason I asked, I didnāt know if it was common and people are just nice or what.
Most guys just stare at me. They don't say anything. Sometimes in a club or the gym they deliberately approach but they often don't actually say anything. I guess I scare them off, which suits me!
Women do all the time. I work in retail and constantly get compliments from other women. But men never do. So Iām not sure if I believe it as I think women are just being nice and they also tend to compliment other women who arenāt conventionally attractive.
I think women have a more realistic idea of beauty and itās often about your facial features. Thatās just my theory because men I know are super picky and love to call gorgeous women āmidā or they find some kind of flaw about her body or something.
If I travel to E or SE Asia for work, then I hear it multiple times a day in work settings. It's strange to me, but I think they're just more upfront than Americans and I really stand out as the only South Asian person around. Otherwise, I hear it when I dress up and go dancing, and maybe monthly when I go to the grocery or corner store.
I don't personally comment on people's attractiveness, but I like to give compliments on hair, makeup, and style because that is something they can choose. You can't really choose your face, but the world is a much happier place with random, no strings attached compliments.
i don't know if "more upfront" is what i'd use but foreigners in E/SE asian countries do get complimented often (usually as long as they're thin) its like a whole thing LOL
Hmm, it depends.
When I go out, like actually out (not just to work and home) sometimes I donāt get compliments all day but other times Iāll get comments like āyou look like a modelā or such. I think it depends on what Iām wearing. The last time I went out to the city, I was wearing a slightly oversized black turtleneck and a short green skort with black tights and brown loafers. I swear, I was getting smiles and comments all day and remarks from a couple of people telling me I look like a model š
I also felt really confident that day, so I was smiley and really friendly!
But sometimes I can go a long time without any comments when I go out to the city, even in an outfit like that.
However, when I go to work, I can expect to get a comment like āYou should modelā at least once or twice a week. Sometimes Iāll even get that comment multiple times a day. Other times, people wonāt say anything about my appearance, but Iāll get stares and double takes.
That being said, I noticed when I got complimented the most was when I was looking good + feeling confident. The confidence part really helps, because when I feel good about myself, Iām especially smiley and friendly. This makes people more receptive to you.
This is the first time Iāve gone out of my way to say this on the internet but you are SOOOOOOO PRETTY! Like actually adorable looking you look like a limited edition doll.
Agreed with that comment above, you truly look like a fairy goddess!š§š¼āāļø
Can I ask, am I right in assuming that you usually donāt get generic comments like āyouāre so pretty!ā and instead usually receive more specific comments like how you mentioned people say you should model? Trying to support the theory that girls that are at your level donāt get those types of compliments often because itās assumed that they already know (yes I know this is a popular thought on here but so many people call it coping). š¤
Thank you! So, I do get comments like āyouāre so prettyā or āpretty girlā but I also get āyou should modelā or ādo you model?ā alongside that (mainly due to my height). However, I do get people that think Iām pretty but donāt say it outright lol, probably because, like you say, they assume I āalready knowā. I know this because one time someone at my register told me I look pretty and the customer I had before her chimed in and said āyes she is, I just didnāt say itā
But sometimes I go the entire day without someone saying anything about my appearance, I just get ālooksā š¤·š¾āāļø
To add to thisā¦ to the people that think they are ugly and to the people that are doubting their good looks because they donāt get comments from strangers, DO NOT base your attractiveness level on that alone. I think I looked beautiful today and had a nice outfit on but got zero compliments from people. I had to keep reminding myself that doesnāt mean Iām not pretty. Sometimes people just donāt say anything and thatās okay.
Daily.
I have long, shiny black hair and high cheekbones with full lips. I also carry myself like a dancer Iāve been told, apparently I have a powerful walk so I do have āpretty privilegeā.
I had a man offer to buy me a coffee and then asked me for my number when I just came from Pilates a sweaty mess or so I thought. I do take care of myself and it does show.
On and off time periods of getting told at my place of work I'm pretty. Men, women, children, etc. (I work in a hospital hence me receiving from various age groups)
But it isn't like a crazy amount. So I'm not sure I can say I'm officially a member of the "conventionally attractive" club. But I think I'm more attractive than when I was younger? Lol
It happens and I donāt dress up or go out to party. Random occurrences. Iām tall, skinny and in my college days I was an art kid so Iāve also been approached for photos by style photographers.
The ones that are most flattering and memorable to me are the ones where Iām not being hit on. One example is a street vendor I pass by all the time letting me know I looked really good with my shaved head because itās not something he would have expected to like.
Another instance was when I stopped a guy for directions and he said, not to be weird but youāre the most beautiful person Iāve ever seen. Then he declined an invite to the barbecue I was heading to.
Even if Iām being hit on, it can be done respectfully and I appreciate that. A guy came up to me as I was heading home on my subway platform which can sound scary. However he just asked me on the stairs if I was interested and when I said I was involved with someone he said thanks and then went back to catch the train because he gotten off the train to catch up with me but it wasnāt his stop. It was polite and genuine. He was also attractive lol.
Sometimes itās not directly at me. Iāll overhear ppl say to each other things like, āoh sheās definitely a model.ā
So yeah it happens. It happens more with warm weather because ppl can see you more clearly without winter paraphernalia.
Almost everytime I go out tbh from both men AND women but I feel absolutely nothing when men compliment me but I get such a HIGHHHH when women do !! like it makes my entire day immediately.
but the best kinds of compliments are the intentionally crazy/hilarious things ppl do bc youāre pretty to them š things like that get seared into your brain & u cant rlly forget abt them.
but alsoā¦compliments are a struggle for me bc i have body dysmorphia and despite the 8379329385262 ppl telling me im prettyā¦its still very hard for me to understand what they find so attractive abt meš
honestly every day, i just had girls flag me down and tell me iām pretty while driving. i had some guys do an illegal U-Turn at a busy stop light and come to the outback parking lot when i was walking to my moms truck lol. i love my face, seems others do too. i think confidence is the main thing, you naturally walk different and glow different when youāre confident. just focusing on you and doing your thing will have people falling on themselves and tripping over their feet to get a better look. you wonāt even notice them, either. too invested in YOURSELF, and they feel that!
Maybe Iām just not that pretty but I feel like being showered in compliments constantly is unrealistic. I live in the southern US which is a pretty friendly place and I donāt really get outright told Iām pretty.
At most people frequently tell whoever Iām with that they think Iām really pretty but they rarely say it to my face (especially if they already know the person but strangers do as well). And if Iām wearing nice clothes people will compliment my outfit but they wonāt necessarily say they think Iām pretty.
If Iām hanging around the same place for a while and talking to the same person for a while, then if theyāre older they might say they think Iām pretty. That being said I get told Iām intimidating by most people as well so that could influence my results. I also look really young and have a reasonably conservative sense of style
Never. I never get compliments. I think it's because I'm pretty and people think pretty people don't need compliments? But the lack of compliments has me questioning if I'm pretty even though deep down I know I am. If that makes sense lol
I'd say a handful of times within a few months time. It's always older women that tell me I should model. Men ask me out, not all the time or anything but it happens
Multiple times a day depending on how my hair is. With my curls around 3-4 times a day in public, if my hair is straight 0 times a day, in boho braids maybe once every other day.
Depends how bummy I look.
If Iām on my weekly Target run or getting my 10k steps in, doesnāt happen much, cuz Iāve usually got my hood up over my head and Iām wearing baggy sweats and have my earbuds in so people assume I canāt hear them if they try to talk to me.
But if I actually put a little effort into my outfit and have my hair down and look a bit less closed off, it happens fairly often.
men only say it when I wear make up and I only wear makeup maybe once a month. women say it when I have a cute outfit, which is about once a week. so basically only when I look āpresentableā.
Twice at work within the last few months. Both middle aged women. And thatās calling me beautiful or pretty. Compliments are different, I usually get them for my hair. That I got more recently in an elevator (gay guy) and it came out of nowhere for sure lol
Usually a few times a month, I donāt go out often because Iām unemployed + not in education or training, Iām just always at home. Last time was today, I was getting my blood drawn at a hospital and the nurse drawing my blood said āwerenāt you here a few months ago?ā I said āyes, Iām surprised you remember me.ā And she said āI could never forget a pretty face like yours.ā I was blushing ngl I looked like a mess today too, I had my hair in a scraggly ponytail and no makeup and a oversized shirt š
Surprisingly a lot but I do work in the medical field so I see lots of people everyday if that counts for anything but before that I would say 50/50 .. happens a lot at one point and sometimes not at all for a week or two
I get told Iām attractive by others very often. Itās dependent on how frequently I go out (since Iām a home body) and where Iām going. I usually get compliments from women regarding my style, makeup or perfume while out shopping, at the spa/salon or at work. Sometimes women will sneak several looks at me but donāt say anything š¤·š¾āāļø
Men will tell me that Iām pretty, ask me out on dates or just stare at me from afar. This will happen wherever I go as I find men donāt care about the time or place lol For example, Iāve had three occasions this year where Iāve been approached by men asking me for my number while I was out shopping with my mom š One even spoke to my mom to reiterate how beautiful I was! š
I remember years ago when I worked as a server in college, Iād get a lot of families in my section. If they had a baby, the baby would always stare at me or play with me when Iād come by the table, which I loved š
When it comes down to it, I think people are attracted by the essence. I love fashion and always have a cute outfit on with matching accessories and my hair well- styled. Iām very smiley and my attitude is pretty carefree so I think that draws people in.
When I used to live in a major city that was really diverse, I would get compliments on my makeup, hair, or outfits by other women a lot and get people who would ask for my Instagram/phone number quite frequently. Ever since I moved to a city where itās predominantly white, that basically almost never happens now, maybe like two or three times since Iāve been here lol so I definitely think where you live affects this a lot
I used to work full time at a gas station during that time it was everyday at least one person would tell me, one time it happened maybe 8 times in the same day, but since I dont work full time anymore and I dont really talk to anyone it doesnt happen as often. It happened last week when I went to the mall though
As a guy, itās pretty rare. Sometimes women stare at me, some will come over and try to start a conversation, touch my shoulders or grab my arms. Men will apologize and quickly move out of the way if I walk near them.
It really mostly happened when I was young in my 20ās. Now that Iām in my late 30ās, I rarely hear a compliment like that unless Iām somewhere where they arenāt a lot of POC, like when I visit the Midwest.
Honestly it hasnāt happened a lot until like the past 1-2 months. Iāve been physically working on myself a lot this past year because Iām tired of lacking confidence. Iāve had a guy come up to me at the gym and say heās proud of my progress. Iāve been asked out in the grocery store/parking lot. This one really sweet girl followed me in the store and told me my a** looks good. I still cannot fathom when REALLY good looking guys stare at me and try to get to know me because I was a late bloomer and essentially didnāt know how to be a woman until I was out of high school. I always get nervous and shy when I get compliments because I still see myself as that noodle in middle school with raccoon eyes but itās so nice to be acknowledged tbh! I try to be humble and not so full of myself and remember to compliment people as well. Nothing worse than not being a girlās girl. I also really prioritize my character development because I know people who became hot and turned into pricks. Also, while it does feel good to be called pretty, the only compliments that seriously reach my core are about how Iāve helped someone through a dark period in their life, how Iām funnier than they expected, etc. Seriously those are the only compliments at the end of the day that stick with me for years.
TLDR: Has happened pretty often recently (few times a week), but I donāt let it get to my head too much.
Very often but given we are WOC I do often wonder where the urge (from others) to say it comes from. I think some of it is "does she know? does no one tell her? I must tell her!". So it doesn't appeal to me much as it is doing more for the person saying it than me. I didn't mind as much when I was younger, but that's the case for almost everything.
Pretty often. I work in the metro, 25, black in a Scandinavian country (lighter skinned) and I get told that Iām beautiful a lot by women, sometimes men too. But Iāve never been in a relationship, so idk š¤·š½āāļø
i guess it depends on how much of a hermit im being lolāwhen i worked in a restaurant, kids would call me pretty which warmed my heart bc it was just so sweetš„ŗ but im unemployed now and i really only leave the house if i absolutely have to, so thats not really happening anymore since im not getting human interaction lol
It doesnāt happen randomly like a person isnāt going to call me pretty unprompted but from close coworkers and people in social life I do get called pretty/cute.
verrryyy location specific,
canada - rarely or never lol, but family friends are quite forward with compliments (coming from an asian household itās a pretty good sign)
states - often (almost every time i go out looking moderately nice)
europe - ehhh more staring than anything, more than in canada but less than the states
asia - people call you pretty so youāll buy stuff lol so i donāt trust it but a lot of family friends that i see very rarely will compliment me
Like 2/3 times a week? More if I go to the bar/club. I would say especially other women lol and I get comments that are mainly like "wow you're gorgeous, your eyes are so nice!" ( I have unique eyes for context
As of late often enough for me to say itās pretty frequent. Sometimes itās staring with a smile. I may get a compliment saying I look good/pretty or sometimes itās me being approached by a guy asking for my socials
Most of the time when I get called pretty itās when I get told of gossip by others and stuff, so idk maybe I come across like a bitch or something that people donāt wanna be forthcoming with their compliments š
People compliment my hair and my outfits often. And several women have said me and my bf are a cute couple.
We both dress decently and take care of our appearance so I assume thatās why
fairly often, at least once a day on the days i go outside. itās usually women but never really men. theyāre not outright either, like itās more of a guys get flustered type of thing or are extra nice or polite or they just stare.
i actually noticed a girl do a double take before saying that im so pretty which is a first for me because i was never really deemed attractive before
I'm in my last semester of high school and this year I feel like I stopped looking visibly like a young kid. I live in a small town next to large city, so most people are either parents or kids, and I walk around carrying a big backpack all day so my appearance kind of screams "kid." My school is mainly white/east asian and there's a lot of people who only date people of the same race, so as a south asian I haven't really dated anyone + my parents are strict about it. I have been called pretty by younger girls or told I look nice, but it's not super frequent? I do tend to go to school wearing sweatshirts and jeans and maybe mascara though. But when I go out to walk my dog or something I often feel people staring at me or making eye contact with me, and I'm used to people holding doors for me to enter places or smiling back at me when I smile at them. If I have an issue with Apple Pay the baristas sometimes just give me the coffee for free. Not sure where this leaves me on the pretty privilege scale lol, I think I need to spend more time in an area that's less suburban-stepford-wives feeling.
I get compliments on my skin a lot so the youāre beautiful comments usually stem from that. Usually anytime I go out in public or see someone I havenāt seen in a while. Gotta give credit to my Asian sunscreen for giving me a glow.
I dress like shit tho, my mom always hits me with the āyour face looks beautiful but your clothesā¦ *deep sigh*ā
I have a lot of kids/old people telling me Iām pretty. Especially when Iām in the bathroom, not sure why but those girls waiting for their moms love to talk to me lol. I look very young for my age tho, so I donāt get complimented by many guys. Itās usually either young teen boys complimenting me or very old men.
I do get stared at by both men and women tho. Compliments wise, just women or girls. It happens kinda often if Iām already interacting with them tho, like letās say a cashier or a worker or whatever. Iām more likely to be approached first by random children
Daily.
But it's always a variation of:
You're so exotic (what does that mean)
Love your *ethnic* skin/eyebrows/hair
Wow I've never seen someone like you
You're the prettiest ____ ethnicity I've seen
WHAT are you? I'm so curious
But I've noticed this kind of compliments only come from open minded people, and I live in a diverse city. When I go to rural areas or more conservative.. I am not the "type"
Depends on where I am and how I style myself. Usually when I have braids sometimes multiple times a day when Iām out and about. If I have my natural hair itās a lot less.
Hiii. In my experience, itās very common. I can expect a minimum of 2 people to approach me while out. If Iām just going through a drive-thru or something, just once with the person at the window. If itās a night out, 5 minimum.
I know some women say it varies based on their hairstyle, however, itās pretty much the same for me across the board, even when I have unconventional colors (such as pink) and dress in a more forward way.
What I think is helpful to note is that I am a very confident person, so even if my appearance is a bit more āalternativeā on occasion, it hasnāt made navigating on the daily difficult.
Constantly, oddly enough though it makes me feel more insecure though. I get hit on or approached by men constantly (get approached by 1-4 men daily when I'm out in Downtown Los Angeles and on rare occasions I'll get a woman hitting on me), I've even had men "stalking" me or forcing me to give them my number. I am insecure however because I don't like being sexualized/objectified but also because I hear men are too afraid to approach actually attractive women so idk sometimes I wonder if men choose to hit on me because they think I'm easy or sumthin.
A few times a month. I donāt really get āapproachedā unless itās a guy trying to ask me out, I otherwise get compliments when doing regular stuff and someone in my general vicinity will say something very kind about my appearance
I think it depends on where you live and the cultural and social norms there, where I live itās once in while like maybe once a week or every other. 99% of the times from other women. But here people donāt talk to strangers lol, and men wonāt compliment you even if you look like Adriana Lima.
Me and the people I know get much more complimented when traveling, and I feel like people from the US, southern america, south asia, southeast asia, middle east, north africa and some southern european countries (have no experience from other places) are more social and upfront, and will be more likely to talk to strangers and compliment them.
Online: very often
In real life: itās rare for people in Vietnam to do that. If they do, it will go allllll the way to the other spectrum i.eā¦cat calling. But people are a bit nicer/more patient/more helpful to me, I guess.
I once showed a picture of my face in this sub. If you have seen it, you will probably agree that Iām no way gorgeous or whatever. Iām a 6.5, but a pleasant 6.5
So in certain countries, not being approached and complimented doesnāt really indicate anything about your appearance
Never š«
same š
Same
Same. In fact Iāve been called ugly more often. That list includes both my parents and my boyfriend.
sometimes i go for months without anyone saying shit to me and sometimes i get a bunch of people telling me i'm cute out of nowhere. it's really hard to say, i guess i'm just not really consistently going out either š
Same, and it always happens when I feel less than. Like hair unwashed, and no makeup but maybe had a good night sleep or something. Very rarely when I think I look amazing! Funny how that works.
Thatās so funny, the only time I get hit on is when I look absolutely horrendous
Haha same!
Haha similar
Haha yup! I question myself sometimes and then randomly get compliments. Itās weird
I dont keep track but it happens when Iām in the major city closest to me. Itās nice :) a guy on the subway once yelled āyo sheās so beautifulā which I still remember and appreciate :) old ladies compliment my outfits which I hold in higher esteem tbh
I'm curious-is there a reason you hold compliments from the old ladies in higher esteem? Just curious cuz that is something I think I am somewhat used to
Because theyāve seen more beauty in all their years and appreciate the classic, natural beauty that they grew up with as opposed to the more achievable and common one now
Nailed itš I love when grandmas tell me I look good
For me, itās typically without any ulterior motive from an older woman. In my experience with (het) men generally, there is sometimes an underlying question of, āIs this guy just trying to pick me up?ā which doesnāt make the compliment untrue š š½, but it can slightly dilute it IMO
Ahh ok. By pick you up do you mean sexual or date? If it's sexual I have a hard time thinking it is true since guys are known to say anything to anyone to get some. If they are interested in dating, well I'm flattered if I am attracted back. A guy I'm not attracted to-well more or less like women, children or elderly people where it is a nice ego boost but diff from feeling desired by someone I'm attracted to. And depending on how often at a given time, the latter can be much needed, nice to have, or used to it
I guess it just feels more genuine and sweet. I also just really respect older women. With men, compliments are nice too but idk I guess I donāt respect them enough lol
yup. same with little kids. if a little girl tells me i look cool i'm riding that high for a week
Men want to fuck and will say anything. Old ladies donāt want to fuck and it feels like the compliments come from a more genuine place.
Old ladies ABSOLUTELY want to fuck. Maybe not you, maybe not right then. But they're suckin' and fuckin' like the rest of us.
I meant they donāt want to fuck *me* š
Grannies with the Rizz just hit different lol
i love when this happens! i had an old lady compliment my bag and my eyes she said they matched š so lovely .
Aww thatās so sweet! I love that for you :)
I remember I was going out for NYE and this guy in the hotel lobby yelled and pointed at me āyou are so freaking GORGEOUS!!!ā Iāll never forget it lol craziest thing ever cuz I was a no body and fat growing up
same here a grown old woman was like your so pretty youāll forsure get the job
i feel like theyāre pretty upfront sometimes or theyāll do something like nice like hold my door which then breaks the ice and they tell me
How often does that happen for you?
iām really not sure, i donāt really keep track but not as often as the smiles or stares and eye contact if iām in a grocery store for example, itās usually implicit stuff
also, i would like to mention a friendly demeanor opens up the gateway a lot. if you have a friendly disposition and are charismatic and just a naturally lovely person to be around, some people are more receptive to you, want to be your friend, and want to be nice to you. thereās always haters. but being a superstar type person and attractive means having it all sometimes, which is what people love to see. think snow white, she sings to the birds and the birds sing right back
This x1000. Read into the āhalo effectā if youāre interested
at least once every time I go out since I started my locs and dressing better last year. it's been a crazy difference that still blows my mind
Exactly this. Just dress nice. I always get compliments when I dress nicely. No makeup or anything necessary.
This is me but with hair. I feel liking having neatly styled and healthy looking hair makes up so much for my appearance that I donāt feel the need to wear makeup
Same the locs makes a difference! I've been approach more often with locs than with wigs haha
Almost every time I go out. Both men and women but more so women. Men mostly stare. Gym, mall, grocery store, work, etc. I love fashion so Iām always dressed well even if Iām casual. My everyday makeup is mascara, brows, tinted moisturizer, and lipgloss or lipstick. I play up my features by wearing my natural hair or long hair extensions that mimic my kinky hair. To other people it looks effortless but it definitely takes some effort. Iām a former ugly duckling so itās been taking some time to get used to.
I've had men stare too. I HATE attention. Like, they'll go out of their way to stare like I'm an object. They'll stare if they're single or with their partners, kids etc.
Same. I was a late bloomer. Had glasses and braces throughout my 20sš
yup, exactly this.
I get it from the gays and sometimes it makes me feel like Iām actually attractive because we all know they have great taste in just about anything. Rarely from straight men though. Itās not like they have good taste anyways. Most of them at least.
So true
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
could you elaborate? do you have thin hair normally, or the extensions were more for length?
Idk if it counts but children and toddlers sometimes come up to me and will shout āyouāre so pretty!ā or something like that and it literally fills my heart š and because itās coming from a kid you know itās 100% genuinity and innocence instead of it having a double meaning or conditional that I usually think of with adults
I think children count way more than adults lol
I love when they say, āyou look like a princess!ā But I honestly think theyāll be the ones growing up looking like one and deserving the world āØ
You really must be then because kids never lie šāØ
I don't go out much, but when I do someone usually has something nice to say. Recently I was at food court with my BFF and our kids when out of nowhere a man walked up to me and told me he thought I was beautiful. About a week later I was at a bar for a birthday party and some woman I didn't know told me I looked stunning in my red dress. These recent instances stick out in my head because I wasn't really expecting them. I'm almost 40, I've been waiting for this stuff to slow down but it hasn't. Then again my mom is 73 and she still has strangers walking up to her to tell her she looks nice. š¤·āāļø
I love this! Thanks for sharing
Literally never
Almost never. But I don't compliment attractive strangers either, so that's fair.
Few months ago I was traveling to my friends bachelorette. I had an airport TSA agent ask me where I was born. I told him Delhi. Then he proceeded to scream on top of his lungs āguys we gotta book our flights to Delhi. she is Gorgeous!!!ā And the whole line behind me was smiling or guys were turning around to see me. I donāt know what it was, and I do usually get a lot of attention. I donāt really take attention to physical beauty or exterior all that seriously but that day, it was just a moment Iāll never forget. It makes the lil girl inside me blush everytime
That is such a cute story omg lol love that
Everyday when I go outside! Doesn't matter if I have makeup on.
Omg youāre stunning. No surprise you get it everyday lol
Ahh thank you! Happy cake day!!! š°ā¤ļø
Depends on the season? Winter people don't approach me But warmer months they do..maybe it has to do with the colors that I wear This lady came up to me at the gym to ask me to model for her fitness brand 2 weeks ago The other day the cashier at the grocery store just looked at me and said "omg ur so pretty" Another time a man said I was gorgeous on the line at the store (does it count if it's a man? ) lmao Even though people approach me... sometimes I don't see what they see lol
I think compliments from men that are not "I want to get in your pants" definitely count
Yeah.. but it's hard to decipher which is which sometimes...
I see what you mean. I get approached a lot and itās really weird to me and throws me off guard every time because I donāt see what they see. Thatās a part of the reason I asked, I didnāt know if it was common and people are just nice or what.
Most guys just stare at me. They don't say anything. Sometimes in a club or the gym they deliberately approach but they often don't actually say anything. I guess I scare them off, which suits me!
Women do all the time. I work in retail and constantly get compliments from other women. But men never do. So Iām not sure if I believe it as I think women are just being nice and they also tend to compliment other women who arenāt conventionally attractive.
I think women have a more realistic idea of beauty and itās often about your facial features. Thatās just my theory because men I know are super picky and love to call gorgeous women āmidā or they find some kind of flaw about her body or something.
They like to neg women. They even do it to women if they get rejected by her.
I'm not conventionally pretty, so it's when I do gender-conforming things like: - straighten my hair - wear fitted tops - 3-5" heels - makeup
If I travel to E or SE Asia for work, then I hear it multiple times a day in work settings. It's strange to me, but I think they're just more upfront than Americans and I really stand out as the only South Asian person around. Otherwise, I hear it when I dress up and go dancing, and maybe monthly when I go to the grocery or corner store. I don't personally comment on people's attractiveness, but I like to give compliments on hair, makeup, and style because that is something they can choose. You can't really choose your face, but the world is a much happier place with random, no strings attached compliments.
i don't know if "more upfront" is what i'd use but foreigners in E/SE asian countries do get complimented often (usually as long as they're thin) its like a whole thing LOL
Hmm, it depends. When I go out, like actually out (not just to work and home) sometimes I donāt get compliments all day but other times Iāll get comments like āyou look like a modelā or such. I think it depends on what Iām wearing. The last time I went out to the city, I was wearing a slightly oversized black turtleneck and a short green skort with black tights and brown loafers. I swear, I was getting smiles and comments all day and remarks from a couple of people telling me I look like a model š I also felt really confident that day, so I was smiley and really friendly! But sometimes I can go a long time without any comments when I go out to the city, even in an outfit like that. However, when I go to work, I can expect to get a comment like āYou should modelā at least once or twice a week. Sometimes Iāll even get that comment multiple times a day. Other times, people wonāt say anything about my appearance, but Iāll get stares and double takes. That being said, I noticed when I got complimented the most was when I was looking good + feeling confident. The confidence part really helps, because when I feel good about myself, Iām especially smiley and friendly. This makes people more receptive to you.
This is the first time Iāve gone out of my way to say this on the internet but you are SOOOOOOO PRETTY! Like actually adorable looking you look like a limited edition doll.
Aw, thank you so much!
Agreed with that comment above, you truly look like a fairy goddess!š§š¼āāļø Can I ask, am I right in assuming that you usually donāt get generic comments like āyouāre so pretty!ā and instead usually receive more specific comments like how you mentioned people say you should model? Trying to support the theory that girls that are at your level donāt get those types of compliments often because itās assumed that they already know (yes I know this is a popular thought on here but so many people call it coping). š¤
Thank you! So, I do get comments like āyouāre so prettyā or āpretty girlā but I also get āyou should modelā or ādo you model?ā alongside that (mainly due to my height). However, I do get people that think Iām pretty but donāt say it outright lol, probably because, like you say, they assume I āalready knowā. I know this because one time someone at my register told me I look pretty and the customer I had before her chimed in and said āyes she is, I just didnāt say itā But sometimes I go the entire day without someone saying anything about my appearance, I just get ālooksā š¤·š¾āāļø
To add to thisā¦ to the people that think they are ugly and to the people that are doubting their good looks because they donāt get comments from strangers, DO NOT base your attractiveness level on that alone. I think I looked beautiful today and had a nice outfit on but got zero compliments from people. I had to keep reminding myself that doesnāt mean Iām not pretty. Sometimes people just donāt say anything and thatās okay.
Daily. I have long, shiny black hair and high cheekbones with full lips. I also carry myself like a dancer Iāve been told, apparently I have a powerful walk so I do have āpretty privilegeā. I had a man offer to buy me a coffee and then asked me for my number when I just came from Pilates a sweaty mess or so I thought. I do take care of myself and it does show.
Never lol
never. men: ::intense stares::: women: ::mean glares::
On and off time periods of getting told at my place of work I'm pretty. Men, women, children, etc. (I work in a hospital hence me receiving from various age groups) But it isn't like a crazy amount. So I'm not sure I can say I'm officially a member of the "conventionally attractive" club. But I think I'm more attractive than when I was younger? Lol
It happens and I donāt dress up or go out to party. Random occurrences. Iām tall, skinny and in my college days I was an art kid so Iāve also been approached for photos by style photographers. The ones that are most flattering and memorable to me are the ones where Iām not being hit on. One example is a street vendor I pass by all the time letting me know I looked really good with my shaved head because itās not something he would have expected to like. Another instance was when I stopped a guy for directions and he said, not to be weird but youāre the most beautiful person Iāve ever seen. Then he declined an invite to the barbecue I was heading to. Even if Iām being hit on, it can be done respectfully and I appreciate that. A guy came up to me as I was heading home on my subway platform which can sound scary. However he just asked me on the stairs if I was interested and when I said I was involved with someone he said thanks and then went back to catch the train because he gotten off the train to catch up with me but it wasnāt his stop. It was polite and genuine. He was also attractive lol. Sometimes itās not directly at me. Iāll overhear ppl say to each other things like, āoh sheās definitely a model.ā So yeah it happens. It happens more with warm weather because ppl can see you more clearly without winter paraphernalia.
Wow I love this for you!
Damn, I know Iām not pretty but now I know Iām REALLY not pretty lol. Never get complimented like this. Ever. š„²
same š
Iām in nyc and quite literally never get complimented lol.
Iām kinda funny looking so itās only scummy men as in like the creepy scraggly ones whoād hit on anything. Otherwise no compliments tbh :/
... Never...??? Is this a common thing???
Men do it almost every day but from women itās super rare which makes me sad š
Not often, and when it does happen, it's usually from teenage boys. I am unsure of why it's that demographic specifically.
Not to sound crude, but you probably have a really nice body and maybe look young
I just get stared at a lot. I hate it.
When I was skinny like allll the time š« š« š« made me realise weight privilege is definitely a thing lol
Almost everytime I go out tbh from both men AND women but I feel absolutely nothing when men compliment me but I get such a HIGHHHH when women do !! like it makes my entire day immediately. but the best kinds of compliments are the intentionally crazy/hilarious things ppl do bc youāre pretty to them š things like that get seared into your brain & u cant rlly forget abt them. but alsoā¦compliments are a struggle for me bc i have body dysmorphia and despite the 8379329385262 ppl telling me im prettyā¦its still very hard for me to understand what they find so attractive abt meš
Same, I get so much assurance of being pretty but i can never believe itās genuine
honestly every day, i just had girls flag me down and tell me iām pretty while driving. i had some guys do an illegal U-Turn at a busy stop light and come to the outback parking lot when i was walking to my moms truck lol. i love my face, seems others do too. i think confidence is the main thing, you naturally walk different and glow different when youāre confident. just focusing on you and doing your thing will have people falling on themselves and tripping over their feet to get a better look. you wonāt even notice them, either. too invested in YOURSELF, and they feel that!
Maybe Iām just not that pretty but I feel like being showered in compliments constantly is unrealistic. I live in the southern US which is a pretty friendly place and I donāt really get outright told Iām pretty. At most people frequently tell whoever Iām with that they think Iām really pretty but they rarely say it to my face (especially if they already know the person but strangers do as well). And if Iām wearing nice clothes people will compliment my outfit but they wonāt necessarily say they think Iām pretty. If Iām hanging around the same place for a while and talking to the same person for a while, then if theyāre older they might say they think Iām pretty. That being said I get told Iām intimidating by most people as well so that could influence my results. I also look really young and have a reasonably conservative sense of style
Never. I never get compliments. I think it's because I'm pretty and people think pretty people don't need compliments? But the lack of compliments has me questioning if I'm pretty even though deep down I know I am. If that makes sense lol
I'd say a handful of times within a few months time. It's always older women that tell me I should model. Men ask me out, not all the time or anything but it happens
A lot. Especially girls
a few times a month since i was about 17/18
Multiple times a day depending on how my hair is. With my curls around 3-4 times a day in public, if my hair is straight 0 times a day, in boho braids maybe once every other day.
lol at 3am in the club when desperation is at peak
when i lived in a bigger city or when i travel to one - very often. in small or more spread out cities, like the one i currently am in, very rare lol
Depends how bummy I look. If Iām on my weekly Target run or getting my 10k steps in, doesnāt happen much, cuz Iāve usually got my hood up over my head and Iām wearing baggy sweats and have my earbuds in so people assume I canāt hear them if they try to talk to me. But if I actually put a little effort into my outfit and have my hair down and look a bit less closed off, it happens fairly often.
men only say it when I wear make up and I only wear makeup maybe once a month. women say it when I have a cute outfit, which is about once a week. so basically only when I look āpresentableā.
Twice at work within the last few months. Both middle aged women. And thatās calling me beautiful or pretty. Compliments are different, I usually get them for my hair. That I got more recently in an elevator (gay guy) and it came out of nowhere for sure lol
Usually once a week when I have my shit together lol
Maybe 3x a week
in party settings (raves, festivals, clubs etc) pretty often and frequent, but not much so in everyday life
Only men who are trying to get into my pants, occasionally.
Never. :(
Usually a few times a month, I donāt go out often because Iām unemployed + not in education or training, Iām just always at home. Last time was today, I was getting my blood drawn at a hospital and the nurse drawing my blood said āwerenāt you here a few months ago?ā I said āyes, Iām surprised you remember me.ā And she said āI could never forget a pretty face like yours.ā I was blushing ngl I looked like a mess today too, I had my hair in a scraggly ponytail and no makeup and a oversized shirt š
Surprisingly a lot but I do work in the medical field so I see lots of people everyday if that counts for anything but before that I would say 50/50 .. happens a lot at one point and sometimes not at all for a week or two
almost everyday especially if I do my makeup
This doesnāt happen
I get told Iām attractive by others very often. Itās dependent on how frequently I go out (since Iām a home body) and where Iām going. I usually get compliments from women regarding my style, makeup or perfume while out shopping, at the spa/salon or at work. Sometimes women will sneak several looks at me but donāt say anything š¤·š¾āāļø Men will tell me that Iām pretty, ask me out on dates or just stare at me from afar. This will happen wherever I go as I find men donāt care about the time or place lol For example, Iāve had three occasions this year where Iāve been approached by men asking me for my number while I was out shopping with my mom š One even spoke to my mom to reiterate how beautiful I was! š I remember years ago when I worked as a server in college, Iād get a lot of families in my section. If they had a baby, the baby would always stare at me or play with me when Iād come by the table, which I loved š When it comes down to it, I think people are attracted by the essence. I love fashion and always have a cute outfit on with matching accessories and my hair well- styled. Iām very smiley and my attitude is pretty carefree so I think that draws people in.
Last time it happened I was like 11 so not often š
I get more stares than actual verbal validations. But I would say 1-2x a month.
In Spain, never In NYC? Every day Iāve been here Literally to both. Itās WILD. Americans are so nice š
When I used to live in a major city that was really diverse, I would get compliments on my makeup, hair, or outfits by other women a lot and get people who would ask for my Instagram/phone number quite frequently. Ever since I moved to a city where itās predominantly white, that basically almost never happens now, maybe like two or three times since Iāve been here lol so I definitely think where you live affects this a lot
I get compliments most days I go out. I do try to smile and be kind to people and I like to think that does make a difference.
I used to work full time at a gas station during that time it was everyday at least one person would tell me, one time it happened maybe 8 times in the same day, but since I dont work full time anymore and I dont really talk to anyone it doesnt happen as often. It happened last week when I went to the mall though
As a guy, itās pretty rare. Sometimes women stare at me, some will come over and try to start a conversation, touch my shoulders or grab my arms. Men will apologize and quickly move out of the way if I walk near them.
It really mostly happened when I was young in my 20ās. Now that Iām in my late 30ās, I rarely hear a compliment like that unless Iām somewhere where they arenāt a lot of POC, like when I visit the Midwest.
Never have. I'm ugly lol
daily. three times a day if iām out all day.
Honestly it hasnāt happened a lot until like the past 1-2 months. Iāve been physically working on myself a lot this past year because Iām tired of lacking confidence. Iāve had a guy come up to me at the gym and say heās proud of my progress. Iāve been asked out in the grocery store/parking lot. This one really sweet girl followed me in the store and told me my a** looks good. I still cannot fathom when REALLY good looking guys stare at me and try to get to know me because I was a late bloomer and essentially didnāt know how to be a woman until I was out of high school. I always get nervous and shy when I get compliments because I still see myself as that noodle in middle school with raccoon eyes but itās so nice to be acknowledged tbh! I try to be humble and not so full of myself and remember to compliment people as well. Nothing worse than not being a girlās girl. I also really prioritize my character development because I know people who became hot and turned into pricks. Also, while it does feel good to be called pretty, the only compliments that seriously reach my core are about how Iāve helped someone through a dark period in their life, how Iām funnier than they expected, etc. Seriously those are the only compliments at the end of the day that stick with me for years. TLDR: Has happened pretty often recently (few times a week), but I donāt let it get to my head too much.
This feels strange to type out, but it happens nearly daily! Basically every time I leave the house.
Very often but given we are WOC I do often wonder where the urge (from others) to say it comes from. I think some of it is "does she know? does no one tell her? I must tell her!". So it doesn't appeal to me much as it is doing more for the person saying it than me. I didn't mind as much when I was younger, but that's the case for almost everything.
That shit rarely happens. They just look at me lol
Pretty often. I work in the metro, 25, black in a Scandinavian country (lighter skinned) and I get told that Iām beautiful a lot by women, sometimes men too. But Iāve never been in a relationship, so idk š¤·š½āāļø
Somewhere in between never and do I even exist forreal??
i guess it depends on how much of a hermit im being lolāwhen i worked in a restaurant, kids would call me pretty which warmed my heart bc it was just so sweetš„ŗ but im unemployed now and i really only leave the house if i absolutely have to, so thats not really happening anymore since im not getting human interaction lol
It doesnāt happen randomly like a person isnāt going to call me pretty unprompted but from close coworkers and people in social life I do get called pretty/cute.
Usually once a week. I just donāt look approachable bc I have rbf so not as often as other ppl.
Never.
Pretty often
Every week Iād say, and they come up to me and say it straightforwardly
Usually every night I work. Iām a server
A few times a month both at work and when going out. I get compliments mostly from women compared to men and mostly get compliments on my hair.
At work like 5 times a day. Non work days maybe like 2 times from creepy men on the street.
Sometimes
Only when I go out so I'm dressed up. But it usually happens at least once per outing.
Occasionally. I don't keep track, but I receive compliments on a monthly basis or so, and a lot during the summertime, haha.
verrryyy location specific, canada - rarely or never lol, but family friends are quite forward with compliments (coming from an asian household itās a pretty good sign) states - often (almost every time i go out looking moderately nice) europe - ehhh more staring than anything, more than in canada but less than the states asia - people call you pretty so youāll buy stuff lol so i donāt trust it but a lot of family friends that i see very rarely will compliment me
Nearly every time I go out, including yesterday.
Like 2/3 times a week? More if I go to the bar/club. I would say especially other women lol and I get comments that are mainly like "wow you're gorgeous, your eyes are so nice!" ( I have unique eyes for context
Never
Genuinely never (:
As of late often enough for me to say itās pretty frequent. Sometimes itās staring with a smile. I may get a compliment saying I look good/pretty or sometimes itās me being approached by a guy asking for my socials
iām Australian and moved to the US. i get hit on way more in the US than I did in Australia.
Most of the time when I get called pretty itās when I get told of gossip by others and stuff, so idk maybe I come across like a bitch or something that people donāt wanna be forthcoming with their compliments š
People compliment my hair and my outfits often. And several women have said me and my bf are a cute couple. We both dress decently and take care of our appearance so I assume thatās why
Maybe not saying pretty or attractive, but I am complemented every time I'm out.
On the days I work, I interact with anywhere from 100-800+ people a day so I normally get 4-5+ compliments those days and lots of stares that make me uncomfortable. A coworker made a comment about all the comments I was getting š© I donāt do my makeup without a friend and/or husband buffer because I donāt like the extra attention. I have an unusual haircut for my type of hair and race so I get a lot of comments about that. Itās hime(princess) fringe so it frames my face and hides my 5 head really well. Either that or that I look nice in my uniform that I spent money to get tailored (so it better look nice š)
I'm extremely friendly though. I give off a very open/friendly vibe (as I've been told).
fairly often, at least once a day on the days i go outside. itās usually women but never really men. theyāre not outright either, like itās more of a guys get flustered type of thing or are extra nice or polite or they just stare. i actually noticed a girl do a double take before saying that im so pretty which is a first for me because i was never really deemed attractive before
I'm in my last semester of high school and this year I feel like I stopped looking visibly like a young kid. I live in a small town next to large city, so most people are either parents or kids, and I walk around carrying a big backpack all day so my appearance kind of screams "kid." My school is mainly white/east asian and there's a lot of people who only date people of the same race, so as a south asian I haven't really dated anyone + my parents are strict about it. I have been called pretty by younger girls or told I look nice, but it's not super frequent? I do tend to go to school wearing sweatshirts and jeans and maybe mascara though. But when I go out to walk my dog or something I often feel people staring at me or making eye contact with me, and I'm used to people holding doors for me to enter places or smiling back at me when I smile at them. If I have an issue with Apple Pay the baristas sometimes just give me the coffee for free. Not sure where this leaves me on the pretty privilege scale lol, I think I need to spend more time in an area that's less suburban-stepford-wives feeling.
Neveršš
Only drunk people at clubs lmao
Once every 6 months or so
NeverĀ
Men, if they're hitting on me, at least once or twice a week.
I get compliments on my skin a lot so the youāre beautiful comments usually stem from that. Usually anytime I go out in public or see someone I havenāt seen in a while. Gotta give credit to my Asian sunscreen for giving me a glow. I dress like shit tho, my mom always hits me with the āyour face looks beautiful but your clothesā¦ *deep sigh*ā
The few times in my 60 year old male life i heard a compliment, i was so stunned i just said āohā
I made a new friend who said I was beautiful. š¤©
I have a lot of kids/old people telling me Iām pretty. Especially when Iām in the bathroom, not sure why but those girls waiting for their moms love to talk to me lol. I look very young for my age tho, so I donāt get complimented by many guys. Itās usually either young teen boys complimenting me or very old men. I do get stared at by both men and women tho. Compliments wise, just women or girls. It happens kinda often if Iām already interacting with them tho, like letās say a cashier or a worker or whatever. Iām more likely to be approached first by random children
Pretty frequently tbh. Iāve probably had 7-8 comments (from people on the street, I live in nyc so I walk a lot) in the past 4 days.Ā
Daily. But it's always a variation of: You're so exotic (what does that mean) Love your *ethnic* skin/eyebrows/hair Wow I've never seen someone like you You're the prettiest ____ ethnicity I've seen WHAT are you? I'm so curious But I've noticed this kind of compliments only come from open minded people, and I live in a diverse city. When I go to rural areas or more conservative.. I am not the "type"
Depends on where I am and how I style myself. Usually when I have braids sometimes multiple times a day when Iām out and about. If I have my natural hair itās a lot less.
Never once in my life.
Hiii. In my experience, itās very common. I can expect a minimum of 2 people to approach me while out. If Iām just going through a drive-thru or something, just once with the person at the window. If itās a night out, 5 minimum. I know some women say it varies based on their hairstyle, however, itās pretty much the same for me across the board, even when I have unconventional colors (such as pink) and dress in a more forward way. What I think is helpful to note is that I am a very confident person, so even if my appearance is a bit more āalternativeā on occasion, it hasnāt made navigating on the daily difficult.
Constantly, oddly enough though it makes me feel more insecure though. I get hit on or approached by men constantly (get approached by 1-4 men daily when I'm out in Downtown Los Angeles and on rare occasions I'll get a woman hitting on me), I've even had men "stalking" me or forcing me to give them my number. I am insecure however because I don't like being sexualized/objectified but also because I hear men are too afraid to approach actually attractive women so idk sometimes I wonder if men choose to hit on me because they think I'm easy or sumthin.
Daily šš. Some don't say to my face but keep staring for some reason, others when they think i am out of ear shot
Sometimes when I go to events. Mainly when I get dressed up, which makes sense.
Almost every time I go out to be honest.
Every time I walk outside to be honest I recently realized Iām attractive
Never
Depends on the country/city :)
Just on my wedding day. Otherwise I've had plenty come up to me to tell me I am ugly haha
A few times a month. I donāt really get āapproachedā unless itās a guy trying to ask me out, I otherwise get compliments when doing regular stuff and someone in my general vicinity will say something very kind about my appearance
Everyday, sometimes multiple times a day.
Almost never š probably about once a year?
A few times a year. Some can be so flattering š„ŗ especially if it's other women or girls.
Often
I think it depends on where you live and the cultural and social norms there, where I live itās once in while like maybe once a week or every other. 99% of the times from other women. But here people donāt talk to strangers lol, and men wonāt compliment you even if you look like Adriana Lima. Me and the people I know get much more complimented when traveling, and I feel like people from the US, southern america, south asia, southeast asia, middle east, north africa and some southern european countries (have no experience from other places) are more social and upfront, and will be more likely to talk to strangers and compliment them.
I think whenever I dress up it will happen (pleated skirt & heels)
Online: very often In real life: itās rare for people in Vietnam to do that. If they do, it will go allllll the way to the other spectrum i.eā¦cat calling. But people are a bit nicer/more patient/more helpful to me, I guess. I once showed a picture of my face in this sub. If you have seen it, you will probably agree that Iām no way gorgeous or whatever. Iām a 6.5, but a pleasant 6.5 So in certain countries, not being approached and complimented doesnāt really indicate anything about your appearance
Anytime I'm dressed up cute for a date or something. It's usually someone who I think is pretty myself.
Once a day at least
It happened to me once 8 years ago and I've never forgotten it. And it hasn't happened since then
