    I've NEVER complimented a woman at work! Since I've never shat where I ate ( hit on or slept with a co-worker), giving a compliment on her physical appearance is just not worth a "Thank you."

    And that's a best case scenario. :|

    I could see why someone would say this.

    What up Bruh,

    Not everything is black and white. (Damn, no pun intended...lol) There are some grey areas here. You have to gauge it by the person, the comfort level you have with each other, the WAY you say it and the circumstances and situation surrounding the compliment.

    For example, I built up a repoir with one of the cleaning ladies at my job. She's very outgoing and talks to EVERYBODY. Very personable. We'd always chat about basic stuff like kids, weather, wherewe're from, etc. Over time, I began telling her how nice her hair looked when she wore it down. A couple weeks ago, I told her that it looked nice and then said "I know youget tired of me giving you compliments so I'm gonna stop." She said "no! Don't stop. I don't get many compliments, so I like when you give them to me."

    Then there are those on my job who I won't even LOOK AT because I get that "business only" vibe. You gotta look at each individual and proceed cautiously.

    So true my brother. But there is one thing I have found and that is you have to give respect and show understanding to all you meet on the interpersonal level of contact. It is hard enough for a woman to be taken seriously in many aspects of modern life (although that is changing) I do find from my conversations with them that being taken seriously means a lot to them and not just for their bodies, but for their minds and what they can meaningfully contribute to an organization and to society in general. We men definately need to do our part to change to the new reality of what a woman can and should be allowed to be. My opinion.

    Yep, no doubt, and everything you said is especially true in the workplace. I say let the woman give signals that she's interested. We men are naturally the aggressors, but at the job, we gotta play it cool!
