Ladies, how would you feel about...?

[Hipshot1554]

How would you feel about a stranger telling you that you have great legs? At age 64, I'm no young hunk, and not trying to come on to anyone, but sometimes I see a woman with great legs and am so tempted to say so. I'm just afraid it will be taken badly.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to pose this question, but I would so like to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you.

I have been complemented buy those whom I do not know. I always joke that they must be blind. Mainly because I'm no beauty queen.

As long as you aren't a pervy asshole about it, I think compliments are nice. It's all in the delivery.

 

[Little_Sister]

I agree with Blaze, unless you have that creepy old man look. I had a man who looked like Colonel Sanders complement me recently and I blushed. It was more general, you are beautiful type but it felt sincere, so I loved it.

Hubs and I were in Vegas 3 weeks ago and I had an old, greasy, creepy looking old man at a bar comment on my shoes. It felt really icky.

All to say, it depends.

I do have a pair, and like many other things, they should be used properly.

Wish I could see a few more panties.

 

[Hipshot1554]

To clarify things, I'm not interested in picking anyone up. A certain type of leg draws my attention. I doubt that I would offer such a comment to a woman under thirty. To me, that would seem creepy.

Being attractive and/or sexy doesn't require being a "beauty queen".

I agree!

 

[mara101]

Here's the trick. its not about looks its about threat. You can sense a compliment that's coming from a non-threatening place and one that's not so safe. "Pervy" as it was put before is a good way but sometimes "pervy" guys are harmless and "not pervy" guys give off a really threatening vibe.

Yeah, it's all in the delivery and it needs to be place-appropriate too. My experience is women love a nice compliment. Say it and move on if she is a stranger. Keep it to yourself if it's a woman at work (unless, maybe, you're out socializing and the conversation "goes there"). Tell your wife everyday! (especially right before you're going out for the evening and you both know you'll be a little late getting there if she gives you the right kind of smile of appreciation!

Commenting about peoples bodies, even as a compliment is rude, and it's been rude since the OP was a teenager.
Find something else other than the persons body to comment on. "Nice shoes" should suffice, and will probably convey the message.

Wish I could go around give a few comments to those guys who wear their pants hanging off their ass...but I digress...

I tend to agree, especially with someone older. It's one thing for a young buck to come onto a young woman with comments about her body. Older women may feel threatened by a strange man making comments about her body. It would be different if you already knew the person in some other context like a club or group of friends when you might casually say, "You know Edna, I can't help noticing how you stay in such good shape and you still have the legs of a 30 year old." Even that could come off as "hitting on her" so it's one thing if she's single and you're single. It could be awkward if either or both of you are married unless you've truly gotten some other sorts of signals from her.

I recently PM's a woman here about her nice legs based on a picture on her profile page. However, I figured if she's putting pictures of her legs on her profile page on Lit, she's expecting to have them noticed.

Close to 60 and still receive random compliments from strangers. usually on my legs, butt or perfume!

Just curious why that would feel creepy? I think it is all in how you deliver the compliment. Even to a gal under 30.Who doesn't like to be paid a genuine compliment?

 

[luv2cnips]

Is there any way that I could compliment on your protruding without sounding pervy?

 

[littlecordelera]

I always appreciate a genuine compliment. Sometimes it's just a compliment and sometimes it's an obvious come-on, but as long as it's not pushy, either way, it's a compliment and I appreciate it.
