…I mean, she did say and acknowledge that maybe the guy was ‘just trying to be nice’ but that it was an unnecessary thing to say …because it was an unnecessary thing to say to a stranger who he has no idea of their life experiences etc and whether him saying that might make them feel weird, and she said that it did feel weird…she’s also surely just highlighting something that might more commonly happen to a female and how it might make them feel etc, which is is a good thing because whether it’s intended as ‘a compliment’ or not, its being said to a complete stranger which just isn’t necessary to say and is looking from it completely from the perspective of the ‘sayer’/not the person that it’s being said to ….whether the lady is an influencer or whatever/it’s an good thing to highlight…

You are too deeping ammi
She has no interest in any one else apart from herself

[Ammi]

…well…surely one of the purposes of a content creator is to create content of discussions/highlighting things that people can experience etc…and all she’s asking in this particular content is…’is it necessary to approach a complete stranger…’…when you have no idea how it could/would be perceived…and no, it really isn’t necessary/whatever the intention, it really isn’t necessary to voice that to someone …

…but personally though…?…I think that I’m just deeping enough…not too much/not too little…

It's pointless, Ammi.

@thesherrif443 thinks "gays should shut their hypocritical mouths" when it comes to women safety, but thinks if women wear certain clothes they are asking for unsolicited attention from straight men and it's fair game.

I see my comments from another thread that got closed is still hurting you
Gay men don’t get to say what straight women should accept when it comes to trans women

But straight men get to say what women should accept when it comes to straight men (who are women's biggest threat to safety)?

Interesting.

(Also why just straight women? What about lesbians, or do you not see them as women either?)

I’ve told strangers they smell nice and it’s always met with a smile and thank you
You can look for a negative in every aspect of life

…I’ve read a little about her a d I’m glad for her that she’s overcome some stuff in her life to become the content creator that she may be but that’s by the by…for me, she’s not the focus so much as what she’s saying, which I agree with…that it wasn’t necessary to say and could make someone feel weird/creeped…and not to get all political but if that ‘sayer’ was a recent arrival in the UK etc and felt that it was ok to approach a young lady that they didn’t know to express how attractive they felt she was….hmmmmm…

…anyway, I have to rush/I'm travelling home in a few moments…

I thought the same.

Funny how it's quiet from the 'keep women safe' group when there isn't a trans person or migrant to hate on at the same time.

Being late is a crime but speeding is

We can see things differently and give other examples where it would be seen differently
We have to remember men and women tell lies to get what they want!

I personally don't want to see men and women being scared to approach each other with a friendly compliment.

Obviously if it's cat-calling bullshit or inappropriate touching etc then the guy has crossed the line imo.

And I suppose to defend the woman in the OP a little bit (as I do have my doubts about her) but was the guy deliberately trying to make her uncomfortable? Because I do think that the intent from this guy would really be good to know.

The only problem with this thinking is that it can stop people wanting to interact with each other, if they're constantly scared to try and strike up a conversation with someone.

For example, some lonely people (men or women it doesn't really matter) might be looking for friendship and might compliment someone's appearance as an intention to break the ice with that other person, and hope to make a friend.

I mean tbf, only the guy in question will know what his intentions were.

That was one major reason I moved back home is because in the other place I couldn't make connections so easily as casual chatter to me is more natural. There were so many invisible boundaries that I just gave up because there was no point. I can see where people made all kinds of assumptions about other people because communication was minimal. It's not what I am used to as it's more relaxed elsewhere. Anyway if someone wants to compliment me, by all means, I'll enjoy it while it still happens. I'll be very sad if spontaneity goes away though because if and when it does I might as well move away to the boonies to get away from the downsides of urban society. Far less traffic, also.

Sadly it's the way society is going.

They want everyone to be scared of each other and just watch each other through a screen.

They don't want us to trust each other enough to see what they're doing to us all behind the scenes.

And "they" is the political leaders and big business.
