Your clearly very good at intimidating folks
Do they know anything about her aside from the fact she’s having a mental health episode?
Well I certainly can’t compliment your headlock technique or trigger discipline XD
Needs accessibility.
They’re good at objectifying hostages into coercive instruments.
You know how to take charge and get what you want.
“You’re way more committed than our last dom”.
You’re super excellent at expressing your sense of being oppressed.
Your dramatic, you should try improv.
Oh cool, bashing the gender that rarely receives any compliments. Makes total sense.
You smell great!
This almost gets it. Complements should be about choices.
Instead of saying, “you’re so pretty.” Try, “that color really brings out your sparkle.”
“You’re hair looks so amazing today, did you try a new product?” Not “You have pretty hair.”
By complimenting the decision you have given ownership of the praise to the decision maker and not whatever gods you think made us. My hair is pretty because i painfully take care of it. Not because I’m blessed. Complement a persons decisions rather than station.
Yes, but I think it is more meaningful to compliment things which are the result of effort, or a long series of decisions. Compliment someone’s muscles when they’ve been making the effort to work out for a couple months. Compliment someone’s cooking ability if they spend a lot of time cooking and practicing that art. Compliment someone’s hair if they clearly put effort into making it look good.
NANI NANI! GRAMMAR POLICE HERE! YOU JUST SPELLED “You’re hair” WRONG (correct is “Your hair”).
I love complimenting people, man or woman. However, as you said, I like to compliment something that took effort or at least commitment, not luck. It costs nothing and often nets happiness.
I’ve mentioned this on lemmy before, but one of my favorite memories is complimenting a random guy’s jacket in the waiting area at an Outback Steakhouse. The jacket was loud, but pretty cool. I said I liked it; he grinned, thanked me and clapped me on my shoulder. The person I presume was his girlfriend or wife rolled her eyes, but smiled.
That’s all the context I have, but I assume she had teased him for it and he had defended it. Whatever the actual circumstances were, everyone walked away smiling.
“we actually hate you, we just think you are hot”
“Nice grip on the gun you have there. Have you been taking shooting lessons?”
I would have defaulted to complimenting her trigger discipline but…
There are two ways to interpret this comic:
-
men are incapable of giving complements for anything but looks.
-
her looks are the only thing worth praising
The second one seems to be the case here. She’s violent, no trigger discipline, and doesn’t give people any clues about her psychosis until it’s too late.
For all we know they started with a group of ten.
Holding someone at gunpoint and demanding compliments certainly doesn’t speak well of her personality.
Or: they don’t know anything about her and only have her appearance to go off.
“You have such confidence!”
-
“You gals get compliments ?”
