I accept any and all compliments. I would have to take them at face value because I don't post the type of pictures that would elicit pervy comments.0

"You're hot. Ever had outdoor sex?"I accept any and all compliments. I would have to take them at face value because I don't post the type of pictures that would elicit pervy comments.
Just saying' a guy could probably turn any pic into a pervy comment.
...and i am probably one of the only guys that really revels in being a guy. Sexist...objectification...all fun!0 -

I suppose I just did underestimate men. :laugh: And I might be guilty of getting freaky on a snowshoe trail...maybe...0 -
flattered...common...we all like a good compliment0

Probably a mixture of both. I have a serious boyfriend who will probably turn into my fiance within the next few years, so I really don't care about who else thinks I'm "hot."0

This is exactly why I VERY rarely feel I can pay a compliment to a lady - online or in person. There's just so much sensitivity nowadays about sexism. It can be read into anything. If I happen to receive some kind of compliment, then I feel safe enough to extend one back to that person, otherwise, too worried about "the wrong impression".Why do people, women especially, refuse to take a compliment without thinking there must be an ulterior motive.
I'm 64. When I tell a lady that I think she's pretty, that's all I mean.
Over the last decade or so, some women connote sexual meaning to that.
Why?0 -
People can be and are way to sensitive. I would take it as a compliment as it's not something I hear very often0

Why worry about what other people think? This is ironic because I felt guilty posting utter nonsense to my feeds, but my friends said just keep postin'. If you compliment someone and they get all butt hurt...let them.

I'd take it as a complete compliment. I don't get htt on or complimented on my looks, so if that were to happen, I'd be flattered. While I'm married, it still makes me feel good if other people are attracted to me too! Not that I'm going to or trying to hook up with them, it's just a compliment and feels good. No creeper about it!
Exactly what I was thinking!!0 -
Because I'm talking about folks who I do care what they think - those that are friends of mine (here or real life). I just don't want them to think I'm going over a line & jeopardizing a friendship.

my fav!!! 0 -
I'm personally offended. Especially when it's said in a very perverted way.
Sorry Michelle, but one of your pictures is practically an invitation for comments. It isn't the type of semi-clothed pictures that people use to track their progress.
Yeah, I'm not sure what possible motivation one could have for sharing a photo like the one you're referring to on their public profile besides to attract attention of a"You're hot!" nature. I get *taking* that kind of photo of yourself without the intention of being commented upon, I have "provacative" photos of myself that were taken when I was at my goal weight (not pornographic or even nude, unless you count my back/stomach/legs, but definitely "erotic" in nature) and looking at them motivates me to keep working to reach my goal weight again, but I don't share them unless I'm okay with potentially getting comments and I don't get doing it without that expectation. And when I say that, as you and TheGoktor said, I don't mean that it's an invitation to comments like, say, "Wow, you're so hot, I just want to bend you over and **** you!" - that's way out of line regardless of the nature of a photo. But just a "You're really hot!"? I see no logic in being offended by that when the only reasonable explanation for sharing that kind of picture publicly is to show off in a sexualised context.0 -
I think this reflects one of two things going on in society now:
1) People are way too damn sensitive. To make it worse, these overly sensitive people are being catered too, which magnifies the sensitivity. And/or
2) People desperately seek something to complain about or cause an uproar over just so they can have attention.
Wonder why no one says anything nice anymore? It's because of the same exact people that fall into those two categories I just described!0 -

Context is everything.
If someone just says, "hey, you're looking hot today," then I don't see any harm in that.
Most people know if they're being creepy. And most people know when someone is creeping on them. Things like body language and facial expressions get lost over the internet, so it can be harder to tell the intent of a comment, but it's easy enough to tell after a few comments back and forth if you're dealing with a creep.
To sum up: don't get your panties in a twist over one comment on your hotness. And if you find someone creepy, then use your freaking block button.
ETA: I disagree with the "No one is nice! Everyone is too sensitive!" comment. That comment reeks of hyperbole. Sure, there's too much PC BS in our culture, but people more people are nice to me than not.0 -
I like compliments. I appreciate that someone took the time to say them -- even if I'm not at the point where I believe them. I think it's nice and I try to say thank you. I think there's definately a line to cross though.
I might be guilty of it. I've commented on forums how hot someone is. I've used "hubba hubba" on occasion. It usually reads close to "Hubba Hubba!!! Kudos to you for all your hard work!!!" or "Look who's a hottie hottie!!!" I've also told people that they have great specific body parts -- arms -- legs -- and probably the worst -- I PM'd a chick to tell her that her ta tas still looked great even with the enormous amount of weight she lost and I wondered if there was a trick to keeping them.
Maybe I need to engage a better filter before I offend or creep someone out??0 -
I take it as a compliment and as a sign that my hard work is paying off.0

While I'm not the greatest at taking compliment's, I'd be flattered...so long as they don't cross into super creepy mode esp. when I don't regulary talk to them or when I'm not even friend's with them yet. 0

I absolutely take it as a compliment...hopefully a MFP friendship can form over such a flattering remark!0

It is only ok if it is a true remark....

I'd take just about any compliment as a good thing no matter who it came from, guy, girl, attractive, unattractive, creep, non-creep. It doesn't matter what the person's intentions are, it's all about how you choose to perceive it.
Regarding the Pretty(handsome) vs. Hot argument... I think it comes down to face vs body. I'm here because I want to be hot, not because I want to be handsome, because I have no control over that. If someone tells me I'm handsome, it's nice to hear but it's certainly not anything I can take credit for... "thanks, my mom and dad would be glad to hear they did a good job of bio-chemical mixturization!" If someone tells me I'm hot, then I know that my nutritional changes in life, my hours at the gym, my research, my dedication have paid off, and you're damn right I'm going to take credit for it!
Regarding giving compliments... I prefer to take a wait and see approach... I wait and see if the person is as perverted as I am and only then offer up an appropriately perverted compliment! 0 -
I've been on here a decent amount of time and have run the gamut of pictures that I've put up of myself, some got more attention than others (some surprised me on how many comments I got). I've put some up specifically to get attention therefore I never complained about the attention I got, albeit I apparently have a very different image of myself than others do. :laugh: I've also never been anything less than gracious in accepting a compliment from anyone that sends me one, no matter whether I actually believe them or not.
Now, no one but my friends can see pics of me which is a personal choice I've made, so anyone sending me a "you're hot" message would really make me wonder as to what they are into....:noway:0 -
Doesnt bother me at all. Feel free to tell me how hot i am!!!!! Lol0
