    honestly I have never had a random person come up and compliment me....so I have no answer for you. But you have a very stunning face and gorgeous hair, so I am not surprised you have compliments from strangers. Probably daily :smile:

    If you are not getting compliments regularly the population of Billings MT needs a new optician :flowerforyou:



    You are so nice for saying that:blushing: The only thing I consistently get complimented on is my purse....and I believe them because I do have a super cute purse.

    Had this happen to me for the first time just the other day actually - a random (and seemingly normal) woman called out to me as she was crossing the road that I looked "really beautiful". I thanked her genuinely and graciously, then came back to work and told anyone who would listen and plastered it all over Facebook!

    That chick really made my day.

    WHOA! WAIT! WHAT?!? I'm Way too shy to give a receive compliments out in the open like that. Just laying it out there? No way.

    I will normally just follow the person home. I'll tape my compliment along with a headless nude photo of myself to a brick and throw it thru the bedroom window while they sleep!

    Those are the BEST kind of compliments! Stalkergrams :)

    How YOU doin:flowerforyou:

    If that were to happen to me I would just smile and say "thank you". And just go about my business. Lol. I'm not a social butterfly at all :D

    But no it wouldn't creep me out, as long as the person doesn't start following me and asking me a bunch of other questions :D

    Most of the compliments that I get randomly in public are mainly about the things I own not about my appearance. Like, "oh hey, I really like your bag". Or "cool earrings".

    I generally turn into a stuttering ball of awkwardness, and run away, mumbling. Luckily, I don't have it happen very often.

    I get very, very embarrassed and it shows :( I say thank you and try to continue on my way as quickly as possible.

    Not to be pompous but I get compliments daily from random men and women. Last week a very good looking woman was jogging past me on my walk to work and she told me "wow you look stunning this morning". feelsgoodman.jpg

    Lol anyway I say thank you and if they're attractive, too, I'll reciprocate. I love compliments. :-)

    a real compliment I can handle off a stranger! I just reply with an 'aw thank you!' but a rude compliment I just kind of stare at them

    I like to compliment women and vice versa. In a world that tries to make women feel bad about themselves, I like to make a point of telling women how wonderful and beautiful they are :flowerforyou:

    Random compliments are both gratifying and creepy at the same time.

    Was obese most of my adult life. So, now that I get compliments on my physique is gratifying. But, I am relatively shy so it creeps me out at the same time.

    I will say that hearing the occasional complement is way better than some of the nasty comments that have been directed at me when I was wearing 3x + sized clothing! I laughed off a lot but when people throw out things like how much shade I could provide on a sunny day. It hurt! I would much prefer some lady telling during a run that I have nice calves!

    Some random woman stopped me the other day to tell me she really loved my dress. I was like :flowerforyou: and I felt good for the rest of the day.

    The rest of the time I just get hit on by old men at the grocery store. It seems like the grosser I look, the higher % of a chance some retiree will try to get my number. Nothing against the elderly though, but I'm only 33.

    Maybe I need to step up my game a little.
