    LOL well every woman likes a nice compliment (at least I do lol) but everyone on here (guys & gals) all compliment each other with the Wow you look greats and the Nice job looking nice!! As long as its "respectable" it shouldnt be a problem :)

    And FYI..... saying "good job" to a woman after posting her weight loss is completely fine!!!

    i give credit where credit is due... if they did a great job then tell them. if you think they look great then tell them! if your inspired by their story then tell them. male or female theyre obviously focused and kicking *kitten* and were here to support and motivate after all.

    if you want to avoid a sexual harrassment case, then avoid saying creepy stuff lol

    "Great job! You look fantastic!" is fine.

    "Great job! I want to pull your panties down with my teeth!" is not fine.


    Pretend you're complimenting your sister, unless you have the kind of lifestyle where you might have an Uncle Dad and Aunt Mom.

    Posts should be in English. Punctuation is not mandatory, but it helps.

    I happen to like long run-on sentences.

    I may not be typical, but I welcome any and all compliments. I never used to get any compliments from anyone, so I pretty much gobble up whatever I get now.

    That being said, you probably shouldn't comment on a stranger's photo that she makes your pants feel tight or that you are right-click-saving for later enjoyment. At least wait until you are friends for that sort of commentary.

    Seriously...i like to read what people have to say and comment, but it really is a headache trying to read this and deciding where your sentences end. I am not trying to put you down, i am trying to interact with you without needing advil.

    :laugh: this thread.

    If it's borderline creepy, don't post it. I have not noticed women being particularly sensitive or getting creeped out by words of encouragement from men, if that answers the question.

    If you wrote more clearly, people might focus on what you're saying instead of complaining about the headaches they are getting from trying to work out what the f you are going on about.

    hey man no problem i must be some skinny bully because i agreed that your *kitten* is hard to read but you know what you are totally right this is so much easier to understand and communicate with please forgive me for agreeing that it would be easier to help and be supportive if you could be understood and you would probably have a more receptive audience if your wall of text were easier to decipher but since it could only be an attack on you instead of a tongue in cheek way of saying it is hard to read who knows maybe you will get some more help on here and maybe you wont but good luck either way soooooooooooo you dont want me to post in your thread dont post it in a public forum im sorry if this is hard to read but its even harder to type do you do that intentionally but if you got this far in this obnoxious wall of text i wish you good luck with the weight loss youre totally in the right place but the forums really can be a pain because there are a lot of idiots out there that have way too much time on their hands and like to troll like i guess i kinda am now kthxbye
