Should have got your number...

It's what happens, usually with Rhett.  After a while, you lose patience and get fed up with his sanctimony.  I understand it completely.  Now if only I can remember to just not reply to his posts....that's my bad.

  I was never interested in "picking up" women. I always wanted a girlfriend. I suppose if you're looking to get laid by some slut, a cheeseball comment like "You're beautiful" might be a good starting point. Although if she truly is a looker, she's probably heard a stupid line like that a million times, and probably thinks you're just another moron.
 
    I tell my wife she's beautiful practically every day of the year. And yes, she likes it when I tell it to her. But I sure as shit didn't tell her that until I actually got to know her.
 

did you wait til you were married to have sex too?  telling someone they are beaufitul is NOT picking up on them.  and only pretentious people take a compliment to mean you are a moron.  and if thats the case, then i will tell every girl i see she is beautiful and the ones that roll thier eyes are bitches and i dont wanna talk to them  
 
 sound good?   and rhett, there isnt much more cheeseball than you ,trust me!

How entertaining, watching a bunch of guys speculate about what women like.
 I agree with Bags, a compliment is always welcome, unless it's obviously an insincere pick-up attempt.

that was my stance too
 
  "you are beautiful" is not the same as "you are hot" or "nice tits"
 
   apparently Rhett's women like "nice handbag"

That's what I figured, Sonick.  Unless you're dense and think people only say something like that to "get laid," you'd get that it was an unconditional compliment from your telling of it.

 I don't tend to give those general, "you're so handsome" compliments.

right, when i said it, it wasnt even meant to get a response, i just felt as though she might want to know that i thought that. or something.  I didnt expect her to chase after me.  its like saying "nice car"  doesnt mean i want a ride...hehe. [/b]

This is good stuff. And also why I keep some opinions to myself. It's all in good fun Rhett...well, mostly good fun. Yeah Sonick, back to that review

  I met you at the Victor Wooten concert last night.  We only talked for a moment, but I am now kicking myself for not getting your number, or at least letting you know how beautiful I thought you were.  We talked about tea, you mentioned white, and I mentioned another type.  E-mail me at 930@nicksmithpublications.com with the type of tea I mentioned if you care to talk.  If not, I totally understand.
 
 With hope...

Isn't she the one in the lederhosen?

I agree. It's hilarious. I love to get a compliment, even if it's from someone about my jacket or bag or something.. it's just a nice gesture that everyone can appreciate. If I were talking to a guy and he said that I was very beautiful, I think that I'd be able to tell if he were being sleazy or just being nice.  My point being - not everyone who makes a nice comment is a gross manslut trying to get laid. Some people just like to be nice.

I guess my point was that if a woman is beautiful by societies standards, she is going to get complimented on how beautiful she is so many times that she is going to get tired of it.
 
    If I had told my wife how beautiful she was right off, she probably wouldn't have taken me very seriously...just thought I was another typical Maxim inspired cheeseball nerd who places too much emphasis on looks.
 
    My point was compliment their taste, or compliment their intellect....especially if you're complimenting a woman already deemed beautiful by societies standards...that will make you stand out more than all the other nerds who tell her the same thing.

Thank you...at my age "cool" is not something we strive for, we don't need to because we're comfortable with ourselves and don't need to "be" anything.
