WTF is so wrong with telling someone they're pretty, beautiful, etc? Seriously, what the fuck wrong with making someone feel better about themselves?
I'm so fucking sick of seeing shit like this, and it happens all the goddamned time. Whether it's a reg being complimented or a random blogger, someone tell me why we can't just make someone feel good about themselves rather than tearing them down?
well that's a fucking lie. I've seen pip after pip of you guys on this board and none of you are average. I'm generally blown away at how gorgeous the majority of you are.
so, if there is some troll riling everyone up.. .welll.. consider the source?

A compliment is great, if it's the truth. You women tell EVERYONE that posts a picture that they are pretty, stunning, gorgeous. Maybe you women should ask yourselves why you feel the need to tell EVERYONE that?

BECAUSE EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR OWN WAY, AND THEY DESERVE TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL.

Hmmm probably because we want people to feel good about themselves.
But, again, this twat isn't the first to say this shit.
I mean, look at that thread before she entered. There were plenty of "regs" who pretty much said the same thing.
I've seen compliments given that I wouldn't have given, but that's just me. Everyone's perception is different--it doesn't mean they're lying and only I know the truth. Sheesh.
I'm assuming this post has to do with the one that was earlier today and I didn't bother to read all of it because it didn't seem controversial enough to read all the way through.

So, basically you just admitted you say it to be nice and not because it's the truth, right? How many of you that have been told you are gorgeous on here, can go out with sweats, their hair looking a mess and no makeup and have person after person come up to you to tell you you are stunning and gorgeous? Please tell the truth. I 'm not saying that all you women aren't attractive. Most women in this world are, but that's different than pretty, gorgeous, beautiful and stunning.

I love complimenting people. That's half of why I stopped lurking. I felt creepy having all these "omg she is such a great mom" and "omg she is really looking beautiful in that picture" thoughts about people who didn't even know I existed. I suppose I'm okay with being insecure if that's what complimenting people means? Women get enough shit from the rest of the world, we don't need it from each other.

Lemon,
It seems like you are taking what I said to heart. Have people on here said you are gorgeous and you believed it, so you are mad about what I said? I've never seen a picture of you, so I was not talking about you.
People have different taste. I'm sure every woman who posts here is beautiful to someone. I think the people who see something they like are the ones who issue the compliment. Why is this a problem?

I said no such thing.
I merely stated that I personally do not call everyone pretty.
If people want to tell others that they are pretty, I don't see how this is not nice.
I don't wear makeup, and people have told me that I still look fine. I choose to believe it.

If you REALLY mean it and not just saying it because you want to come across as nice, or you think as a woman you need and should say that so people will think you are nice and not jealous, then it's okay. It seems like, a lot of times, that people are really struggling to find something good about some people when they see a picture. If you have to do that, just don't say anything.

I'm taking it to heart because it seems like we can never win. Either we, as women, are classified catty bitches who can't get along with each other or that we're apparently too complimentary.
And no, I haven't been called gorgeous. I have been called pretty, and I already knew that so it didn't wrongly inflate my self esteem.
If I have nothing nice to say, I don't say anything. But in the vast majority of cases, I can find SOMETHING nice to say - even if it is simply saying, I like your scarf or your eye makeup. It's not being dishonest or blowing smoke up someone's ass. Why not say something nice if you can?
