Title: I like your shirt
Post by: Q. G. Pennyworth on April 29, 2012, 05:55:52 AM
The personal text in my profile has been "I like your shirt" since very shortly after I joined. It comes from my time being an activist spag, throwing random compliments at people sometimes helps get flyers in their hands, and even when it doesn't it amuses me.

So, as some of you may have noticed I've been in a rotten mood all week. Plans Friday night and Saturday afternoon got shitcanned, and I ended up grabbing some lunch with The Boyfriend and generally feeling like a grumblesaur.

After we sat down, a girl the next table over (maybe 8 or 9) turns to me and says "I like your shirt!"

And things were a little bit better.

Speaking from experience, if you puff up a gym dudes ego for 5 minutes he's yours.  Better yet:
"Your arms are fuckin huge gym dude.  I could use a big strong man like you to help me move"

Compliments only work like that when they're genuine and innocuous. Nice boobs is too overtly sexual to have the same effect.

"I hear people that wear flannel love the environment, chat with me"

but then found she was part of a Greenpeace money acquiring outing, and me not having money ended that convo quickly

(and it was a flannel shirt, not pants)

Ah, see, but you're forgetting, like everyone else, what goes on in Scandinaviaville.
