QuoteReplyTopic: First post...Compliments from strangers Posted: January 12 2000 at 3:12am
Hello,In general, I love getting compliments on my hair, especialy from men. Men usualy seem indifferent about hair.I spend so much time and money on my hair that getting compliments on it is a big ego boost. But you must take the environment into consideration. If I am walking outside, alone, and the area is either fairly empty, dark, or a bad neighborhood, then I feel uncomfortable with men aproaching me about anything. I don't know what they want or if it will lead to danger.

However I have had compliments that made me a uncomfortable... one quite recently, so it's fresh in my memory. Generally hit-and-run compliments are no problem, and if you're already talking with someone (a salesgirl, an aquaintace perhaps) then working in a compliment is lovely. The ones I had problems with are the folks who lead with a compliment and then try to carry on a conversation with me, regardless of whether or not I'm interested in chatting with them. If you give a lady you don't know a compliment, leave it at that... don't be pushy, let her take the iniative if she wants to continue the conversation.-jennifer j

Many ladies are talked into cutting their long hair because of "its too long or your not in style" pressure from their friends or others. But, did you ever notice that usually these people have much shorter hair? Whether knowing or unknowingly a great many of them are deep down jealous of the persons long hair. It takes a real commitment to keep and maintain long hair healthy, something that is not that hard to do, once the routine is learned, but many people do not have the patience and determination to stay with it until they achieve success. Many ladies 'glow' with appreciation when they recieve compliments on their hair. They deserve it! But be careful!, you might get more than a smile!, I did!, My "long haired girl" is now my Wife! (And I'm Glad of it! william
Steve C's right: go ahead and compliment. I can tell you firsthand that it makes my day when someone compliments my hair! You never know how someone might take your compliment, but in most cases I'm sure you'll get a big smile and a thank you!> Hello, you have a first-time poster on your hands> here.> I'm a 26-year-old single male who is fascinated by> women> with long hair.

C.C.My wife works in retail and has waistlength hair. She is forever having guys and girls come up to her in the store and tell her what beautiful hair she has.At first she felt uncomfortable but now she accepts the compliment and even enjoys it.People have walked clear across the mall just to see the girl at the music store with the hair. (Guys & Girls)Even her boss says - keep the hair - its an attraction that brings in the customers.Out of the blue yesterday - a young man tapped her on her shoulder and said "I just want to tell you you have beautiful hair" and then walked away. No come on or anything!So compliment girls with lovely hair. It seems there is more effort to cut off beautiful hair than to recognize it as the crowning glory. Women need to hear that they are beautiful and men need to recognize the fact that its OK to honestly and openly express their feelings.Take Care CC and have a great Christmas!Everyone have a great Christmas and New Year!God BlessSteve C
