So I was reading a guy’s AWALT rant because the women he’s on dates with are never saying thank you when he compliments how beautiful they are.

So for a day, I experimented and complemented all the women who had something pretty on them that I liked. All of them has said thank you and smiled at me.

So I realized a huge difference:

1. I was genuine about my compliment. it wasn’t an ulterior motive.
   
2. I said it to young and old women alike.
   
3. I said what I found good on them. It wasn’t a generic compliment on their beauty.

Also, a lot of guy seemed to think, complementing a woman, especially one they think is actually ugly, should result in them getting laid. Which is gross and which is why your compliments mean nothing.
