TJC1 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Lots of people meet through work, but you don't normally start that relationship by walking up to a stranger and commenting on their physical appearance. ---------- Post added 10-09-2015 at 16:00 ---------- In a business context. No, because I'm not a creep. he didn't comment on her physical appearance. He didnt say 'wow you have great eyes' or 'you are one smokin hot momma'. a sincere compliment isnt creepy.

Timeh Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Lots of people meet through work, but you don't normally start that relationship by walking up to a stranger and commenting on their physical appearance.. If you dont know them then commenting on their looks is a good first step. When you find out they have loads of quals then you can tell them how clever they are but until you know a bit about them their looks is all most of us have to go on.

TJC1 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 it was quite ambiguous - was he commenting on the quality of the photograph or how hot she was (in his opinion)? ---------- Post added 10-09-2015 at 16:13 ---------- ...it is a professional looking photo....when all said and done.

My wife and I met at work..we both started on the same day..I complemented her on her hair..does that make me a creep? we've been married for 35 years..she didn't drag my name through the papers..

Grenoside123 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Commenting on her picture is immediately inappropriate, you wouldn't do it to someones face, particularly not a stranger, and that's exactly the same thing. I'd argue that her actions were far more inappropriate than his. He paid a lady a compliment. She publicly named and shamed a man as some sort of sexist perv for paying her a nice compliment. Well done love, you've made yourself look like a very, very silly woman. It's the likes of her that give the rest of us a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 She published the correspondence. I don't see how that can be considered inappropriate. I don't think she's given anybody a bad name, it's the likes of him that give elderly creeps a bad name. And women defending him, they give women a bad name. ---------- Post added 10-09-2015 at 17:08 ---------- A few weeks ago a female colleague, who I'd not seen for a couple of months, complemented me on a recently grown beard, and said it suited me.

Not a strangers first contact with you. Quite a different scenario really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperil Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Now if he had asked her for a copy of the picture for the mantlepiece to keep the kids away from the fire....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 he didn't comment on her physical appearance. He didnt say 'wow you have great eyes' or 'you are one smokin hot momma'. a sincere compliment isnt creepy. Sure, I bet he compliments loads of men in exactly the same way! Why don't you start up a sexist right wing area, I can avoid it, and you and your fellow posters can revel in extra-judicial executions and misogyny. You can probably also talk about how the city centre is a no go zone, and how all the homeless are just liars out there for your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
