Is there a respectful way to let a woman (or man) that they are attractive?

I would recommend not calling a female a Latino.

Yea it’s 2022. Latinx is preferred.

Comment on something she is wearing instead of her body. For example, “That’s a great shirt. May I ask where it’s from? My wife/girlfriend would love it.” Now you get to talk to her, she feels good because you gave a non-threatening compliment, and she knows you’re married so she knows at least one woman can tolerate you.

“That’s a great shirt. It would look much better on the floor.”

I usually just feel the material.

“That’s a great shirt. It would look much better on the floor.”

For an extra emphasis... "It would look much better on my bedroom floor". That's always a winning line.

Use an English accent an ask if you can knock her up sometime

I don’t mean pick up line or cat calls, but a non creepy compliment. I was at the post office yesterday and there was a very attractive Latino woman there. She wasn’t dressed slutty or even all dolled up for a night on the town. She had nice slacks and high heels to show off her legs, a simple sleeveless blouse, and long hair in a poney tail. Photo below is for reference, not the same woman.

I kept glancing over at her, not wanting to stare in an obvious manner. In reality, Im an introvert and wouldn’t ever just start a conversation with random strangers. It got me thinking that there should be some sort of way to tell someone that what they are doing to make themselves look good was working. Anyone ever come across a situation where you were able to compliment a man or woman in a way that didn’t come off as objectification.

You didn’t ask her what type of tie to wear to your wedding?

Your shtick is getting old and weak.

Mentioning her looks to a woman you don’t know out of the blue is essentially hitting on her though, isn’t it?

yes, that’s my quandary… I’m wondering if there was a way to compliment without hitting on them

In that case you'll have to pretend you're gay.

 

[Connorpozlee]

Personal opinion, no.

 

[L.A.Lion]

Just try being direct with the object of your fascination.

My name's Ed but you can call me darling.

That was a friend's line that lived across the hall from me at PSU and on occasion, it worked. I think the girl's blood-alcohol level was a factor.

Unless they are your spouse, significant other, sister, or daughter, the answer is a clear no.

Latino is a term used to refer to a male. Latina would refer to a female.

I’m aware. I was inserting the gender neutral version which all the inclusive folks are using these days. I was attempting to be tongue in cheek.

'Latinx' And Gender Inclusivity

How do you pronounce this more inclusive word?

Plenty of good options here, I’d maybe go with “you could be a part time model”:

At my gym you’ll see women with their sweatshirts tied around their waists so in effect they’re wearing skirts. This is sad on two counts: I can’t see their butts, and they’re advertising that they’re sick of men staring at their butts. Be discreet and use the mirrors wisely. It’s like staring at the sun, as Jerry Seinfeld says.

The mirrors at my gym got a lot of use this morning, just saying. It was a good day.

 

[psuro]

You could try....

" I think my future ex-wife looks just like you! Oh wait, never mind, you are much better looking"

Same with me. A couple college-age girls were wearing next to nothing.

Yeah the women at the gym are there for you to look at.

What's your goal with the compliment?

This is so fantastic.

A congratulatory tip of the hat, I guess…

 

[LionJim]

nvm.

Have you tried just grabbing her ***?

Or he could have just pulled his pants down.

cat?

 

[saturdaysarebetter]

Go over and sniff them, smell their hair. Works for even the oldest of men.
