[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, if you relentlessly comment on someone's appearance, they might loathe you. It's less fraught for women commenting about other women, but that can get obnoxious too.

And yes, this applies to "the world" and not just as work (although it's more important at work). Keep your comments on appearance to friends and family.

OK, but "relentlessly" is your word, not mine.  I'm saying my wife will tell the lady behind the counter at the liquor store that she likes her glasses; I'll tell the 60-year-old woman at the corner market I like her fancy nail polish while she's ringing up my order.  If I see some guy with a cool pair of shoes, I'll tell him.  If we're on Metro near a cute baby, I might say "hey, cute baby!".  But no one's "relentlessly" harassing any one person with compliments.

I appreciate your candor.  Do you really follow that rule yourself?  Absolutely no appearance-related comments about anyone except friends and family?  I find that mind-boggling and perhaps a little sad, quite frankly.

I very rarely compliment people on their appearances.  I did ask a coworker today where she got her blazer.  That's about it.  I don't assume people need me to validate their sartorial choices ... [/quote]
