I (afab) intentionally give my male friends and coworkers lots of non sexual compliments, and it’s been a mixed bag for people I don’t know well. I genuinely love men’s business wear, so I frequently go for a comment about what they’re wearing (think “I like your shirt” or “that’s a cool pattern,” not “that shirt makes your eyes pop” or “you look sexy in that shirt”), and about a third of the time, they still seem to think I’m coming on to them. Since I got married and wear my wedding ring, that’s down to about a quarter.

non-sexual

“You look sexy in that shirt”

I mean…

You missed the word "not" there I guess?

I’m not good at reading comprehension.

I agree. Tim Cruise is short.

how is the eyes pop one also in the not category

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I try not to compliment men’s physical attributes. Given that around a quarter of them still react like I’m flirting when I compliment the pattern they have on while I’m wearing a wedding ring, I don’t want to go any further, lol. Maybe I should have said non-flirty instead of nonsexual though, because I agree, that’s not a sexual comment.

yeah that makes sense

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

That’s an example of a compliment I don’t give. I’m not trying to start something I don’t want to finish and I don’t want to finish anything.

In my defense, I am very drunk and I do look sexy in that shirt thank you very much

You even look sexy without that shirt. Your sexiness is shirt-invariant!
