Well I certainly can’t compliment your headlock technique or trigger discipline XD
This almost gets it. Complements should be about choices.
Instead of saying, “you’re so pretty.” Try, “that color really brings out your sparkle.”
“You’re hair looks so amazing today, did you try a new product?” Not “You have pretty hair.”
By complimenting the decision you have given ownership of the praise to the decision maker and not whatever gods you think made us. My hair is pretty because i painfully take care of it. Not because I’m blessed. Complement a persons decisions rather than station.
Yes, but I think it is more meaningful to compliment things which are the result of effort, or a long series of decisions. Compliment someone’s muscles when they’ve been making the effort to work out for a couple months. Compliment someone’s cooking ability if they spend a lot of time cooking and practicing that art. Compliment someone’s hair if they clearly put effort into making it look good.
Love this addition, thank you!
NANI NANI! GRAMMAR POLICE HERE! YOU JUST SPELLED “You’re hair” WRONG (correct is “Your hair”).
I respect your integrity to stand by your convictions. We may disagree about those convictions, but it’s good to see someone willing to speak up for there believes.
sorry, could not resist

I love complimenting people, man or woman. However, as you said, I like to compliment something that took effort or at least commitment, not luck. It costs nothing and often nets happiness.
I’ve mentioned this on lemmy before, but one of my favorite memories is complimenting a random guy’s jacket in the waiting area at an Outback Steakhouse. The jacket was loud, but pretty cool. I said I liked it; he grinned, thanked me and clapped me on my shoulder. The person I presume was his girlfriend or wife rolled her eyes, but smiled.
That’s all the context I have, but I assume she had teased him for it and he had defended it. Whatever the actual circumstances were, everyone walked away smiling.
“You’re way more committed than our last dom”.
There are two ways to interpret this comic:
-
men are incapable of giving complements for anything but looks.
-
her looks are the only thing worth praising
Or: they don’t know anything about her and only have her appearance to go off.
“You have such confidence!”
Holding someone at gunpoint and demanding compliments certainly doesn’t speak well of her personality.
She’s a gogetter who isn’t afraid to speak her mind.
She’s direct and lets others know exactly what she wants.
It does speak well of her drive to achieve what she’s set her mind to.
The second one seems to be the case here. She’s violent, no trigger discipline, and doesn’t give people any clues about her psychosis until it’s too late.
For all we know they started with a group of ten.
-
You know how to take charge and get what you want.
You smell great!
“Nice grip on the gun you have there. Have you been taking shooting lessons?”
I would have defaulted to complimenting her trigger discipline but…
Same
Gotta admire how assertive she is
She’s being aggressive though
Call it enthusiasm
A little bit active-aggressive.
Your dramatic, you should try improv.
Men getting angry. “Last compliment I got was 15 years ago. You at least get compliments!”
Careful. Last time there was a comic about complimenting men it got deleted because uh… Ah yes. Too wholesome.
“Give me a complement that isn’t about my looks”
“Well, you gotta be pretty to receive those”
“Bang! bang! bang!”
…
the hostage walk away…
“we actually hate you, we just think you are hot”
You are very good at taking control of a situation
You’re super excellent at expressing your sense of being oppressed.
You have a very pretty… pistol.
But like, it seems like she’s a complete stranger to them, how are they supposed to compliment her on anything other than her looks? This comic is trying to make some sort of point but it’s not making that point.
“You seem to be very determined and willing to get out of your comfort zone while asking for what you want.”
That might work. You should at least phrase it more positively: “You’re very brave.” Your version is more of a neutral observation IMHO.
You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.
That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.

3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I’d let someone else say it. Just hoped they’d be less condescending about it.
is that about looks or taste?
Do you determine color by looking or by tasting? (I’m being intentionally obstinate to a degree)
I only taste colors with gatoraid. purple is the best.
Gonna have to disagree. Light blue is best.
Skittles are offended.
Disagree. “Your looks” are features of you whereas your clothing and accessories are choices you make.
Okay, it’s a bit of a grey zone. Your clothes are definitely part of your look but they are also choices.
This is some contextual pedantry but: “your look” and “your looks” are not the same thing, which is why i make the distinction.
Less condescending? On the internet? Sir, that ship has unfortunately sailed years ago.
:(
She actually has terrible trigger discipline.
You have some serious balls to come in here and make demands like that.
Not sure if that’s actually better, but it’s not about looks.
It was drawn by someone who only gets compliments on their looks. It checks out.
Can’t believe Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) isn’t here already. Go watch Cowboy Bebop stat!
A pretty looking pistol???
