Women from each race demographic reacts differently to being spoke to and complimented by a random guy.
Age has a lot to do with reactions as well. For the most part, I do not compliment any demographic of women on their looks I believe is between the ages of 18 and 25 at my current age in life. There are exceptions, such as professional events, but not randomly. I’m an older guy to these younger women, so the creep factor is heighten slightly if I compliment them.
most women 30 and up love little compliments or chivalries like opening the door for them, ESPECIALLY if they have/had kids.
I’ve gotten the least amount of reaction from middle eastern and Asian women that are still very connect with their native culture.
I know how to read eyes and faces pretty well when it comes to people. Anxious women looks down when walking by me. I will not compliment them, but will speak by saying something like “I hope you’re doing well today” to try to ease their anxiousness.
In my opinion, if you’re catching consistent negative reactions, then that’s a you problem. Also, not every chick is looking to be complimented. Read their body language and respect their space. Don’t take it personal. While your intentions may be non-threatening and honest, they don’t know that.
I have zero issues with bad attitudes from black women when it comes to compliments. Plus, complimenting their hair, nails, shoes, or clothes goes way further for me. I pay attention to the thing they cared about that day. 95% of black women will take a hair compliment any day of the week even to the point of blushing.
