I was complimented on a suit I was wearing by a woman last week. It was a conservative, navy, suit, but does happen to be very well made and of much higher quality than I tend to wear normally. (Stumbled on a sale). A woman just said “Wow, that’s a very nice looking suit. Most men have too much going on with the design or whatever, that just looks nice.” One, I was shocked, as I NEVER get compliments from women, or men for that matter. Two, it took me half a beat, but I just looked at her and said thank you, that was a nice thing to say.”

I didn’t take it as anything other than a nice thing to say. It also was directed at clothing and not something about me personally. But I don’t think I’d have taken it as hitting on me even if it was a more general “you look nice” as opposed to “that suit looks nice.” I dunno.

Haha. Compliments from the kids are great. More compliments from them by ten fold than I received in the 35 years prior to having them.

I disagree. I was complimented by an older woman that was not someone I find attractive, and frankly she probably doesn’t find me attractive, that I had a nice suit last week. This never happens to me. It is my favorite suit. And I agree with her. But because someone randomly complimented it, I am probably a lot less likely to ever get rid of it.

Ha. Interesting perspective.
