Why do some people react so rudely when you give them a compliment?

[Machismo]

It might make them nervous, but that wasn't the question. The question was why do they react rudely?

Because they don't like to be approached by creepy people.

It's not rocket science.

People in the same class/school

There was a day when you first got to school. All the other kids were strangers. How did you make friends with them if you never talked to strangers?

We were talking about talking to complete strangers on the street, not in school as a kid.

It's going to fail more often than succeed. Just because you only remember the 1 out of 100 times it worked, doesn't make it a good strategy.

lol of course it fails more often than it succeeds

what else do you expect?

most girls are gonna say no

always

You mentioned they "might not be available to guys at all". Available for what?

Talking.

Well if you're approaching you're hundreds of women a week

Where did I say hundreds of women a week?

If they said "I'm sorry this makes me uncomfortable", that wouldn't be rude behaviour. That's not what I'm talking about.

You're not entitled to people telling you they're sorry for not liking your behaviour. Your question has been answered 500 times by now. You act invasively, only a few people will react positively to it for whichever reason.

And like you yourself have miraculously said 'SOME PEOPLE'. This applies to everything. Some people are just rude assholes. Some people just don't like your behaviour, some people just aren't interested regardless of circumstances, some people x reason, some people y reason.

Your compliments aren't always going to be taken as compliments alone, but simply bait to get in their pants. And from your post history, it's an accurate notion.

And the OP wonders why he can't get laid without paying

Self-awareness is a wonderful thing

Walking up to a person you don't know and telling them they are cute isn't something normal people do.

Yeah you're right. The norm is for guys to not have the guts to do this. I'm definitely not normal in that regard. I'm proud of that.

The norm is to not be creepy about it. You still haven't figured that part out.

[Deleted]

You sound entitled as fuck. They don't owe you shit just because you complimented them or were nice.

What a dumb response. If you get a compliment and act like a cunt, you are a cunt. Has nothing to do with entitlement. Come back when you have an argument.

Most people don't. Or you wouldn't be bitching about all the negative feedback you get when you employ your creepy techniques.

Most people do. The people who react negatively are the minority. I'm just wondering why anyone would react that way. It makes no sense logically.

[Tiwack]

If you have a bad reputation of no honorable or redeeming qualities, people will have a harder time being diplomatic and practical instead of distrustful and in contempt of you, as you've proven to have ulterior motives and not act in good faith. All the compliments in the world can't change your image as your actions will always speak louder than your words ever will. A good gesture only gets you so far but means nothing if you don't back it up with action.

Define creepy.

If you get a compliment from a creepy dude, you are welcome to act like a cunt. Blaming others for your failings is a sign of a clear lack of maturity.

You talked about school.

Use the dictionary definition. Women find guys like you to be very creepy.

[Freighter]

You talked about school.

... You asked how people make friends if they don't talk to complete strangers on the street. You can't just ignore the context.

[Deleted]

I wonder, do you keep flinging the same insult at me to make yourself feel better about your own condition?

Ah... self-awareness.

So talking to strangers on the street = not ok

Talking to strangers in a building = ok

Why?

[Garnier Fructis]

You definitely ARE antisocial.

I'm not, actually. I interact just fine with people who I see on a recurring basis. I'm not mean or rude when I talk, and I'll hold a conversation as long as the other person wants to.

But what I don't like is talking to random people for no reason, especially if I have no expectation that I'll ever see them again.

If they said "I'm sorry this makes me uncomfortable", that wouldn't be rude behaviour. That's not what I'm talking about.

90% of the time when I'm out of my house, I'm busy. Just got off work, long shift, buying ice cream and ibuprofen, definitely do not want to talk to anyone, I'm highly charged anyway, my thoughts are a mile away, and an interruption might set me off.

Oh, shit, were you the guy who hit on me in line at Walgreens last week?

That's not what I said.

[McFuu]

People don't like when random people start talking about them in the middle of their day. It doesn't matter if what they are talking about is positive or not.
