      ADHD here, after years of studying behavior from normies in order to emulate/mask, this is easily one of the best answers here.

      Sometimes brutal honesty is the answer.

    “Your nose is your cutest feature, that’s why I chose it” is the correct response

        Did you fall from heaven? Because your face is really fucked up.

        (this one is so stupid and obviously inappropriate that I laugh each time I imagine someone saying it)

          Imagine answering the plastic surgery question with “The left side? Did you get burnt badly or something? It looks kind of wonky.”

      “You seemed like a person who would have a wizard’s sleeve situation down there.”

      “Wtf it was my ears”

      “So is the situation down there not fixed or what do you mean?”

      “How do you know what my labia looks like…?”

      Then get called a creep and shouted at.

      I’m just saying that you’d deserve if that was your answer.

      How would anyone be supposed to know that?

      Also isn’t asking for compliments generally a bad thing?

        Ehh for some it’s natural to understand, for some it’s learned, for some it’s off the radar completely.

        Asking for compliments is fine but people are insecure so they do it indirectly.

        “How do you like this dress/these pants/this whatever” would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them. But they would be uncomfortable with asking, “can you compliment this …”

        You’re right that it’s not <good> communication. It’s super taxing for me as i’m in the learned group edging on off the radar(i naturally interpret teasing as bullying). So i just try to compliment people regularly at least once every time i spend time with them to make up for it. More on dates and in relationships.

          I try to compliment people regularly too but if they ask a question I would answer it honestly.

          I also feel like I’ve been told that I shouldn’t ask for compliments because it’s rude when I was a child. However I can’t remember who said it to me.

            It can depend on the person so it’s a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I’m speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.

            Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you’re being an incessant little dictator?

          How do you like this dress/these pants/this whatever” would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them.

          I am 42 years old, married for 15 years, together with my wife for >23 years. And this is the first time I realize that she doesn’t really mean the clothing but is fishing for a compliment. It never occurred to me, and it seriously is blowing my mind.

          Edit: rotfl, all the occasions she asked me this kind of question suddenly make sense. Damn, I think I have to apologize.

            Lol took me until my 30’s. This is the problem with modern masculinity, we are not taught about social norms. So those of us who have trouble with them struggle. In any case, I hope you and your wife are better for the realization!

    Insist, not to pick something then. You can easily explain that it’s a lose-lose: either something is wrong with a natural body part or they didn’t do a good job. And both of you feel bad afterwards.

    “Oooh, I don’t know. Maaaaybeee your lips, because I can’t stop looking at them. But if you did, then your doctor is really good.

    Deliver it light and kind of flirty and she’s not thinking about whatever trap that question is, she’s thinking about how you just told her you want to kiss her.

    If it’s for any other reason - making sure an insecurity is unknown, wanting to springboard into a conversation, wanting to see how you react if she baits you into saying something dumb, or even having her own flirty line to deliver about it - she’ll probably get to it. Assuming you haven’t wooed her into a voracious make out session.

    “Honestly? You look so naturally beautiful I couldn’t begin to guess. But if I had to, I’d say your most captivating thing about you is your eyes. Are they the real deal or someone fashion them from starlight?”

    Did they do work on your face to make you less cute? Because I think they botched it.
