Here in Northern Michigan it is more of a general compliment, because you can't tell the men and women apart.
The compliments are usually,...Nice fish eh?
Or...nice Deer strike, good yob I tink, not too much meat damaged, eh? :? |

know the feeling roadhog....hmmm is that a man or a woman under all those layers.
Worked with a group once who never, ever saw me out of a pair of grimy coveralls & a hard hat...my long blonde hair was always encased in a hoody protecting me from the incessant wind. Then in the spring the push wondered who let a woman onto the lease (apparently there was some superstion about that), I laughed & said I'd been there all winter! I had been driving the water truck...funny took me a long time to convince them I'd been there all along in that shacked parked in the corner! :lol: :lol: :lol: |

roadhog ..
Quote: You slap him first and say "I want you to pay attention."
Then slap him again...to clear his mind.
Tell him your compliment...then slap him even harder... because you know he only heard what he wanted to hear.
Before he recovers...slap him a couple more times...just to be sure.
You crack me up dude .... oupsssss 8) I hope that isn't taken the wrong way ... :lol: :lol:
Seriously ~ if a Man opens the door for me - which is almost always at a TS ... I kindly look the man in the eyes and say .. 'Wow, there's still a Gentleman around, thank you" .. it always puts a smile on their face. I have no problem expressing my sincere 'thanks' for anything they may do ~ even if I have to ask for their assistance ... And if I am pulled toward their aftershave .. and it turns my head 8) .. I will ask them what their wearing and tell them it's very nice. Never have I ever had a problem with any Man ... once I've given a compliment. It's done without flirting and I don't believe they take it that way either... Men need to know their appreciated and look nice just as woman do ... :wink: ... I'm just being myself ... besides ... no one ever takes me serious anyway :lol: :lol: |

They openend doors for women, offered to help carry your groceries to your car, etc. I STILL appreciate all of that & STILL thank them kindly when they do! :D :D |
