I mean, no compliments are not off the table. But it’s a pitiful shame if men don’t know the difference between a compliment that highlights a woman’s character or abilities versus one that remarks on her physicality. Furthermore, men have got to become more advanced in their conversation when it comes to women. Stop relying on compliments as a way to flatter her or strike up a conversation.

No. The reliance on compliments speaks to the fact that for so many men, women are reduced to objects instead of being seen as fully functioning human beings.
