In reply to the discussion: Six tips for men about "Compliments" [View all]doc03
(35,148 posts)29. So I was at the gym a while back and a lady I barely knew said
that shirt looks great it matches your blue eyes. Should I turn her in to the gym manager for sexual harassment?
Another lady I know had just got a new bike rack on her car, I commented that I really liked her rack. She joked
and said Don said he likes my rack to a couple others that were there. Just saying it is not always the man that is
guilty. Sometimes women will make those little remarks giving a guy the green light
to say or do something even jokingly and they get in trouble.
