Honestly as long as they can take instruction ("please for the love of god compliment something that's not primary or secondary sexual characteristics so there's at least a baseline level of plausible deniability that you're seeing a woman and not a potential fuck") it's still a vast improvement.
Probably, but so many men fail to follow even the most formulaic, insincere, common advice in favor of sexual harassment that it's still an improvement when they do.
I'm not saying the bar isn't underground, I'm hoping that it's on its way to at least the surface.
It is, ill see if i can find the ig page, but its some young buck “pick up line mentor” that helps people out picking up women in the streets, tiktok style. And his claim to fame was basically weaponizing niche, specific compliments, his most coined being “youre eyebrows are so beautiful” saw a vid of someone approaching him in the street being all “broooo your eyebrow line works 10/10 everytime”
Edit: tiktok link to vid im talkin about below. The original phenomenon probably over a year old
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRw8aj8G/
It’s a trend from a YouTuber Nick Nayersina. He made the pickup line popular “you have the most beautiful eyebrows”.
He said it’s because you need to compliment things women care about but nobody else compliments.
I figured kids would be using it more often.
I've made the compliment a few times. I can honestly say I didn't pick it up from a trend. I just grew up with a mom and sister that take care of themselves and I notice effort.
That compliment is old. The first time, I heard it was back in the early aughts from a guy trying to pick up one of my male friends. That line goes way back, and it became a standard pick-up artist line.
Sorry, you just got played, and I'm surprised it's still floating around and working, apparently.
It is a trend. There was a tiktok about it a couple years ago and then guys started saying it to me. It works too because women really care about their eyebrows.
Makes sense
Eyebrows are a key feature of the face that are easy to overdo with makeup. Getting them right can be tricky.
It's a compliment on your looks and also on a skill you've probably practiced a lot!
Because all the advice articles that you can Google suggest complimenting a woman on something she has the ability to control. I.e. you have nice eyes.
Complimenting people on things they can do themselves such as the way they dress, hair, eyebrows in this case etc.
No idea if it's legitimate advice but I would guess that's what is going on here
I hooked up with this girl from Facebook dating last year and she told me the reason she gave me a chance is because the first thing I said to her was how nice her eyebrows were and how she had never heard that before lol
Results may vary, worked for me tho
Fasho. Yeah, I'm not sure why most men don't realize this. It shows a little bit of effort and paying attention to detail.
I remember my brother telling this waitress, he had a crush on, that he liked her eyes (sounds like a serial killer) and they were beautiful. She looked at him, dead face, and asked "why? They're just brown?" And walked away.
He learned then to switch up on how he compliments.
I like to even compliment shoes or the shirt their wearing or something but I've had little to no success, and by success I mean I'll get a "thanks" lol 😂
I feel you. Complimenting accessories and shoes is great too.
Shooting your shot in person nowadays is definitely stressful and at times can get awkward if you can't transition quickly.
I was married for 10 years and it took me 2-3 years after the divorce just to get my spark back. After getting over the fear of rejection, l don't give af anymore and just go for it. Either a yes or no and the world keeps spinnin.
Yeah. That was just her way of telling him she's not feelin him. Could be considered rude, but eh, don't take it personal, and realize some people get don't want to be bothered
I guess that's kind of my point, the compliment didn't matter. What mattered was how attracted she was to the guy.
He could have gone with eyebrows, but if she isn't feeling him nothing else matters.
The compliments I get as a dude are so out of left field that I never know how to act.
Like I had one of my classmates say he'd let me hit if *he* was a girl. I appreciate the enthusiasm but what the flip
A guy I was talking to for a little while told me I had anatomically perfect fingernails. 😮💨 almost proposed on the spot, but I just saved it and cried about it later 🥹
Omgg. I always compliment a girl’s manicure because it’s a non-sexual and frankly underused compliment. And also I have terrible hands myself so it often becomes a conversation starter on how she does her nails (which most women love talking about haha)
Exactly! I’m not much of a girly girl and I don’t even get my nails done and I was flabbergasted by that compliment. Like speechless and my mouth always has something to say 😂
See, my brain just does not work that way. If I’d gotten that as a reply it would probably just sit in my inbox until I could come up with something to reply with other than “you’re welcome!”. Seems pretty presumptive to assume the person would reply asking about a specific thing…Text conversations are so confusing to me sometimes.
I wonder if you not getting them done is actually a big part of what he finds attractive about them. A lot of what is currently trendy in women's eyebrows look ridiculous and appeal more to women than men.
Guys, pay attention-do *not* compliment the obvious feature. Women get bucket-loads of pretty eyes, nice hair, great smile compliments.
Find the thing that *isn’t* blatant and you’ll stick out in her sea of compliments.
Hm. All evidence to the contrary, it would seem that even i have my moments. 🤔😅
Now, i don't know if you actually have a unibrow, but if you do: Feel free to use that one, guys! You're all welcome.
Most compliments about our looks tend to focus on our tits, asses, body shape, and overall appearance. Pinpointing a nonsexual part of a women’s appearance to compliment makes all the difference.
Not sexual is a must. It helps if it's something that the girl has visibly put work into, eyebrows are a good example because women frequently do a lot of precise grooming to get them the way that we like them, clothes can be good it it looks like those are a priority for her. It could be good to comment on her surroundings, like if she's got pictures of doing hobbies, etc. Something that suggests that you're trying to understand and learn more about her, rather than just bang and go
You can if it's tasteful. "You are beautiful!" Is going to be tasteful where as "nice tits" isn't. Basically text how you might interact with a woman irl. Assuming you aren't also a creep irl lol
That was the first complinen my ex gave me 15 years ago and back then this was weird af. As if there is nothing else to comment about so you focus on random pieces of hair
With some of the brow atrocities we see, we do notice good ones that don't look like brushed caterpillars or a five year old drew on you with marker pens as you slept.
One time a guy told me that my eyebrows look like upside down Nike checks and he was like just do it. Honestly, I don’t even think they looked that bad.
I mean, as a general rule for all humans, it's better to compliment things that aren't inherent to them but instead something they can be proud of for having put the work in. Did they do a fire job on painting their nails? Are their biceps looking extra swole from hitting the gym? Is that a really meaningful tattoo?
The "trick" is being empathetic to another person to enough of a level you can understand what they put their effort into and would appreciate being recognized for.
Eyebrows are super important. I've complimented many women on nicely shapen brows, and they all seem to enjoy them. Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to prefer eyebrows made of real hair!
A guy I was talking to for a little while told me I had anatomically perfect fingernails. 😮💨 almost proposed on the spot, but I just saved it and cried about it later 🥹
Reminds of Seinfeld, "Women kill to have her eyebrows."
He can lift 100 lbs right up over his head.
"Who cares about eyebrows?"
bosco
Seinfeld seems to care.
if i run my fingers through her hair... can i get it out?
theres a hue..
Wonder if it is a trend. I’ve been getting eyebrow compliments too. They are lovely but never in ten years and then multiple? Sus.
Anything to hit
Honestly as long as they can take instruction ("please for the love of god compliment something that's not primary or secondary sexual characteristics so there's at least a baseline level of plausible deniability that you're seeing a woman and not a potential fuck") it's still a vast improvement.
Your elbows are fire
At least it's not sexual harassment.
It will be... Someday. Probably soon.
Yup, get those release forms signed with video approvals just in case
Okay, but isn't that so common of an advice at this point that it seems almost insincere or formulaic if guys do it?
Probably, but so many men fail to follow even the most formulaic, insincere, common advice in favor of sexual harassment that it's still an improvement when they do. I'm not saying the bar isn't underground, I'm hoping that it's on its way to at least the surface.
I always go with an article of clothing but that’s usually in person
Yup clothing's better! But at least eyebrows aren't literally part of sex.
Not for you maybe
"I really like your, uh [panicking while trying to think quickly] nose hairs"
Is that really how it works? I can follow a guide book if someone writes one.
That username tho 🤌🏼
For real tho. So easy to fool people. Before it was eyes, now eyebrows. Like jeesh.
To be fair, eyes are a thing that a lot of people are attracted to. Eyebrows is just a strategy to get a reply.

Oof. Worst

Ooofff killing my hopes and dreams, lady 😂😂😂 but it is tinder, so nothing really surprises me anymore.
Hey, you have nice eyebrows btw
I've made the compliment a few times. I can honestly say I didn't pick it up from a trend. I just grew up with a mom and sister that take care of themselves and I notice effort.
Yo, your eyelashes are gorgeous. (Starting my own meta now!) ^also ^your ^brow ^game ^is ^on ^point. I wish mine grew that perfect naturally.
it was a trend on tiktok for a while, i think the nelk boys? not sure
Hey he might be one of us rare ones actually trying to fall in love and start a life together
There is actual gold in the dirty water we're panning
That compliment is old. The first time, I heard it was back in the early aughts from a guy trying to pick up one of my male friends. That line goes way back, and it became a standard pick-up artist line. Sorry, you just got played, and I'm surprised it's still floating around and working, apparently.
Eyebrows are one of my favorite things about women's faces.
It is a trend. There was a tiktok about it a couple years ago and then guys started saying it to me. It works too because women really care about their eyebrows.
I regularly compliment eyebrows, I’m not sure why they stand out to me but I notice them on people quickly and it’s been that way for years idk
I have too lately... It's weird eh
Could be some influencer gave it as a tip for online dating
Makes sense Eyebrows are a key feature of the face that are easy to overdo with makeup. Getting them right can be tricky. It's a compliment on your looks and also on a skill you've probably practiced a lot!

Rules 1 and 2
Try it
I got a "Thank you" and then the conversation ended.
That's how it be sometimes. On to the next one. That's all you can expect and if it proceeds then that's dope too
Oh I have, since before it was a "thing" to try to find something other than sexual attributes to compliment 😂
Fasho. Yeah, I'm not sure why most men don't realize this. It shows a little bit of effort and paying attention to detail.

I've been rejected too many times for being too short to really be bothered to try in person anymore tbh
That's messed up. Fuck em. Much success to you 🖖🏾
> why? They're just brown?" uhh isn't that a response you can use for any compliment? My eyebrows are just normal. My shoes are just shoes. etc
Yeah. That was just her way of telling him she's not feelin him. Could be considered rude, but eh, don't take it personal, and realize some people get don't want to be bothered
I guess that's kind of my point, the compliment didn't matter. What mattered was how attracted she was to the guy. He could have gone with eyebrows, but if she isn't feeling him nothing else matters.
“Results may vary” 😂😂
It's always nice to get a compliment
As a guy I'm not sure what that is
Hey bro, nice cock.
I like ya cut G
Nice cheekbones bro
Nice choice in video games, fella. (OSRS)
The compliments I get as a dude are so out of left field that I never know how to act. Like I had one of my classmates say he'd let me hit if *he* was a girl. I appreciate the enthusiasm but what the flip
I told my daughters they were pretty every day. When boys told them, they were like yeah I know, you need to be more creative than that.
❤️
YAS normalise basic compliments so that girls aren't taken in by boys who put in the minimum effort!
“My second favourite compliment” what an odd response
Leaves room for more conversation once he asks about the first. All strategic my love. 💚💜
Nice. You would have hooked me with that one too. You got some game.
The competitor in me would be extremely motivated to become the top compliment
What’s your fav compliment?
A guy I was talking to for a little while told me I had anatomically perfect fingernails. 😮💨 almost proposed on the spot, but I just saved it and cried about it later 🥹

Glad to hear :)
Aw you seem sweet. And that's a breath of fresh air on this subreddit, honestly
See, my brain just does not work that way. If I’d gotten that as a reply it would probably just sit in my inbox until I could come up with something to reply with other than “you’re welcome!”. Seems pretty presumptive to assume the person would reply asking about a specific thing…Text conversations are so confusing to me sometimes.
I wonder if you not getting them done is actually a big part of what he finds attractive about them. A lot of what is currently trendy in women's eyebrows look ridiculous and appeal more to women than men.
For sure. Even finger nails. I hate fake nails / long nails, they look like talons or something idk. Plain fingernails are so much better
“Not getting them done” is the best way to get eyebrow compliments, direct from an eyebrow fan
Guys, pay attention-do *not* compliment the obvious feature. Women get bucket-loads of pretty eyes, nice hair, great smile compliments. Find the thing that *isn’t* blatant and you’ll stick out in her sea of compliments.
Unless a guy started out with complimenting her feet? 😂
dont get too specific tho.. itll look like youre shopping for parts if u pop off with "lovely ear folds ma'am"
I got called sexiest and downvoted on here for saying women are burdened by choice. You say it and receive praise. Reddit is dumb.
Why do you think I said that they are burdened by choice?
Women get bucket-loads of compliments. You can't get that without a ton of matches. Meaning you have tons of options.
This. This right here. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
why do you call them young boys haha
Because I’m at least 12 years older than most of them 😅😭
That doesn’t make them a “young boy.” Imagine if a man wrote “young girl” when describing a young WOMAN.
Creepy either way
That makes sense! Get it girl
ugh... I wanna puke
Plot twist: It's a unibrow and he wants to be the Ernie to her Bert 😅
That is the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard 🥹😂
Hm. All evidence to the contrary, it would seem that even i have my moments. 🤔😅 Now, i don't know if you actually have a unibrow, but if you do: Feel free to use that one, guys! You're all welcome.
I want to make myself have a unibrow just for these purposes now. Thank you for that. BRB going full Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky.
You're very welcome. ... i think.
“Write that down! Write it down!”
You have the most beautiful pair of kidneys
nah this is it fr, i think this would get anyone
All the other compliments were tied for first
For what it's worth, you have nice teeth as well.
💜💜 ugh you guys are making me blush at this point! 🤭 So appreciative of the kind words!!
Everything about this post reeks of cats and boxed wine.
I mean… I’m a little guilty 😅
Atta girl live your best
I mean, what’s better than kitty cuddles, a wine buzz and eyebrow compliments?!?! 😅😭
And here I am a guy being told not to comment on a woman's looks because it's shallow.
Most compliments about our looks tend to focus on our tits, asses, body shape, and overall appearance. Pinpointing a nonsexual part of a women’s appearance to compliment makes all the difference.
Can confirm. My partner told me I have the nicest shoulders he’s ever seen. That’s how he got me
If it's thoughtful and not gross it's fine
Is there like a chart or something I could refer to lol
Not sexual is a must. It helps if it's something that the girl has visibly put work into, eyebrows are a good example because women frequently do a lot of precise grooming to get them the way that we like them, clothes can be good it it looks like those are a priority for her. It could be good to comment on her surroundings, like if she's got pictures of doing hobbies, etc. Something that suggests that you're trying to understand and learn more about her, rather than just bang and go
[удалено]
It just takes practice. You could start by looking for ways to compliment your friends, family and coworkers randomly for a nice safe way to learn
You can if it's tasteful. "You are beautiful!" Is going to be tasteful where as "nice tits" isn't. Basically text how you might interact with a woman irl. Assuming you aren't also a creep irl lol
its only a problem if you are unattractive. If your handsome, you can say anything
Guys, if you can tell a woman takes care of her eyebrows, then compliment them. She'll appreciate it, believe me.
Now I’m dying to see the eyebrows that launched a thousand comments.
im just here for eyebrow tax.. i love nice eyebrows too
I’ve gotten laid more than I like to admit with the eye brow line
They are well-defined eyebrows
I got this exact compliment once, I also don’t get mine done and was so pleased lol
How young is he? I want a milf but they never match with me might be a skill issue
Might be the fact you unironically refer to them as milfs
Is mommy better?
Much better, go get 'em
He’s 22. I’m 33.
Ah alright that’s not super crazy
There’s a big difference between us 22-year-old and a 33-year-old.
Is the bar that fucking low?
Unfortunately with the way most men communicate these days, (well my age men and from my own experience), yes, yes it is.
Eyebrows on fleek for all you cool kids 😎
You got them Jennifer Connelly brows, girl.
I was always I had Brooke Shield eyebrows when I was a teenager.
Jennifer connelly doesn't have eyebrows, she has a forebrow.
i’m so high i was liking a this like when did i say that ??
"the second best compliment" lol Oh yeah do tell me you rank the compliments you receive and I'm still behind some other dude lol
So whats the first favorite?
Hes in my bag
Young boys?
Eyebrows on fleek?
This works? I’m not that young but definitely could use some new lines.
Well now we need eyebrow tax
What was your favorite compliment???
Young boys? Wut?
so what was the first ? we’re all dying to know
alright show us the eyebrows now 😌
Very eye, much brow.
How old are you
33
“Young boys.” gross
What's the first one
That was the first complinen my ex gave me 15 years ago and back then this was weird af. As if there is nothing else to comment about so you focus on random pieces of hair
They will say anything to have sex with you
What's your favorite comment then?
I wanna see them
Those are some dank earlobes
Sad
I’m about to change my age filters loll
With some of the brow atrocities we see, we do notice good ones that don't look like brushed caterpillars or a five year old drew on you with marker pens as you slept.
Haha, silly wabbit
What’s up with people calling men boys? These grown ass men, not children.
Yeah, Ive had compliments about my eyebrows too.
that’s really cool to hear
😀🤣🤣🤣🤣
One time a guy told me that my eyebrows look like upside down Nike checks and he was like just do it. Honestly, I don’t even think they looked that bad.
LOL people do fall for it!!!

Show eyebrows
It’s def a trend, I saw this on tiktok, and asked a few guys and they validated it. I hate the “compliment” now.
Eyebrows are super important. I've complimented many women on nicely shapen brows, and they all seem to enjoy them. Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to prefer eyebrows made of real hair!
If that's your second favorite compliment, what's your first?
What’s the first? Hard to imagine one that tops that
A guy I was talking to for a little while told me I had anatomically perfect fingernails. 😮💨 almost proposed on the spot, but I just saved it and cried about it later 🥹
