So even though I started the thread for Serpent7, it took me a while to decide what my response would be. Like many of you, I found the options he chose rather... difficult to place myself in.
There are several breeds of men when it comes to manners. There's the one that states blatantly and rudely (as though there is something horribly wrong or naughty about it) that they are able to look down your shirt/bathing suit... I assume that it is also this kind that hollers loudly at you while you're walking down the street or honks or otherwise draws unnecessary attention to you.
Then there are the kind that do their best to ignore and turn bright red in the process.
Then, of course, there are the ones that I like the best. They're the ones who notice a beautiful woman, realize that you're showing a bit of skin for their gentle favor, and -- yes-- they make a comment. I'm not speaking of an intimidating, loud, obnoxious comment or cat-call. I'm talking about something very unique... something that requires an increidble amount of tact and dignity. Something that most men are incapable of - but something I have experienced a couple of times. When the passing man whispers into your ear, "You are so beautiful," then disappears in the crowd.
Now there is a compliment to be treasured.
It is not freaky. It is not a sexual advance. It is a comment. And it is one that has the ability to speed the pulse and give you a confidence you couldn't anticipate.
