I have to agree. I was at work... and a woman approached me and told me that I was beautiful. I said "thank you".. you know, a little embarrased... and she said "you don't have to thank me, I believe people should be told when someone thinks something nice about someone"... I just thought that was so sweet!
Then again..... I go to the opposite end of the spectrum sometimes. For instance... if someone I know gets a really bad haircut, and they seem unhappy and selfconscience about it..... I'll go up and say "I like you hair"..... just to make her feel OK. Is that wrong?


> Maybe it's something about older women. I was standing in a line for a bathroom at a concert and a quite elderly woman looked at me and reached up suddenly as if to touch and said "oh what a beautiful necklace." I think that these encounters are unanticipated is half the treat. I also thought at the time how nice to be so unself-conscious. There are advantages to being elderly.
