Why is that when I man pays a married women a compliment, or even speaks to a married women, it could be something general like the weather or for example I was told today “I like your necklace”, and that was immediately followed by “looks like something my wife would wear."

It made me think, gone are the days of people paying people compliments without the need for “post-compliment” explanation.  Wasn’t there a time when you could tell someone they looked nice, or that you liked their shoes, or that you simply liked the cut of their jib without feeling obligated to throw in a safety net against coming off as hitting on or creepen out on someone?

Let it be known far and wide throughout the land that Tawny will gladly and wholeheartedly accept any and all compliments from anyone who is so inclined to throw her way.  And you don’t even have to add in “my girlfriend has a pair of boots like that” or “my wife would love your hair” or “let’s make out” whoa, whoa….ok that last one I threw in for giggles.

So, fellas, ladies, pay people compliments, do it as often as the mood strikes you.  You are making someone’s day a little brighter and how could there be anything wrong with that.  Unless you truly mean it, don’t feel the need to add in that “post-compliment” safety net. 

I speak for myself when I say that as long as you’re not 3 millimeters away from my face when you say it, feel free to tell me something good any time you want.   Channing Tatum is the only one allowed to pay me compliments that close to my face, or maybe even Megan Fox….just sayin
