Piss a man off today: Tell him you agree with his compliment of you.

@FeministaJones This dude, trying to talk to me at a bus station last summer: "You're very pretty."

Me: "I know. Thanks."

@FeministaJones I responded "I know" to a compliment once, and the guy got soooooo nasty afterwards

@FeministaJones LOL one of my fave past times since college:
Dude: "You're beautiful"
Me: "I know."
Dude: "!!! ugly bitch"
Like, I have a mirror lol byee

@DetroitQSpider @FeministaJones @absurdistwords Because for some reason women are required to be beautiful, but also oblivious to it.

@DetroitQSpider @obbiecole @FeministaJones @absurdistwords One Direction sang a whole song about it. Which I embarrassingly thought was real catchy until I actually thought about it

@Kari_T_ @absurdistwords @DetroitQSpider @obbiecole @FeministaJones Oh you mean "your crippling negative self-image makes you beautiful"

Great song

@ParSpec @Kari_T_ @absurdistwords @obbiecole @FeministaJones most pop songs are like this, if you really listen

@DetroitQSpider @Kari_T_ @absurdistwords @obbiecole @FeministaJones "I have decided that I would be a better owner/caretaker than your current one. Kindly stop wasting my time and get on this D." Charming.

@ImInMyOwn @FeministaJones @issayoungash When you reply to a catcall compliment with I know, the guy thinks you're conceited and then usually feels the need to put u in your place.

@FeministaJones If you don't respond with a blush and a giggle you're likely to shatter his fragile ego. Fun - as long as you're at a safe distance.

@FeministaJones Its funny because when women compliment each other, and we come with the confidence, we celebrate it. #CelebrateConfidence

@FeministaJones @Waliyadeniran It's insecurity. Some people feel that you should even be grateful that they are giving you a compliment. That's wrong. Praise is selfless.
