Looking for both logical and emotional reinforcements, from casual acquaintances to intimate partners, and any orientation if not especially, everyone matters.
Frame it as a “friend” if you’d like, but I would like to know what made an impactful impression on you personally, above and beyond any hypothetical.
Agreed. To expand on this, I’d also add that complementing choices is often better than complimenting their body. Edit: particularly if you don’t know them very well.
For example, the “that outfit makes you look good” really is implying they didn’t look good before, but also “I love that sweater” is complimenting their stylistic decisions, regardless of what their body looks like.
Focus on the person and their personality, not their biology.
