When I saw her post she was asking why she never gets compliments and my thoughts are I think guys are more worried about how the come off while doing that due to how sensitive people are these days?
I saw a post from a girl asking why she doesn’t get many compliments, I think it is more because guys are fearful of being scorned?

I dont tend to compliment strangers, not because im worried theyre sensitive but because theyre strangers and I dont feel the need to get in their business.
I will compliment people i know and I dont think the way I approach that has changed.
You’ll find people wolf whistling and cat calling less, but its arguable if thats really intended as a compliment.
Hmm. I haven’t noticed this personally, I get loads of compliments, every day practically. Just put some effort into your appearance, brush your hair and wear nice clothes, people love to give random compliments it seems. Especially women. But those are going to be compliments about your efforts, like “I love your necklace!” Or, “that dress looks amazing on you”.
If she’s looking for compliments like, “you’re so pretty” etc, she should get a bf. Because strangers aren’t going to comment on your appearance, as a society we’ve literally been taught not to. Don’t comment on anything they can’t change about themselves, right?
It handsome guys that she complaines about never getting compliments from.
If it was ugly ones she would consider it harassment.
I mean its not surprising, giving someone a compliment is likely to be seen as flirting
As others have said already, a woman reserves the right to either call you feral and a creep if she finds you unattractive where she would not say the same for a guy she finds hot who did the same thing. How can you determine which you are in her eyes? By approaching and risking being called a feral stalker.
Back in the day if a woman didn’t find you attractive after approaching her she would simply say “not interested” and that would be the end of it. Today you risk having your photo uploaded to social media and being called a toxic predator.
The risks outweigh the benefits.
Same as always
Women gets treated bad by bad dude, tells dudes to not do what bad guy did, only dudes who listen are good dudes who dont wanna bother you, guarantees women only get more interactions with bad dudes because they never cared to stop in the first place.
I don’t know, I get compliments from women almost every day. Maybe from men like once a week? But it’s always about my clothes. And it’s not sexual in nature at all. So people are still complimenting people.
Because women have been very clear that they wanna be left alone by men
