1. They're fishing for compliments and only deny it so that they can hear you say stuff like "you're pretty" or whatever again.
2. They really don't agree with you and either don't say anything or argue with you because they really do disagree.
3. Maybe they don't want your compliments (which they would be crazy) because they don't like you or something? There are only 2 guys that I really don't like that I know I would deny a compliment from...
4. They may just not want to accept your compliment because of some different reason...who knows...gimme another few days and i'll come up with some more reasons...(now that i'm done babbling...)
(Yes, you are done babbling. Correct babbling, but babbling nonetheless. I would be impressed if you managed to come up with more answers to that, though. You babbled out just about everything there is to say about that. Except for that other stuff.)
LilMangaGirl: .....for some reason, I kind of think...this question is somewhat directed towards me... just a little ...maybe... ...and I.. The reason is.. that I wonder if you mean it. I never know. But I will tell you this, V., your compliments mean the most to me. (Ex: living anime character..ect..) Yours stick out the most at times... thank you.
(At first I debated posting this, as I thought it was too personal. Then I decided it must be just a brilliant job of sarcasm, since I am a horrible bastard and never say anything I mean. Except this. But then, how can you be sure?)
(Valdreag, you were doing so well... Why would you screw it up by instilling doubt?)-YugDung
isisincognito: Because they're too worried about how fat and ugly they feel to appreciate what could possibly be a truly heartfelt compliment.
(What if they ARE fat and ugly though? Shouldn't they be happy that someone likes them for what they are? )
Reverend Two Sheds: Its just them playing hard to get, so that way you (the male) try harder to make them feel better, they live for compliments. It all leads up to one thing, they want our essence, our man juice. They are like vampires, they are life suckers. And they love compliments. "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?"
(Funnily enough, that one has never worked for me. I must not have gotten the inflections just right.)
2cool4school: Why do girls not like compliments: Well, I personally think that when you say "You look really nice today." they interpret it as "You look a lot better than you
usually do. I mean usually you usually look like shit,
so..." something like that. Ya know?
(Yes, I do know. That's why I asked the question in the first place, genius. Maybe you should go to school if you ask me things like that. Although, I must admit, I have a feeling you hit the nail right on the head with the whole looking like shit thing. That's sp typically female.)
(You are wise beyond your years indeed, 2cool4school. That almost makes me want to never go to my Adv. Algebra class and play pool instead.)-YugDung
