On Secrecy, Shrewdness, and Seeing through lies and hypocrisy

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>We are in high school, we are teenagers, and we want attention from the other sex. One way of achieving favor, especially for guys aiming at girls, is to complement the other on how pretty she looks. Females tend to be more vulnerable than their counterparts in succumbing to petty vanity, in my humble opinion. Now, picture yourself as a good-looking girl. A guy one day comments to you suddenly on AIM or CC during the middle of a conversation, that "you are hot".</p>

<p>What is the smart way to react?</p>

<p>1) Blush, type "thanks" and be nice to him for five minutes, and sound stupid.
2) Say "no duh" or "tell me something i don't know" and sound stupid.
3) Say "you too!!!!" and sound stupid.
FOUR) Respond with "stop saying that, I am average looking".</p>

<p>Logic dictates that the guy will start comforting you and convince you that you are beautiful. Logic also says that he will like you even more.</p>

<p>Same thing works for intelligence, talent, and whatever there is that's a quality of some sort. Prove me wrong.</p>

2

<p>if its on here, say u wish or tell me something i dont know</p>

3

<p>Girls who do 4) are extremely annoying</p>

4

<p>how about just saying thanks and then moving on with the convo</p>

5

<p>that's a good question. i would take choice number 5.) none of the above</p>

6

<p>I choose the first answer</p>

7

<p>People that are very attractive and do #4 are really annoying. This also applies to other skills/talents.</p>

8

<p>if i was a woman.....numba two</p>

9

<p>Yeah number 4 is a real turn off. Learn how to take a goddamn compliment!</p>

10

<p>I agree...just say thanks...and move on.</p>

11

<p>that's what i do :D</p>

12

<p>As a female, I'm going to suggest replacing "hot" with something else, because it honestly sounds like you're going for sex. Beautiful/gorgeous/amazing all work, though.</p>

13

<p>"adorable" usually works with me..it sounds so..endearing.</p>

14

<p>Exactly, hearing that you are hot is awkward.</p>

15

<p>how about... you are saucy</p>

16

<p>and sounds like the guy is an 8th grader.</p>

<p>no references deliberately made</p>

17

<p>sounds like someone's getting wasted before next week</p>

<p>no references deliberately made</p>

18

<p>Hearing that you are hot is especially awkward when you never hear it in real life.</p>

19

<p>...or online.</p>

<p>wait...not hearing it online is okay.</p>

20

<p>i pick 3:
3) Say "you too!!!!" and sound stupid.</p>
