Paying compliments is definitely a good thing!

None of us get as many compliments as we should - in fact, we mostly get the opposite (I'm looking at you, advertising industry...).

I think War's suggestion is an excellent one. I'm trying to put it into practice, in fact. My suggestion is simply that when in doubt, it can be helpful to phrase things subjectively in relation to how they make us feel, rather than calling on some sort of objective beauty/behavioral standards that might be misinterpreted.

Incidentally, everyone on this thread makes me feel really happy and optimistic about the future of humanity :) (was that OK?)

Do you not believe in beauty being subjective on its own?
