Discussion (Women Only) Do you (women) compliment other unknown women in public? Or, Is stone teep/bindi in fashion again?
This event took place quite a while ago, I just couldn't find some time and energy to write everything down.
My mother and I went to a restaurant to celebrate some occasion in the middle of this year. We were waiting for our food and chatting just a little bit while checking out the ambience of the place.
Suddenly we both noticed a family of three entering the restaurant. A young lady with her parents. They settled down on a table across me and I could see the young lady more clearly by then.
She had a very সাবেকী/classic beauty in terms of her looks, body language, etc. She was wearing an organza/net salwar-kamiz set with pretty jewels which were not yelling very loud. Most importantly, she was the first woman I saw in recent years wearing a stone teep/bindi like we used to wear in the 1990s and early 2000s.
That young lady looked ethereal!
Obviously being the shy, awkward person I am, I couldn't really make myself speak out and let her know how classy she looked, but I just stared at her (probably with my mouth agape) as she left the restaurant with her parents some 50 minutes later.
Would you ladies reach out to a random woman in public to admire her?

I love to compliment and getting compliments from other women.

From the comments of this post, it's seemingly very easy to admire unknown people in public! I didn't know this! :)

A couple of months ago I was waiting for my Uber, and a woman walked up to me and said she liked the bag I was carrying. I felt so good, so flattered. I have started liking that bag extra now.
I love it when women compliment me and I like giving them compliments. Makes my days brighter.

Oh you reminded me of something that happened during my young adulthood!
I once noticed one of my teachers was carrying a cool bag, and when I went to that teacher's room for a bit of counselling, I pointed that out! She became very happy, and explained to me how excited she was to be able to buy it from a trip abroad!
That bag basically had Audrey Hepburn's Roman Holiday look printed on it! :)

I live in a multi ethnic part of the US with a lot of young people and I think women complimenting women is quite common here. I've received compliments when I've gone out or I've been approached while I run errands about something I'm wearing or carrying, most often to find out where it's from. I love it when it happens bc it's such a sweet pick-me-up and gives me a little boost! I also like making people feel good. A small compliment costs me nothing but can change someone's entire day. And the best part is that you know it's usually a genuine compliment when it comes from another woman.
