How would you take it if a girl told you you “clean up nice”?

20 comments

1. It’s a compliment. But doesn’t mean she wants you, unless you can tell.

2. I am handy with a mop

3. If I say to someone they scrub up well, I’m saying they look different in a good way.

   100% it isn’t flirting or hitting on them.

4. It’s kind of a boiler plate compliment when you see someone dressed up that doesn’t normally dress up. I wouldn’t read anything beyond small talk into it without other cues.

5. Poop now so i dont have to later

6. That I normally don’t dress to impress and on that particular occasion I actually went out of my way to be presentable.

   Would I think she was hitting on me? That would really be dependent on the situation. But for the most part, No.

7. Flattered and no. Only if she says it whilst touching me would i think she is hitting on me. Other than that they have noticed I no longer look like i am unkempt and homeless.

8. It’s a very generic compliment, would never attach meaning to it

9. Definitely it’s a compliment.

10. It’s a compliment.

    Compliments don’t mean she’s hitting on you. Friends and strangers compliment each other, they don’t (necessarily) then have sex with each other.

    Stop reading into compliments and take them at face value

11. It means you don’t typically take care or yourself, but when you do you’re actually quite handsome. Now start taking care of yourself, it’s a wake up call.

12. I’d probably take it pretty well because I know that I don’t put a lot of effort into my appearance most days. I shave and shower and wear clean clothes but that’s about it.

13. Shit I had a guy at work tell me this the other day and I’ll still think about it for years.

14. I’d automatically assume being nice unless you were pinching your nipples

15. Depends. Coming from most people I’d take that as a diss.

16. That’s a compliment but not necessarily her hitting on you

17. No?

    Why would I assume she is hitting on me?

    I do clean up nicely, it’s called fashion sense.

18. It’s a bland compliment. If it bothers you respond by telling her that the outfit that she is wearing is very slimming.

19. I’d consider it a type of negging

    And thus, in general, would put less stock into the gal

20. Shit. Shower. Shave. No denim. No tee shirt. Something collared. And think about wearing a sport coat. No tennis shoes. Wear a GD belt.
    My wife and I always shake our heads when we see a guy on a date with a girl and she has taken the time to get herself looking good. And the guys is in jeans a tee and flip flops, unshaven. Talk about an insult to the girl.
