Would you consider this a generic compliment?

1. Yes.

2. Being called nice is a bit meh, but genuine is a great compliment!

3. Being called genuine is a W compliment, being called nice is p generic.

4. – I really trust your judgement
   – I really value your opinion
   – You have excellent taste
   – You have great insight
   – You can get along with anyone
   – You’re so passionate about what you

5. Compliments should be genuine and not because you want someone to like you.

6. If you mean it, make it a bit more personal, maybe try “You’ve got a great vibe about you, can’t help but enjoy your company” or something similar

7. “Genuine” is specific. “Nice” is broad and often arbitrary.

8. I’d use the line to let someone know they are ok but I’m just not interested. Of course they would have had to make at least a veiled attempt to get together.

9. It is generic, although the word “nice” is overused and underwhelming. Maybe pleasant/ engaging/ kind/ interesting/ gracious/ enjoyable/ considerate or courteous (some could be used especially if you’re referring to their conversational skills). It just may result in your compliment having a slightly more positive impact, making it more memorable.
