Re: Oh my god

Ok, this is the situation:
- Celeste has no problem with this kind of flattery (see her blog)
- Your girlfriend has no problem with this kind of flattery
- Many (not all) others do have a problem with this kind of flattery,
and are feeling very uneasy in such an environment.

Short pointer to the blog of a prominent female KDE contributor:
http://canllaith.org/?p=4
and she's just one example out of many.

The fact that not all women are being scared away by this kind of comments doesn't mean that you can generalize it to all of the other ones. I mean,
- there's no gains for you in any case
- few women feel better with a million "you're so cute" comments
- a lot of women don't like it.

What's so difficult about just letting it be?
