Do you disapprove of flattery when it's directed at..?

No, I think it's nice for someone to be flattered.

What I think is strange is how many people resent it, on this forum. Such as when someone is getting too much attention (like today with Mr. Zane) and all the girls swooned but the guys didn't like it at all.

Why be resentful because you aren't the one getting the attention and flattery?

Same with flirtation questions/answers on here; they often get deleted. And I think it's not because any "rules" are broken, it's because people get bitter if it's not aimed at them.

Human nature, I guess. But I don't understand it.

I disapprove flattery when it's manipulative (most of the time). The problem is that it's always easier to recognize flattery directed at others than flattery directed at yourself. That's why we are so vulnerable.

I disapprove of it when he is doing it to other guys that aren't his family. I could care less as far as women go. It isn't that I'm jealous, I just don't like my bf giving too much flattery to any guy but me. I should be the center of his world.

No!

I disagree with flaterry when its not sincere. Like so often people act in the region I live. "MN nice"

I think its rude to false represent or present comments that are not true just to get someone, some thing, or represent something, when its based on a lie, or spoof, to make people inflate their ego to inturn have another inflate that persons ego.

I hate fake pleasantries/exchanges.

Yes, unless with a negative purpose. Flattering is a way to make people smile even when they know it's exaggerated and it's funny. There's no harm in it.

I might, depending on the person/situation, but I wouldn't say it out aloud. I'll let them discover the truth by themselves.

no as long as its just, its the never ending ones who are anoying and that applies even if it is too myself

yep we got the msg, thank you, now can we move on

Yes, just jealous I guess

If there's a sinister motive behind it, then yes.

sometimes i'm jealous and sometimes i truly respect someone's achievements at something
