1. Other - because I do actually have a moderately charming side.
but mostly because the compliments are always true, and because I realise that compliments are not supposed to be a way of getting folk into bed.

3. You know that they don't have ulterior motives
You know that they respect you for your looks, not that they are trying to get you into bed.

whether they are gay or straight doesn't matter. It's simply common courtesy to say when someone looks good.

Compliments are always appreciated, whether you get something out of the deal or not.

edit: In fact, a person who gives out compliements without expecting anything out of it is indeed a generous soul worth spending time with.

5. Perhaps, we could compliment heteros on their beautiful minds?
They say that you shouldn't compliment someone on how they look because they may not be able to change that. You can compliment someone on the clothes they wear because they choose them.

10. Is it a waste of time when I, a hetero, compliment a gay DUer
on his or her looks (or any other charming attributes)?

I don't think so. I don't take sexual orientation into consideration when I give compliments of any kind (looks or otherwise). I like people, period. Especially the people here.

How is friendliness and a kind word ever a waste of time?

16. It was just a joke....
Based on all the topics about heterosexuals dealing with Gay compliments...

I'm glad you deal with people as people and not Gay versus Straight....

11. You need to hang out in the lounge more often. Everyone is
always flirting and complimenting one another regardless of sexual orientation, age or whatever. We are into validation :)

17. If I didn't hate everyone equally, I'd compliment them regardless of
their sexual orientation
