✅ Guide 33 of Don't Be a Dick ✅

The image reads:

Make sure a compliment is actually a compliment:  

"You're really pretty FOR a..."  

"You'd be so handsome, IF you'd..."  

"I really like SOME of the stuff you do..."  

Backhanded compliments are NOT compliments.  

Say something kind or think bad thoughts.  

Just don't be a dick! ✅

Preach sista!

Don't be a dick, don't act like a dick, and don't think with your dick.

You're really pretty for someone who's talking to me. A twisted, self demeaning, double compliment.

I really do not understand how people can put that sentence together, and not realize how their sentence becomes so backhanded and downright hurtful.

I feel like backhanded compliments are what a chaotic good character would use in a story

I'm a little brother who isn't a dick but sure does love presenting actual compliments as if they're backhanded, like "That'd be good advice if it wasn't Great advice to begin with."

I was actually referring to relationships and such, but I appreciate the input. Also, thank you for the kind words :D

That's totally different. Intent is everything. You didn't intend to cause offence, and when you were unsure if you did cause offence, you explained yourself and apologized. You gotta appreciate and respect people who check themselves and their actions. Not to say everyone should walk around on eggshells, we're all gonna offend someone, and sometimes you just can't avoid that. People are different, different things offend different people. But, massive respect to anyone who tries to be a decent person and holds themselves to a kind standard :)

saying some like SOME is emphasizing that you don't like a Lot of other shit However I do like a great deal of your content, you have a great talent for it, but i'd have no right to say "You should try THIS" Nah you do what you wanna do I'm just a bystander that gets Zooted by your content

"Hmmmmm yes, this is worth taking notes on..." - me (a nice guy who thinks he's a pompous ass)

William Dunn

Why can't people just be nice

Bryan Martinez

Rule number one in my house is dont be a dick.

*Reads title and sees "Guide 33" at the start*. Hmmm this might be too advanced for me. Gotta go back and start from Guide 1 and work my way up here.

I've always wondered what the point of a back-handed compliment was... Is it the same as "awfully good" which doesn't make sense either... But you are right - give a real compliment, not a back-handed one...

*Scribbles notes* Um, excuse me, but will this be on the test?

Dalton Remy

Excuse me while I quickly take notes....
