Girls: if a guy called you "moderately pretty"?
Scroll to see replies
Either say she's pretty or say nothing. Moderately pretty sounds ridiculous 
Original post by Another
I'd consider it a compliment. A compliment that would send him straight to the friendzone, but a compliment nonetheless.
Why would it send him straight to the friendzone? Would "very pretty" remove him from the friendzone?
Pretty isn't even that much of a compliment.
Like "ooh this snail shell is pretty..."

No, I'm the guy.
I'm planning on telling a girl I want to flirt with that's she's "moderately pretty"
Don't want to call her "pretty" as that's too much of an ego boost and she gets told that by too many men already.
I want her to know that I find her OK looking but I'm not head of heels for her

You find her face acceptable and you're not even that crazy about her, why bother at all?

That comment says either one of two things to me:
1) He's going to be a bit of a jackass constantly throughout the relationship, ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
2) He's clearly not that interested. Why do I want to waste my energy and time pursuing someone who is not interested?
"Very Pretty" Might do, and might not. If you consider a scale whereby "5" is sexual attraction, "0" is would never consider dating, and "-5" is friendzone. The comment "You are moderately attractive" would set you back to a -3. "You are very pretty" would have an overall value of 1 or 0. Basically, if you do choose to go with the aforementioned comment, you're gonna have to dig yourself out of a pretty deep pit.
Alternatively, if you're talking to a bimbo whereby blatantly obvious negging legitimately works, you might be alright.

Oh I am crazy about her really, but can't come across too keen, so I'm planning a weak compliment, to let her know I'm interested, but not that interested
Wouldn't care less. I'd just think it was funny and shoot back 'well you're moderately handsome too' or something.

It sounds like something that someone would say if they had poor social skills. You don't want to come across too try hard. It looks like you're actively trying to take her down a peg.
Why not avoid mentioning her looks at all and comment on her character. If she's a pretty girl and used to compliments about her appearance, be different and compliment something else.

How is that possibly a good idea 
If you like someone why would you not want to make them feel good about themselves?
Is this some weird pick up artist crap where you mix insults/complements. Is it called negging? Am I learning the ways of the internet cretins?

Being told you're pretty but not super pretty isn't a compliment if you're Katy Perry
But for your average girl being told you're "moderately pretty" is a compliment

How would you feel if a girl called you 'moderately handsome'? Don't be so stupid. If you don't think she's pretty, don't insult her by adding such a restrictive qualifier. You shouldn't be trying to flirt with girls if you don't see how hurtful that could be...
I agree, being hurtful is so last year.

There just isn't any need for the "moderately" part, most girls would rather you say nothing than say that

If someone said I was "moderately handsome", I'd take it as, I'm no Johnny Depp, but I'm still a good looking guy
Lol you said that other men tell her how pretty she is already, why then would she even consider someone who only 'moderately' likes her?

She will be intrigued as to why I am not blown away with her like other men, making me more of a challenge

Lol in your dreams. If you said that to me when others had complimented me properly, I wouldn't even give you the time of day.
