Next time you receive a compliment from a guy, we dare you to agree with him.
According to activist Feminista Jones, if a woman says âyes, I knowâ when a man gives her a compliment (such as âyou look niceâ), it doesnât go down well.
In fact, Jones believes agreeing with a compliment in a confident manner is a sure-fire way to piss a lot of men off - and it comes down to the expectation that âwomen show no self-appreciationâ.
It seems a lot of women agree with her theory, as her recent tweet on the topic received more than 8,000 likes.
In further tweets, Jones said she has first-hand experience of annoying men through her reaction to compliments.
âThey even complain when you say âthanksâ with a straight face instead of âthank youâ with frilly giggles and fake blushed,â she said.
âIâve had several men tell me they found âthanksâ an offensive reply to a compliment given to a woman.â
Jones puts this down to the fact that women are expected to âshow no self-appreciationâ and are meant to be âoverjoyed by someone (a man) saying something positive about themâ.
In response to her thread, other women shared their experiences of facing a backlash after agreeing with a compliment.
