Complimenting A Curvy Woman. I recently got an email from a young man who complimented a curvy woman only to be turned down and embarrassed You can read what happened below and what I think should be done in this type of situation.
Dear Dating Stories Blog : I met a really attractive and intelligent woman at a party a few weeks ago. It was a public event at an art gallery. She was a high school teacher in her early thirties (I'm 27) and seemed very educated and sophisticated. She had classic curves - large bust, narrow waist, shapely legs/hips, etc., but not what I would consider "overweight", and was wearing an outfit that really flattered her figure. We had been talking for about a half hour and really seemed to develop a great rapport. We had even made tentative plans to meet for coffee sometime.
Then, things suddenly went downhill. There was a pause in the conversation and I commented that she had a “really nice, hourglass figure”. I thought she would take it as a compliment but instead she became deeply offended. She said, "Excuse me? Why are you talking about my figure?" I went into
damage control mode and tried to clarify my comments but I think I only exacerbated things as she rolled her eyes and shook her head. She told me I was being "inappropriate" and with a look of complete disgust, WHAP!, she slapped my face and departed.
As I stood there alone rubbing my cheek, I was trying to figure out why she was so upset. It seemed like a harmless comment to me but maybe I don't understand women as well I should. I do have her email address. Do you think I should send her an apology note or should I interpret the slap in the face as a definitive way of saying she wants no further contact?

Dear Confused
wow I can't believe she slapped you. Sorry for saying it this way but it sounds like something from a movie. Personal I think that being complimented and telling a woman she has an hourglass figure is quite a compliment, but not every woman will see it this way which is why you probably shouldn't say it to a woman when first meeting her.
As far as contacting her I would say send her an email and deeply apologize, it's been a while since the incident occurred so maybe you can suggest starting off fresh when contacting her through the email. Hopefully she will accept your apology but if not you know in the future to be careful of your words, and perhaps save this type of compliment for further into the relationship. Hope this helps
