		FaceKicker on July 4, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Perfect Compliment > Kind of an odd article, the writer spends the first part of it trying to come up with compliments, which usually fail. Personally I thought that part was hilarious. I'm not sure whether it was true or not (due to how naive it made the author seem) but I definitely enjoyed the article more because of it.

If you try this same sort of thing yourself, I think you'll be surprised at how naive it makes you feel.

It's a very foreign feeling, stretching for compliments.

Maybe I'm just shy/lazy, but the part about the author issuing 1100 compliments in a week also strains belief.
