As someone who is a slightly-below-average-looking guy (chubby with red hair) this doesn't surprise me. But it's only slightly above, average, and slightly below girls who get offended. These are superficial women who are constantly playing status and looks games with other women and their egos are hurt by uglier guys not recognizing their status and looks and acting accordingly. Beautiful women hear this sh!t a hundred times a day and unattractive women tend to be glad to hear a compliment no matter where it comes from.
Most of my lays have been out of my league, either too high or too low. There is something about me that attracts outliers rather than similars but not sure what it is. I know this, as a weird looking dude I generally have to play the long con to get good looking girls. Multiple interactions with beautiful friends of friends where I show off my excellence subtly.
