" &amp;quot;Whenever I meet or talk to guys, they never say that I&amp;#039;m a pretty girl or anything, but they tell me I have a cute butt or nice boobs. Should I take these as compliments?&amp;quot; - Hailie, 15, Milwaukee, WI Hailie you should only take those as compliments if you want to date a CAVEMAN! That is the lame and very ungentlemanly thing to say to a girl. Maybe these guys think they are being cute or playful (or trying to show off in front of their friends) but the compliments you want to savor are the ones that are more gentle and speak to your personality as well as your looks. Someone who can recognize that you are smart, funny, and sweet \u2013 those are the kinds of compliments you should accept. Pulling a girl apart by talking about her body parts (boobs, butt, etc) is just another way to not see us girls as the whole awesome package that we are! I wouldn&amp;#039;t put much value in what guys like this think. Stick to your real friends and find validation in someone who sees you \u2013 for you \u2013 not just your body parts!
