If you disagree with their statements you risk making a conversation about the statements, which sounds painfully awkward to me.

What else is new? If you’re a male consultant and you’re not attractive sorry to break it to you but you won’t be on any client sites lol.

How true is this honestly (looking for SM/AP/P inputs)?

I do not receive compliments on my looks like OP, and if I self-gauged I’m average at best.

I’ve been thrown on project teams with very attractive individuals and it clearly stuck out. I was like wow this team is very good looking (even the male AP/P were deemed to be handsome). Forced me to visit a salon for the first time at the age of 31 😂

What happened to good ole compliments - why do you need to overthink this? Just say thank you and go about your day! Stop making simple compliments about flirtations and political correctness. Live a little, and enjoy the compliments 🙂

likesmarthelpful

I think it’s not really a compliment. Systemically, there is something wrong here. It’s a power play and it may cause hurt feelings in the long run. No one wants to be part of a culture that hurts feelings.

Yes, I’m being sarcastic.

The right question in this thread. Sounds like it should be a simple compliment that you say thank you to and feel good about the fact that you showered prior to going on camera. Why did it make you uncomfortable/make you overthink this, OP? Was it creepy?

I understand this might sound a little snobby but I'm not trying for it to come off that way. I've been around impressive people throughout my adult life. T-14 and big law have placed me in the company of some really accomplished individuals. It likely skewed the bar in terms of what I find as impressive.
