Comment on The Perfect Complimentparent

How about, "I find your wife/daughter/mother really attractive?" Bad things can happen if you tell people what you think.

It's important to be precise when giving public social advice, because the people that could benefit from it the most don't know how to tease out hidden subtleties (that seem obvious to everyone else). If what you really mean is, "nothing bad will happen if you just tell people what you think and have at least roughly average social skills" you should just say the whole thing.
