      But like, it seems like she’s a complete stranger to them, how are they supposed to compliment her on anything other than her looks? This comic is trying to make some sort of point but it’s not making that point.

        It was drawn by someone who only gets compliments on their looks. It checks out.

        “You seem to be very determined and willing to get out of your comfort zone while asking for what you want.”

          That might work. You should at least phrase it more positively: “You’re very brave.” Your version is more of a neutral observation IMHO.

        You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.

        That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.

          3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I’d let someone else say it. Just hoped they’d be less condescending about it.

        You have some serious balls to come in here and make demands like that.

        Not sure if that’s actually better, but it’s not about looks.
