I'm not exactly sure what prompted you to make a remark on a stranger's appearance, let alone on a piece of clothing that would be designed to cover their genitals? I'd be more worried about a lack of filter, do you think she's waiting for a stranger to comment on her leggings? I kinda feel that's the fuck up, the fact you didn't care enough to properly check what you were looking at and made a comment anyway is the second one.

​

Edit: Well that;s why there's so many creeps I guess, they don't know they are..

I’m not sure anyone thinks of leggings as…. Genital coverings? It’s not weird to tell a stranger “I love your shirt” or “nice hat!” Or something in passing. It’s complimenting someone’s taste, not their appearance. If you said “wow those leggings really make your ass look good!” That would be inappropriate.

Especially since it’s normal to wear actual genital coverings underneath leggings.

I shall forever call any form of lower half clothing as genital coverings!

I compliment people all the time, I don’t think it’s that strange. I’ve also never looked at complimenting someone’s pants or leggings as complimenting something “designed to cover your genitals”. It’s not like they said I love the VPL you got there.

I feel like the creepiness is totally situational and depends on the tone, I also don’t think ANY comment on appearance is creepy, so I won’t comment on the creepiness but I will say the way OP pointed out this persons appearance feels like a neg.

If I were wearing some combination of clothing and someone said, “Wow, I’ve never seen someone wear ____ and ____, but I like it.” Id feel pretty weird. Sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I’ll put jeans on then decide eh fuck it I’m just gonna wear my slippers. And if someone said, “Wow I’ve never seen someone wear slippers and jeans before, but I like it.” I’d probably walk away thinking, “did that guy just roast me?”

I do agree, leggings is a weird thing to “compliment” as well. They have a cool shirt on, or interesting shoes, or like a wild design on their leggings, sure. But complimenting normal leggings that clearly were so normal, they just looked like legs (or vice versa) is kinda odd

Yeah seems like creeps are down voting you, no need to comment on someone you don't knows clothes

Yeah…it was a weird comment indeed and it would have made me super uncomfortable. Also, you’ve never seen someone wear leggings and flip flops? Where the fuck do you live?
