For this weeks Soapbox, David looks at the sticky issue of giving compliments.
On paper, the giving and receiving of kind words should be a straightforward process.
You say a nice thing. The other person says Thank you. But sadly its never that straightforward.
Especially with women.

Summing Everything Up | David Mitchell's SoapBoxby davidmitchellsoapbox170,207 views
So I was sitting here re-watching this and thinking, "man this is funny". Especially that "Oh Clara, you're here too" bit and I thought, "Hmm, that would've made me laugh even more if I hadn't had it ruined by the top comments giving it away."
...Then I looked at the user-name of the person who'd made it. I'm assuming that it will not be one of the top comments forever, so I 'll fill in those who won't see it.
I was one of those people who quoted a punchline. Urgh. I'm such a hypocrite. :L

This is what you do:
You compliment Clara, and here's why:
One: She needs it more than the others, so you make her happy.
Two: Unattractive girls are usually nicer, so she deserves it more.
Three: If the other girls are nice, they'll appreciate what you've done for her = points for you.
Four: If they're selfish they'll fell neglected and insecure making them much easier targets for your future advances.
You're welcome :-)
