If a man (fellow coworker) has nice biceps, I say it As a man who values fitness, I would be really freaked out if you, as a coworker, complimented my biceps.

As a man who values fitness, I would be really freaked out if you, as a coworker, complimented my biceps.
If you merely asked about fitness, it would be fine. Commenting on my appearance (beyond, "hey, you have a piece of toilet paper stuck to your face") isn't what I consider appropriate to the workplace.
- stewartbutler 15y agoAs a person with (perhaps incorrect) assumptions about the normal locations for toilet paper to end up, I have to ask: has someone ever had to tell you you had toilet paper stuck to your face? If so... Why?
- georgieporgie 15y agoToilet paper is a classic technique for treating nicks from razors. It was merely an example. I have, at various times, had a variety of substances accidentally adhered to my face, head, or clothing. Pointing out something which is obviously unintentionally out of place is much appreciated. Making value judgments on appearance is not.
