I try to improve the days of strangers by offering compliments that (hopefully) clearly have no ulterior motive. The two easiest ways I've found to do this are a. Offer the compliment in passing so that it is obvious I'm not asking for anything as a follow-up because I've already walked away and b. Compliment things that took time, effort or courage (like an elaborate hairstyle or colorful makeup).
Metaphorically speaking as a man with a beard, I appreciate men with beards because the man in question is often very pleased with his beard and, in most cases, took time to develop it. Therefore, it's nearly universally a safe thing to compliment. I've never once complimented a beard and not gotten a grin and at least brief conversation as a result. Sometimes I'll even get a brotherly slap on the back.
Maybe OP got a lot of - or even a few - compliments on his beard, regardless of the state of his jaw, and it boosted his ego.
I usually just talk about something very unlikely to sound predatory or sexual. "I like your hair," things like that. Hair is one I bring up frequently also because one can usually tell whether a lot of effort was made; as I mentioned, I think complimenting something that involved effort is more impactful than just random, possibly meaningless things about the person.
For example, I don't usually say anything about clothes (on men or women) unless there's something particularly striking about them; recently I saw a woman wearing a shirt expressing a political opinion that is not popular in this area (but with which I agreed) and complimented her on it because it seemed like it probably took courage to wear. However, I wouldn't comment on someone wearing a plain white tee.
I have learned that I don't necessarily always enunciate properly and therefore should say "I like your shoes" rather than "I like your boots."
As a man with a somewhat shorter full beard, though not thin by any means. I take a decent bit of pride in it cause even in its most dhaggy state it requires a decent bit of maintenance with grooming to keep it from ingrowing and knotting.
So yeah any compliment is appreciated keep up the good work.
So you're saying OP is ignorant and entitled because he didn't choose to be gay?
Normalization of homosexual behaviour doesn't imply heterosexual behaviour was non-existent. Helen of Troy was known for her beauty, not her lack of cock.
Also, the Greeks still exist today, so at least some of them were into women.

Don't forget the beard.
The beard hides an ugly jaw, I know from experience.

The best non-creepy way I've found to compliment a random woman is "That's a great look."

So long as the beard isn't also ugly
He's not really committing until he starts spending his summers at war against a neighboring Polis.
...together with his gay lover
And possibly being paid by Persians
Greekmaxing
But there is quite nothing like sunning your freshly shorn scrote.
Fake: Annon took inspiration from the Greeks by being fit
Gay: Annon took inspiration from the Greeks by being extremely gay
Why cheap red wine?
If it's the only thing you drink, price adds up fast.
Ancient wine was actually not very good
It was potent though, had to water it down.
Adding dirty water to clean booze is gross
OP forgot to take inflation into account.
Incel propaganda
How bout I take a propa ganda at them honkers
Disgusting.
I initially misread "garlic" as "garum" and immediately felt bad for the neighbors.
fermented fish sauce right?
That was banned from being made within the city walls from the smell.
why is "interest from women" the last item? anon claims Greek lifestyle but ignores that the ancient Greeks normalized homosexual behavior? .
It's a funny meme but it reeks of ignorance and entitlement.

Rule34 is rapidly approaching your location
Rule 63 too, I think
Does futanari count as rule 63 or is it its own thing?
I think Rule 63 is just gender-swapping
I am.
Because they were already enjoying the interest from men?
Exactly. The OP did normalize it. There wasn't a notable difference.
It's because it's fake and gay
Cuck Carlson suns his tiny balls.
LOL GUYS HE BROUGHT UP POLITICS
It’s insane that ball sunning is political but here we are.
