Tell a stranger he or she is beautiful

A couple months ago I bought a book called Astonish Yourself! It's great. The concept is to go through different experiments of everyday life. 
One of them is called "Tell a stranger he or she is beautiful".  The point is that not only do you feel a sense of change and discomfort but you may have just made that strangers day??
What do you have to lose? As to what happen after you have done this we will never know unless you try. 
"You will find out for yourself. But if the response is in most cases a shrug of the shoulders, this at least testifies to a deplorable decay in social fabric."

Have fun!

  1. Last week I saw a women that I've known for a while but haven't seen in a few weeks. Her hair was different (looked good). So I said, "did you get a haircut? It looks really good."
    I could tell right away that she was impressed and I hope it gave her a good start to her morning.
    Although this seems very simple and easy, it's almost a rush because you don't know how they will react. In this case it went well. If it would have went south....oh well. You only live once!
