someone on my level or below I'll take as a compliment.

The above assumes there's no obvious flirting going on.

I never care for it when my current manager does it. It's usually casual here, so polos and slacks are my regular deal. When we have clients around, I'll break out a shirt and tie and look better than they do. So whenever I hear the 'you look nice' comment, I always think 'What, I'm not supposed to? Or can't?"

this is not to be said while staring at cleavage, or with the intent of sex in your eyes.

I use that for co-workers of both sexes. For the females it acknowledges that they're dressed nice without too much room for skeevy interpretation.

could be something skeevy. but i guess it could come off that way from a man to woman or shoot even a woman to a man, dpeends on how its said

i just always take it as a small talk compliment, say thanks and keep it moving, i say it to other ppl if deserved as well

prototype

stand ur ground, believe in urself,
believe in love, prepare urself for love, remove the negativity from ur life, and accept the love u kno u deserve

and their is something wrong with the people complaining. I am just saying, look at this poll. A majority of people say they always love it. A couple of people say they always hate it. Based on that (and of course its not a proper sampling but for the sake of argument) should you stop saying it though the majority likes it but a few hate it?

Really just asking. Trying to think this through.

hate it as glass half empty grumps but u never know ppl's personal history or any workings, i guess u just have to study body language and tone in the response of someone u say it too and if they seem skeeved just not say it to *them* again

i dont think reactions like that, of a minority of ppl, should stop it from being said

i can say for me i only say when i really mean it

you'd be surprised how some of these pressed and/or thirsty and/or old and/or skeevy dudes can come off. i wouldnt worry about it in your case.

I guess this is what it comes down to because I never worried about these issues when i was younger but as I become older and work around younger people who are junior to me, I don't want to be that guy you describe.
