I've received two compliments from women out of the blue in my life. The first time was when a coworker told me i had a nice voice and should do voice acting for anime. That was 2006.

The second was another coworker said "at least you're cute" to some offhand joke i made. That was 2018.

At that rate, I expect another nice comment around 2032 or so.

The data indicates 12 years which would be 2030.

That's a lot more optimistic!

I'm assuming that there'll be an additional wait period. They are experiencing heavy call volume at this time.

It's austerity now, so we can probably expect a bit of deflation on the compliment market, pushing back projected compliment growth rates.

In my projections I have substituted the loss in volume with AI bots and OF girls.

I had a girl compliment my voice too ! I was maybe 17, had her on the phone, she was a friend's friend. Then we met and she ostensibly lost all her excitement

Many years ago, my girlfriend's grandma said I had a good voice for radio. I misheard her, thought she said a good face for radio. I didn't react badly at the time, because being polite and all, but I didn't like her grandma for a while. Then it came out what she had really said, girlfriend had a big laugh. I don't remember what grandma thought of it, I was a little too embarrassed to have any attention to spare...
