I recently went to my friends house to check out his wii. I was generally impressed. It was larger than I expected though.

The immaturity is why it works -- a lot of the sexual weight is removed. "Breasts" doesn't sound elegant in this context. It sounds creepy.
:lol

But yeah, complimenting clothes that aren't undergarments is usually pretty safe. Things like "I like your glasses, they bring out your eyes" are better than "Are you wearing a black bra? I love black underwears!" |

What OP is talking about isn't taboo, it's just bad manners.
It's perfectly un-taboo to tell a woman she has great tits, or that her tits look great today, whatever, it just requires the prerequisite of having a healthy relationship with her first. Same would apply to her ass, or MWS' junk. |

OP, the girl you complimented was probably not happy about that. Her reaction was probably just to get away from you as fast as possible. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and there was a guy at the gym she goes to that says stuff like that all the time and at first she would react like that before just flipping out on him. It's the same reason you don't compliment a woman on her ass. It just comes off as classless and objectifying. No matter how much respect you have from a woman, saying that stuff to a stranger never goes off well.

Honestly, I find most complements on physical features to be a little weird. The breasts kind of grew themselves, it's not like the girl had much of anything to do with it (unless they are fake). Same goes for eyes (unless contacts), nose, lips, whatever. Basically, you are saying "I like your genetics." The main exception is hair, since people style it, thus it can be a reflection of personality.

Having great boobs isn't something that a woman should be ashamed of. It should be celebrated. |

I find it's always uncomfortable being complimented about any physical part of you from the other gender - even from friends. It's significantly more uncomfortable when it's about something that can be sexual.
My reaction would be to get as far away from that person as possible because I know what they're looking at. And being stared at is very awkward and makes you feel really nervous. |

It is kind of ridiculous, considering women compliment each other's bodies all the time.
My wife once complimented a friend on her breasts and I was there, uncomfortable anyway because I was bored and didn't like this friend, but I was like "yeah, yeah, they're nice" absent mindedly and my wife and the friend turned beet red. |

Your second point, however, really doesn't make much sense. It's creepy to compliment someone? No. It's only creepy when you're pushy about it. |

Objectification is quantifying their attractiveness down to a nice set of tits. Celebration would be complimenting her overall beauty without concentrating on an obvious overly sexualized area of her body.

Depends on the context really. If a stranger or a friend who wasn't really close said that to me it would basically say to me "I want to get in your pants", and make me feel really uncomfortable. If my boyfriend says it, or even a close friend, I'd probably feel very flattered. Why on a larger scale its taboo I can't say, except I guess it sounds like a pick up line.
