Lesson: knowing the proper use of "your" vs. "you're" is helpful, but "your pretty" is still better than proper use of the adverb "very", as in "very pretty". Does this mean that high praise tends to be viewed as excessive? Is it viewed as symptomatic of a value system overweight the physical? Or is it a good leading indicator of desperation or clinginess? The former is more likely, but I'm more amused by the latter possibility.
In other words, it's still bad to compliment a woman's looks vs. her personality as revealed by her profile. But if "your" going to do it anyway, and you have to choose between sounding like a moron and broadcasting even a whiff of desperation, go with moron.
