Male reporter rendered instantly incompetent with single compliment
Men, so unpracticed in the art of receiving a compliment, can be easily reduced to a pile of jelly with a single admiring phrase. As women, it's our most potent secret weapon against the systemic sexism that so disadvantages us: knowing that all we have to do is say "Nice watch!" to render a dude completely useless. Watch here as Hollywood actresses Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson make a grown man forget entirely how to do his job by telling him he's cute.
The power of a woman's compliment is potent and should only be deployed in situations when making men look like idiots is absolutely necessary, which unfortunately for WSVN Miami reporter Chris Van Vliet was not the case here. But to be fair: He really is super-cute.
