The dictionary says "a man who is dapper is nicely dressed, has a neat appearance, and is usually small or thin".
Does that mean if a man is tall and has a muscular build, the word would be less appropriate?
Is it a common compliment?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The dictionary says "a man who is dapper is nicely dressed, has a neat appearance, and is usually small or thin".
Does that mean if a man is tall and has a muscular build, the word would be less appropriate? That's true.

Is it a common compliment? I wouldn't call it common in today's English. When it is said, it is usually in a somewhat jocular manner.
