Do guys mean it when they compliment you?

Most of the time. Do note that honesty doesn't always equal kindness, for some may use their truly honest opinion as a means to a rather unsavoury end.
However, that's a very rare occurrence. Most of the time, compliments are sincere.
Think of it this way: "Do people buy food at the store in order to procure food to eat later, or just to deprive someone else of obtaining it?"
Of course there are some weirdos who do the latter, but most people do the former, because that's the normal, honestly more advantageous thing to do.
Most of the time, no. Most men have put women on a pedestal and just gives them compliments left and right. Why? To get into their pants - even chubby women. Ugly (fat/obese) women gets compliment from highly desperate men, why? To get into their pants.
They mean nothing, and only helps the woman to feel better about herself and feel like she is better than she truly is.
I barely give compliments anymore, so when I do, I truly mean it.
would guys lie to their gf?
Some men only compliment you to get what they want out of you. They don't care whether you feel beautiful or not. Some guys will compliment you and then turn around to insult you once you've rejected them.
It depends on the situation, I think. If it's a random guy or a guy you've just met, he's probably being nice just to get in your pants; if it's your boyfriend, he probs means it.
You know, a compliment to get into your pants is still a compliment.

I reckon is guys are pretty straight forward, we usually say what we mean and mean what we say. if he says you look beautiful, then he thinks you are.
I always try and take people at face value and trust what they say is what they mean, everything is way too complicated if you try and second guess everything! Well that's what I think.
I always mean it but I hardly ever compliment girls, and especially not with "you're beautiful" or something heavy like that. I usually say things like, "I like your nose. It looks nice," or, "I like your head. It reminds me of an apple for some reason." -- things of this sort.
Most of my compliments come in the form of, "I like [...]" For example, "I like your boobs. I like to grab them." I usually avoid saying things like, "Your boobs are magnificent." The reason I avoid the latter, I think, is because it doesn't emphasize the subjectivity of my compliment and it also sounds a little bit cheesy to me. At the very least, I prefer, "Your boobs are magnificent *to me*."
I think they do... Unless they have really clear ulterior motives that don't involve appreciating you for who you are and trying to take advantage of you... Fact is if he likes you what he expresses the reasons for why in complement, so they're inherently true unless. like I said he just wants to fuck you lmao
I have always been sincere about every compliment I've ever given a woman even when I'm trying to pick up girls. What reason do I have to lie? If I say she's beautiful and she's really ugly I really don't stand to benefit anything from that as I'm not really attracted to her.
Depends on the guy and the situation.
For example, if you're making a pity party for yourself saying "I'll never be pretty" and he says you're beautiful then you kind of put him in a situation where he had to say that.
Its all about the tone they use and how genuine the are about the compliment and if it sounds more like they mean it rather than just saying it cause they are thinking with their... rather than their head.
Most of the time sure. Generally when a guy gives a compliment WITHOUT any other desire, that's when they're just "being nice" and probably don't mean it. In a relationship id say every compliment is genuine (sine he's with you).
Sometimes we mean it. Other times it's just something we say in the hope you'll get naked. Compliments are also sometimes called kissing your ass or sucking up.
I've never said it and not meant it. There might be some immature younger guys that have told a woman this to "get in their pants" lol, but even then, I'm sure they still mean it, or they wouldn't be trying to get in their pants lol.
honest compliments are the best a woman can usually tell if a guy is lying to try and get in her pants
yes. but keep in mind that if he loves you, then by definition you are beautiful in his eyes. if the love chanhes, the beauty may too
I'd say with a variety of guys the odds are 80 to 20 that he likes you and is being truth ful.
Yes, if they are saying it honestly then they mean it. Simple
Yes. Why would I lie? I mind isn't always focused on trying to get into her pants.
Yes, what would be the point of me lying? Cause one lie leads to another that's all.
If it's some 70 year old guy who has his wife with him, it's probably sincere. If it's some 20 year old at a club, it's probably the pants thing.
The ones that compliment you every day, it is BS pandering/flattery to get you into bed.
The ones that say something only like once or twice per month, they actually mean it.
It depends on the guy and his intentions.
When a compliment someone, it's genuine and I hardly offer compliments as most people aren't worthy of such praise.
some mean it but for most guys it´s just code for "i want in your pants".
in relationships, we mean it.
Guys aren't very sophisticated, especially around women. They tend to just blurt out whatever they're thinking.
