I use to compliment my ex wife a lot told her how much I loved and adored her , kissed her head before I left for work and told her I loved her , when I came home I would say hi beautiful etc, She barely ever complimented me and get frustrated with me because I complimented her so I backed off , But at times she would respond and say that she never had a guy love her as much as I did. But she ended up screwing another guy , So bottom line girls always want what they don’t have , when they get it they find a reason to bitch about it , After my ex I met another amazing girl that complimented me like I complimented her , I was falling for this girl big time she was complete opposite of my ex and I felt I met the one we had amazing chemistry together amazing sex until her husband showed up on my door step , So us guys don’t really understand you girls , Girls heads are all over the place where a guys head isn’t , it doesn’t take much to please a man , but to please a girl good luck with that shit

Sooo many of the guys are waaaay off on this post lmao 😂
Sweetheart, you’re not wrong for wanting more compliments. Contrary to what these guys are saying, this doesn’t make you “needy” or “greedy” ; it means your love language is “words of affirmation”. You feel love most when given compliments and encouragement, etc.
Don’t tell your man “I need more compliments”. INSTEAD explain WHY. Tell him how good his words make you feel, and he will use them more. Then, also, do send him the pics if they are pics of you. That will mean you’ve explained what you like, and you’ve given him more reason to give you what you like. This is a win win.
Ending on another happy note, if he doesn’t compliment you, send me the pics and I will 😉😂. There’s nothing more beautiful than the female form. I worked in a strip club as security 💪🏽✊🏽 And what I learned is that ALL OF YOU have it. 😍☺️
just ask him for exactly what you want. Be specific. If after a few tries if you get nowhere ask him why. If he says this is just the way he is then ask him if he is willing to get help to change. If not you have to decide if that is what you are willing to live with and also you can seek therapy to see if you are really attention seaker or you just want normal attention
There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting attention from your partner. The only issue I see is if it gets to the point where your only sense of validation or self-worth comes from other people. In a relationship though we should always communicate what we want or need from it and be open to hear what they want as well.

Often, acts of love and affection are shown through action. But some people's love language is indeed words of affirmation (just like one simp here pointed out). So it's best if you make your partner aware that you want him to give you vocal compliments. I wouldn't immediately label you as an attention seeker, unless he is already giving you words of affirmation and the second he stops, you start to question yourself. Then yes, you are an attention seeker. But wanting some more lovely words doesn't necessarly make you one.
Also, if your man is doing so much for you already and it's pushed aside because you want more words (even though actions speak louder than words), then it's time for you to selfreflect.The problem with woman is "love them too much" and they think they can get away with anything, which often leads to cheating and in days women were raised rights with code of mortality, respect and honor but 3rd-fermi gen is crazy.
I don't think he will give you everything without clearly setting boundaries (like cheating) but modern-breaker of chains want to be absolutely free without accessing the cost/consequences... the terms like "you can do anything from sore losers is absolute shit"
Yes you have every RIGHT to demand love from your men but he won't allow you to rule you or become your perpetual slave !I don't think that's so uncommon... But if he's giving you love and attention and he's providing for you... And it sounds like from that he cares so sometime not after he misses a chance but sometime like you know when you're cuddling after making love and just likely chatting you might mention it in passing that you would kind of like it better if he compliment you a little bit more kind of kissing and play it off like it's nothing and I'm sure he'll step up a little bit but you also need to back off a little bit on your expectations of it that's called compromise. Of course I know you know all of that
Don't try to manipulate him into complimenting you.
As with everything in a relationship, communication is key. If you're not getting something you need, talk to him. Tell him "I've got some confidence issues and I need you to reassure me by telling me you like how I look more often".Be clear to him about what you are expecting from him. Seeking attention from your man is definitely not a bad thing but not explaining it would be. If you don’t tell him to what you exactly want, he would never know and that is not healthy for a relationship.
Well I suppose that depends on how much. After some point you're just smothering him. You might just be too clingy. You aren't very specific about what he does and how he does it or how often he does x y and z, so nobody can give you a reference to their own life to give you a better measure.
Yes it's wrong, you chose a selfish prick it's part of the reason you hopped in bed with him, just do what all girls do, move on to the next bad boy to treat you like shit, again and again, till you have three kids a blown vag, saggy breasts and a subscription to a dating app for five more years, with all profile pics filtered more than a turd at a shit farm.
Go get a lad with thick glasses, looks like pubity will never happen, but he will worship you, live to give you the world and give you so much attension he knows when your box is going to bleed out before you do.😘🖕If you expect him to compliment you more it’s gonna get to the point where the compliments are gonna become him just telling you what you want to hear wouldn’t you rather him compliment you when he wants too this way his compliments are genuine and honest and not him feeling pressured too
Well, you are seeking attention lol (not a bad thing). But the other ladies are right, you have to let him know how you feel. Let him know how much you love him, and you love when he compliments you, but could he do it a little more often for you? Sometimes we think "you know" and we don't have to tell you, so it's important to let him know how you feel. And directly. Sending pictures may not get that point across or have the impact you want it to. It's important to say how you feel.
An attention seeker, as per popular term, is someone who publicly seeks attention on social media from horny bastards, regardless of the quality of attention.
If you don't do that, you're not an attention seeker. Also, wanting too much can drive him away, you should talk with him about it.I don’t think anything is wrong with wanting some attention from a partner. In fact, they should be delighted to give you attention. And of course, if I was in your position I wouldn’t expect it all the time. But if he shows it in other things I think that’s okay. Maybe you should communicate with him.
Sounds like that's you need to work on yourself. Why do you need compliments? Isn't he being with you the biggest compliment he can give you? You are a bit of an attention seeker. Ask yourself why. I'm not looking down on you or something just pointing out the obvious.
Your man is not a man, he is a cunt who deserve to be cheated for not giving love to you. Sorrynotsorry. Dont listen to stupid guys in comment-section who think wanting love and attention from your partner makes you an attention seeker. Me and my boyfriend simp for eachother and complimemt each other non stop. Lol the same guys would cry and trash talk women if women would not give them sex/love for a day.
Well are you a basic bitch? What have you done to earn his Intrigue? Is a few photos really the top of your sex life. Fucking coller him. Put it around his neck. Tell. him to do as you please. Fuck I don't know slap him for no reason!!!
You sound pushy and entitled but okay. We all deserve to be complimented and given attention by our S. O but you do sound like a pain, maybe give it a rest?
Telm him you want more compliments. My girlfriend had to tell me that she wanted me to say "I love you" more often. She never doubted it, because I showed her every chance I got, but I didn't really say it that much. Maybe challenge him to compliment you at least once a day. Give him a prize of sine sort if he does. I don't know what, but something that he doesn't normally get from you. My girlfriend and I made it into a game.
No but... Every woman on earth can show pictures and get attention from random strangers so be careful. Better to have the personality that drives him closer plus take care of your looks than to focus just on looks.
When I felt like I need more attention from my boyfriend, I told him that I felt distant and he doesn't care about me enough. He realized that he should pay more attention to me as we don't live together and only see each other on weekends. Just be direct with him.
Maybe when he compliments you, tell him you really love when he does that. Keep telling him whenever he compliments you. Maybe he will do it more often when he realizes how much you love it.
Not at all! You’re in a relationship with him, so you want love and attention. That’s perfectly normal. Try to get closer to him and talk more
