Do guys like hearing “I appreciate you😊”?

[Hannah_Ann_Linge]

I’m sort of freaking out because I just sent this for the first time ever to my boyfriend. He complimented my heart so I sent this back. My goal is to make him smile, would you like this?

He responded with “me too! I’m sure your family appreciates you too”
Hopefully he doesn’t mean he appreciates himself

If I heard that from a girlfriend, I would think that she was a better woman than most of the others I have dated.

[Model6520]

Absolutely! The burning question at the core of every man is: Am I enough? Do I have what it takes?

You just answered these questions for your man with a resounding "YES"! Good Job!

In case you're wondering, women have an aching question too, it is: Do you see me? And are you delighted by what you see?

[WikkiWikki]

Do girls like hearing "You're pretty?" or "You look great today!"

I mean, hearing that you are appreciated is no different than hearing any other compliment. Now, if you are speaking strictly within relationships, I would ask you... do you like hearing that you are appreciated after you've been stuck at home or in your apartment all day while your man is out working?

Instead of saying that you appreciate them, show them that you appreciate them. And remember, it goes both ways!!! You should be appreciated as much as you appreciate your partner. Men are not objects, they are human as well.

[TruthBringer]

Oh, we definitely love to hear that. Especially in a society where men are often unappreciated for the things they do. I believe everyone, regardless of gender deserves to hear they are appreciated for the good things they do. What matters the most is that you only say it when you truly mean it and not for the sake of saying it (back).

[ohshee]

Yes now this question is the same as your other one ,, but this question is about saying words. THAT mean I hundred beautiful thing s. I can except thiS ONE. FROM S GIRL FRIEND. The other 1 is just me and it's what i do

[JackSmy]

I can't remember who said it, probably some Relationship Counselor, but whomever said: "Men cheat because they don't feel NEEDED; Women cheat because they don't feel LOVED."

[Anonymous]

That’s like a friend zone thing for me,,, it’s like a offbrand version of “I love you”
you can appreciate anyone , it’s not hard

i coukd say I appreciate my mechanic for fixing my car

so hearing a girl say that doesn’t put me at ease, you never know when she’ll walk away

id rather she said “I love you”. Then il be sure she won’t leave

but I guess she doesn’t if she said that instead 😢😢

[Kiss_Me]

Yes, all people like to hear they are appreciated.

"Me too" means he appreciates you as well.

[Jjpayne]

I think we less like to hear those words but know that by your actions. We as guys like to know we are valuable and appreciated by you

[Kabluie]

Yeah, I had a lady client actually say that to me today on the phone. A good way to end my day. So can imagine when an SO says such.

[Another_Old_Guy]

YES! What a nice thing to be told, any time by anyone!

[Avicenna]

We love to hear it and to experience being appreciated

[hahahmm]

Sure. Especially if you just cooked me a steak dinner.

[kkirk4442]

It's not the thing a guy is really wanting to hear, but it's better than saying I don't like you.

[na2398]

Even if I hear this a zillion times, I'd still love it. This compliment means a lot, no matter who gives it. Could be a friend, a relative or a partner.

[NickH21]

We most definitely like to hear that. a lot of guys don't hear that and don't feel appreciated. If I was in a relationship I would get goose bumps hearing that. Its something I wish I heard in my past relationships.

[genericname85]

of course. everyone likes validation and appreciation. that's a "human" thing, not a "gender" thing xD

[genericname85]

though you might run into the issue of a man thinking/hoping you're romantically/sexually interested.

[chubbycrow]

it depends, if its used as rejection or "i appreciate your effort but you're not a suitable boyfriend" most guys probably would feel let down

[YHL6965]

It's nice but, honestly, it can get a bit to my mind as in what way do you appreciate me? I would usually ask this in return after thanking the girl for the compliment.

[Nblair96]

Guys love to be appreciated and it’s often an unspoken thing among us that we are starving for a compliment or any sort of attention. It’s a very lonely feeling and I’m certain if you say that and man will smile

[Phoenix98]

Of course.

I wish my any of my exes had told me that even once.

[DJB72]

I'd love it. Don't think it's been said to me very often.

[bowenw]

It's a nice thing to say. I think he meant his family and him appreciate you.

[Surely]

If you do not appreciate each other, then there is no reason to be together.
Or it is a one sided relationship

[JohnGarcia]

I DO! In fact I would feel loved by her when she not only tells me this but shows me that through her actions! :)

[Snakeyes7]

Thats like the single thing we want from our girlfriends that give us hope that the relationship wasn't a waste of his effort.

[Raveagit]

You really missed the chance to just send question marks and now you fucked yourself all up mentally...

[worldscolide]

I like it, most of what men do for the women in their lives is thankless.

[Horny-ashell]

Yes I would. Everyone likes to know that they are appreciate.

[gair_7]

Yep, very much! Appreciation should be shown in behaviour rather than telling someone. But if you do both, it is wonderful and the guy will surely love you more for that.

[Wiredone]

As long as you're actions prove that you really do appreciate me, yes I like hearing it.

[nawtee_me]

Everyone likes to be appreciated, it would make me smile.
