Anonymous · Accepted Answer

All girls like compliments but not all constantly need them. They're good when you're trying to catch someone's interest. They're good for your girlfriend/wife just to make them feel good. And sometimes a compliment isn't just words its actions. Like not being able to take your eyes off of her. Tell her all you see it her, she's gorgeous.
Or an erection can sometimes be a complement at the right time. As long as you speak honestly you should be fine and it shouldn't come out sounding cheesy. The only time it's cheesy is if you're using a line.
When you find someone attractive what goes through your mind? "I want to bang her." Okay now think, why do you want to bang her? "Because she looks good." Now tell her that and try to sound charming and confident. Lol jk
Also if you like her voice tell her, her laugh tell her. This is just up front complements, before you know anything about them. After you know things about them. They're really good at singing/dancing/arguing/kissing/sex/gaming/writing/and so on. Tell them.
Dont give sexual compliments until you know that person sexually or they are setting off fuck me vibes. It depends on the girl how often you give them. Sometimes occasionally like every day for some girls or a couple here and there over a week it's not a specific amount. You'll know if it's too much by her response. You can tell if someone appreciated it or not.
Personally Ill get tired of it if all he's doing is repeating a compliment over and over without any conversation starting to keep my interest. Now I normally only get complements from my husband during sex or if I dressed up for a special occasion. Or if I write something really good. He will complement me.
Just speak your mind. Those are the complements you should use. You like her tell her what you are liking. Those are the complements we like to hear. =)

1. Yes, I do.
2. Non-sexual compliments, honestly. Comments about my outfit, intelligence, and body parts that aren't boobs or butt are the compliments I like.
3. Sometimes. Mostly I get embarrassed by them, but it's not often.
4. People in general should compliment other people when they notice something out-of-the-ordinary that they like about the other person. Don't force a compliment. Only say you like it if you really like it. Why only when something is different? Because usually, when people do something different with their style, they are going to want feedback. Not that they did it just for a compliment, but they want to know how people feel about the change.

Hope this helps!

Depends on how involved you are with her/ how much you know each other.
Apperance compliments are nice if we've tried to look good or if we are having an awful day, look like shit but you tell us otherwise.
It's also in how you say it some girls don't like it when a compliment is really casual they find it lazy others find complements like "your eyes are the most beautiful or sparkle" to be shallow and over done.
Compliments that I appreciate the most is when a guy compliments me on my personality or hard work drive or compliments my artwork. It shows that he's more interested in things about me that are deeper than skin level.. And
That's usually the kind of guy we want.

Being complimented makes me feel really great about myself, especially since I have rather low self-esteem.
My favorite compliment is being called "cute." For some reason, I've been called that a lot recently. To me, it suggests that a guy cares a lot about me and wants to protect me.
Compliments on appearance are always nice too. Things like "you look nice today" or "your hair looks good" are simple but make me feel nice.
If someone compliments me too often, I start to think that they aren't genuine compliments. "Too often" really just means more than twice a day, though.

If it is a compliment they don't hear often they normally like it. A hot girl getting complimented on her looks won't be as appreciated as if you look past her looks and comment on a good idea she had or something along those lines. She already knows she is hot because she has people hitting on her all the time. I wouldn't compliment them too often, or it just sounds like kissing their butts, and purposely telling them what they want to hear.

As a guy I'd say be scarce but precise and truthful with your compliments. Flowering a girl with compliments can make you look insincere or wanting. Not to mention you may give her a diva complex with a big head and feet that don't touch the ground. But not ever complimenting a girl can make her feel unappreciated, ugly, or unwanted so say what you mean and mean it.

justbanANNAz · Answer

i love compliments, but I'm SUCH a dork when i receive them oh my gosh. i get so awkward -.-

anyway, just in general, i think it's best to compliment a girl sparingly, because that way she doesn't get used to them. it's so sweet for us when it kinda just pops out of nowhere and makes our day, u know? if u shower a girl in compliments, she may actually just expect them, and the meaning may fade a tad. =] keep it special.

cookiesandcream · Answer

yes! Now, even if you've never seen me, tell me I'm pretty!

CelticaAvery · Answer

Yes, I'm a guy. Yes, I like being complimented.
Most girls LOVE attention and flattery can be used to our advantage so I say that there is no limit to the amount of compliments you can pay to a girl daily (just don't compliment her on the same pair of jeans every day because most people will find that annoying after a while.)
Hope this helps. Go for it!

butimsharon · Answer

1. Personally, I'd rather "I'm so glad you're my friend/lover/whatever" over "you are beautiful" in any day. But look, if you'd say I'm beautiful, I won't stop you. It still feels really nice☺😉
2. I never get tired of hearing them, and I appreciate every single one.
3. Don't compliment a girl everyday but once in a few days is great😊

Hope I helped!

karahiri · Answer

i like them, but i don't react well lol. i tend to reply with something self-deprecating. for example, one of my girlfriends complimented my outfit last night. i replied with something like "yeah, i tried not to let my inner hobo shine through." and then we both laughed. the thing is, i feel like dudes don't like it when you don't react in the traditional way of blushing or saying thank you and complimenting them back. I don't know.

teawrecks · Answer

I love compliments, never stop complimenting me. When you stop complimenting me I start getting all insecure about myself and doubting your attraction to me. Especially if you compliment other girls.

Like, don't get too comfortable. Because I'll walk away and find someone else who isn't afraid to stroke my ego a little bit.

queen_in_the_streets · Answer

I looove compliments. I do like a certain kind, although it's hard to explain what kind lol. Like one time a guy on gag asked me how tall I am & he said he's 5'9 & I told him my height & he said that I Would look cute standing next to him -_- that is so cliche. There was an age difference between us maybe that's why I don't know. I really don't know how to explain what kind of compliments I like but I don't like common compliments

Recherche · Answer

I like them spontaneously, when you mean what your saying and in the morning aha.. I get tired of them when I heard the same one over and over again, it feels like your just saying that out of habit.. compliments on personality, looks, work ethic, my truck lol etc

vouge · Answer

honestly I don't usually like compliments because it feels like a lie to me... so yea I get tired of hearing them, but it depends on the person.
A guy should compliment a girl once and a while not too much but just enough to spark some interest and it depends on the girl and ur relationship status with them. The closer u are the more compliments u give. But that's just my preference :3

Complicated-Soul · Answer

I like compliments on my writing skills, wisdom (if they see any), when I make tea, etc. I really like compliments. Especially from the people I admire.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah I like them, although I'm an extremely awkward person and sometimes I don't take them well. Like a good compliment would just be something like 'you look pretty today' or 'I like your hair' or anything like that. I probably wouldn't get tired of hearing them unless it was every 5 seconds haha.

XDreamCatcherX · Answer

Of course we love compliments! But sometimes they start to sound so fake because all the people say the same thing.
For example, I'm really tired of hearing "You're eyes are beautiful."
When everyone compliments my eyes, I start to feel like the only beautiful thing about me is my eyes.
Be creative about compliments c:

misselley · Answer

Yes, everyone likes compliments. Just don't make it sound so fake, though. We like to hear compliments when we least expect it (well, in my opinion).

AleexNameTaken · Answer

yes, they love compliments cus girls are so selfish and care so much of themselves, they are like the seashell who didn't want to share it's pearl, know why? because the ShellFish was Selfish... got it? haha..

Jxpxtxr · Answer

I guess I like them in a way, but I can't handle them at all.  I will secretly always assume that people are lying..

Anonymous · Answer

I hate compliments based on the way I look. on anything else, which is fairly rare, I enjoy them. I take men more seriously when they have more to say than "you're really beautiful". I go for the guys who acknowledge other things about me.

thisdudejimmy · Answer

If you complement them they get tired of you. You're just another guy doing the same thing... if you don't complement them you're an asshole and they will look for complements else were. Girls are difficult like that. Good luck

Dude girls live for complements, they feed off them, they compete with each other for attention. They are infantile attention thriving sheep. They never grow out of it.
