I can only speak for myself.. I compliment men if I'm in a relationship with. I don't complement strangers. Men throw random compliments to total strangers. I never understood that.
It’s called being a human being.
okay if you say so. people are different and that's okay.
tbh I give compliments all the time and yes its mostly for girls but I give compliments to guy (less I know) but I get really shy when I compliment guys bc I get treated like a girl that likes them
I agree with everything you said however men think women get crazy compliments everyday or regularly whereas no it’s not how you all imagine, many women don’t get any compliments in a year or so. Just like men.
Is it i Thaught they might be getting in months wid anyone...
Lol no
Well, we're speaking in generalities. There are always exceptions to the rule. But it doesn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority of women get more compliments than most men.
This is only a recent development and it’s because of things like MGTOW, which teaches men why complimenting women is not a useful and productive use of your time and energy, how dangerous it can be to compliment a woman, and only puts men in a position to be looked down on by women.
Sure there are women who don't get much compliments, and those are usually the less attractive ones, but try not to downplay the important factor that it pales in comparison to the average man. You mention "many women" while we speak of the average joe here. We've reached a point that an even lesser attractive girl can get tons of male attention because men of today are so desperate. That's what happens when almost an entire gender is deprived from love, affection and is facing sexual frustration.
@TruthBringer Unlike what you said, it’s no longer like that doesn’t matter how the girl looks like, unlike what you said men are no longer eager to approach women and you know that better, your upper comment explained it, Maybe it’s about where you live.
Geographical location is indeed is a very imporatant factor. Not to forget to mention today people would rather go on some dating app than approach in real life out of convenience. And yet still end up even more frustrated and down compared to before they even used them. Guys are more eager to compliment attractive girls than unattractive ones. But like I said, if you compare the unattractive girl to the average joe, you will find out that the unattractive girl has more suitors as well as getting more compliments than your average joe. For an unattractive guy, it's even worse.
I fortunately don't have to deal with this myself and got plenty of compliments. But a big reason for this is not just genes but because I managed to work hard to what I have achieved in my life that has allowed me to get compliments. I still see it happen around me to other guys who either didn't put the same amount of work in their development or are simply unlucky in the genetic spectrum. It's can be quite depressing just to see how society doesn't give a damn about them.
Because men don't want verbal compliments. Pussy is the compliment. When I lost weight and started working out I got tons of compliments from women but I couldn't give a shit.. I wanted to get laid and I was frustrated because I wasn't getting, even though they complimented me.. Then I learned I need to be the one complementing and learn to talk to them and not just be some pretty boy and expect girls to drag me home.
That's what I think is the case of all men who complain how unfair it is to be a man.
@Ks8wbrsjs Yeah it's a real epidemic.
@Soremain well he even pointed out how unfair it is so what exactly are you talking about?
The real epidemic is narcissistic women who think they deserve to be worshiped.
This was really funny to read. We do compliment men and not all girls want a man with perfect abs. It is a plus but not necessary.
Why would you want someone with a less than perfect anything? If you can choose whatever you want from the catalog, why take an L on any front?
Because I am not attracted to perfection and I also don't think perfection is beauty.
This is a lie. 🤷🏽♂️😂
Why do you say that?
The bigger picture is, yes women DO compliment men, but there is nuance to this. Your average joe barely gets any compliments while "the top percentage of men" (as they call them nowadays) do. Now, I don't consider myself a top-percenter, yet I do get a fair share of compliments just on looks alone. And if they get to know me better, they compliment my personality, intellect and other qualities. So women DO compliment men IF they happen to feel somewhat attracted to that man (sexually or non-sexually).
In comparison to the average girl, the average guy doesn't get much compliments or support. Kind of explains why suicide rate and unresolved traumas or issues among men are far higher than that of women. I know I'm diverting away a bit. But long story short, women do compliment men, just not the average guy.
It is not like that.
Keep yourself that 👌
If believing that would make you feel better, go ahead.
I honestly think this is true in some instances. Yes it's true women usually don't go out of their way to compliment a guy but if you compliment them in a nice and respectful manner over time they start complimenting you and you start to notice more and more compliments. I had this recently where i had complimented a lady friend for looking nice. And she had done the same to me. Where as a totally different person had complimented me a few weeks later without me saying anything. Sure it's not everyday where you get compliments but if you don't try too hard to be noticed someone will.
I know of too many Women who feel there are Men out there who "owe" them in one fashion or another. There are Women who think their hands should be open and filled at all times. Then again there are those who just don't compliment, and there are those who carry the mentality that since THEY were never complimented, why should the men?
Almost never? Man, that's just not true. Most of the time it just goes over our heads. However, it is true that women don't really prefer to directly compliment men, unlike us. I mean sometimes they do, but most (especially in the early stages of flirting) compliment you indirectly. For example "i like talking to you" is an indirect compliment, and it means that she likes you, but it also means you are a smooth talker. Still, all of us have AT LEAST one good feature that they will compliment you on directly (eg. eyes, muscles, jawline etc.).
So yes, they rarely use the words like 'handsome" and "cute", but they still complement us.
"Let me, as a man, tell you what women are thinking and the motivations behind their actions"
this is not about what women think. it's about what they say. and men can hear what you say. excuse me? Didn't ask for feminism lady.
@DonRollins well you got it
I don't know maybe I'm different but I love looking at his body especially when he's fucking me. Hell yeah I check out men all the time. I'm just not obvious about it
Ummmm... ur not different, this post is about women not giving men compliments, not about whether or not women check out men. We all know that women check out men
@Rippersavage but how is she going to make this about her if she doesn’t ignore the question at hand? 😂
@Tiptoetamm
Love this!!!
Guess I should have been more clear. I compliment men I'm interested in, I give compliments during sex tell him how much his body turns me on. I don't just give compliments to all men. Honestly you shouldn't be complimenting anyone unless you mean it
In my opinion it's the reason is more related to number 3. I don't compliment someone who I am not romantically involved.
Yeah, sadly this is often the case (number 3 that is). because men generally don't get much compliments from women, they see anyone who does as someone who might have a romantic interest in them. It's counterproductive, but understandable.
#3 Is the biggest reason I don't ~ I'd love to give more compliments to men but more often than not it leads to them making sexual advances on me
Complimenting them in passing isn't as bad because it's only a brief moment, but I've learned to not really compliment male friends anymore which is sad, because I'd love to.
Just wish they could take it platonicly
Actually if a girl compliments me without being interested in me... i dont wanna hear it unless it's a genuine 'general' innocent compliment. But also i learned to seriously hate '*myname* your such a niice person".
I dont consider that a compliment. Im a nice person whether you mention it or not >.<.
Also... i dont recall being seriously complimented ever. never been complimented by even an ex.
One of the problems is that a lot of times if a woman compliments a man, he thinks she wants him.
Yeah they get overconfident so why bother
Same with a guy, many girls think just because you are talking to them that you are flirting with them and want to be with them. I guess they think all men want to be with them.
And women don't get overconfident?
Same can be said about girls
@malwins that’s hilarious considering that just saying hi to a woman gets you “sorry, I have a boyfriend”, as if saying hi means we want you. Imagine being such a narcissist that you think guys saying hello automatically means they want to fuck you. 😂
I use to get girls saying things to me and I do not say things to girls that much. I told a girl I like it when she sings. I told a girl I like her hair. girls tell me that I am cute. other people think that I am smart. I feel like I am a jerk. I insulted my friend today.
1. I've had women compliment me before
2. actually estrogen makes weight loss harder, and If i don't eat like a hippo I lose weight easy, testosterone = easier weightloss, higher metabolism, no gym needed unless you wanna be super ripped.
3. Most of what you said or posted is innaccurate.
I always compliment men I’m into. I like to flirt. it’s fun. I have found many guys don’t know how to accept compliments though.
"3. Women seem to have the idea, that if they compliment us men or are friendly or caring towards us, that we misinterpret it as their romantic or sexual interest." well that is certainly the case very often.
Women I've dated, had relationships with, or friends, etc have all complimented me either daily or sometimes. I like to talk sweet with my woman when in a relationship so it's usually complimenting each other most of the time.
My truck gets more compliments than I ever have and most of them are from other men lol.
It's not my fault when women don't compliment me. The important thing is to stop caring and validate/compliment yourself. I stopped caring, and my perception changed. At this moment, while I appreciate compliments, I'm perfectly happy without them. Women and men both give me compliments. Interestingly enough, it's happened more often since I stopped caring about them.
