What compliments do girls like the most?

Question

i_am_shyvana · Accepted Answer

You are awesome. You are cute. You are pretty. You are amazing. You are an amazing artist. You are a god at slayer! You are wicked smart... It's amazing how you are determined to learn this instrument. I love your style of playing the piano, it's so elegant.
Compliments, compliments, compliments... there is such a broad spectrum on what people like. Especially girls. There are a lot of girls who like being complimented on their appearances. You are hot, you are sexy, you are beautiful or cute or pretty etc. Yes, actually most girls like that. I certainly don't mind it. But what really makes me see a guy is if he compliments me on something I've done, but especially if the compliment actually means something. If it's personal. Such as that piano compliment I typed above. Anyone can tell anyone that they are pretty, and as a result it's sort of lost its meaning. However, you can't just tell anyone that they are a god at slayer (halo, for all those scrubs out there) or that their style of piano playing is elegant. those are personal compliments, and they really show someone that you pay attention to those kinds of things. that their effort paid off. and that you care about them, if you want to zoom out on it. and i also like being complimented on being awesome and amazing, not in like an arrogant or egotistical way. its a fun, cute sign of respect, and it also shows that the guy himself is not egotistical and he is humble.

There are different types of compliments a guy could give, and each of them contribute to something different. For example, if a guy complimented something I am good at, and is my hobby, that would make me feel happy because it reassures me that I am good at what I do, and that other people like that I'm doing something I enjoy. The choice of words that they use in the compliment could also have a different effect. Physical beauty is often noticed by other people, which makes it less special to receive. So saying someone is beautiful might have more effect than saying she's hot, or cute. I have insecurities and I think many other girls do as well. If a guy can compliment something that bothers her, that would be something she would remember. For example if a girl says she doesn't like her smile, but he says that she has the cutest little smile he's ever seen, that would make her day. In general: When complimenting a girl, it's important to give her a compliment that she doesn't receive often. Something spontaneous and out of the blue, and can make her feel better about herself and maybe less insecure if she is insecure! If everyone tells me I'm smart, then maybe I'd want him to give me a compliment I haven't heard! Hope that helps!! :) Have a wonderful day!

Being told " You're the type you marry, not use." A crush told me that when I was 17.
I grew up living in the coal region. Same guy told me "You're the only diamond in all these hills of coal." lol
For me I like cheesy compliments. I think those 2 comments are more about knowing the person to be able to say it to them truthfully.
As a stranger giving a compliment. I like the normal obvious ones. Other girls have already mentioned them. Eyes/ Lips/ just a basic compliment on looks beautiful/ pretty/ gorgeous/ sexy (depend on how I'm dressed if it makes sense to be called that.)/ cute (depends on how it's said.) The only ones I don't like are compliments on my body. Nice ass/tits/ etc. Thats saved for someone I'd already been dating for a while.

MrMysteryMan · Accepted Answer

Probably compliments that express how good they make you feel in whatever way that is. Things like:

- "I love how you light up my life, just for being in it."
- "I need you to be in my life. Without you, I'm less of a person."
- "Your support is what I need."
- "I like talking with you. It's nice to have intelligent conversations for a change."
- "I could lay in bed all day with you. Makes me feel relaxed and happy."

It also depends on the circumstance as well though. For instance, I think women love to hear really naughty things as reassurance when they are doing naughty things or in that frame of mind with you. Even, if it would be sort of seen as degrading in other circumstances. For example:

- "Mmmm fuck I love how your tongue feels."
- "You taste so good, I could devour you all day."
- "You're such a sexy little slut aren't you?"
- "I want to use that ass and make you my dirty little sex toy."
- "You made me cum so hard."

But it's all in the girl and circumstance I would think how they react to any compliment.

I NEVER give compliments , unless actually earned , same as respect , it must be earned first.

ChronicThinker · Answer

Most girls will say their smarts or personality, which is true, but if you only compliment a woman on her personality or intelligence, she'll take it as she isn't attractive. So every girl wants to know she's a bombshell - a bombshell with unique interests and quirks that you notice and appreciate.

Apope16 · Answer

I never compliment a girl's looks. Even an average looking chic has heard that all the time.

I compliment a woman based on her personality or her talent. That is the way for a guy to stand out from the rest.

If you compliment a chic based on her looks she will see it as cheesy or cheap. But if you give her a compliment that is unique and SPECIFIC TO HER AND HER ONLY... then she will be thinking of that compliment for the rest of the day or a long time. And everytime she thinks of that compliment she will think of you.

Be specific. Don't just call a girl smart. Tell her why she is smart. Don't just say she is funny, tell her how or why she is funny. The more specific you are the more she will remember it and be drawn to you.

Another winner is to take notice of a specific quirk that she has. You can be playful about her quirk or make an observation about it. This shows that you know her at a deeper level. it shows that you are connecting and paying attention to her.

The least attractive the chic, the more acceptable appearance compliments are in order for them to be impactful. The hotter the chic, the less appearance based compliments you should give.

HP992 · Answer

A compliment should be given because you seem something you want to compliment, not because a woman exists in front of you. If she has a really awesome hair dye job and you want to tell her you like it, you can just say "Hey I really like your hair." And that's it. A compliment is at face value and that applies for all people, not just one gender. Everyone likes a compliment they feel is genuine and given genuinely.
If you're asking yourself "Oh a woman, I wonder what I should compliment her on" you're already doing it wrong.

annjan · Answer

From my own perspective the worst "compliment" I've ever received was that i looked like a porn star in a positive way.. that really pissed me off because I can't think of people with more fake looks than a porn star.. but apparently that was a "good" compliment from a guys perspective (?). The best compliment I've ever received was on a day, hanging with my boyfriend, no make-up, hair all over the place and comfy sweats and he said "done something different today? Cuz you look extraordinarily beautiful today" really made my day. And I love it when they compliment my intelligence, because that is rare for me.. mostly just body comments and that is just so superficial.. and doesn't really mean much in the end when you hear it too often..

danette03 · Answer

Its not what you compliment her for, but how convincing you are. But overall, whatever it is, in order to believe you , it must be for something she is already aware of like next types :
1. You look great ! (Appearence, clothes... phisical features , nice eyes, nice smile )
2. You are so brilliant ! ( When she achieves somth, a diploma, a job task... when she gave a spewch, a reply.. etc )
3. You are amazing ! ( She did somth... like she cooked (if eatable, its enough to say it toher :)) , or she drived good (if arrived in time its counting) , she performed in bed...(i. ll leave you to choose the standard :)) ) or she made you a gift (you dont get to hate it !)
Hopeit helped.

mneofthestate · Answer

I honestly cannot tell you. With today's down with men movements, I am afraid that if I show interest in a woman, I may get in trouble. How am I supposed to know if what I say will be interpreted as an actual innocent compliment or an unwanted advance. I am not saying that these sexual predators and serial harassers do not deserve whatever they get but it just seems as though we, men, are now at best suspect and at worse guilty before we open our mouths or even just look in the wrong direction. If I tell a woman, "you look very nice today" am I supposed to know beforehand if she is open to that complement or not? I told one of my classmates that same thing when we had a formal function and everyone was dressed in suits and dresses. I was called creepy by several people, others thought it was just a thoughtful comment, as it was.

utterlyclueless777 · Answer

I know it sounds cheesy, but use old-fashioned comments that flatter a girl's facial features/ hair or personality DO NOT compliment her breasts or butt or waist unless she expressly asks you to you'll seem like a f**ckboy. And even then be very gentlemanly about it. DO NOT compare her to other girls and don't lie about the way she looks or behaves, it'll give her false confidence in things that she may not possess. Oh and don't act surprised if she looks extra special one day, you'll come across as though she doesn't look nice already.

GoodManDave · Answer

I don’t know, as most women seem to absolutely HATE most of the compliments I give.

But here’s what I aim for: compliment a talent, compliment a choice of clothing. But with the clothing, I try to make it a quick one, and try to make sure it doesn’t sound like I’m being a pervert. I try to be brief, not go on and on... and be genuine.

Though apparently, “hey, I like your bracelet” is translated to “I like the way your ass looks, sugar. why don’t we go bump uglies?” When to me it means... “hey, that bracelet has a cool design.” “I dig your sense of fashion” means “I want to make babies with you.”

Their eyes, or something like that, it seems cheesy most of the time, and they can’t control it - and if they have pretty eyes, or amazing genes... they probably hear it all the time, anyway. I don’t want to be boring and do something everyone else does just because I don’t want to take the time to notice a detail or something that looks like she put in some effort.

Picturethisclev · Answer

Girls love anything that makes them feel beautiful and wanted. If you don't give the girl the attention she needs she will seek it elsewhere. It's in a man's blood, only you can answer that question. Every girl has a different heart, only you can figure out the key to unlocking it. Many men use it in bad ways, I myself am guilty of it. We are the same age and I used a girl for four years. I cheated dozens of times all the while saying what needed to be said. The real question is, do you mean what you say. Anything can be a compliment, if the intentions are pure. Good luck young grass hopper.

404notfound · Answer

physical or psychological compliment on something i've worked for, that i don't have naturally or on something i don't usually hear
for example if this girl doesn't wear fancy outfits and you know she has worked hard to get ready, compliment her about it
or if for example you know she practiced a lot on I don't know drawing and you see some of her stuff, you should compliment that...
Even if you don't know her that well, complimenting her hairdo, instead of its color or her eyes is going to make you stand out
just my opinion tho

Anonymous · Answer

Something I didn't expect to be honest. Originality is key here. Once I had a guy compliment me on my nails. I almost fell of my chair, as I bite my nails and they look ugly (which I dont care about at all). When I asked him why he liked them, he told me how he is displeased with women who are paying attention and money to things as frivolous as their nails and that he finds it refreshing how broken nails don't cause me to be distressed. I loved that a lot. :)

Sweetbunny · Answer

every girl is different but what I wanted to hear was "I love you, I will always love you & only you. My heart will for ever be yours & only yours. I hope that we can join one another in death & get buried side by side when we leave this world to meet one another again on the other side"

Anonymous · Answer

Compliments on my personality or talents/hobbies (sports, music, art, etc). Oh and intelligence too. Not saying guys need to say we’re einstein’s twin, but just compliments on intelligence is a good self esteem and confidence booster

Compliments I find I don’t like, believe it or not, are actually my looks. I find that if a guy compliments me on my appearance in such a way, it comes off as “I want sex from you” or “I’m a huge fuckboy and want your body” rather than how it’s likely supposed to be taken

Anonymous · Answer

I hate those cheesy compliments that you could tell anyone, like 'you have beautiful eyes'.
I don't really prefer compliments about my appearance either, but of course there are some that are better than others. (It's better if it's not something sexual...).
I think the best kind of compliments can be given by people who know me. Or if someone is just getting to know me I like when they say something like 'I like the way you think/talk about...', it can be anything that is true to me. (I'm kind of screwed up, I have lots of problems, but someone recently told me how strong I am, and it meant the world to me.)

My current BF's opener was "I bet you have a pretty smile" It made me smile. He said "See?" and went back inside.

Anonymous · Answer

From a guy I like or just in general if he likes something about my personality and genuinely likes it and gives real compliments then that would be nice.
Physically ik I'm not the best looking so if someone actually really thought I was beautiful it'd be weird but a nice thing, though id rather be complimented on my personality rather than looks.
Also when someone calls me smart is just amazing.. Lol I don't know I just value that stuff so much and if someone really sees me that way then that makes me happy.

InfoBot · Answer

Tell her that her hair is less greasy than usual and that the makeup has really improved how her nose looks.

Andrea_ · Answer

I think the best compliment you can give a girl is commenting on their personality! If you really like that girl, you really should know how she feels, what she likes, what she dislikes, etc. If you can really notice those things, make her know! She will appreciate it as she realizes that you pay attention to the little things of her personality. Such as, if she’s kind, humble, caring, FUNNY (if a guy compliments my sense of humor, i will definitely fall in love)
You can also comment in little oddities (if she has) such as what she does when she’s nervous, when she does something in a particular way, etc.
by the way, if she’s shy and she blushes don’t comment on that 😇 (because of my personal experience) I’m a very shy girl until you meet me, but if I blush and a guy tells me ‘oh, you blushed!’ I will get EVEN more blushed and I hate that, really really hate that😂
Hope it helped!

Wenchantedy · Answer

Best compliments are compliments from the heart. Telling her simple and honest things that apply to her would make her extremely flattered. Although, never make up random comments on a girl as that would back fire. Be genuine and honest, any girl would appreciate that the most!

TayTay21 · Answer

Tell me I look fit, or that you can tell I hit the gym hard, or that I'm super lean etc. One of the best compliments I've ever gotten was when a guy told me that I looked out of place at my gym. I started to get mad, and he said it was because I looked like a fitness competitor who should be at a serious gym rather than 24.

moosette134 · Answer

I like when he notices things about me. The way I do certain things, the clothes I'm wearing, etc. I also like when they compliment the things I do for them. For example, the guy I'm currently seeing has said things like "You give the best back rubs," and "I like when you play with my hair," etc. Which A) lets me know what to keep doing because I want to make him feel good, and B) is just sweet to comment on at all.

13inLx3inW · Answer

I know this sounds a bit fucked up. And everytime I answer this question honestly I catch shit for it called names and cussed out. But I maintain that this has something that's gotten me down a girl's pants everytime I have used it. Here it goes:

Walks up to a girl
"Excuse me. I just has to tell you that you're seriously gorgeous. You are in my opinion as close to my idea of perfection as one can get. You're just missing one thing..."

A variety of comments follow:
"What's that?"
"Let me guess, it's you "
Etc
Etc

My response:
" My dick in your mouth!"

65% of the time they follow offended for about 5 minutes

Thanks rest look at me startled
As as I say:
"Are we going to fuck or what?"
They stop the initial reaction and we proceed to find a place to fuck.
Wish I could say I'm bullshit.
But 125 girls. 125 times it's worked.

Wytiocha · Answer

The best compliment is from your heart. And it becomes not a compliment but a feeling, and you share that feeling with her. For example, not saying you are pretty, some of the girls will say "Nah, you are lying. Once I said to my girl: "You are astonishing in the morning, like sunrise, while looking at it you want the time to stop. In the evening you are like a sunset, beautiful to see, too hot to touch, with your evening dress which perfectly fits on your perfect body. And in the day you are like a perfect sunny day, sometimes with a little rain, when drops slowly falling to the ground. You make me calm, dream, love." After that she said nothing. So, I guess, you don't need to say "pretty, beautiful" try to say it in other words, try to work with her imagination, try to share your feeling with her, not only words. :)

creative_art · Answer

Honestly, I don't know how to react anymore when I get a compliment by guys. I think it's because I have met several who just throw compliments out in the air until sex falls out. Lol
I have never given in to these compliments when I realize the intent behind it. But it flattering to be told your beautiful. Always lifts my spirit.

yodaiam · Answer

I tell them they've got sugar tits and a sweet ass... they seem to go all bashful, blush and go quiet after I says those things to them. That or don't say anything, just grab them right in the pussy or pinch their ass... Girls love that shit. They go crazy. You should see how passionate some of em react. They go red in the face and act mad but you know they like it.

Tushnim · Answer

I have no idea, lol. Besides, that only works in flattery. If there is something about her or something she has done that you appreciate, you obviously won't compliment her eyes regardless of the actual point of appreciation.
And if it is flattery you wish to bestow, then who cares what you're saying as long as it sounds good? :P
Just don't go overboard with it. Even compliments start sound insincere after too many repetitions.

Kreneman · Answer

When I complement women, timing is everything especially for women that have been approach constantly that have a whatever attitude or women that takes complement the wrong way. I like to use words or say things in different ways that they never heard before like (Which I believe is universal in complementing women and what I think they like the most): I Love your hair; hey, nice shoes or outfit, where did you get them; In my eyes, your the definition of beauty.

Nobodyx · Answer

Only when you mean it.
When I did something sweet, or said something smart, or when when you like my necklace or shoes or something.

But I'm bad with compliments. When you say you look beautiful I can't take the compliment, or when you say you are sweet I can't take it because I'm not always sweet.

Some girls you can't satisfy. I've told one girl that she had nice eyes, dimples and hair. She told me that was really weird, and that guys like butts and boobs. I told what she had was very attractive. We already had talked about why i liked her personality. I don't know, maybe that is an exception, and she has a distorted view of reality.

LianaTomlinson · Answer

Everything as long as you truly mean it and it isn't sexually harassing. But I think the best compliments are the unique ones. If you compliment someone for their eyes e. x. It isn't that much because they born with them. Maybe if you compliment someone on things that not everyone seeing, like :I like the way you look when you try to concentrate and you bite your lips. Little stuff like that matters the most ;)

wadewilson616 · Answer

When you see someone and haven't interacted with them you are probably either paying a compliment based on clothes (which I do for guys also because it has nothing to do with my interest in them) or on looks. The reality is looks is 99% of the time why we are interested and then we want to learn about you so we can pay other compliments.
