Who would of guess that the perspective between men and women would be so different 🤔
Why don't women compliment men as often as men compliment women?
Superb Opinion
565 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. I think the way you have the multiple choice set up you won't get the accurate feedback you want.
Most pinks are going to believe it's a combination of both A and C, but they can't choose, so they'll be split unnecessarily.
People online can be friends and nothing more. Guys irl are probably saying compliments in the off chance that the girl is interested, it becomes an opening talking point. And if not, they're fine with that too, it's just an honest comment and they move on (or try to, and not take it as rejection or anything.)
I've looked at both males and females when I'm out and was very close to, or thought about complimenting them, but most times I did not because they did not look up, or in my direction, or look friendly or nice. And why bother giving them to people who don't seem like they would be appreciate. I've thought about commenting on cologne and perfume and I'm not sure how people would take that. I'm straight so I don't hit on women, and I'm married so I don't hit on men, so it would just be a genuine, no-strings-attached compliment, but they wouldn't know that. So I don't think it shows a harsh or mean society, just because it's not happening more often. It is what it is. The anti-feminist stuff bothers me, because I really question how many people have got yelled at, just for being nice. I find that very suspect that it's that commonplace.

We do compliment men. It's often that men wants something lustful and sexual instead of something genuine. It's all about the INTENT. I compliment all the time. But I don't as much now because, one they either think you're weird for complimenting them genuinely, especially if it's not based on sexual intent. And because they will assume that you're sexually interested in them when that is not the case.
1. Even though society revolves around women and their feels, I think a big part has to do with them not wanting to give off the 'wrong impression'. The thing is, the world is so full of simps, that you can't tell who is one and who isn't. So as soon as a girl compliments a dude, he immediately assumes she wants to sleep with him. Which doesn't have to be the case. So he starts to be all over her.
2. Women are raised in a way that they should be chased, and not do the chasing. And part of not chasing is not to give compliments.
3. A woman will NEVER compliment a man she is not interested in (see point #1).
4. If you want to be complimented by women, she must first be genuinely interested in you. And by getting them interested, you should never put them on a pedestal like the majority of simps in life, social media AND on this website.
5. Ego. Since they think they should be chased, many women think they are the ones deserving of compliments and that the world owes them everything, just because they have a vageegee. Hence, why you shouldn't feed their already inflated egos.

Most women are just biologically hardwired to sit back and let men pursue. That has them taking a passive role in the courting process. Men make all the bold moves, men take the chances, men initiate, men pay the compliments, men do the date planning and men set the pace.
Women get courted and at best try to "send signals" for the guy to read and take action on.
Do not respond with the "not all women" line. Nothing in life is 100%... we aren't talking about the micro exceptions to the rule but talking about the macro general norm among all of humanity. Most women are passive and let the men do all the courting.

If a guy does that you should kick him in the balls and mace the shit out of him. But yeah I get what youāre saying. Pretty much if a guy is unattractive, doesnāt know you and expresses his interest in getting to know you as a person, heās creepy and it makes you uncomfortable because you donāt know how heāll respond to the word ānoā. But if heās attractive heās just a regular human being with good intentions (even though heās still a stranger that could kidnap you, itās just more worth the risk.)
Canāt blame you though. Human beings can be pretty awful to eachother. Male or female. Men are just more physically powerful than most women. I donāt blame you for being more guarded.
With my male friends, I have always found it to be the opposite. I am very easy to give them compliments and they are more likely to shrug it off as whatever. When they are "interested" in a girl, they will shower her with compliments but then complain no girl gives them the time of day. I think girls are a lot more likely to give and receive compliments (many of us are raised to be very verbally appreciative). If I think a shirt makes them look sharp or if their new glasses frame their face well. Ill tell them personality compliments, like I wish I was so dedicated or driven etc. I think guys with female friends get compliments but are quick to dismiss them which is a different phenomenon than "Getting compliments" from girls [that they are sexually interested in].
When people compliment me I get ready Flustered and freeze up but I do try my best to hype up dudes as often as possible, when they are being reasonable, it's a lot harder to compliment guys in this generation because if I were to hype up my guy friends and some group of other guys saw they would say I'm for the streets. The good once do deserve more love tho Ong.

I would compliment them on their efforts, but not really looks. I just say that they look good and that's all, not "attractive" because I want to be humble about it. I think women should receive more compliments than guys though because that's just how it is. Men kind of have to put women on a pedestal if they want to attract them at first. But if you guys are married for a long time, it should be almost 50/50 I guess, because you guys are like best friends.

We compliment men. But one or two compliments at a time is enough; Iām not there to annoy him. Iām not gonna say compliment after compliment or question after question. Guys who do this to us just donāt know how to communicate. Also consider that when we compliment men itās usually the same guys, not every guy we see lol

Men donāt give me compliments though? Unless it was online. In real life I only had compliments a few times from young boys. I think men are too scared to get arrested for sexual harassment but whatās wrong with telling a gorgeous young girl sheās gorgeous? I do live in London though so that might have something to do with it because everyone is cold here. I also donāt know anyone.
I always give men compliments but idiotic people tell me not to. If I tell a man he has a sharp jawline some dumb bitch will say ādonāt say that people might take it wrong and I would feel uncomfortable if a man gave me compliments like that.ā Wtf bitch I would love it if more men appreciated my sharp features. - 401 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
Who says they don't? You don't"know" that women don't compliment their husbands or sex partners or how often. Maybe women don't "compliment" men they don't know as much as men do women they don't know. I always told my male manager at work that he was a great manager. I always told my husband what a great father he was. And a great musician he was.

I compliment my crushes when I want them to know that Iām actually into them.
But yes, I agree with the idea that men should also be complimented because they have wonderful qualities of their own. Itās kinda cute they donāt notice it until itās mentioned haha The overwhelming difference probably stems from how a lot of compliments men throw out to women is based on the foundation of thinking they have a shot with her rather than the complimeny being genuine.
That's what I tend to think about some compliments men give women on this app also.-
Because more women need them to feel okay about themselves. A woman is far more prone to developing insecurities.
Which is why a womanās friends will always hype her up, And a guys friends will make fun of him lmao. The body positivity campaign is also largely geared towards women.
Men typically need less of āpraiseā or āapprovalā to feel stable. Or do they? Maybe itās a societal expectation where men are expected to ādeal with itā? Maybe. 1.6K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. Probably cause the assumption men are tough and don't need the psychological support. Little do they know that means a lot. Even little stuff though actually does matter to guys. Something a little as "hows my tough guy doing? or handsome?" Can boost a guys moral. Small cutesy stuff can be sweet if its genuine.

I am called an attractive woman (Elsa like looks with narrow pointy nose, medium sized but nicely shaped lips, long pale blonde hair, cornflower blue eyes, angular facial bone structure with high cheek bones, and a ballet dancer body). I have had men develop crushes on me as soon as I compliment them or are too friendly with them. Men can easily interpret politeness or compliments as signs of interest and then it can become a very uncomfortable situation, especially if it is a man you are working with or studying with. Letting someone get the message that you don't have romantic interest in them is very difficult and sad, because you don't want to make someone sad but at the end of the day they will keep escalating with you until you tell them to stop, that it won't go anywhere.
Hey, men deserve more compliments 100%! But we as women gotta play hard to get sometimes :) I like being chased and men love chasing :)
Well cause men are the ones who appreciate the appearance of women more from what I see.. Don't get me wrong plenty of women appreciate the appearance of men, but naturally men are the ones who like to get the attention of women in a non seductive more blunt way..

they don't take you seriously when you do that because they automatically place on the type that is "throwing themselves at you" or wants the "D". it's stupid.
not all men of course but majority of you have this type of mindset, that's why i stopped doing that. Most of you guys are pathetic. complain about something, and then when you get it, you downgrade the girl for doing it. I think men should get more compliments but I also don't want them to think I'm interested. I'm also a shy person so I try to avoid interacting with anyone.
My last boyfriend always side-stepped and didn't acknowledge the compliments I gave him, so I don't think he agreed with them or else he didn't feel worthy of them.
With my current handsome boyfriend, we actually have little "compliment battles" where we just compliment each other back and forth for a little while and try to convince the other that we are the lucky one until we agree that we are both extremely lucky to have found each other.-
The women in my life compliment me more than I compliment them. I firmly believe that's one of the reasons I have women in my life.
Complimenting people superfluously or when they don't deserve it is counterproductive and seems disingenuous. 1.4K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. Makes me think, that women don't actually love men.
Or it carries a risk of developing into an unpleasant scenario, where the man mistakes it for flirty behavior.
Therefore we don't even know if we are attractive *to the opposite sex* specifically because of the lack of such proofs. We can look like A this month, then like B the next month (the opposite) - no compliments either way. There's no indicator whatsoever.I am a rare breed of woman.. I tell my husband how hot and sexy he is and how after 9 years he's still the hottest man I've ever gotten to touch, EVERY day and he gives me a compliment once a month if I'm lucky but its ok💞
