Simple little stuff to me like a thanks for x y and or z. Just being appreciated as a part of others lives is kinda nice if we are your friend. It I guess makes it feel less like we are being just taken advantage of just cause ya know guys in general can lift the unnecessarily heavy stuff for others doesn't mean our strength should just get taken for granted. Its like the basic idea of simply getting noticed and a little appreciation goes a long way. like simply small kind comments mean more than most appreciate. Just the knowledge that your not invisible is pretty nice. Don't like have to pander us or anything but just sometimes little comments especially if you see us not having a good day can easily brighten a guys day and who knows what it leads to. Its not hard to just be able to spread kindness instead of cut others down.
I'm quite confident about my values. If someone says that I look good, or I have an intellectual vibe or good sense of humour, I'm just like "I know you're not the first person who said that". I mean I don't day it cus I jave enough social skills to be humble but it literally makes no difference to my life. But what is not granted how you personally feel about those qualities. There are people who don't like being silly and joke around, there are ones who don't feel comfortable around smart people yet they don't wanna apear to be dumb so they wouldn't say that but will never truly appreciate others intelligence. So if you give a compliment start it with "I like..." E. g., "I like how you think", "I like your sense of style". Don't try to present it like it was a fact, make sure they know it is your opinion.

I think that most of us guys would always appreciate a "small" compliment about something that we actually did or accomplished. Doesn't matter if it's big or little deal to anyone else, but if we worked to do anything, we like you to notice.
Example: If I am not normally dressed better than jeans and t-shirt, but wear something that is a step up, let us know you like it. We will instantly assume this: you like what *I* did or chose to do. If you go overboard, however, like "That is greatest thing I've ever seen on you or anyone and I think the whole world should look you..." you went too far! LOL! Most us guys are not the macho dude who needs people inflating our egos to make us happy.
Just noticing us in small, genuine observing ways make a wonderfully giant impression!
I'm not really compliment-driven, but I do appreciate gratitude, attention to detail, and observation.
Compliments should be specific and honest. Add detail to it so it doesn't seem like flattery.
A lot of women stop me to say they like my clothes. I'm always thinking that's an invitation. I should probably assume "yes," because there's no harm in a flirty chat.
I like it when women compliment me on how I handle unruly kids with patience, boundaries-setting, and gentle attitude adjustments.
The best compliments relate specifically to the individual & particular talents. For example, a man who cooks well would appreciate being complemented on it; it he makes something very well, say, "You make the best ___." If you don't know any of his talents, maybe compliment how he smells (if he smells good) or some clothing accessory that he seems to take pride in.
Another way to compliment without complimenting is to ask for help doing something - picking something up, fixing something for you, etc. Of course these work best if you are certain he can help.
Very mixed on my end. My intelligence, like "you're so smart, you know literally everything", or my looks like "Wow, you're beautiful, the most handsome man I've seen".
I realize this sound very conceited but these are legit compliments I have gotten. Recently even. What would I want more of? Well keep 'em coming like they have been really. As long as it is 100% honest and not just trying to be nice or fake.
Honestly any compliment that comes from a genuine place. I’ve been called Adorable in a club and it made the rest of my week. My friend told me I’d be a cool woman. What does that mean? I don’t know, but I take it as a compliment 🤣👌
Simple stuff can be enough. Being rather quiet, someone even expressing the smallest interest in me often feels like a compliment.
Can't speak for others but I generally don't like being complimented, especially by strangers. At max I appreciate it when friends or family compliment some ability or talent of mine.
Just be genuine. Quit trying to gain something or earn something. It's just fake, and anybody can see right through that.
I like to be complimented on my personality & character
If a lady told me I'm smart, kind, funny and romantic, that would make me very happy 😊
I mean I accept anything unless sexual, but if i were to pick one, calling us funny or that you enjoy their company is such an amazing feeling
I dont take "spoken" compliments seriously. More often, they are not sincere. I see compliments from actions and gestures.
Just make sure the compliment is well founded and not just something you say to make him feel good.
I like ones that says I did a great job on a project or something
I'll give you a tip:
Guys don't give a shit about compliments, unless they're coming from our woman.
We're not attention seekers like girls are.
The most honest one. You have plenty to choose from.
any compliment at all. I haven't gotten a compliment from a girl outside of my family in a year and a half.
Anything you genuinely mean : )
I would lime to be called cute more because irl i seem very intimidating.
I can't remember the last time I received a compliment
