I wouldn't take it seriously and figure she was just telling me what I want to hear. I prefer actions over words since people can lie through their teeth without so much as batting an eye.
The women we get most compliments from come from our family or family friends like mom, grandma, aunts, etc. You can only hear "You're so handsome/cute" from them for so long before it gets old and feel crummy when no women your age outside of them say it.
The best compliment I got was from my now wife. When we first started dating I told her our dates would be later at night and on weekends because I was starting up a new company and working long hours. I was hoping she would understand because I really liked her. She completely understood and said, "thank you for being honest. I already feel strong feelings for you and this makes them even stronger. Honesty and a guy who is driven and a hard worker are two important traits to me". It wasn't a HUGE compliment but to me it spoke volumes about her character also.
Kind the best I've gotten is from this girl I was dating. See the thing is in reality I give different vibe to people. Until of course they get to know me.
Her exact words were : Thank you for not selling me aboard. I was afraid after getting inside your car that this was the end of me. You are so scary and intimidating in reality. Yet once we talked you are really nice person.
I was like wow thanks first girl to say this lmao. Had lots of laugh on the way back lmao I was like lol do I really give this vibe! 🤣🤣🤣
I have heard so many compliments and to be honest with you I don't like them the embarrassment and I change the subject really quick because I'm not doing anything special I'm just being myself and yeah there's and there's this be makes me turn red LOL
Yeah I really don't I mean I do a lot of things for a lot of people and I always hear you're amazing you're you're such a good guy or I love you thank you for being here for me and It embarrasses me I and doing whatever I did because I could I did it because I don't nobody would do it for me so just kind of embarrasses me I usually just ignore it or I say okay thanks and that's it I change the subject I did it because I could I did it because I wanted to I did it because I was able to and that's not a big deal to me
One of these days I'll stop using voice texting and proofread it before I click Send and you can say damn Steve your words finally came out right you're amazing LMAO
Must say I gotten so sick of words over the years. I heard it all for example, of nice things I mean, compliments, but the actions never back it up, it all seems hollow, pointless and empty. Rather have a gesture of any kind, action rather than words.
Could be anything really, if romantic partner than anything that shows that you think of me. Sometimes it just nice with a hug even. Life can be so brutal and cold at times.
I've never received a compliment by any female before, and girls & women in general do not ever compliment men on anything (unless they're dating/married to them, and even then it's rare). So I have no idea what to say to this question.
Hypothetically, she'd say something like "You are more than enough for me, in both spirit and height, and I love you EXACTLY as you are." That's what my ex probably might have eventually said to me, but the moment never came around.
It's about the promises you keep, being honest, and... about your actions.
It's less about special things you want to do to "prove" how much they mean to you (although those are sometimes dear too), but the way you treat them, is how you want to be treated. With respect and caring.
I was once told by a girl that I'd win Big Brother if I ever entered as I got along with everyone... I mean with hindsight it's a bit of a sh! t compliment as basically she was saying I was vanilla... but hey I'll take it lol
all kinds. partly depends on the dynamic with the compliment giver. if its someone we are dating, something intimate is appropriate but if its lets say someone random in a grocery store, something intimate most likely will not be appropriate.
it varies still. from mundane things like "ty for fixing/cleaning/moving/doing xyz" to things more intimate like "you were amazing in bed lastnite" or even a sort of cheesey pickup line. some compliments do not even have to be verbal. you see i am stressed a little, maybe as i sit down (to eat, watch tv, do something online, etc) just walk up and give a slight shoulder rub (like a massage but about as long as a pat on the back) .
You would think that but I'll give you an example.. Did you ever see the movie with Tom Hanks.. Big? He's wearing that mad Tux and takes the girl he likes back to his place. She pays him a compliment and he doesn't know what to do with it.. Like a fish out of water.. I'm the same.
Girls who have seen my face don't compliment me and those that haven't seen my face always say what they think I want to hear but if they saw my face, they wouldn't try to compliment me.
That I'm not ugly or the I'm probably really handsome. One girl I had a video chat with from a Facebook depression support group said she wanted to see my face because she said there was no way girls call me ugly all the time and that I'm probably really handsome so I accepted her video call and she gave a disgusted look and ghosted me and ever since I have refused to be in any photo or video call.
Frankly I feel like most compliments in romantic relationships is the other person either exaggerating positive traits I have or projecting positive traits they wish I had onto me.
But if I get a feeling that the compliment is sincere then my favorites are kinda like..
"You're so handsome Jux, I like your thick eyebrows, hairy chest and blue eyes I can just get lost in. You give the best cuddles too."
"I feel so understood by you, you really get how I think."
"I won't let you face this alone, I'm here for you. I know you'd do the same for me."
Don't get them often, although one lady when she got her car back from our shop said "thanks for not being creepy". Apparently she whent to another shop and got learned at by the mechanics. Not quite sure if it's a compliment but I'll take it.
Clearly! That’s sad to hear. Sometimes it’s just nice to be nice

I agree. Unfortunately I think this is where we are as a society. I avoid complimenting women because everytime I do I get a suspicious "ok..." as a response. Because the assumption is you can't just give a compliment there's always got to be an ulterior motive. I don't blame their suspicion in me based on many guys actions. I'm just saying it's to bad this is where we're at as a society.
I’m sorry to hear that. It’s a shame that you can’t compliment someone without people feeling some kind of way. But yeah, it can be triggered by past experiences. I think sometimes you should be nice for the sake of seeing someone smile.
I always compliment guys I’ve dated and even my guy friends and colleagues. Sometimes it’s nice just to be nice but I wasn’t sure if guys even liked me doing this.
