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.
Regardless, TLDR, I prefer actions over words.
Most Helpful Opinions
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.
What Guys Said
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
Anything that shows her true feelings about spending time with me.
"I really like when we hang out together."
"I couldn't sleep last night because I kept picturing our date."
"I can't wait to see you again."
I know some of those sound weird, or desperate to most people. But you get the intent behind the message.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.
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.I have to agree with @ShadezMcgee
Actions, not words.
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.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.
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
I'm not really into compliments. I go by actions more than words anyway.
Meh, probably something to do with looks, like saying you look good overall and not just saying I have a good feature, like.
I do a lot for my appearance and have changed my looks up a lot, so getting noticed for it would be nice.
