Guys: What compliments do you like to hear?

Question

We always talk about women receiving compliments, but I hear men also complaining about how they never receive compliments. So what compliments do you like to hear? What do you like to be complimented on?

Guys: What compliments do you like to hear?

It's not entirely true that men never get compliments - we do, but they are almost always based on what we have accomplished - whether we fixed a car or got a promotion at work or whatever, we get compliments on our deeds.

What most men rarely or never receive are PERSONAL compliments, whether that's about our looks, our clothes/style, or our character. We are almost never recognized as being a good person or for being attractive in some way. Of course, the exceptionally good-looking guys get those compliments, but the bottom 90% of guys almost never get them.

I've seen a big, strong man have to leave a room because a woman gave him a personal compliment and he broke down and couldn't handle it - having gone years without a personal compliment. You would be surprised at how far a simple compliment can get you in a relationship.

That’s very helpful, I’ll keep it in mind. Although I never really thought there was a difference with compliments and now it makes sense why some guys react differently to personal compliments. Thank you for sharing 😊

I'd like any compliment on my overall attractiveness, tbh. But I honestly don't know what I'd do if a woman gave me one besides saying a gratuitous "thanks". I doubt I'd believe her anyways because words without actions don't really mean much and we all know that women lie. So a compliment wouldn't have much impact if it's not backed up by any follow-through.

I totally dislike all types of compliments. I never wish to hear any from anyone.

However that being said, I don't control anyone's actions so people can compliment me if they want too, anybody can but I will not respond, I will not say anything meaning I will give a deaf ear to it and ignore it.

i was dating a tall girl amd i went to kiss her and stepped off the step and instead of being face to face we were face to breast. she said "you're short" i said "just as short as the last few times we went out" she said "i guess i never noticed" it was hard not to notice im 5'5" and she is 5'10"

My eyes, personality, work ethic, faith, ambition, determination. As you can probably tell from my compliment preferences, I just want to be noticed. Fortunately, there are a few girls that give me these compliments. It's just not as often as I'd like. I believe I am a very fun person to be around, I just don't get handed compliments as often as I give them.

Same as women get, I think i can recall the compliments that really hit on one hand. People often say things like "dapper" or "smart" but it seems quite shallow compliment

i find that women usually only give compliments in the hopes that you will reciprocate with a compliment to them or if they’re trying to get something they want.
Asker

That’s a valid statement but I’d say is not like that with every woman. Now I have a feeling that the women that have complimented you actually likes you because women are always expecting the compliments first and so doing it is out of the norm unless there are special feelings involved. Personally if I find something beautiful in your personality, your physique or things you do, I’ll complimented you because I’d think you are worth it and without any expectations. So simply take the compliments, don’t pay them back and then you’ll tell if she likes you and if she’s genuine about it 😊

@skeetskeetskeet Wow. You get compliments from tarts on your goddamn shoes and your cologne.

How are you responsible for either of those things? You didn’t make those shoes. You didn’t make that cologne. They are complimenting someone and something else. Not you. But go on believing it is meant for you. They’d like your cologne on any other swinging dick in whatever place you find yourself. You could give a goddamn one eyed midget with Down syndrome a spritz of your cologne and they’d compliment the guy.

Well done! That’s some personal achievement you’ve, uh, mastered?
