Guys, what compliments do you want to hear from women?

[Pinay_ako]

That will make your day and make you happy? Women like to be called beautiful.

[ProbablyClueless]

I've felt really flattered when women tell me how safe I make them feel.

[Pinay_ako]

That’s an honour to hear that

[WhiteBoyChill]

“Hi handsome”

[Pinay_ako]

My favourite. It instantly lights up their face. It’s equal to being called beautiful

[WhiteBoyChill]

My heart literally melts when I hear those words spoken

[Yzrch]

I say that to my cat every day but I'll use it on guys more often.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Yzrch guys like compliments too. Lol

[MrOracle]

Most guys (i. e., guys who aren't ultra-hot) have never* been told they look good or are handsome or whatever, even when they're well-dressed and groomed. I would say that virtually all of them would welcome anything positive about their appearance - and they all know they aren't ultra-hot, so don't exaggerate, at least to that extent. * Such compliments from your mom or your spinster aunt don't count.

But what most men want even more than compliments are RESPECT and APPRECIATION. Most men expect to have to EARN this, but very often even when they DO earn it, they don't get it. Whether it's providing, protecting, leading, or sacrificing, most guys know they're expected to do these things in a relationship, and they don't expect respect and appreciation if they aren't doing those things, but Feminism has trained women to withhold respect and appreciation of men even when the men are killing themselves to go above and beyond, and that's wrong and pretty evil in my opinion.

Women used to understand the "you get more flies with honey than with vinegar" approach (i. e., positive feedback is FAR more likely to motivate a man than will negative feedback), but again, Feminism has purposely taught women to always have a negative attitude towards men (and to view him as an oppressor), so it's not surprising why so many relationships have problems.

Women want to be LOVED. Men want to be RESPECTED. Even classic wedding vows reflect this: men vow to love their wives, women vow to respect their husbands.

[LegLover1965]

The love and respect part comes directly from the Bible, Ephesians 5:32. You are spot on with your comments.

[ObscuredBeyond]

"Thanks to you, [insert X issue here] makes a lot more sense now. That's impressive. And I've got your back on this."

Simple words, yes. But effective.

The sort of thing I wish I'd had years and years ago.

Instead, it was "not feeling it" this, "you can email me, but you can't call me" that, "you can't talk to her, just because" the next thing, "you're too much like her ex" the next thing, "you'll only make everything worse" the thing after that, "changed my mind, get lost" the thing after that, and "go get counseling" the thing after that!

Where I sought encouragement and security, I mostly found only hostility and manipulation.

I finally meet a girl who isn't that way, and she has to return to New York to look after her sick mom, leaving me with no options anymore.

[RingOfFire]

I read a lot of good responses here. I'd have to go with that I don't enjoy compliments so much about my looks as I do about my achievements. I like when someone recognizes something I worked hard to achieve and admires it... especially if it seems sincere. Compliments about my looks feel kind of embarrassing. Although I do have to say that I feel a natural inclination to pay a compliment to a woman about her looks if I find her attractive. I think that in general there is a difference in the kind of compliment men and women like in this regard.

[Leapfrog00]

A lot of girls compliment my eye color. Probably because it's blue, and girls like blue-eyed guys for some reason. My eyes change shades of blue with my moods, and some girls from my past could tell that. It used to freak me out, lol. On weeks when I go out more, I probably get compliments on my eyes 2 or 3 times. I don't think they're pretty though. They look girly. I want darker eyes, like almost black! I'll trade with someone, lol

[RavVid]

Yeah we know we can't go to far wrong if we say a woman is beautiful.

The compliments I most remember were on the surface critical of me but with an undertone of approval that X was very masculine of me.

When women I know say that I'm looking good, I know very well they are saying I am not as scruffy as I was yesterday.

[AviatorTom]

Compliments aren't needed. Just don't yell at me for little things.

[Pinay_ako]

Yikes yea

[Nik1hil]

Women need to be feel wanted, Men need to be feel needed.

Your compliments should aim to show that,

-"You need him."

- "You desire him, and are dependent on him."

- "Compliment his masculinity."- anything that he does Masculine appreciate it.

- Never reject anything he offers, even if it's useless. Accept it and then guide him sweetly to what you actually need from him!..

[Unit1]

Definitely not about things i had no control over ( height, eye color, accent). I get it, the girls May love these but if it was not like so, then i'm pretty sure it's fake shallow plastic love.

More about the things i actually did, that composed me e. g. personality, hairstyle, feeling valued.

[Billlewis]

That I'm the sweetest guy she's ever known, that I'm the most talented oral servant she's ever had, and although this isn't necessarily a compliment, I love it when she tells me that I have the smallest dick she's ever seen, as well.

[Xaxztjs]

This may sound dumb but really anything would be nice. I don't think a women has ever complimented me in my entire life. But I would say any compliments about my personality would be better than anything else. I feel this way because I truly think I'm a very good/wise person yet nobody seems to take note of it

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I seriously don't care to hear compliments from anyone including women.

Means nothing to me except only one time years ago where a woman told me my mom raised a "fine good young man"

It's the only compliment til this day that matter to me and made me feel very good she would acknowledge my mother, beside all the other compliments I have received in my life means ish to me.

[Lionman95]

Generally appreciation that you see a guy and what he´s doing. For him that´s encouraging to keep going and shows him that he´s on the right path.

[Andres77]

I’m so glad that I can always depend on you.

Or.

you make me feel so safe.

[Pinay_ako]

Yes that one too!

[Andres77]

@Pinay_ako

I walked in on a meeting, and my girlfriend at the time was the one speaking. When I walked through the door and she saw me, her eyes got bright, and her jaw dropped, and she smiled, and she forgot why she was even there.
That made me feel really good

[Pinay_ako]

That’s aww 🥰

[JSmuve]

Nothing. Compliments from women don't really mean anything. Most just say it to be nice or get something from you. If she wants to make my day, then she could do things to make my life easier or show she cares about me. Actions over words.

[Avicenna]

It's always great to be complimented on personality

[Leme2]

I dont get complimented much so I really appreciate it when I do. I like to be called handsome, intelligent, in good shape, trustworthy, beautiful, sexy, strong, kind, noble, or humble.

[KrakenAttackin]

Men so rarely get compliments that we often assume it's an attempt at manipulation.

[Pinay_ako]

I don’t compliment unless I truly mean it.

[Pinay_ako]

Grown men shouldn’t be or cannot be manipulated.

[Astarlessnightsky]

None, because i have no idea how to react, so i just akwardly look away and pretend i didn't hear it

[richardcory]

I like being thought of as "interesting"

[DarkWinterNights]

Just being smiled at works. Compliment my vehicles, ask me how my day is going, comment on the weather, etc.
