What is the best thing to say when a girl disagrees with a compliment you give her?

[Eamzy]

Girls always disagree with compliments you give them and I usually just repeat the compliment. Is there anything better to say though?

[Sorrow]

When ever I used to get something similar sounding to a complement, it is always someone just taking the mick out of me... so now if anyone actually said a real complement I would just pass it of as someone being mean. Unless of course it was someone I knew and we were actually talking properly then I'd probably ignore it and just carry on or say thanks and carry on - I wouldn't like to deny it either but I would have to ignore it because I would know it wasn't true (or at least think that way) because of people so reluctant to actually say much nice things to me.

I think the best thing to do is just to repeat it, as someone else suggested. I don't think that joking is the way to go if she's really insecure. I'm guessing that you're talking about girls your own age, and they can be extremely insecure. Mind you, a lot of grown women take compliments badly.

But even if she doesn't accept it, it doesn't mean she doesn't like it! It's strange, but a lot of girls feel like it's kind of arrogant to accept a compliment.

Oh I hate it when I give someone a compliment and all they do is dismiss it because they are either being coy or don't believe it. I don't repeat it but may say something like, "You really don't take compliments well do you?" nicely (unless it's someone I know really well and know truly can't take a compliment).

well if a girl disagreas with a compliment that means that she doesn't think highly enough about her self to think that other people could see a great quality in them. so just look them in the eyes or say somthin like " no really it's true I don't lie". or say " come on how could you not be"

hope it helped

i think jus reitterate what you say. A girl is always flattered by a compliment I think, it just that some are very insecure and don't believe it because no1 ever tells them.

i would say: Look this isn't a debate you are beautiful end of, believe me

[im_erika]

girls usually do that because theyre really insecure about themselves. and just try to brush off that compliment and take it as a lie.

if I were a guy.. I would say the compliment (ie: you have pretty eyes) and if she says no.. I would jokingly say "FINE. you don't have pretty eyes"

hehe that would make me laugh and I would say

"i prefer the FIRST statement"

hehe

Here's the thing with girls... some are extremly insecure and aren't really used to compliments and when we do get them we really don't believe it 'your beautiful' 'no I'm not' then say something like 'i wouldn't be telling you if I didn't believe it' in a funny way

[Sorrow]

Problem with that though is when people have 'complemented' me in the past it always just turns out that they are making fun of me... :/

[poofs517]

Im sorry to hear that, its awful and cruel for anyone to do that! just don't say anything, look at them cray and make them look like a fool

If a woman should refuse your compliment, this is a good indication you've cast your pearls before swine, and appropriate remedial measures are thus called for. For instance, if you should compliment a woman's by saying, "I love your smile, you have the most beautiful teeth", and she responds, "Well thank you, but I'm actually very self-conscious of their imperfections", you might, in a very menacing, cold tone, say, "Yes, now that you mention it, they do look a bit like tiny, yellow Chiclets. Maybe if you'd brush them you'd feel differently". This will surely encourage you to continue offering compliments, knowing that doing so might offer the promise of some priceless entertainment. It's really a win/win situation. All the best.

You can even do this if she does simply say "thank you." Laugh nastily and say, "You didn't think I was serious, did you?"

[palek]

Very true, and though I wouldn't actually treat anyone this badly, it's kind of fun to imagine, just for a chuckle. ; - )

[Eamzy]

I barely understood this... Too many long words.

[palek]

Sorry. Thanks for the feedback.

just look her in the eyes and say, "No, seriously...I mean it" and then go about your day...

[obligations]

Like if let's say you said she was pretty and she's like "No I'm not."

Say this: "You may not think so but I think you are."

And leave it at that.

[poofs517]

I think that'd be the best way

[obligations]

That's all he can do essentially

[beachbum]

just say, no it's true

[Cuttiepie12]

they just don't know what to say because there flattered just like I was to day I didn't know what to say so I said thank you he said I had it going on for those who don't know what it means it means I'm cute I think ? :)

[Eamzy]

I find usually girls don't just say thank you....

[chocolate-lover]

But we do sometimes :P
