The compliments that a man appreciates the most

Most of the time we are too reserved or too absorbed in the small and big worries of everyday life, when it comes to making our loved ones feel good. Yet compliments are such a beautiful thing that they are capable of changing someone's day. Especially when they arrive like this, for no specific reason. Therefore we should do them more often, just as we should say more frequently how much we love the person around them to make them understand everything we feel for them.

Generally, compliments make us happy and proud. The same goes for a man, even if all of this is often taken for granted. When you want to make a person feel appreciated, you have to try not to fall into banality and here are the compliments that are most pleasing to men.

Not all compliments are good for men

Of course it is important to find the right words. "You're cute" or "Men before you weren't as good as you" are phrases that not only fail to win over a guy but can annoy him. Therefore, we have thought about which are the best compliments to give to men and which ones are to be eliminated!

There is only one golden rule that applies to all compliments: they must be honest, personal and come from the heart. Any sentence said just to please the other person is quite counterproductive.

1. Spontaneous expressions of love

We usually talk too little about our feelings. Especially when the first euphoric phase of the relationship is over, we often save ourselves on compliments and expressions of love. It is so easy to make our partner happy with a few words. It doesn't always have to be the classic "I love you". men like to hear exactly what makes them so special.

In all circumstances, it is best to avoid "trivial" statements such as the classics "you're cute" or "I like you", but delve a little bit into what we like about him, praising his charm, intelligence or sensitivity. classic "you are my favorite person" or "you are everything to me" are always nice because they make him feel important.

2. Compliments on his skills and talents

A little recognition every now and then is good for all of us, especially men. In fact, no matter how confidently or even coolly they may pose towards others, a little gratification, or better yet, a token of admiration, is like a balm to their tender soul! So if you tell the person beloved, when the time comes, that you admire her for a particular skill or action, you are guaranteed to see a happy man in front of you.

Each of us has a particular talent for doing something or a certain passion that leads us to have a vast knowledge on the subject. Why not emphasize this in a natural and loose way during the conversation? There is nothing better than an unexpected compliment.

However, care must be taken: the compliment must of course be honest and must not seem benignly maternal. Nothing worse than making him feel like a kid! After all, you do not want to belittle him, but to highlight his merits and qualities as an adult man.

3. Congratulations on its appearance

Yes, even men are vain and they too are preparing to meet the woman of their heart. One can - and should do more often - praise a man if he has a beautiful outward appearance: his smile, his body, his gaze ... Let him feel that the woman by his side still thinks he's the one.

Better to avoid generic compliments on the clothes he wears, but sentences of appreciation aimed at him. Thus it is shown that the other person is attentive, looks closely and all this gives a good feeling. Men are not that different from women.

4. Appreciation of plans and goals

Each of us sets goals and when we manage to achieve them it is a source of great satisfaction. However, it is even more so when the people we care about compliment us for succeeding in our intent. In fact, showing interest in others is always important. If your he is looking to do more sports, quit smoking, or save for a new car, small, even partial, successes should also be explicitly praised. This encourages him to continue and do his best.

5. Compliments on your sexual qualities

Warning: this topic is a minefield. So before speaking, you need to think and ponder what to say calmly. The fundamental rule is never to compare the current partner with the previous ones, establishing a sort of “competition.” Furthermore, nobody wants to imagine their partner or partner in an intimate situation with other people.

Therefore, if you want to praise her sexual abilities, it is best to say what we particularly liked, what made us feel appreciated during intercourse or what triggered our libido.

6. Admit that he is right

It is not a real compliment, but we know that apologizing and acknowledging that you were wrong are actions that do not always come "spontaneous". Instead, a man appreciates when his partner is willing to admit his mistakes and show him that he is right.

7. Congratulations by message

Who said a compliment sent by text doesn't have the same effect? Receiving a phrase of appreciation perhaps during the working day and in a completely unexpected way, is always a good way to snatch a smile from those we love.

Compliments via WhatsApp or SMS are nice because they can be used in a surprising way. Just send a nice SMS to your partner in the morning wishing them a good day. As always, it is advisable to use a little inventiveness and not resort to standard phrases.

8. Appreciation at the right time

Compliments are especially good when praising someone in front of other people. Of course, the compliment shouldn't be too intimate in this case.

In any case, try to surprise him with a compliment in the more "everyday" moments you spend together. Whether you are standing in the subway, at the supermarket at the checkout or when you are renovating your apartment. It's the moment of surprise that counts!
