It is believed that compliments are needed by girls like air, while the stronger sex can do just fine without such "nonsense". After all, these are all just words, so why should real men pay attention to trifles, they are above that. In reality, this is not at all the case, and compliments are necessary for guys as well as for their girlfriends. A successful compliment, given at the right moment, brings joy to a person, increases his self-esteem and mood.
Instructions
Step 1
However, in order for compliments to be really successful, you need to be able to do them correctly. First of all, you should know that a compliment is not flattery designed to bribe a person, but a way to show attention and demonstrate your good attitude towards him. Therefore, a successful compliment should be light, natural and not deliberate.
Step 2
It is important to remember that you need to compliment a guy or a man differently than a girl. If wanting to please a woman, she is usually told about her beauty, gracefulness, sex appeal or successful dress, then in relation to a man it is better to emphasize his outstanding intellectual, physical or professional qualities. You shouldn't tell a guy, unless he is your boyfriend or husband, that he has beautiful eyes, even if it really is. It is much better to communicate how strong-willed, impressive his look is and how much it affects you.
Step 3
A successful compliment must always be true. There is no need to invent those wonderful qualities that the interlocutor obviously does not have. A slender intellectual - "nerd" in glasses is unlikely to be delighted with your insincere admiration for his muscles, even if you know for sure that he dreams of a bodybuilder figure. Rather, such a compliment will be perceived as a mockery.
Step 4
If you want to compliment a guy, but don't know him personally enough yet, mark his professional knowledge or skill. For any man, his social functions are always very important, therefore, his recognition as a successful professional, a master of his craft, will certainly be favorably received.
Step 5
When giving compliments, it is always worth considering the place, time and mood of the person to whom the compliment is addressed. Depending on these factors, the very nature of compliments and their direction may change. For example, in a difficult problem situation, an approving compliment made as if in passing will be gratefully perceived as psychological support. A subtle, playful compliment with sexual overtones at a fun party can make this holiday just unforgettable for a guy.
Step 6
As you master the tricky yet enjoyable art of compliments, feel free to experiment. Do not take as a basis hackneyed cliches, erased to holes in romance novels. Better take a closer look at your partner, find his unique personality traits and mark them in a positive way. Such a purely "personal" compliment will always be valued much higher than any lush, literary beauty.
