Top 5 Ways to Compliment a Woman

The art of flattery has taken a major evolutionary turn over the last few years and Men have bore the brunt of the pain when it comes to falling short of the glory that is complimenting a woman. Whether you're out on a first date, meeting a girl for a drink or simply trying to get a number, you must be careful about your tactics when letting a woman know you're attracted to her.



Comments such as, "You look very nice tonight," "You're beautiful," "You have gorgeous eyes," etc. etc. etc. don't really take the cake anymore. Woman want you to be direct, sincere and more importantly specific when throwing a compliment their way. So listen close, I'm going to shed some light on the subject so that perhaps one day, we men can actually be ahead of the game.


1). Be Specific


Telling a woman that she is beautiful is nice but doesn't take much thought. Most women have heard this old line more times than they can count on both hands. If you want her to remember you, pick something specific to compliment her on, preferably something most people wouldn't notice. For example, point out that the muscles in her calves are very defined and strong. Express your admiration for a woman who works out like she does.

2). Don't Forget Her Mind

Guys tend to hone in on all of the physical traits of a woman when they are looking for something to compliment. Instead, listen to what she is telling you. If she goes on for fifteen minutes over dinner about the last six books she's read this month, tell her how impressed you are with her dedication to reading. Praise her for learning about so many different topics in such a short period of time.

3). Notice What Others Don't

Women take great care in thinking about what they are going to wear and how they will accessorize their outfit. Be attentive to the choices that she has made. Tell her how dainty her feet look in the "strappy" heels she's wearing. Compliment the fashionable necklace she's chosen to accentuate her neckline. She will be impressed that you have taken notice of the little things that most men overlook.

4). Be Sincere

You may be a multimillionaire, but do not make the whole compliment sound like 'I, Me and Myself'. You are talking about her, so speak about her. Do not go overboard with your compliment by comparing her to Marylin Monroe when she is aware she is a plain Jane. However, if you have met a girl who looks like the goddess of beauty, make sure you compliment her generously.

5). Timing is EVERYTHING

Being a little self-conscious is built in to the make-up of most women. Trying to keep up with society's views on beauty and competing with other women keeps her on edge. Pay attention to when she looks like she's having an insecure moment (like when a skinnier woman walks by wearing something revealing), and deliver a perfectly timed compliment right when it's needed.
