Men often shower girls with compliments. But they mostly concern appearance - wonderful eyes, divine figure, alluring curves.
Undoubtedly, the fair sex is happy to hear praise, especially if it is presented correctly and does not contain passive aggression and hidden ridicule.
However, recently women prefer compliments not only to the face or body. Any lady loves her job, devotes time to children and family, pumps herself up in hobbies, and therefore wants to hear pleasant words about her intelligence, character traits and professional successes.
So it is worth taking into account at least 12 phrases that will lift the mood of your loved one, advises Pavel Rakov - psychologist, coach, creator of the cult training "In fact, I am smart, but I live like a fool."
1. "No, you're not fat!"
These words are best used in relationships that have been tested for years or months. Because it is unknown how a girl will react to such a compliment at the honeymoon stage. But when the romance develops into something serious, the partner will be glad to hear that she has not lost her attractiveness in the eyes of a man.
Don't think that she is unaware of her weight problems. Every lady knows about her little shortcomings. But this phrase just emphasizes that her husband or boyfriend accepts her as she is.
2. "You are beautiful even without makeup"
Another balm for the soul of every lady. In fact, many women do not really like to put on makeup, they are simply afraid of looking ugly, especially in the eyes of their friends. But such a compliment increases their self-confidence and encourages them to take care of their facial skin, maintaining its tone and health.
By the way, such a phrase from a man's mouth also indicates that he is quite observant of his beloved. After all, not every gentleman can distinguish natural makeup from its complete absence.
3. "I can tell you everything"
It seems that this is not a compliment at all, but this phrase is a veiled trust. A man can always tell about his feelings without fear that his companion will start to ridicule his desires or childhood memories.
These words also emphasize the woman's wonderful ability to listen. This is a real gift that not every person has. We often like to talk about ourselves and our successes, but we forget that the other person also needs to speak out.
4. "You are a great girl!"
Of course, girls want to be appreciated for their personal achievements and victories. And it doesn't matter in what field! It could be an equestrian competition, completing a complex puzzle with a thousand pieces, a pie made according to a new recipe, or a bonus from the boss for successfully completing a project.
Even the situation when she managed to hit a strike in bowling or fix the faucet in the kitchen on her own. The main thing is that you do not ignore an event that is important for a representative of the fair sex.
5. "I believe in you"
Faith in your partner, in his future success keeps you afloat, gives you the strength to move forward towards your goal. But it also means that you value his qualities, knowledge and skills that help you achieve success.
Just four simple words, but believe me, they charge you for success. Especially if you repeat them regularly and add warm hugs to them.
6. “To your success!”
It sounds like a toast, but in fact it is not a bad compliment. And it shows that the partner appreciates his girlfriend's achievements. And it does not diminish her merits in the professional sphere. After all, very often the representatives of the stronger sex do not pay attention to the results of women's work, believing that work is not the most important calling for a partner.
By the way, it would be nice if you actually opened a bottle of sparkling wine in honor of your beloved’s victory, and not just verbally congratulated her on her ascent up the career ladder.
7. "This is divinely delicious!"
These words lift your spirits and show that you care about what a woman does for you. Very often, cooking falls on the shoulders of the fair sex. But, as a rule, men do not always notice what girls do in everyday life. And in vain!
Firstly, it elevates her to the top as an excellent hostess. And secondly, you finally notice your beloved's efforts and appreciate them. True, there is a nuance. It is unlikely that the lady will appreciate your compliment on a not very successful dish. A home cook clearly understands where he made a mistake, so flattery in this case will turn into a failure.
8. "Meeting you made me happy"
Words about the importance of a woman in your life will melt even the coldest heart. It is important for a girl to feel not only loved, but also to influence her surroundings in a certain way. Of course, in a positive way.
And the fact that it was she who became the main joy of her lover makes her unique. However, there are pitfalls here too. As with the previous compliment, this phrase should come from the heart. Insincerity of the fair sex is quickly detected.
9. "You are my inspiration!"
To be a muse for the one and only, to inspire him to feats and motivate him to achieve his goals? A thousand times "yes"! Any girl will proudly accept such words from her partner.
The main thing is that he actually performs those same feats and realizes his goals. Otherwise, the phrase will diverge from reality and become empty chatter of an unreliable gentleman. After all, men are still judged more by their actions.
10. "You are an incredibly smart girl."
Of course, girls in the modern world love to hear compliments about their intelligence, erudition and pumped-up intellect. The main thing is not to compare the lady with someone else, adding after this phrase: "At least smarter than those I have met."
Otherwise, anyone will understand that you treat women as second-class citizens. "You are an incredibly smart girl" - period, if you can't come up with something of your own.
11. "The best mom in the world!"
This phrase signals that a woman is on the right path in the process of raising children. And it is quite complicated, labor-intensive and surrounded by doubts. Yes, yes, every mother constantly doubts whether she did everything right. Did she answer the child correctly? Did she pay due attention or was it again just five minutes too short? Are the right values instilled or is it time to change something?
A man who values his wife not only for love and passion, raises her confidence level to an unattainable height. And he also instills this idea in his children, especially if he repeats the praise out loud and in their presence. But it would be good if he himself applied his efforts to the upbringing of the younger generation.
12. "I envy your sense of humor"
It's great when a couple has the same sense of humor. It means that two people have a chance to build a future together. But it's not so good if a man doesn't notice this quality.
So appreciate your beloved's sense of humor and remind her of it more often. In this case, you can envy her if she spoils you with jokes and funny stories more often. With them comes that all-important trust.
