02.02.2025 01:20

Some people think that men are indifferent to compliments.

But sometimes one well-spoken word can turn an ordinary day into the best moment of their lives.

Men are not made of iron. Despite their external confidence, in their souls they also need support and approval.

When a person hears pleasant words, it increases his self-esteem and motivation. And for men who are used to keeping everything inside, this is especially important.

Which words work best?

Praise his actions: "You did such a great job!" or "No one could have done it better than you." A man feels like a hero when his efforts are noticed.

Compliment your appearance: Many people think that this is a female privilege, but men also love compliments about their appearance: “that suit suits you very well” or “you have an incredible smile.”

Support his ambitions: “You always find a way to achieve your goals!” Such words strengthen self-confidence and inspire new achievements.

What to avoid

There are phrases that may sound ambiguous or even offensive.

For example: "You look good for your age" or "Well, you did well, at least you did something." Such words are more likely to cause irritation than joy.

How to give compliments correctly

  • Choose the right moment. Giving compliments on the run is a bad idea. It is better to say them in a calm environment.
  • Look into the eyes. Sincerity is always felt, and eye contact is very important here.
  • Don't overdo it. Excessive flattery creates mistrust.

Some phrases work almost always:

  • "I always feel safe with you."
  • "You are the most reliable person I know." "Your sense of humor is just fire!"


Men sense falsehood. Even if a compliment is perfectly chosen, but sounds insincere, it loses its power. Words must come from the heart.

These are the compliments that can work wonders. The main thing is to say them sincerely and with warmth.
