It is generally accepted that men do not particularly need compliments, but women simply cannot live without them.
But there are women who react to such remarks with suspicion, distrust, and cannot even accept pleasant words addressed to them.
This question was pondered by employees of Bar-Ilan University in Israel.
What is the reason?
According to researchers, men receive compliments for their skills, experience, and abilities.
Women are praised mainly for their external features. But because women are forced to work on themselves, watch their figure and even compare themselves with others, their thinking slows down.
In a study of students, it was found that people who heard compliments about their appearance performed worse in mathematics.
Scientists also came to the conclusion that such comments about women’s appearance exhaust women.
Research conducted among Italian students has shown that inappropriate compliments provoke anxiety and depression in women.
Conclusion
In most cases, society sees a woman as modest and attractive, and compliments create some tension, since words about appearance are often associated with sexual relations.
Even if the compliments are harmless, women are still judged primarily by their appearance, scientists believe.
