There are several phrases that a man says only when he really likes a woman:

Women have a whole arsenal of phrases that we say when we don't like a man. We use body language, eye rolling, to show an unwanted man that he is not welcome.

But what about men? They have a reputation as the less talkative sex, although in fact they tell us quite a lot, we’re just not always ready to hear what we really don’t want to hear.

But there are a few phrases that a man says only when he really likes a woman:

1. “That reminded me of you.”

He may not always say what he thinks about you in order to hide his feelings and not be straightforward. But he will talk about things that remind him of you because he really wants you to know about it.

2. “I can help you with that.”

Men like to feel needed. He wants to be useful to you. And if he offers help, it means he cares about you. Men are ready to do something for those they care about, for whom they have their own special plans.

3. “You look great.”

If a man tells you this, stop wondering what he means. He really thinks you look great and he wants you to know it.

4. “I was talking to my mother...”

If he mentions his mom and tells you what she told you, he's either your best friend or he likes you. Men rarely share what is happening in their family, especially with their mother. Therefore, if he tells you about this, it means you have a special level of trust with him.

5. “I’m upset/I’m worried.”

6. “Where have you been? How are you?"

This seems like the easiest way to start a conversation, but does everyone start one with you? No. Only the one who is really interested in you and who wants to get to know you better and show his interest.

7. “You are so sexy.”

Well, this is an obvious compliment that is not given to every girl, but only to the one who is really attractive. He may not be serious, but he clearly doesn’t care about you.

8. “I noticed that you...”

If a man says that he noticed something in what you do, say, dress, eat, then he really pays attention to you, what kind of person you are, what interests you - and not because he wants to be your best friend...

9. “I miss you.”

Men rarely say this, and if they do, they probably mean a lot of feelings that they don’t know how to express correctly.

10. “I’ll be there.”

“If anything happens, I’m nearby”, “Do you have someone to talk to about this?”, “I’m always happy to listen”, “Let’s talk” - with all this he shows that he wants to be a part of your life.

The editors of the site, in general, are for natural beauty and support the Dove manifesto “You are more beautiful than you think.” But what a woman thinks about her beauty is one thing, but a man’s opinion is a different story. Which women do men consider beautiful, does the presence or absence of makeup play a role in this, and what definitely spoils beauty - the site asked smart and interesting men about this.

As it turned out, most men are not at all against makeup, but only if it is not noticeable, and the difference between “before” and “after” is not shocking. Predictably, no one likes fake lips and breasts. And beauty is spoiled by bad taste, bad character and groundless ambitions. However, read for yourself!

Gleb Vyshlinsky, Deputy Director of Gfk Ukraine

For me, beauty is wisdom and kindness. A woman with an evil face is repulsive, and one who does not have wisdom does not have depth, without which true beauty is impossible.

Bitchiness spoils beauty. Even a classic and well-groomed, but angry face is unattractive. Yes, at first glance, such a woman may seem well-groomed and beautiful, but soon this perception dissipates.
It seems to me that makeup is a matter of a woman’s personal choice, the image she wants to create. Its absence or presence does not interfere with beauty. However, makeup often makes a woman’s image overly strict and pretentious, hiding her true image.

Sergey Kane, music journalist, editor-in-chief of the new online magazine comma.com.ua, which will launch in March.

Pictures are perfect, not people. If we talk about pictures, sometimes I can freeze at the spread of a glossy magazine if, for example, Blake Lively is there. Or Olga Freimut, what?
A lot of female beauty and attractiveness is in the hair. It happens that your hair will fall so much that you are already amazed on the spot. And by the way a girl presents herself, you can understand how in harmony she is with herself. It is important. Untidyness and lack of restraint are, first of all, disrespect for oneself.
If we talk about real beauty, which is not limited to appearance, and its distinctive features - I fall in love with talent, intelligence, inner light. We’ll do without names, but there are girls like that in my circle.
It’s uncomfortable to talk a lot about what you just want to silently, with bated breath, be inspired by. Beauty is the soul, you know?

Beauty is spoiled by stupidity, laziness, overt sexuality, and cruelty. Girls want to be loved and respected, but sometimes they behave in ways that cause the opposite feelings in guys.
Sometimes there is no picture more inspiring and beautiful than a girl who has just woken up. Because of this opinion, some people consider me a pervert.
True beauty is natural. When a girl is nature itself. But depending on your mood, this natural beauty can be exquisitely emphasized or shaded. So if some guy says “why do you need makeup at all” - kick this hypocrite out. :)

Yaroslav Lodygin, presenter, radio “Aristocrats”

The ideal of a beautiful woman is like Japanese architecture with its “imperfect ideal.” Everything should be fine, but something must be wrong. First of all, I look at the proportions, and then I enter into conversation. And if he is boring, and I myself groan and don’t know how to continue, then the women are ugly. But this rarely happens.
A woman’s beauty is not spoiled by a bad character and capriciousness. She is spoiled by a suspicious mother, an unexpected smell and empty space in her head.
The main thing is that a beautiful woman with makeup in the evening does not differ much from a beautiful woman in the morning, but without makeup. Let it be the same woman, I beg you.

Denis Dovgopoly, managing partner of BVU Group

A beautiful woman is not only about her appearance (which is important), but also about charisma, manners and even posture; people should look at her. Personally, I like tall and slender women (I’m not original here).
When asked about ruined beauty, I like to answer with an anecdote: “She opened her mouth and ruined her pretty face and excellent figure.” Many people are spoiled by the clothes they wear and the cosmetics they use. We often put on tons of makeup. In the area of ​​clothing, they either wear something unclear or don’t even know how to wear good clothes (not everyone has the talent to wear short skirts or a deep neckline, even with good appearance).
Soft makeup, in my opinion, is appropriate only within the limits of “if makeup is noticeable, then it is not appropriate.”

A woman’s beauty is not spoiled by a bad character and capriciousness. She is spoiled by a suspicious mother, an unexpected smell and empty space in her head.

Alexey Kavitsky, co-owner of helen-marlen.com, Baby Marlen

My personal most beautiful women are Oksana Kavitskaya, Audrey Hepburn, Kristina Kavitskaya, Marian Cotillard.

The main thing in a woman is her eyes! Grace of movements, and, of course, beauty of speech.
I think that any beauty can be ruined by stupidity, vulgar makeup, and, of course, tasteless manner of dressing.

Any honest girl will say that “without makeup at all” is hard. There is a time, a place for everything, and an unconditionally chosen appearance for today.

Vadim Medvedev, buyer, senior consultant at Luxury Retail Professionals

We either create an ideal for ourselves from what was, or we are in an eternal search, now approaching (when we felt good), now moving away from it (well, we didn’t agree on the characters, and she was far from ideal). There is a woman who is next to me - my wife, she is my everything, harmoniously complements my modest person, making me a man. There is my mother... this is just a separate topic, there is, or rather there was my grandmother, who gave me my upbringing...
There are attractive, spectacular women, their mere appearance causes a slight shock in all the men present, there is something inexplicable in this that is impossible to describe, not to mention clearly define the criteria...
Women's beauty can be spoiled by two things: the woman herself, with her desire to be someone she is not (for example, the mistress of the sea) and men, who are tasteless and tyrannical.

Yuri Gladky, head of the RA “GRAPE Ukraine”

For me, the beauty of a woman is such chemistry. Just as the formula, combination of elements, and cooking process give a different effect, so a woman’s appearance, her style, and aroma convey a clear visual signal of beauty to a man. The only thing is that I am firmly convinced that in order for this signal to be strong, one must practice beauty. As well as chemistry.

I am against artificial manipulation of a normal healthy body. I’ve never understood the desire to create a stuffed animal out of yourself by pumping silicone into your lips, for example. I don’t know what should be going through the head of a woman who thinks this is beautiful.
Makeup is like clothes. You can be left without it, but this is not always appropriate.

Vlad Nedogibchenko, website editor

You don't have to be a smart man to define female beauty by the old banal construct: perfect proportion + some zest, something distinctive. But it works. All the “greats” - from Audrey Hepburn to Angelina Jolie - have a structure.

What spoils a woman’s beauty most of all is the desire to conceal one’s femininity in some way. The principled, unreasonable refusal of makeup is from the same opera. Although this is an understandable extreme of feminism’s struggle against beauty templates.

Alexander Getman, head of TopStylist, TopBeauty

For more than six years now, my legal wife has been the ideal of a beautiful woman. I say this because appreciating beauty seems to me a very personal experience. It seems wrong to highlight standard features in beauty. Beauty is beautiful because it is unpredictable. It can be either facial features and an athletic figure, or a sparkle in the eyes and a great sense of humor - you never know where and when it will overtake you, the main thing is to keep your eyes open.

No, no, dear girl, I don’t want to say that without makeup you look like a gray mouse. It may well be that you naturally have expressive eyes, stunningly beautiful eyebrows, sensual lips, and a graceful nose. But, you must admit that skillful makeup will only highlight your charms. Why does the beloved young man say: “You are beautiful without makeup! There is absolutely no need for you to wear makeup” or “Stop wearing makeup! And so beautiful. We are late!"?

If a guy says: “Stop putting on makeup! We are late!" - Tired of waiting

If we are not talking about being late for a plane, train or significant event, it is likely that your boyfriend is extremely impatient or... although, if he waits longer than 15 minutes for you to put on your makeup, the problem is most likely your lack of punctuality. Try to put on some makeup before meeting him. After all, wouldn’t it give you pleasure to wait more than 15 minutes until he gets ready to go for a walk with you?

If your boyfriend says: “Natural beauty is closer to me. Girls with bright makeup look like dolls" - He is a romantic

This is a good reason to experiment with makeup a la naturel: pastel shades, delicate and romantic images. And romantic evenings in his company are guaranteed to you.

If a guy says: “You are beautiful without makeup! There is absolutely no need for you to wear makeup” or “Stop wearing makeup! And so beautiful!” - Jealous

It may well be that your boyfriend has low self-esteem and is simply jealous of you. Often, such objections to makeup can be combined with reproaches that you pay more attention to someone else, making eyes at someone else, or veiled jealousy, sliding in phrases like “Why are you wearing makeup? You are very beautiful without makeup!”

Of course, a self-sufficient guy will not be jealous and object to my makeup, even if it is somewhat provocative, do you think? - No! Psychologists have long noticed that while a man is in love, even if he was previously very confident in himself, he is jealous of his beloved. Another thing is that he may not say a word about it and hold back his comments about your makeup. Here, the development of the situation largely depends on the upbringing and self-control of your boyfriend.

If a guy endlessly reproaches you for “wearing a lot of makeup, dressing provocatively, being too sociable and friendly with others,” you can….

Turn around and go to the next young man- this is the easiest way.

Follow the lead of a jealous person: turn into a blue stocking, completely forget about tight dresses and makeup- means over time to become less interesting not only to all other guys, but also to your loved one. Do you need it?

Is it possible to at least try to instill confidence in him. To all his objections to makeup, a beautiful dress, high heels, look into his eyes with tenderness and say: “You are so courageous. Next to you, I always want to look even more feminine and beautiful,” at every opportunity, praise him for actions that you like, and, of course, not give him the slightest reason for jealousy.

The paradox is that as soon as he stops being jealous of you, feelings will begin to cool down. Therefore, don't talk! but let him understand that many guys are interested in you, but for you only he exists.

Do men tell a woman that she is beautiful because she is really beautiful, or because they like her?

Let me explain, if a woman is wonderful, charming, smart, but has average external characteristics, do men still use the term “beautiful”? Or does “beautiful” apply exclusively to appearance?

It’s worth envying the men’s coherence in the use of terms:]

So I say, no matter where you look, there are only beauties around :)

>if the woman is wonderful, charming, smart

then men say “I like her” or “she’s good.”

I almost got the point :)

I don’t consider myself a beauty at all =)

but I hear this from guys periodically. and, you know, I believe =)

It also depends on the mentality. A Caucasian, for example, will address any girl as “Beauty,” even if she is as terrible as a nuclear war.

Probably the most honest =)

This is a bestial waste, not an honest one. Sexuality excites, not beauty.

Normal interpretation, masculine :) But, I repeat, honest :)

Men who want every more or less pretty person are crazy. Not everyone is like that, so we don’t need to lump them all together. Beautiful/ugly and want/don’t want are two different things.

And I just always thought that for men, beautiful/ugly = want/don’t want. Or would like to/would not like to :)

Rather = would like/would not like.)))

Well what can I say. you thought wrong. Well, this happens, of course, often, but in general these are different things.

Why bestial? Beautiful is sexually attractive, you can procreate with her. A completely normal explanation and, most likely, the only correct one.

Beautiful is beautiful, and sexually attractive is sexy. Just don’t talk about procreation here; after all, people are different from animals. 🙂

Fine. Define a “beautiful” woman.))

Who's talking about clear definitions?

How can you say without definition that the examples you gave are different things?

Isn't this intuitive? It is not necessary to define beauty and ugliness in order to understand that these are different things.

It is not clear how beauty/ugliness differs from sexual attractiveness/unattractiveness.

Damn, well, beauty is an aesthetic perception, it just pleases the eye. Sexual attractiveness is something completely different. Is it really not clear?

Unclear. You're coming from the wrong direction.

Over the past millennia, man-men have already learned to restrain themselves and not rush at any moving female. It is solely for these reasons that you now share the beauty/desire for procreation. But I don’t seem to encourage you to rush at everyone. The author of the post has already answered you above: beautiful = this is the one with whom I would like. And ugly is someone I wouldn’t want to be with.

You, too, I hope, are not going to have children with freaks? And why? Is it because your aesthetic sense suffers or because the children might turn out bad?

Where did you get the idea that he used to attack everyone, this man?

Well, let’s look at this example: I’m 20 years old, there is, for example, some aunt about 45 years old, whom I consider beautiful in principle, well, that is. She has the traits that I like in women. But this does not mean that I will want to have sex with her, for obvious reasons. Again, I think my mother is beautiful, but I don’t want to have sex with her.

You've mixed things up a little - just because you don't want a 45-year-old woman doesn't mean she's not sexy.

I mean the subjective perception of each individual person. In this case, my perception: there is beauty, there is no sexuality.

It turns out that beautiful women are not sexy?!

Why? No one is saying that it’s either one or the other; these two things are completely compatible.

But is this possible?

What is a beautiful woman and not sexy?!

it means the man wants her +1.

There are no ugly women. Regardless of the amount of vodka. Or even from its absence.

Oh, how lucky you are in life!

I admit, I was less fortunate :)

It seems so to you

Beautiful is applied to appearance, but everyone has different tastes, which is why different women are considered beautiful, although there are very, very many who are considered beautiful by the majority, and there are also many who are ugly by general assessment.

Okay, I'll try to rephrase =)

Women are different, some will think so, others won’t. In principle, the situation when a beautiful woman does not like herself is not so rare.

So your question is, should she think she has bad taste? 🙂

If a woman is told that she is beautiful, she may believe that others like her. And behave accordingly. Even if you don’t like yourself :)

If you like her appearance, she’s a pretty girl. If you really like the appearance and at the same time a cool girl, she’s beautiful.

It's not often that a woman is simply told that she is beautiful. if they say it, it means they need something from her. and what exactly depends on the situation.

that is, when someone just passing by (and a man walking off into the distance, simply looking at me honestly) says this to me, should I assume that he wants something from me?

This just happens to me.

not necessary. for example, I often say that a girl is beautiful, but this does not mean that I will now attack her and drag her into bed or even approach her. beauty can still be admired, for example, like a painting at an exhibition. this doesn’t mean that I’m going to take all the paintings for myself?

Let me make it as clear as possible)))

If we are talking about a random woman, then “beautiful” is either the first compliment that comes along, or the observation that one can get carried away by her appearance, in addition to other advantages.

If we are talking about a loved one, then everything is simpler)))

The beloved is not compared to anyone. Therefore, “beautiful” means enjoying her appearance.

I heard opposite opinions about myself (from men). I don't consider myself beautiful. My boyfriend constantly says that I am very beautiful, probably because he loves me.

How to respond to men's compliments

How to behave if a luxurious man says that you look wonderful? What does this polished gentleman want from you? How do men manipulate us, fragile and gentle creatures, with the help of beautiful words? Today we’ll talk about the devastating and magical power of music for our ears. We are, of course, talking about compliments.

The fact that in this world people push each other around is not news for a long time. If you think that everything happens differently to you, then you are mistaken. Just look at the baby who is begging his parents for another kinder surprise. Or remember how, by hook or by crook, your parents lured you to the dacha to plant potatoes. And everything will fall into place. We live in a world of insidious manipulators.

With compliments the situation is somewhat more subtle. First, let's figure out what a compliment is. In essence, it represents an embellished reality. For example, if a man tells a woman that she looks amazing, then this is 70-80 percent true. That is, she really looks great, but still not as good as she was told.

Attention! If someone gave you a compliment, after which you suspected something was wrong, for example, a trick or manipulation, just smile and say in response: “Thank you.”

How to respond to compliments on style and clothing

If everyone at the party liked your blouse, no need to say that your older sister, who bought it back in 1990, gave it to you. Can't keep silent and smile? Reply: “Thank you, vintage will never go out of style.” And no one needs to know that you bought jeans on sale or in a stock store. If you asked “Is the dress new?” Feel free to say what's new. Almost. If you are caught in a blatant lie, say that you were flirting. You are a girl, they won't judge you.

If you accidentally did a triple somersault at a gala reception and were praised, no need to say that anyone can do it. Or if the salad was a success, you don’t need to tell your guests the recipe. No one can do this, and this feint was not easy for you. This is hard labor that should neither be minimized nor exaggerated. It is unlikely that anyone will want to repeat your feat, but in the eyes of others you will become somewhat lower and insignificant. And if you tell me the recipe, the mystery will disappear altogether.

There is no need to distract attention from yourself with a return compliment. If you receive applause, it means you deserve it without a doubt. When there is time, reason and desire, you will give a compliment. But not in response to someone else's. Politeness responses are usually somewhat insincere. There is little truth in them, but there is a lot of desire to get rid of them. After such words, you don’t want to say nice things to the person.

If earlier we talked about how to respond to compliments from anyone, now, I think, we should focus more specifically on how to respond to compliments from men. After all, representatives of the fair half of humanity are more often embarrassed by male compliments.

So, a luxurious man says good things to you. You feel embarrassed, blush, and your voice trembles slightly. And this is normal, because you like the man. In this case, there is no need to lie, dodge or reinvent the wheel. Be sincere. Thank everyone and say something like: “You confused me a little.”

When a close man who admires your magnificent appearance pleases you with a compliment, you can, as usual, say “Thank you” and continue: “I’m trying for you!” or “I'm glad you liked it!”

In general, build up your self-esteem. A person with high self-esteem already knows that he is smart, handsome and smart. Confident ladies do not faint or blush when they hear a compliment. Why be embarrassed if you are told obvious facts, even if they are so pleasant? In addition, a high-quality compliment, as a rule, in itself raises self-esteem and mood, and even lights a fire in the eyes. Conversely, confident girls know how to compliment others and get pleasure from it.

Therefore, the most important thing that I have been leading you to throughout this article is to be confident in yourself. Know that you are amazing. Work on yourself, read good books, communicate with interesting people, so that when you hear the next “You look great today,” you don’t say: “What, yesterday I looked worse?” It should sound from your lips: “Thank you, I am very pleased.”

Men are firmly convinced that women love with their ears. Sparing no expense with beautiful phrases and colorful epithets, they shower the girls with generous compliments.

Beautiful ladies do not always know how to behave correctly in such situations. Even women with impeccable appearance, whose compliments can hardly be called insincere, do not know how to react to compliments from men.

What kind of compliments are there?

The goal of all compliments is the same - to please the interlocutor and win him over. Only in some cases does a man do this unselfishly, while in others he pursues some of his own personal goals. Sometimes it’s just a desire to win over the lady you like, and sometimes the task is to win over the boss, doctor, bank employee, salesperson or other woman from whom you need to receive a one-time service.

Girls are not always able to distinguish a sincere compliment from well-veiled flattery. Some men, including gigolos, have a special gift and women naively take everything they say at face value. Other guys, on the contrary, cannot speak beautifully and compliments from their lips look crumpled, unnatural and insincere.

The task of every woman is to learn to respond friendly to sincerity, support a shy man and respond to flattery with dignity. Any praise cannot cause harm, spoil the mood or cause conflict.

When you hear a compliment addressed to you, you should never object. A girl’s attempt to belittle her dignity confuses men. They have to repeat their admiration again and convince the interlocutor of what was said. As a result, an innocent compliment turns into an argument in which the man has to leave the last word to the woman. What else can a guy say if he tells a girl that she has a beautiful hairstyle, and the girl starts to object that today she didn’t have time to style her hair and it sticks out in all directions?

Another common mistake among insecure women is making excuses. Having heard pleasant words from the lips of their interlocutor, some ladies begin to make excuses. As a result, men are overcome by doubts about what has been said and a desire to change the subject as quickly as possible. How should a guy behave who admired a beautiful raincoat, and in response heard that the raincoat was bought 5 years ago and is worn today only for the reason that all other things have become small.

Indifference to a compliment and men don’t like the lack of any reaction either. The man put a piece of his soul into the phrase, plucked up courage and delivered a eulogy, and received only empty silence in response. Will the young man have the desire to shower the silent person with compliments next time?

Responding to compliments naturally and beautifully is an art. To master it, you will have to increase your own self-esteem and stop looking for insincerity in other people. Every woman has the right to a compliment and there is no need to look for tricks, irony or hidden intentions in men’s words. Any person utters words, even flattering ones, of his own free will and without coercion, therefore they must be accepted easily and without tension.

Having heard pleasant words addressed to you from a stranger, you do not need to prepare a long thank you speech. It is enough to say just one of the short phrases: “Thank you for the compliment”, “Thank you, I’m glad you like it” or simply: “Thank you”. The main thing is that at the moment of gratitude there is a friendly smile on your face, and there is no irony or mistrust in your voice.

How to respond to men's compliments?

The purpose of compliments is to please the interlocutor. If he likes it, arrange it. True, some men do this selflessly, while others pursue other, more mercantile goals. It’s one thing if a compliment is a way to win over a girl you like, but it’s quite another thing to try to win over a lady from whom you want to get something (boss, saleswoman, cashier...)

Distinguishing a sincere compliment from banal utilitarian flattery is a paramount task in order to understand exactly how to respond. Some men are masters of the “gift of compliments,” and it’s hard not to take what they say as sincerity. Others, on the contrary, cannot put together a couple of words, so their attempts to give compliments look unnatural and even insincere.

The main thing to remember is that no praise, no compliment can ruin your mood or cause a conflict.

• You can't object. Your attempt, in response to the praise of some of your virtues, to belittle these virtues confuses the man. It sounds like you don't quite trust him. And he has to repeat everything he said again, passionately convincing his interlocutor. An innocent compliment turns into an argument. For example, if a guy says that your hair is good, and you start to object that you didn’t have time to wash your hair today, it sticks out like the Straw Scarecrow... There was a compliment - the situation became uncomfortable and stupid.
• You can't make excuses. Although, in fact, there is nothing to justify. Unconfident girls, hearing something good, begin to make excuses. The result is that the man doubted whether he had said anything at all and whether it was worth talking about this topic, maybe it was “sick”? The guy admired your coat, and you: “This old thing, bought seven years ago and long ago out of fashion, I put on because I’ve gotten fat and all the other coats don’t fit, and today, as luck would have it, it’s cold.” There was a compliment - it became an unnecessary message of details that were not interesting to anyone.
• You can't remain indifferent. Lack of response is also not good. The person came up with a compliment, plucked up courage, said it, and in response - zero reaction. Another time, he may not dare to repeat this “feat.”

• You can't be dismissive. Some ladies are proud. They know their worth and maniacally suspect everyone around them of flattery. Men generally lose the desire to say nice words to girls. We ourselves make men constrained!
• You can't be overly happy. This is only a compliment, not a proposal from the heart. Too much joyful reaction looks strange. A man begins to think that a compliment obliges him to do something. If a guy on the subway said that you are beautiful, it does not mean that he will take you home and ask for your phone number. You shouldn’t see every compliment as an attempt at flirting.
• You can't respond with a compliment. Exchanging pleasantries can lead interlocutors to a dead end. In addition, the return compliment, which followed instantly, looks fake and feigned. Better save your compliment for next time.

• Having heard a compliment from a man you don’t know well, there is no need to give a speech of gratitude. It’s enough to say: “Thank you,” “I’m glad you like it,” “Thank you,” “I appreciate your compliment,” or any pleasant and short phrase, accompanied by a friendly smile.
• If the compliment comes from the mouth of a man you know well, a humorous response is allowed. For example: “For you”, “I tried for you”, “I wanted to please you”. A charming smile is a must.
• If you're shy and easily embarrassed, don't be afraid to admit it. You can say with a slight blush and trembling in your voice: “You are embarrassing me.” The smile should be languid.

Nothing complicated. With a little practice, compliments will soon stop embarrassing you and making you look preoccupied. The correct attitude towards praise not only lifts your spirits, but also gives you confidence and makes the girl especially attractive. And, when you learn to respond adequately to compliments, they will begin to be addressed to you more and more often, you will see.

Reactions to the article

However... Paradoxical as it may sound, when you hear a certain kind of praise from a man, you should not rejoice, but... run away from such a suitor!

“Even if we try to hide something, we still tell everything about ourselves,” says AiF, a famous psychologist Anetta Orlova. - By the kind of compliments a person gives you, you can learn a lot about him, his value system.

If a fan says: “How sexy you look in this dress!”, “What slender legs you have,” - we have a visual man in front of us. To maintain his interest, you must always look attractive. And if he says: “You bake amazing pies!” - for him, first of all, it is important that a woman be the keeper of the home. This is his main request. He will be more pleased with a tidy apartment and a three-course meal than with lace stockings on his beloved.

Advice for women: you need to listen carefully not only to the compliment itself, but also to what is said around it.”

So here you go real men's compliments and comments from a psychologist.

“I want you to always be so beautiful (cheerful, economical, etc.), “Your borscht is gorgeous. I want you to always cook so deliciously.”

“If a man often uses “I want, I want, I want,” we can say with 90% accuracy: he is childish and has selfish thinking. This man perceives a woman as a kind of resource, everything she owns is for him. For this person, the most important thing is his desires.”

“You are amazing to me (smart girl, honey, etc.).”

“According to the clause “with me,” one can assume: this woman means a lot to a man, he takes her seriously, as part of himself. And at the same time, if there are too many “you” like me, I’ll assume: this is a powerful person. With all the ensuing consequences.”

"You are ideal. Finally I met you in life. Now you understand why I’ve been looking for my woman for so long.”

“You shouldn’t be flattered by such a compliment! The key word here is “looking”. They also look for an apartment or a job based on the given parameters. This man has an ideal in his head, and everything that does not fit into the frame of “ideality” is superfluous, and it must be cut off. He will try to remake you in his own way. As soon as you show “less than ideal” qualities, accusations will begin, and later a new search for the ideal woman. And such a person will never be found...”

"You look perfect. I really want to shine with you! I am so pleased that everyone looks at my beautiful woman and envy me.”

“Unfortunately, this conversation is not about a woman at all! This man cares about how he looks in the eyes of others. An attractive lady nearby simply raises his status as a male. He might as well be proud of an expensive car to show off his business partners.”

“Good for you for being such a practical housewife.”
