Why and How to Compliment Women

There is a common misconception held by men that I would like to clear up. It seems as if some of you believe that if you tell your girlfriend/wife once that she is beautiful or intelligent or interesting to talk to, that you never have to tell her again. Some even think that a man never has to tell his dating partner why he likes her because just the fact that he is dating her should be enough to show her how he feels.

I am a woman and I will tell you now that this is far from the truth. Not only must you tell her why you like her again and again, you need to tell her everyday. This is not about women being insecure and needing constant reassurance, it is about you showing her that you cherish her, that you notice all the good things about her and that you genuinely like her for who she is.

Imagine that you are living with a woman and decide to take out the trash for her. The first time you take out the trash your partner thanks you and is very grateful for your help. This motivates you to take out the trash next week...right? Now imagine that you take out the trash the next week and she ignores your help and does not even thank you. Imagine that you continue to take out the trash hoping that she will notice and be happy, but she never does. Will you still be motivated to take out the trash if she does not appreciate your efforts? Will you feel as good about taking out the trash if you don't get a smile and thank you? This scenario is similar to how women feel about compliments. If you compliment a woman when you meet her, but on the second and subsequent dates you do not continue to compliment her she will begin to wonder if you still think she is smart, or beautiful or whatever it may be. Similar to taking out the trash, you may begin to wonder if she still appreciates you. Women thrive when they are with a man who notices and appreciates all of their best qualities. Without compliments on a regular basis she will find herself in a slump. This is when she needs your compliments and reassurance the most.

The next time you are on a date, or meet a new woman, try one of the compliments below and watch her face light up with delight. Continue to compliment her on future dates and you will reel her in, hook, line and sinker. Just be sure to vary the compliments you use and/or how you say it.

As a final note: never assume that she knows how you feel. If you do not ever tell her that you think she is sexy she will think that you do not find her sexy. Do not be shy when telling her why you like her or she will look elsewhere for someone who will satisfy that part of her.
