And men - how do they react to compliments? Do they need praise and attention? Of course!
With the right compliments, said at the right moment, you can not only win any man, but also get everything you want from him. In addition, a man who hears kind words from his beloved is usually more confident and active, which affects his career success.
Let's see how to say compliments to a man, because they need him so much.
Looking for a reason
The most important thing in this delicate matter is not to be mistaken with what you are going to praise. The reason for the compliment must be really weighty, otherwise your flattery may seem like a man to fake or be perceived as an attempt to ask for something in return or to appease before reporting unpleasant news. Men - people are suspicious, often looking for a trick from scratch, so do not give them food for excitement.
Men do not like empty praise, but they will be pleased to hear kind words if they honestly deserve it.
Good reasons to compliment men:
- For any skills:
- How great and fast you can dig potatoes!
- How easily you coped with the leaked tap!
- You drive the car skillfully.
- For the positive qualities shown in various situations:
- You are so strong and caring! (when he brought you through a puddle or helped carry a heavy bag)
- How did you stand up for that woman in the queue! You are a real gentleman.
- For experience and knowledge:
- I trust your experience in this matter ...
- I think I need your advice.
Remember: it is not necessary to give a compliment to a man on trivial reasons: so he can completely relax!
Choose the right words
One reason for a successful compliment is not enough: you need to find the right words for it. Many men do not like "calf tenderness" and "lisping", so you should not pour diminutive words at every opportunity. Believe me, a man will appreciate a few simple and understandable words more.
Good adjectives to compliment:
purposeful, courageous, resolute, successful, active, principled, talented, kind, sympathetic, attentive, polite, versatile, strong, affectionate, gentle.
Object for praise
Compliment - a thing quite intimate, if it comes to business relationships and career success or study. Therefore, it is important to understand that for different situations and different people it is necessary to choose completely different words.
Compliments to a beloved man can be done quite often, while not thinking too much about what words to use: he will be very pleased to hear good words from you. And what about other men in your environment? Should they even say compliments? Yes, but with care to be understood correctly.
If you want to please a relative, then try to praise him for the positive human qualities: kindness, attention to elders, responsibility, and the like. It is hardly appropriate to admire the size of your uncle's muscles in the presence of your aunt.
If we are talking about a colleague at work or school, then it is worth noting his achievements in this field: an active position on any issue, accuracy, diligence, perseverance. Not all organizations have to say compliments about the appearance, so you need to be guided by the rules of subordination, adopted in a single company.
Indirect compliments
Many men feel shy and blush when they are given compliments directly. If you do not want to embarrass your chosen one, try to praise him differently:
- Write him small pleasant little notes and leave in a prominent place or put in your pocket: the element of the game will be pleasant to any man!
- Tell about his positive qualities and actions in the company of friends: they will surely pass on your words to him, and it will be very flattering for him to hear this.
- If a man did something useful around the house or succeeded in some business, arrange a surprise for him. You can cook his favorite dish or make him a massage. Such gestures very much appreciated by men, they motivate them to further positive actions.
Whatever your goal, a little self-serving or going from the heart, it is very necessary to compliment your chosen one: pleasant words are another expression of your love, besides touches and deeds.
Do not be afraid to express your admiration for his strength, wisdom, success, and soon you will notice that the man will become more affectionate and attentive to you. What goes around comes around.
