Compliments are not always as kind as they seem. Before you give a girl/woman a compliment, ask yourself if there’s any way it could come across as rude or stupid. If there is, throw it out, and keep thinking! The following are thoughtless compliments:
1. “You’re different than the other girls I’ve dated.”
He's a damn idiot, for comparing me to anyone in his past! |
Complimenting women by making comparisons is a huge no-no. It’s rude, because it puts the past women down, but it also makes her wonder what’s different about her, and whether it’s good or bad.
My BAD perspective: If you as a guy consider yourself an individual, you think of yourself as different to everyone else... You may like the compliment about looking or acting like any of your heroes. M.J. which ever one or great leaders like President Obama. Now picture how a woman feels to be categorize. You are telling her you've made bad choices in the past and now you are in uncharted water. Women may excuse one dumb remarks. but she will start thinking you are a fool.
2. “I love that I don’t have to try around you.”
Who is this fool, does he know who I am? |
Even though you’re trying to tell her that she’s easy to be around, she may take it as you saying that she’s not worth the effort. It’s not smart to compliment a woman by telling her you’re not willing to work hard for her.
My BAD perspective: this falls in the category of OMG. If you are not trying and you don't care to give her your BEST.... Now reverse the situation and ask would you settle for a woman who is not willing to give you her best? SMH. If it isn't good for the gander it sure isn't good enough for the swan.
3. “How are you still single?”
While most men mean it theoretically, she’s going to take it literally. This does nothing but put her on the defensive, because you’re essentially asking what the deal breaker was with every other guy.
My BAD perspective: If she's single for whatever reason take it to mean she has been wait to meet the "right guy." by asking her you are telling her You are NOT that right guy.
4. “You’re a keeper.”
Read my eyes, that was not a compliment.. you are a fool! |
Saying this one too fast can make it seem like you’re rushing into things. Not only that, but it’s evaluative, making her think you’re checking off a mental check list.
My BAD perspective: If you are at a horse stable looking to buy a horse, you might think to yourself she is the perfect ride or die chick. However women in the 21st century are not looking to be kept... Women want to be partners with a good man who is willing to give her her props she has worked hard for.... and if you are trying to turn her into a possession you are losing ground by the second.
5. “You look gorgeous in that pic.”
This tells her two things: that she doesn’t look good in other pictures or that she doesn’t look good in person. Neither are things you would want to use as a compliment. My BAD perspective: OK this one is a double edge sword . She want to think she is gorgeous all the time in your eyes not just in a particular picture. You need to just say you are gorgeous.... and leave the rest of the words in your head. You can't go wrong if you say less and think more.
6. “You look great.”
Don't tickle me, I will not forgive you, and you will not be getting any of this tonight! |
While this may be an actual compliment, it’s incredibly half-assed and shows her that you’re putting no effort into complimenting her hard work. My BAD perspective: If she spent time at the hair dresser, nail salon, spa just to look right for you. You better come up with some thing better than great. We men go to the barber shop get a hair cut and even our facial hair trimmed in 30 mins. So we tend to not know, understand or care..... what trouble women go through to get ready for a date or work or an outing. Think if you would appreciate her saying to you: " you're .... OK!" the pause will make you think is that the best she come up with? What's wrong with how I look, or sang to her, or performed sexually?
K.I.S.S. tell her "Your are a shining STAR"
