How to Compliment Properly: Avoid These Mistakes - 8 of the Worst Compliments for Women
Some men don't know how to praise women properly.
They are talking nonsense without meaning to.
Are you afraid of getting slapped? Or maybe getting hit in the face with flowers?
Then memorize these phrases so that you never say them to a woman. Otherwise, you will face her negative reaction.
"Did you get a new hairdo? It suits you so well! Just yesterday you had straw on your head!"
It turns out that the lady's previous hairstyle made you shudder. But you hid your opinion until the very end.
Now think about how a woman will perceive this information. She will decide that you cannot be trusted. She considered you a close and dear person, and you turned out to be an ordinary deceiver.
Many ladies like to embellish the facts. It is possible that the woman will get angry and include you among the traitors. And try to prove after that that you did not gloat or laugh at her hair.
Women's hysteria in this situation seems quite justified. Choose your compliments carefully. Just say that the lady's hair is perfectly styled and dyed a pleasant shade. Delete the words "yesterday" and "before that."
"Your bust drives me crazy!"
Praised? Then run away as fast as you can. If the lady catches up with you, you will definitely be in trouble. Representatives of the weaker sex do not want to hear such statements even from their husbands and lovers.
Are you in the honeymoon phase? Then refrain from frank phrases of an intimate nature. Rest assured, your beloved is aware of what a gorgeous body she has.
Do you want to praise her juicy curves? Look at the woman with admiration and desire. She will understand everything and will not be offended. Moreover, she will be pleased.
"You are more beautiful than all the girls in the world! And I have seen many beauties, believe me."
This compliment is more like an unpleasant hint. The woman will probably think that your search for a betrothed will not stop with her.
Of course, she will not want to become one of a thousand candidates. This is the correct position of every self-respecting woman.
In her mind, you will appear as an insatiable seeker, dreaming of the ideal girl. It turns out that you will run away as soon as a more worthy candidate is found.
Do you value this lady or are you chasing a non-existent ideal? Do you choose the first option? Focus on the attractiveness and beauty of a woman without comparisons.
Are you leaning towards the second option? Then go looking for a real beauty and stop fooling your friend!
"Your makeup today is simply amazing!"
Yes, you are a keen and observant man. But why focus so much on decorative cosmetics? You shouldn't judge a girl's war paint.
Women love it when men focus on their natural beauty, not on the “ton of plaster.” Plus, they want to be on top every day. Remember: the word “today” does not go with compliments!
Naturalness is trendy now. Emphasize the beauty of her lips, eyes, face. Otherwise, the lady will decide that in your eyes she is a colorful peacock.
"In this wonderful dress you have become visually slimmer and taller!"
So, in jeans and a tunic she looks like a chubby, and in a dress – like a statuette?
The conclusion that comes from this phrase is that to disguise an unattractive figure, a woman needs long and loose dresses. Do you think your words will make her happy?
The woman will decide that for you she is an ugly fat woman. Do not expect a smile from her, she will rather burst into tears from such tactlessness. If she suddenly turned thin and tall, it means that before that she was squat and plump. You will not convince the lady otherwise. The only thing you can do is say: “You are dazzling!”
"You're not as pretty in photos as you are in real life."
The modern world is amazing and sometimes inexplicable. For a person to be appreciated, he must have a lot of beautiful pictures on social networks.
In any case, you will run into rudeness. It all depends on how the woman interprets your compliment. There are 3 options:
1. She chooses bad photos.
2. She poses badly.
3. She doesn't know how to use a photo editor.
Agree, no one wants to be a bad photographer and a lousy model. With these words you will deal a double blow to the young lady. Do not hurt her with hints. Show how glad you are to see her in person.
"You seem so young despite your age!"
Usually, such compliments are exchanged between ladies. But if a man says this, he will be in trouble. Especially if he does not know how old she really is.
If you translate this phrase into “women’s language,” you’ll get something like this: “I think you’re 32, but you look like a 25-year-old girl.” Now imagine how a person who recently turned 22 should react to these “flattering words.” With this statement, you’ll stun the young lady and significantly lower her self-esteem. Be careful on the turns!
"My previous girlfriend is nothing compared to you!"
No one says that ladies are in dire need of pure and innocent virgins. However, they do not want to hear anything about their gentlemen's ex-girlfriends.
Keep your mouth shut and don't spread about your past romances. Pretend that your current girlfriend is the one and only. This way you will save your health and her nerves.
What awkward compliments would you like to add to this list? Feel free to provide your own examples.
