These Are The Compliments Your Partner Would Like To Hear More Often
“Gorgeous!” “Stunning!” “You appear quite dapper!”
Among the myriad of distinctive and clever compliments, these three tend to be the most unexciting and overused (no disrespect to anyone who continues to use them).
In this contemporary era that brims with imaginative potential and fresh avenues for self-expression, isn’t it somewhat disappointing if we fail to embrace that creativity? I genuinely believe so.
To be frank, if a man were to comment on my picture with phrases like “You’re stunning.” or “Gorgeous.”, my reaction would be far from impressed.
In fact, I would feel somewhat slighted due to the lack of effort or, more accurately, the reluctance (or inability) to present something more unique.
Compliments reveal a lot about the giver’s creativity, effort, and overall character.
Whether you are male or female, delivering dull and clichéd compliments to your partner or the person you’re dating will suggest that you are uninspired, conventional, and common.
Although there’s significant societal pressure on men to provide compliments, both genders should cultivate the skill of offering their partners meaningful and inventive praises.
This practice will truly make them feel extraordinary.
Women, compliments are appreciated by the guys too.


As a woman, I feel a slight embarrassment that we often neglect to praise our men as they deserve. We tend to overlook the fact that men appreciate compliments just as much.
We assume they might not bother about us acknowledging their fresh haircut or trendy new shirt, but the truth is, they actually DO care. However, they might not express this to avoid seeming “needy.”
It’s easy to forget that men face the pressure to consistently project toughness and masculinity, leading to the incorrect belief that they are indifferent to compliments.
The reality is, their desire for compliments is as strong as that of women.
Men don’t need to wear makeup or fancy outfits for you to appreciate them. Complimenting them doesn’t have to be limited to occasions like a new haircut.
If you’re searching for ways to compliment your male partner (or a guy you’re casually seeing), consider these suggestions:
- Recognize his abilities.
- Acknowledge his commitment to work or interests.
- Comment on his character.
- Praise his fashion sense.
- Appreciate his creativity (especially when he goes the extra mile to make you feel valued).
These are the types of compliments that men would cherish hearing more often.
If you were to survey men, many would express frustration over women not recognizing their efforts, or not appreciating their talents, or failing to notice their style (particularly if they have dedicated time to coordinate looks).
Women, here’s a golden tip for capturing any man’s interest and motivating him to pursue you: The more praises you give them (especially regarding their efforts), the more they will seek to impress you.
I believe the majority of men would proffer agreement on this principle. Men enjoy seeing their partner taking the lead in making them feel special for once.
With that perspective, here are compliments for men to help them feel valued and utterly special:
- I always feel secure when you’re by my side.
- You’re incredibly strong.
- Being with you is such a joy.
- Your knack for saying the right thing amazes me.
- You’re an attentive listener.
- Your style is on point.
- Your resilience during tough times is commendable.
From my experiences in romantic interactions with men, I’ve learned two essential insights:
1. They enjoy feeling powerful.
2. They appreciate making you smile.
Complimenting him on these aspects is an effective way to boost your man’s sense of desirability, so keep that in mind.
Men, genuine and imaginative compliments are a guaranteed way to catch and maintain her focus.



In the realm of compliments for women, there’s an extensive spectrum of mundane praises that have turned into clichés. Simply stating that she is beautiful just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Let me guide you in grasping girls and this whole art of complimenting.
What tends to attract us in a compliment is the effort you invest, the nuances you recognize, and your ability to stand apart from the typical (run-of-the-mill) male crowd.
If you wish to capture a girl’s heart and convey your creativity and originality, that mindset should reflect in every facet of your life, not just in your compliments.
The last time I encountered a typical compliment from a guy I genuinely admired (note: I previously admired him), I candidly told him: You could enhance your creativity in your compliments.
As soon as he started bombarding me with those stale compliments, my interest in him diminished significantly. The same principle applies to partnerships.
If you have a girlfriend, it would be odd to continuously repeat the same accolades, right? Eventually, she would find it tiresome and might withdraw her interest due to your lack of depth.
These are the affirmations that women appreciate more frequently.
Rather than solely praising their looks, take the time to acknowledge their character as well.
Also, be mindful of the finer points!
If you aim to comment on a gorgeous girl’s photo like a pro, try focusing on what sets her apart from the crowd.
Consider the following inquiries: What is happening in this image? What distinguishes her traits that make her unique?
There are multitudes of aspects that deserve a compliment beyond just physical beauty. You could commend her lifestyle, her aura, her photography skills, her talents, her passions, her sense of humor—anything!
Instead of a bland statement like: I love your outfit! specify your admiration by saying: The color/design of your T-shirt/ring/skirt is absolutely stunning.
Whether you’re complimenting her in person or through social media, always remember—it’s all about the SPECIFICS.
If you’re running low on inspiration to make your girl feel extraordinary, here are some heartwarming compliments for women:
- Your enchanting smile, your captivating laughter, and your charming little quirks make you utterly lovable.
- Your eyes are stunning, filled with warmth and intelligence.
- I adore how your eyes light up when you smile.
- Your sense of humor is something I truly cherish.
- You motivate me in countless ways.
- You have a knack for finding magic in the mundane.
- Your grounded nature, humility, and down-to-earth personality are commendable.
It’s a fact that we women never tire of compliments about our hair and makeup (especially after spending ages perfecting it).
Yet, we would also cherish hearing more often how passionate we are about various things, or how humorous and inspiring we can be.
Here’s a bit of humble guidance for men: Don’t go overboard.
If you believe that showering a girl with endless compliments guarantees her affection, you’re mistaken. Moderation is key, as with all things.
“At times, a simple compliment can transform someone’s entire day.” – Unknown



Don’t underestimate how impactful compliments can be. Sometimes, a few kind words can truly uplift someone’s day.
If your aim is to bring a smile to your loved one’s face, ensure you notice all those tiny details that make them unique and special.
Aside from their physical attributes, take time to recognize their endeavors, character, and their radiant aura.
Make them aware that they are recognized and valued. Make sure they know they are cherished and remarkable.
