rainbowian View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 28 Oct, 2010 08:05 PM How long after knowing someone is it appropriate to be giving compliments? There seems to be a lot of guys that will give a woman a compliment when he hardly even knows her which, to me, devalues the compliment. I'm likely on the other end where I prefer to hold all compliments for my wife. When is the best time? Post Reply
riveroflife1 View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 28 Oct, 2010 08:21 PM well, women love compliments...you can say something simple like, I really like your smile or I like your passion for God or you have pretty eyes. i think saving the compliments for your wife is wonderful:) but in order to woo us, we want to feel beautiful to you. save the hum dingers for the wifey, but you can give up a little to the girls along the way.

View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 28 Oct, 2010 08:33 PM What River said. Things like "you have a nice smile" or "I like your laugh" or "cute shoes!" are good to start with. Ok, Iwas kidding about the last one. On the other hand, things like "you are so beautiful" or "I know you are the one for me" or "I don't have to look any longer now that I found you" are NOT (reapeat --- NOT) ok to say when first meeting a lady. Don't do it - it is creepy. Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 28 Oct, 2010 09:32 PM I like to give compliments when we're wearing something similar. For example, if a girl is wearing the female version of the Sperry's that I am, I compliment her on them while simultaneously sticking my foot right next to hers. It works any time, even in the first few seconds of meeting her, since it's still a compliment, but more joking around. As far as more traditional compliments such as, "You look really pretty in that dress," remember supply and demand. Dating is all economics. Over production drives down price, while under production drives up price. If it isn't produced, it has no price. If you don't spew compliments left and right, they're going to be much more valuable, but if you don't give them at all, you're limiting the effect you can have on women. There's also the issue of over saturated markets vs. under saturated markets. If you give one compliment to a women who rarely gets them, it will mean a lot more to her than if you give many compliments to a woman who gets them all the time. A timeline of when to start complimenting a woman isn't as important as making sure that you're giving the compliment because you want to and not because you want her to like you more because of it.

cmseeker10 View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 28 Oct, 2010 10:12 PM The ladies are right.We do love compliments and in my own opinion there is no exact time as to when you can compliment a woman.It's just how you say it and what are going to say.Saying nice dimples ,you have a beautiful voice during first IM or phone conversation would be great.But something like this "I like the way you walk" and" You look hot" is so creepy ..Yes it happened one time with a Christian guy and it made me feel:nahnah: hoooopsss excuse me.:peace: So much rambling the other ladies put it better than me..

Elisa View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 29 Oct, 2010 05:12 AM As mentioned previously, don't give a compliment just to be liked. The compliment must be sincere to have any value. If you truly feel like giving a compliment to a lady, that might be an indicator that one is merited. Post Reply

It makes someone feel special and lifts the spirits. Elisa is right...a compliment should always be genuine, from the heart, expecting nothing in return. Also, I think the best compliments are specific. Not broad general statements like 'you're beautiful'...but a statement that shows that you've focused on the person and found something about them that you genuinely like. Post Reply

View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 30 Oct, 2010 08:44 PM It's perfectly fine to give a compliment the very first time you see a woman. If she blows you away, it's fine to say "wow you look beautiful." lol You can compliment anytime if you really mean it. Post Reply
View Profile History	Compliments Posted : 3 Nov, 2010 07:18 PM i think that compliments are okay,depending on the time & place,location and sometimes even her moods.for example,(time&place) if you go to a store or supermarket and you noticed a lady that is new there & her hair caught your attention,then compliment her.who knows,mabe she may look for when the next time that you arrive there!(location)if you both go on a date(i never went on one myself yet)and you take her to the beach and the moon is up then tell how wonderful her eys sparkle in the moonlight.(moods)be careful what you tell her when she's looking in the mirror or you may end up like abe lincon in the gieco commercal! lol!
