Jesus, dude. If I had a body like that.... quote: ORIGINAL: PeonForHer quote: ORIGINAL: Greta75 I mean compliments about their looks, belly, legs, arms, cock whatever, basically sexualised compliments about themselves? How about compliments about their performance in bed and what wonderful lovers they are, or how good they are in a specific sexual skill? Do they and what type of compliments do men like to hear? I've actually been told that men don't like to hear compliments about their body parts, because it brings their thoughts into the arena of how many other men has this woman been with and comparing with and it becomes buzz kill. I don't care about other men. She's with me now, and that's that. I love compliments but it took a long time for me to handle them gracefully. What's the gentlemanly way of doing it? I never found out. I'd feel quite overwhelmed, actually. These days, if I get a negative feeling at all, it'll be something like 'Thanks. But that's not me, it's just an image and a shell.' Sometimes, though, I can think, 'Well, that might just be true, rather than too good to be true.'.

quote: ORIGINAL: sexyred1 Actually I love compliments from women and I often compliment them. Do you actually think a woman giving you a compliment means they are hitting on you? How sad. Women are beautiful and we have lots of things to compliment and empower each other instead of being competitive. When I was a callow youth I'd get edgy over compliments from men. But I later decided that was a stupid reaction and I was being a berk. I l glow when I get them these days. And I'm doubly grateful, in a way: I don't suppose it's always easy for a gay man to compliment another man, especially if he knows the man in question is straight.

After a rousing episode in the bedroom, I told my sweetie that he was my H3 - hot, hung and handsome. He grinned. I was still in the glow, and he knew I was being sincere. and some of the nicest compliaments I have ever received were very random - like the woman who slowed down and opened her car window to tell me that I had beautiful hair. I was SO chuffed! Drive-by compliaments are wonderful.

I only like compliments regards my eyes, studly demeanor, sexual conquests, ability to hold a show tune in the key of C sharp and B minor, my hip to shoulder ratio and of course...my shoes. Other than that....you can pretty well compliment me on anything (regardless of the above)...and I'm pretty much in. And my eyebrows....I work very hard on my eyebrows. And my ears....the fact that they're balanced. And my belt...I work very hard to make it match my shoes. That's about it. And my socks....I always have matching socks....that's pretty much all of it.... Except for my shirt...it's always ironed....and matches my jacket.... Unless of course it doesn't and then I'd refer you to my socks....

quote: ORIGINAL: sexyred1 quote: ORIGINAL: Greta75 I got to admit that while I can take compliments on my clothings and shoes and stuffs from females, but if my girlfriend ever told me I was beautiful, i would freak out and ignore it. Probably that's just being homophobic, but I love compliments from men! And would beam and show appreciation over it. Actually I love compliments from women and I often compliment them. Do you actually think a woman giving you a compliment means they are hitting on you? How sad. Women are beautiful and we have lots of things to compliment and empower each other instead of being competitive. Yup. Same here. Our admin at the office had this really beautiful sweater on the other day. I told her it was really nice and it looked really good on her. I don't think either of us thought I was hitting on her. My daughter has a friend with those really bright blue eyes. When she came over to the house for the first time I told her how beautiful her eyes are. Yeah, I definitely was not hitting on her!

say "Thank you my love and I have to tell you that I believe you have impeccable taste"....................make sure you are smiling when you say it though or the next sound you may hear is the door slamming.

ElectraGlide -> RE: Do men like compliments? (1/24/2014 10:43:53 PM)
I am not used to compliments, but when I do get one it does confuse me, lol. I have always been up and down with my body weight, when I drop a bunch of pounds I have got compliments. I have been asked for tips on how I did it, so I shared how I did it, hoping it would help them. So the shock of the compliment got buried in my reply. I once heard two overweight ladies standing nearby when I got my compliment from someone else say, I wonder how long he will keep it off, I guess they thought I did not hear it, it did not mattter to me, weight loss and gain is a cycle of life, and atleast I tried and won that current weight loss battle.

quote: ORIGINAL: Greta75 How about compliments about their performance in bed and what wonderful lovers they are, or how good they are in a specific sexual skill? My very first impulse was to assume of course men like receiving these sorts of compliments without exception (if believably delivered). Then it occurred to me if a guy has difficulty accepting compliments in general, he will either be more inclined or else less inclined to be skeptical of sexually-related compliments. Hard to say how the pendulum would swing. Personally, I've never known a man who wasn't either proud, glad or relieved to get verbal reassurance of this. Now, he might not believe it when a woman proclaims he's the best she's ever had. That could be suspect. (Maybe nobody's ever told him that? He doesn't believe it himself to be possible and has to hear it a number of times before it will sink in?) Not only that, getting this type of compliment invites a reciprocal response (if the guy has any sense) and perhaps this is where he gets stuck? Any feedback on this matter would be greatly appreciated by us gals.

A comment a male forum poster made on a different thread the other day brought this discussion topic to mind as to whether men love receiving compliments. It would be nice if more men would come forward to offer their responses. What say you?

I've actually been told that men don't like to hear compliments about their body parts, because it brings their thoughts into the arena of how many other men has this woman been with and comparing with and it becomes buzz kill. I can only speak for myself. I like being complimented on that which I have accomplished. Being complimented on that which was simply bestowed on me by genetics is a little different, still pleasant but different. Suppose someone tells me that they like my hair or eyes,would it be the same if they told me how much they liked my trust fund?(Yes I have the piercing blue eyes and the full head of blond curley hair...no I do not have the trust fund[[:(] ), but you get my drift. Re: being concerned that my partner may have had many other partners reasures me that she is speaking from a position of knowledge. So if she tells me that I rank 124 out of 12,642 then I am accepting high fives all around. How can being in the top 1% be a bad thing.

quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I haven't believed myself to be (anything close to) a good-looking guy in about 30 years (I'm not like wine). So, if a lady compliments my looks, I generally tend to mis-trust her. I figure she's just buttering me up. Other compliments are well appreciated, though. I like to think that some of them are even objective. On the other hand....even if you aren't "generally" good looking.....can't she think that you have a nice feature that she appreciates? Hell....I once dated a guy who was over 400 pounds, had crooked teeth and thinning hair.....but he had the BLUEST eyes that took my breath away, a voice that mesmerized me, and a kiss that made me melt....and I complimented him on those things all the time.
