Tips for complimenting
« on: June 02, 2012, 10:29:25 AM »
We always get told not to compliment RW on their looks, right? Oh but that is so hard, because she is beautiful...

So, what are some ways to compliment RW, apart from the obvious character traits one can deduce and admire, or are those off the table also?

Is there a subtle way in which to compliment RW that she will accept and be happy about, that is not as overt as saying "you're smoking hot".
My search was going so well, then life intervened... but I'm back!

I think this must vary quite a bit based on the age of the woman.

I haven't romanced any of them younger than late 30s or so the past several years.

Perhaps the younger gals do hear words about how hot they are all the time and it might get a little tedious.

However, believe me, the gals late 30s and older do not get tired of hearing how great they look . . . because they don't hear it that often, if at all.

The Gal with me now:  mid 40s.  I tell her quite frequently that she looks beautiful, great, sexy, body like a teenager, or  whatever.  She did not hear this before.

She eats it up, and consequently tries even harder to keep in good shape, etc.

I had similar responses from the other women that I spent extended time with.
A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

Good point ML, regarding age, the women I am interested in are early to mid 30's.

I really appreciate your beauty.

P.S.
Jeff, instead of compliments show appreciation. If you let it shine through, she will accept it and be happy about, I'm pretty sure.

Good luck!

I have found that women anywhere do respond favorably to honest, sincere compliments on her beauty that are not directly connected to your dick. They also appreciate compliments on their intelligence, wit, charm and style as well.  Fewer and fewer men have the ability to recognize intelligence, wit charm and style though. This is generally universal not matter which culture you find them in  :D

Faux Pas, I failed to find an "acceptable legal phrase" to express just the same thought.  ;D

You mean they did more so at one time in history? When was that  :P

I think ML gets where I am coming from, its not about not seeing those things and appreciating them, for me strait out brains is the biggest turn on, these things are not hard to figure out and relatively easy to appreciate and compliment. What I'm talking about is the beauty that comes with such brains...

As for the bit about connected to your dick? Well, you brought that up, not sure what relevance that has here, to express such a vulgar thought. What were you saying about charm, wit and intelligence?

 ;D So often, many men haven't discovered the connection of what comes out of their mouth is directly tied to their libido

As for the bit about connected to your dick? Well, you brought that up, not sure what relevance that has here, to express such a vulgar thought. What were you saying about charm, wit and intelligence?

C'mon jeff, you're an intelligent guy. I didn't realize you were so sensitive  :D There's nothing vulgar about it. Had you rather I used penis, schlong, tallywacker or any number of other acceptable terms? Suck it up cupcake

Why "to not compliment"? Of course you may!
Truth is- RW will imediately spot the "fake" compliments (in which Americans are very good))))))))))

"Smoking hot" could be a compliment under 2 conditions: 1) she will understand what it means; 2) you have to make a very enthusiastic face telling that.
If you really need specific hints here you are:
* What a charming fragnance. Please tell me the brand of your perfume, it drives me crazy.
* Nice earrings. I like them.
* Strange thing happens when I see you. My heart beats frequently.  Do I need to visit a doctor or that's effect of your new dress?
* When you come here, the room became bright and my soul is warmed. You're just sunshine.
* I associated you with a blooming [her favorite flower]. Only you fades never.
* Admirable shoes. You steps in them like a Hollywood star. And I'm your  fan.
* Your hairdresser is a master, elegant hairstyle, I like it.
* You have beautiful  [color] hairs. I'd like to be your hairdresser.
* This dress fits you well. No supprise, any clothes will fit a person with such excellent figure.
* Please, don't stop talking. I like to watch how your lips move. They are so sensual that I suspect it could be a product of plastic surgery. Just kidding, fortunatly silicone is not welcome in FSU.
* I can admire  endlessly the fire in a fireplace... and your face, your eyes, your hands, you.
* When you're close to me I become a complete fool. No any thoughts but only about you. I heard that each women has inside a tiny piece of devil. If that's true you've got a lot of devilish charm.
* Please, smile. Your smile is like a medal for me, no kidding. Oh, thank you, my chest is full of medals now.

Smoking hot is at least about the woman herself.

Your suggestions shown above are not about the woman herself.

I suggested how to make compliments to a woman, not how to value her. She may appreciate kind words about her pet or her cooking more than about herself as a whole human.
