How To Give a Good Compliment

// September 14th, 2009 // 4 Comments » // Advice

Nothing else in the world can mimic a good compliment’s warm, body-lifting feeling. Instead of waiting to receive your day’s compliment, why not give one out. You’ll be sure to get some in return. Not all compliments are verbal, some are non-verbal.  A simple ‘full-body up-down glimpse’ is an example of a non-verbal compliment.  The other person indeed was checking you out, but did not gather enough balls to spill the beans. Whenever I see  a girl do this to me, I usually stare back in the eyes and either smile or deliver a good compliment. Girls love to be flattered. They can’t help it even if they wanted to.

1. Make a non-generic compliment. Say something specific. Don’t say you look nice, well you can, but there are better ones you can say. Girls are obsessed with their hair, so say ‘nice hair’.

2. Say something more. The more specific you are, the better. It makes them feel, I think, as if you indeed noticed them. So maybe say something like ‘nice necklace, it matches your dress so beautifuly. or nice necklace, are those real diamonds!?, or nice necklace, those diamonds are hurting my eyes!’ or nice necklace, its perfect for your outfit.’ As you can see the more clever or funny you can be the more your compliment will stand out and they will be feel more confident about themselves.

3. The whole point of compliments is to be more friendly with a person, to start a discussion (hopefully). So follow up your compliment with a question. ‘nice necklace, it matches your outfit by the way so perfectly. Where did you get it?’ Now, even though we might not really care where they got the necklace, it’s just a matter of seconds before discussion starts. Who knows, maybe you both shop at the same store!

Now with compliments, don’t go over the top because then it looks like you’re too desparate and you’re clueless. Don’t go over the top with your compliments either because they will think you’re a freak. So don’t say ‘holy shit, nice necklace! It’ matches the pixels of your retina so nicely….’  And if you want others to accept your compliments, you must be confident with them and be sincere. There are only certain times when you would want to laugh such as ‘haha, we both have the taste in style’ Again, don’t laugh like a freak or over do it.

What do you think? I have no proof of what i’m talking about, but with my experience in life this is usually how compliments work. COMMENTS PLEASE.

9 Translations For Men

// July 19th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Advice, LOL

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the ‘calm’ before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission so don’t do it lol.

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but it’s a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing there and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. Sleep lightly and hide the kitchen utensils.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome.

8. Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying ‘FUCK YOU’

9. Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking, ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3.
