You have posted 12 times in 8 hours and that is too much, too fast. If you post this much content in such a short time, it pushes other content off the front page. This is considered "flooding." At a certain point this becomes counterproductive for you too, your multiple posts start competing with each other, reducing their effectiveness at reaching readers.

We appreciate your enthusiasm for contributing to this forum, but please focus on quality, not quantity. You do not have to post everything today, seddit will still be here tomorrow.

I usually comment women on their nails. It always gets a surprised smile because it's just not something guys notice. I had an ex who was really into nails, so I learned a lot about them from her. It's not something I'm interested in, but I know enough about it that we instantly have something to talk about, and the conversation can flow from there.

Complementary walk: I love the way you move.

Focus on tastes, interests, activities, etc. - i.e. things other than her body.

Yet no guy every compliments them on it.

That's because they usually look hideous when they do that.

How do you compliment a woman's walk?

Great post! I will incorporate this in my game. I'd like to add that giving a compliment creates a certain tension, so it's advisable to relieve that tension with a joke. Basically what Pull-Push does, but slightly different.

"You have a very captivating way of walking, it's casual yet purposeful"

"Oh thank you"

"Did it take a lot of practice?"

"Haha no!"

NO COMPLIMENTS, EVER

Wouldn't form 3 be "you look nice in that dress" if the intention is to compliment the woman?

Do not compliment her eyebrows.

She will know that you don't know a thing about eyebrows, and that compliment will come off disingenuous.

I learn so much on here. Great post!

Oops, bad compliment. I meant you are very knowledgeable and your post is excellent.

Form 1: I like that dress.

Form 2: That is a nice dress.

Form 3: That dress looks nice on you.

Each 3 compliments are seemingly similar and innocuous. However each one carries a striking difference. Form 1 compliments yourself. Form 2 compliments the dress. Form 3 compliments the woman. From least to most powerful impact, Form 1 is the least powerful and Form 3 is the most powerful.

Form 1 is strong in that, it puts the conversation in your frame and comes across as dominant and confident - it's a tad too overused these days though. Form 3 is strong as well as it essentially does the same as Form 1, while appearing to be more discerning. If anything, Form 2 is the weakest as it only attempts to state a fact without addressing the relationship or connection between the two parties, and makes you look like a scrub.

Or... You could just have an original thought. The key is to compliment on things she has control over e.g. sense of humour, body language, conscious mannerism etc. not things she was born with or she didn't not acquire herself e.g. eyes or smile.

Complimenting the scenery around her has nothing to do with her, and saying you'd like to take a picture is just even weirder.

One compliment that I give that is really easy to use is complimenting a girl's make up. This works especially well on girls that you see on a regular basis.

An example would be, "Your eyeliner looks exceptionally good today." You want to make sure that you add in exceptionally so that you are not implying that it doesn't look good other days and this also shows that you pay attention to her and the work that she puts in to her appearance.

A simpler way to put this: "Don't make a compliment about you." Never say "I like your smile." Instead, say "You have pretty eyes." The first example makes it about the person giving the compliment (I like ...) versus the second example, which makes it about the person receiving the compliment (You have ...).

Toastwaver · 2016-06-28T04:02:17+00:00

I'd replace "That dress looks good on you" with "You look good in that dress." The compliment should be to her, not the dress.
