We women can’t live without compliments—this is often because we get them all the time: for our outfits, for the delicious food, or for our new hairstyle. Compliments to men, on the other hand, are a tricky thing. Either they are too “sweet” or they only refer to his fancy car or his beautiful apartment. We’ll tell you which sentences your loved one would be happy to hear and what you shouldn’t say.

It’s not just women who love compliments; men also like it when you praise them from time to time. These are the most popular soul-soothing words:
Even if they don’t want to admit it, men like to hear compliments just as much as we women do. But what do you say to a man? “Your new top is so cute”? Hardly! With these compliments, you are guaranteed to make any man melt:
Compliments on appearance
“Wow, you look well trained” or “I like your hair styled like that”: Men also like to receive compliments on their appearance, and when we women acknowledge that they also do something for their appearance,. Tell your loved one how hot you think he is from time to time. You should avoid sentences like “You look really cute in that top.”. And even if you like his little belly or his bald head, you should refrain from such compliments. He knows that he doesn’t have a six-pack or the fullest mane and may not be happy about it. Yes, men have complexes too, as the dating scam catfishing proves.
Compliments on his masculinity
“You put that all together by yourself? Wow!” or “I could never have hung up the lamp without you”: Men love it when their skills as men are recognized. So if your loved one has proven his skills as a craftsman or technician, then you can praise him a little for it. Likewise, you should never refuse if he offers to help you, because men love the feeling of being needed.
Compliments on the relationship
Are you happy in your relationship? Yes? Then let him know. Especially when you have been together for a long time, it is easy to forget to value the relationship and let your partner know that. A man also likes to hear sentences like “I trust you” or “I will always stand by you,” because that way he realizes that you allow him his freedom and that he can still rely on you.
Compliments on his character
A man also likes to hear compliments about his character. If he makes you laugh, tell him how funny you find him. That always goes down well with the tougher s+x. You should avoid sentences like “You’re nice,” on the other hand, as nice is known to be the little sister of shit. And you should also immediately remove “you’re so sweet” from your vocabulary. Men much prefer to hear sentences that boost the male ego, such as “I feel safe and secure with you.” The compliment shows him that he radiates strength, security, and sovereignty, and men are known to like to feel like strong heroes.
As you can see, some compliments are suitable for men. The best compliment is a very individual one that only you say to your loved one and no one else. Does he have an endearing quirk or a striking physical feature that you particularly like? Then tell him that. He will be very happy about it and will return the favor for the kind words.
