When you hear the word “compliment,” it probably makes you think of all the sweet things that men say to their significant others, am I right? Well listen up ladies: Compliments are a two-way street and as it turns out, men love to hear them, too. And we’re not just talking about the compliments that focus on their physical features, or their uhh … horizontal talents, either. Not that they don’t appreciate a good, “I’m still thinking about what you did to me this morning” text here and there (they asked me to make that clear.)
“I love it when a girl I’m dating is genuinely interested in something I’ve accomplished, whether it’s a song I wrote or a new piece of music equipment I’m working with.” -Osito, 25
2. I like your friends. “Listen, I know my friends can be total clowns. If a girl I’m dating goes out of her way to get to know them and actually tells me she likes them, that really means a lot to me.” -Kevin, 24
3. This was such a good date “Planning a date can be really hard. When a girl I take out tells me that I did a good job and that she had the best time, it makes me feel like I totally nailed it.” -Frank, 30
4. You’re the best at… (fill in the blank) “Guys are pretty competitive by nature, so being called the best at anything: kisser, massage giver, drink maker, etc. makes a guy feel like they’re unique and stands out from other males.”-Rob, 25
5. You’re handsome. “I don’t know why, but being called handsome does it. It’s definitely a word that’s not used enough anymore.” -Khad, 25
6. You’re so motivated. “If a girl is impressed with my level of charisma and motivation, that’s great.” -Andrew, 28
7. You make me feel safe. “Short and simple, but speaks volumes and makes me feel like a superhero.” -James, 25
8. What would I do without you? “Especially when said after I do something like open a jar that’s stuck or reach something on a shelf she can’t get to. I know all you women are all about being independent these days but guys like to feel needed every now and then.” –Sam, 27
9. I love spending time with you. “It’s nice to know that you’re someone she wants to spend all her time with.” -Patrick, 32
10. You’re really funny. “If I can make her laugh or smile that’s pretty much the best compliment.” -Terence, 26

Men only give women compliments about their looks but expect all that! I don’t think so.
