Most of the time we are far too reserved or consumed by the small and big worries of everyday life when it comes to making our loved ones feel good. Compliments are such a beautiful thing. Especially if they just come without any specific reason.

On a Monday morning or in the middle of the supermarket... Compliments make us happy and proud. The man at our side is no different. So open your mouth and say what you think and feel more often. That makes the world a little more beautiful.

Not every compliment is well received by men

Of course, it is important to find the right words. “You’re cute!” or “The men before you really weren’t like thatlike you” are probably more of a grab in the toilet. So we thought about what good compliments are for men - and what it's better not to say.

There is ONE golden rule that applies to all compliments: They should be honest, personal and... come from the heart. Any trite phrases that you “just say” to your loved one in order to make them happy are rather counterproductive. Nevertheless, we have found some nice ideas for men's compliments that might inspire you... We'll also tell you a few things that men don't like to hear!

1. Spontaneous expressions of love

We usually talk far too little about our feelings. Especially when the first euphoria phase of the relationship is over, we often skimp on compliments and expressions of love. It's so easy to make the partner at our side happy with just a few words. It doesn’t always have to be the classic “I love you”. Men also like to hear what exactly makes them so special.

Better not:"You are so sweet!" -Honestly, do you want to hear something like that? You are intelligent, funny, understanding, sensitive, exciting, charming, sexy - everything. But sweet?!

Better:“You are everything to me / my dream man / my great love / my favorite person!”

2. Compliments for men: Small talents

A little recognition every now and then is good for all of us. And men especially. No matter how self-confident and cool the masters of creation may appear, a little praise, or even better, a sign of admiration, is like balm for their tender soul! So if you tell your lover when the opportunity arises that you admire him for a certain skill or deed, you are guaranteed to see a happy man in front of you.

But be careful: the compliment must of course be sincere and must under no circumstances sound benevolently motherly. Nothing worse than making him feel like a little boy! After all, he doesn't want to be mothered, he just wants to feel how great you think he is.

For example:“I find it really impressive how well you know wine.”Each of us has special abilities. Even if it's just recognizing a song after the first few bars or sizzling great pancakes. Why not say something about it?

3. Compliments for men: His looks

Yes, men are also vain and they too dress up to meet the lady of their heart. You can also praise if you more than like the man visually: his smile, his body, his look, ... Let him feel that the woman at his side (still) thinks he's great!

Better not:“The shirt is from the new XY collection, right?” –Doesn't interest anyone beyond their teens.

Better:“You look stunning today!” or “I like your dimples / your eyes / your hair / your freckles!”.This shows that the other person is attentive and looking closely at you. And that feels great. It's no different for men than it is for us women.

4. Compliments for men: plans and goals

For example:“I’m so proud of you for not smoking for three weeks.”Showing interest in others is always important. If he is trying to do more exercise, stop smoking or save for a new car, even small partial successes should be expressly praised. That spurs him on.

5. Compliments for Men: His Sex Qualities

Caution. This topic is a minefield. So think first, then talk.

Better not:“You do it much better than my ex.”Compare with predecessors. Nobody wants to imagine how their partner was intimate with others. Just the thought of it is enough.

6. Compliments that are difficult

That will certainly be well received by him: if you are willing to admit mistakes and show your greatness to him. For example, by saying to him:“You were right. I was completely on the wrong track!”

7. Compliments on your cell phone

Compliments peror SMS are nice because you can use them in a completely unexpected way. Simply send a nice text message to your partner in the morning and you've made your day.

Better not: Send pre-installed love SMS from iPhone. It doesn't work at all.

Better:“I’m happy that you’re in my life!” or “You’re the best thing that could have happened to me!”

8. Compliments at the right moment

Compliments are especially nice when you praise someone in front of other people. Then the compliment shouldn't be too intimate. Take him to your friends“This is my great love”I'm sure he'll be more than happy to introduce it.

Also nice: If you completely surprise him with the compliment. Be it when you're standing together on the subway, at the checkout in the supermarket or while renovating your apartment. The element of surprise counts!

And now it's time to get to the bacon, girls! You give the next compliment and his smile will reward you royally.
