Thank you very much for providing me with valuable information about compliments. In fact I am doing a reaseasrch by which I try to compare British and Arabic compliments so I wonder if we could ask British girls , through you site, to answer the following questions: 1. What are the compliments you have received during the last three weeks, who paid them ( a male/female friend , a relative , or one who is of a higher/lower social status than you) and what was your response ?(please answer by giving the exact words ) 2. What are the compliments you have paid during the last three weeks ? To whom you paid them ( a male/female friend , a relative , or one who is of a higher/lower social status than you) and what was their response ? ( please answer by giving the exact words ) Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible. Your site is really fantastic Sara .

It's nice to see that people are interested in the topic of compliments. Complimenting with sincerity is important. It shouldn't be fake or come off fake, ever. But depending on your personality you could truly be impressed by a V8. For some it might sound ridiculous, but for someone like me who really is impressed by a fast car it will sound sincere.

And they should be given freely. But I'd go further and say that they should sound like they really fit the situation without being gushy. Complimenting a guy's strength for opening a pickle jar can come across like, "Oh, what a big, strong man you are!" That sounds a bit goofy and insincere. It's much better to phrase it in a way that fits the situation... "Thanks for opening the pickle jar. I just don't have your strength." Or even about his car... Don't say, "I know so little about cars, but I'm really psyched about your V8." That doesn't sound plausible. Better to say, "I don't know much about cars, but you sound excited about your V8. What makes it so good?" The compliment is more subtle here... You're telling him that he knows more than you do, and you're asking him to show off his knowledge.

Sometimes you can realize new things about life and people from reading. But I think the greatest compliments, the ones that people really feel, are the ones that come from your heart. Maybe if we set out to educate our hearts, rather than to win somebody, that meeting somebody will be a more harmonious, lasting, honest thing. Playing charades takes a lot of energy. And not just your own! How many people feel angry because of the tricky way a romantic partner spoke to win them, but turned out to have had harder feelings? How UNpleasant it is to hear 'compliments' spoken like the magic words or a button onscreen?

I get told all the time I look Ben Stiller honestly I am told that about twice a month I have even had a woman hounding me for an autograph. Grant it, that was during Mardi Gras and she was three sheets to the wind but having a crowd stop and look at you on Bourbon Street is very imbarassing. Now if I had his income I most likely would not mind but I don't think I look like him nor does my best friend and I personally don't think he is good looking. So for me its not a compliment at all and a person does get tired of total strangers in public asking "has anyone ever told you..." and even after you say "Yes all the time!" they turn to whom there with "dosen't he look like...." as they point kind of makes me feel like a sideshow at times.

Compliments are something that makes people feel good and I do not see how you could go wrong. If you are the type that have a hard time accepting compliments, then the best way to respond is to just simply say "Thank you." These days people seem to have forgotten about manners and all I hear are complaints, so I make sure that I compliment at least one stranger a day. Remember, smiles are contagious.
