    Guess it probably depends on the girl, but there's no harm in asking smile

          But everyone has a love language.  There is a book called the five love languages, and it details how some ppl give love and see they are loved.  The way i give love is different from how i see being loved.  It is a really great book

          Well spoke, Inner Jew. Pretty words, or words you think she wants to hear can be insincere and downright lies. Actions show true feelings. Spend time with her, do some things she likes to do. Show her what you are all about - that is sincere compliment. Be yourself. Once the wrapping comes off the package, the truth will out, one way or another (pun intended).

      The best compliment a guy has given me was letting me know how smart he thought I was. Aman who pays attention to what I'm saying is a plus for me. lol

    Content is probably not as important as sincerity. If you're really telling her about something you like about her, she'll probably appreciate it (unless the only thing you like is her boobs lol).

    As for what frog said about donuts, I'd see the insincerity there immediately. Nothing is better than donuts. big_smile

          We have such a puppy.  After the Irish Setter died, sad, we got her. She is quite the terror, though.  Never have seen a dog chew up so much stuff...  It's kind of funny.  If she hadn't eaten money, my wallet, toothpaste, mascara...and the list goes on.

          They say terriers are closer to wolves in intelligence and rambunctiousness...  I think so!

            I had an Irish Setter, the most amazingly unusual dog I have ever owned. Vinnie, he was gorgeous, Could open fridge doors help himself to food, He is one I really miss.(I didn't know they had a bowel twisting tendency, so he gorged on Dog Biccies.and that was his downfall.)  Had eight homes before I got him, no one else could handle him. Losers. their loss.

    I once had a boyfriend tell me that I was the sweetest and most prettiest and smartest girl he had ever met. (He hadn't known me for very long muahahaha) wink. But that was really cute and it came across as very genuine and meant a lot to me!

    Other than that, I don't even know if compliments are necessary, everyone gives you compliments! So, they're not very special anymore. I think it's more about actions. If a guy is really nice and sweet that is sort of like a nice compliment to give to a girl because it shows he really cares.

    If that makes sense. wink

      Your fathers a thief., Angrily she glares next sentence, He has taken the Stars from the Sky and put them in your eyes. She glows.
      Then even worse your fathers a thief again to the second, cringe this lady has really pronounced lips.
      Again a glare, Then he has taken the roses from my garden and placed them on your lips.Again a smile from ear to ear.
      The thick guy finally decides I can do this.
      Walks to the lady with the pronounced lips, and says your father is a thief, she says What, and he retorts, He has taken the tyres off my tractor and put them on your lips......Not the way to go.

    you could say "you don't sweat much for a fat girl".

    or

    Tell her she's beautiful. I know it sounds simple but everyone says "cute" or "hot" or "sexy" or "pretty". Say "beautiful" (and mean it because whoever she is, she IS beautiful. All women are).

    And they all want to hear it.

    Treat her with respect. Listen to who she is. Allow a woman (or a man) to tell you who they are according to themselves. To see someone the way they see themselves honors them and their opinions.

    Create a relaxed environment for people to just be who they are, without a need to 'appear' to be something. This will create a great relationship.
