How To Compliment a Man

Let him know he’s good in bed – without expressly saying it. “That was great,” sounds canned. But a well-placed moan or shiver can speak volumes about his sexual prowess.

Laugh at his jokes. Men spend a lot of time trying to make women laugh, so frequent and hearty chortles are taken as great compliments.

Tell him he’s good at his job, or commend his ability to provide for his family. Men’s egos are very much tied to their careers and their breadwinning capabilities.

Whatever you compliment him on, make it sound manly. Men don’t want to be told they have a “cute” or “sweet” anything; they want to hear about their “strong” and “tough” attributes.

If you’re in a relationship, praise your guy often. Nearly 70 percent of men polled say they wish they received more compliments from their partner.
