2010-01-27 Compliments for men. Part 1
"Woman loves with ears, but man..." Psychologists have proved long ago that 99 men from 100, how self-confident they wouldn’t look, on subconsciously desire our approval.
But if for woman compliment is extra reason to show off, to hear couple of praiseful words about herself, for man it is reason for action. And here compliment acquires truly magic power.
You don't need any love potion and spells: compliment said in time and correctly made is able to transform anyone in Terminator and the most inveterate Don Juan and tie only to one skirt for good. And all this because that our strong men cannot live without "nourishment" with our approval and admiration. Moreover that compliment is not a lie. It is just small exaggeration of virtues. Or benevolent truth said in time.
To say compliment correctly is a sort of science.
Big importance has tone with which you say compliment. Touched-childish baby talk is appreciated by man much less than, for example, intimately depressed voice that is intended just for him.
In no way irony is allowed, in which we women, for no obvious reason shape praise addressed to darling.
One more widespread mistake: many ladies overdo with compliments throwing them on the occasion and without. It is probably that they follow one of two principles: either "never too much of a good thing" or "the best decoration for man is marmalade". Both these postulates, maybe, are correct each apart, but not applicable to compliments. They must be said only for a good reason. Otherwise beloved (of course if he is not a complete fool) soon will stop to trust them and praise will loose its magic power.
