16 Compliments Women Wish They Received From Their Boyfriends
“I think many girls would love to hear, ‘I’m proud of you’ more often. Every time my boyfriend tells me he’s proud of me I just feel so goddamn happy, like someone is aware of all the effort I’m putting into something.” — Maddieland
“Anything relevant or specific to the moment. ‘You’re beautiful’ is great and all, but ‘you look amazing with your hair down like that’ or ‘your eyes look especially blue today’ are the compliments that I remember. If the compliment could be said to me on any day at any time, it’s not as special.” — 2194779109
“Your eyebrows are fantastic. I spend the most time on them during my beauty regimen. I’d love for someone to notice.” — [deleted]
“Hearing that you’re funny, smart, thoughtful, etc… Most compliments from men focus on physical traits or overall appearance.” — yeesh_kabab
“Appearance wise, I’d appreciate something specific, like, that color is really flattering on you, it makes you glow, whatever. But that’s asking way too much.” — Littlepinkgilt
“I’d love to hear something along the lines of you make me so happy.” — [deleted]
“I want him to tell me my hair is soft. It’s like three fucking feet long. It’s hard to take care of. I want you to acknowledge it!!!!” — omnenomnom
“You are one of the smartest people I know. I feel like guys never acknowledge or compliment smarts on chicks, it would be so nice (and hot) if guys not only said I was cute (I get cute more often than anything) but I actually had something between my ears.” — azick545
“I much prefer it when men compliment me on something related to my style than something related to my body. ‘I really like your outfit.’ ‘Your shoes are cool.’ Versus ‘Nice rack.’ ‘I like that ass.'” — sshheelleeyy
“Your winged liner is perfect.” — SoKawaiiGirl
“I’ve got curly hair and only ever really get nice comments on it after I straighten it, which I hate doing because it’s a pain in the ass and makes me feel like my natural hair is ugly. So nice comments about it when it’s not straightened seriously make my day.” — [deleted]
“That I carry myself with elegance. That would make me melt. I overheard my boyfriend say this about Emily Blunt. Though I agree, I felt envious.” — HappySadHuman
“I like when guys tell me I’m strong. I bear hugged my coworker once and he was genuinely surprised and went, ‘HOW ARE YOU SO STRONG?!’ I lived off that high for a good two weeks.” — Emily_McAwesomepants
“Honestly, if you can’t find something about her personality that you can compliment her on then makeup and shoes are a good go to. Also ‘That color looks great on you’ is always nice.” — SoKawaiiGirl
“This may be asking for too much but instead of the generic ‘You look really nice’ or ‘You’re beautiful’ I would really love if my boyfriend told me I looked amazing or stunning when I dress up. The tone he uses assumes that the compliment is a logical fact and I really wish sometimes he would put some emotion into it to indicate that he’s actually kinda blown away.” — [deleted]
“Your makeup looks cool today, instead of the usual you look good with makeup. While I get that their intention is nice, I can’t help but wonder if the latter is implying that I only look good with makeup…but I guess I’m just being insecure.” — whaleoogling
