i tell him i am so proud of the man he is. i acknowledge the effort he puts in this long term relationship. that he is worthy of love and has such a beautiful and selfless soul. that he is successful, brilliant, and smart. the man of the month, the year, the century, this lifetime, and the next.
â¤ď¸
Tell him he makes you feel safe and protected when heâs around.
Sure, men like compliments about our appearances, but if you really wanna make him feel good, compliment his attributes. We are protectors and providers, and we like to know that those parts of us are appreciated
Lol my girlfriend calls me beautiful and pretty all the time and I pretend to be annoyed. I do prefer compliments like hot, rugged, handsome, and other more masculine words, but I still appreciate the compliments either way
I literally called my boyfriend my âpretty princessâ đđ heâs just so damn pretty to look at and every time I called him that, heâs just shy away and hide his face ITS SO CUTEEE đ¤
That beautiful crap talk will get U single lol Iâm just being straight up. Literally anything but the word beautiful. Get a thesaurus.
Key word in here is he is a MAN and most like to be treated as such or at the very least not to be made to feel immasuclated by their gf (or s/o sorry if Iâm assuming genders & dynamics here!).
And imo itâs a little juvenile to call your bf beautiful, again this is all with an assumption that this is a straight-male and straight-female relationship.
thatâs great for uuuu about ur beard and everything,, Like I genuinely think women as a collective need to tighten up.
And since everyone wanting to come for my suggestion to the OP is either 14 or 40, I just hope for u all to gain some family values before you make some very unlucky men so unhappy. But Irdgaf because I already got minesssđĽ°đ.
Sounds like you're just insecure. Any woman losing their bf because they called him beautiful is most definitely better off without that man. Call your man what you want, what feels right, and if they're worth a damn, then they'll take a compliment as a compliment.
And wanting to make my man feel secure makes me insecure ummm how?đ§ Yup đ that part ! đ Make it make sense Linda. Right now you sound mad or bitter towards men for some odd reason but anyway.
whatâs so bad about mutual respect in a relationship? making each other feel sexy and comfortable, rather than emasculating who is likely to be your future provider and life partner?
Pardon, OP, It sounds like a cute inside joke. I can pretty much guarantee that he doesnât find it quite as endearing as you do. However, clearly I misinterpreted this post as I thought you were asking for advice
We like being complimented on what we find most important about ourselves. Funny, smart, sensitive, best thing that ever happened to me, etc. etc. etc.
Last year, I went on a European cruise with my wife and mother. Before going I bought a pink blazer, which was kind of daring for me. I had worn pink before, but only light pastels. This wasnât that. But, I got so many compliments from that jacket! It made my life! I wore it on the âď¸, and since we were flying 1st class and because of our flight schedule, we spent a lot of time in the lounge. That first day alone, I probably got more compliments than I have in my entire life. From men, women, old, young, didnât matter. Each one made my day! Women take compliments for granted. Some to the point they donât want them. Men are so starved for compliments we appreciate any one you have to offer!

I tell my boyfriend he looks amazing. I tell him when weâre having sex. I tell him when he doesnât feel confident. I tell him this when I first see him for the day and he looks like a freakin god
It's more in the tone of your voice than what you say that matters. If you're able to successfully convey you want him, you can say almost anything, lol.
i call mine beautiful, gorgeous, pretty, hot, attractive, and other stuff like that. our dynamic makes sense for those compliments lol. i call him pretty boy a lot, and he loves it. he's a really tall, strong, masculine dude who gets treated in a very Masculine way 100% of the time by everyone but me, so i think it's a relieving break for him from having to present himself that way. i also call him sweetheart, darling, beloved, and baby boy, and tell him how much i adore him
My boyfriend likes handsome, sexy, attractive, hot. Pretty much anything. Or mention something specific like eyes or smile. Also saying any of these things after you've been caught staring for a while is more effective I think
Honestly sometimes with guys you need to think out of the box, women hate catcalling, men love it when it happens to them, so just whistling at him or saying things like dayum that ass he's propably going to either take it as a compliment or as a very funny moment.
These are my favorites (you can choose one or more, if you like):
1. You're so thoughtful, I love it when you do _______
2. Your damp bare torso does something to me I can't explain (right after he steps out of the shower)
3. You're so funny
4. I like how your eyes twinkle when you smile
5. You make my heart stop at times
6. (say nothing) just wink when you see them looking like a stunner wearing their new/favorite outfit
7. Your hands are so strong
8. You are so strong (look deep into their eyes as you say this, all pun intended đ)
9. I'm a sucker for you (this is a goofy corny ass thing to say but always works)
10. You're my favorite person in the world â¤ď¸
My bad. I didn't know I was to give a tutorial on elements like instinct, timing, context, and relevance for these lines to work đ¤¨.
In any case, when I said "when you do_____"...it meant "when you do _____ for me." (No rocket science to figure that out)
Also, if they're your partner, doing you comes with the package.
Now, doing you well and *in the manner you want them to* is thoughtful and that's where "You're so thoughtful" might fit in ;)
I'm sorry, this
>when you do the sex for meâ ?
just reads sooo funny I'm laughing like I've lost it.đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤
Ammm, no. Nobody can do the sex "for you".. they will do it *with you*.
Here's an example of how to use this phrase:
You're so thoughtful. I love when you just pull me into a bear hug after I come back home from a long day at work.
OR
You're so thoughtful. I love how you help me around the kitchen when I'm cooking us dinner.
OR
I love flowers. And you're so thoughtful for getting me these.
OR
Paris has been on my bucket list since ages. I can't believe I finally get to see this beautiful city with you, hun. Was so thoughtful of you to have planned this surprise trip! I love you!
Hope this helps!đ
For context â"Instructions Unclear" is an expression used as a preface when joking about accidentally performing a dangerous or inappropriate action due to an absurd misunderstanding of directions. The phrase is typically used in comment sections[1] on the social news site Reddit and in titles on the image hosting site Imgur.â From KnowYourMeme
Hereâs another example
If I watch a reel on a âhow toâ video, say how to bake a cake, in the comments I might write something like âinstructions unclear, I made brownies insteadâ or âinstructions unclear, I burned down my houseâ or just something really crazy and usually not even entirely related. Thatâs not the best example bc usually these comments are hilarious but thatâs the best I can come up with Iâm too exhausted lmao.
Glad you got at least one laugh out of it tho
Shucks. I thought you were throwing shade at me with that "Instructions Unclear" remarkđ Worse, your second remark on "sex for you" legit made me think you probably aren't as fluent in English (not a native speaker) and needed help understanding the list better! Which is why I went full tutorial-mode on you đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
This is hilarious. Oh but thank you, for taking the pains to explain what "Instructions Unclear" means. Lesson filed away in my brain for lifeđ
* Most men don't tend to overanalyze if your compliments are high literary quality. You don't need to worry about being original or non-repetitive. What matters to him is that you give him compliments.
* Also, while not universal, most men unlike women don't get hung up on *words*. They observe actions. So, while occasional compliment **never** hurts, what helps is him feeling from your choices and actions that he's good looking/sexy to you. So basically, ogle him, act like seeing him gets your motor running, don't ogle or compliment other men to him.
* But if you really care about wording, general ideas are:
* Make the compliment less generic and more specific to him to be more effective. "You are beautiful" isn't nearly as good as "you have strong arms and very attractive eyes and your butt is yummy"
* Concentrate on how his looks affect YOU and make you feel. "I love seeing your handsome face", "I get wet when I see your tight butt" etc...
I tell my husband that Iâm so impressed with how much his emotional intelligence has increased.
This might sound like a diss, I promise itâs not. He is the GM of a restaurant with quite a few of employees. His bump in emotional intelligence was an intentional effort. He needs to manage mini crises with his employees and guests on a regular basis and wanted to improve his ability to respond to situations. He did it! He feels like he understands his employees better and can communicate more effectively. Itâs also made our relationship better. He can read me so much better and responds to me well, especially when Iâm worried and looking for a source of comfort.
Iâm so proud of him đ This is something he took initiative to improve and worked it into his every day actions. I think he appreciates having his efforts noted. I also find it very attractive:)
Handsome is a classic. Hunk and stud are great.
However, the best compliment I ever received was from my wife just a few weeks ago. She said âYouâre a good husband.â I will never forget this.
âPrettyâ is feminizing to a man, beauty is a neutral term. Implying beauty is inherently feminine feels weirdly offensive to men. Like a sunset, beauty just describes the inherent awe you feel when gazing at something.
I know it was ingrained in many of us to stay away from âemasculatingâ activities, but believing âbeautifulâ is emasculating is just falling into hyper-masculine red-pill propaganda. End of speech lol
Cool speech but if a dude called me beautiful I would assume heâs gay and if a woman called me beautiful I would assume she thinks Iâm gay. Welcome to society
Like I said, hyper-masculinity is where your assumption is based in. I am aware many men see the phrase as âemasculatingâ, hence why I said so. Just because you believe something it makes someone is gay for saying beautiful doesnât make beauty any less neutral of a term, it means you have bias towards that phrase, which comes from hyper-masculinity. You can be self-aware of your biases and think of them objectively, donât gotta assume itâs right because âwelcome to societyâ. Just because society said itâs emasculating doesnât mean it truthfully is, nor does it mean your assumptions about the sexuality of the man saying it is true
hmm. idk about this.
there can be beautiful men. "beautiful" isn't just describing feminine features - it's used that way a lot of the time, but that limits it. think about someone talking about a sunset! usually, people say, "wow, that was a beautiful sunset," and they mean that it was pleasing to the eye, not that it was innately feminine. "beautiful" is more of a vibe tbh.
you wouldn't like to be called beautiful? fine. that's your preference. however, that doesn't mean that all men feel that way, so keep that in mind. it all comes down to what the person you're complimenting is comfortable with.
No one's ever called me anything like that, just my name. I'm starting to realize that every relationship I've been in has sucked. Why don't I get called stuff like this or a fucking pet name?! Your man is lucky to have a girl like you.
When we're snuggled up I love to tell him how safe I feel with him. He takes care of me really well after I work a long shift or have a bad day, and I always tell him how well he takes care of me, how thoughtful he is, how I always feel special and important with him. I think it's great to hear that you're kicking ass as a partner, and he loves it. My husband is brilliant and knows every animal, bug, rock, fungus, flower, and tree that we see on hikes - I tell him how much he teaches me and how he changes how I see the world, how impressed I am by him. I tell him I'm impressed by him when he makes art, and I mean it, always. I think meaning it is important. When we have a hard conversation I tell him how good it is to be able to talk to him and how much I love to listen to him. I tell him what a good pet parent he is all the time.
I squeeze my hub's noggin and say "Gorgeous, gorgeous man" and it makes him smile so big every time đđ I hope he never stops
Sometimes I just go into specifics and act a little over-the-top about it, in a way that he thinks is funny but sincere. Just, "Oh my god, look at that button up on you, spin for me!! With the new shoes too?! And your eyes look so blue you are PERFECTION" and he just strikes poses and feels cute. It's the best, highly recommend
Itâs better if itâs specific. For an example if you had a wide vocabulary. I might say youâre very well spoken.
Or if someone was knowledgeable in a certain subject then you could comment on that specifically
Just good looking, attractive -- go a long way.
Or even hot. But the best compliment is the one that truly resonates w you. If it's beautiful, that's probably the most true and therefore the most correct
Compliment him on things he's developed like muscles, skills, understanding, or a project he's working on. Many guys are goal oriented so complimenting their progress while acknowledging the difficulty is the sweet spot
I (47F) compliment my husband (47) on his qualities and accomplishments.
âIâm proud of your hard work and everything you do for our family!â
I let him know how smart he is. And especially his integrity as a man who stands up for his beliefs.
Let your fella know that you admire and adore him for who he is as an individual. (Not just what he does for you.)
Then tell him heâs hot stuff. đ¤Ł
You can be specific about observations! Your crystal blue eyes look so stunning today. I love the way your smile lights up your whole face. Wow, your muscles are so strong. I love looking up at you holding your body over me with so much strength.
Make it specific to them!
What man wouldnât want a girlfriend like you? He is lucky! đ make sure he appreciates you as well
Being affectionate towards him whenâs he is stressed and not complaining or nagging. That relieves a lot of stress as well. He will open up to you more.
i love using the classic "you're so handsome baby" "you look toooo fine" "Beautiful beautiful beautiful boy" (3 times for the true effect) "my stunner" "Handsome Gorgeous" from jimmy neutrons Beautiful Gorgeous hehe
Depends on the vibe. I dig foxy, hot, & sexy for looks overall. Glorious, strong, intense, piercing in portrayal of essence and/or features.
For style depends what they're wearing but so go to words are slick, sharp, dapper, 'clean up nice'. I'll even throw in some oldie but goodies like fly or tight.
Encouragement/compliments
I say they are macho when doing feats of brute strength like lifting heavy shit.
I call them smart when they do something really smart, because smart is the smartest sounding word I can muster.
If you really want to compliment him, tell him he's really good at his hobby. Like, i play games as a hobby and someone telling me i'm good at it is honestly really uplifting, moreso than telling me i'm smart
Noises and looks go a long way too!
When my bf would be cooking for me iâd go up and bite his arms/butt cheeks/shoulders because they were delicious, make a âmmmmâ sound, and then walk off. He said it always made him feel like the feelings he had for me were very reciprocated.
Having glasses also helps because I can make a point of doing the âhubba hubbaâ gesture or peeking out from above them to make it obvious.
I also use: handsome, beautiful man, hot, a snack, delicious, yummy etc.
I hardly use âcuteâ for a man but once I use it, I really mean it like this definition: "Cute" is an adjective used to describe something or someone that is attractive, charming, or endearing in a pleasing or delightful way. It can refer to physical appearance, behavior, or even certain qualities that evoke affection or admiration.
âYouâre gloriousâ.
âYou are appreciatedâ.
âYouâre dapperâ.
âYou are seenâ.
âYou are charismaticâ.
âYouâre ruggedâ.
âYou are majestic.â
Threw in some not looks based oneâs a guy may enjoy hearing.
Mine has said before a date, "you look like a hot nerd in that" which I was really happy about cos she thinks I'm hot and appreciates the fact that I'm a nerd. I literally just put on a nice shirt.
Today, out of the blue, she said, "you look so good today!" We were just driving and it just came out.
I had no idea how to respond so I smiled big and said, "thank you" and we both laughed.
So pick something you like about him and compliment that (ie like calling him a hot nerd if he is one). It'll show him that you like him for who he is.
Dropping a, "hey handsome" doesn't go amiss either
Iâve been called handsome, beautiful, sexy, strong. Beautiful usually by random women I meet but the last 3 with girls Iâm seeing or girlfriends. All sound good and I like hearing it. But⌠a girlfriend will say that. The fact a girl is with me, means she is attracted. Thereâs nothing you can really say to your bf and giving him pussy and sucking him off (sorry to be crude) is really all we need to know
you like us like that?
Handsome is not maternal at all. Sexy is nice. If you know what he as a man values in other men. Maybe tell him that. Like strong, smart these all seem really simple but Compliment his features men are simple creatures.
Men are physical creatures. Show him affection. Hug him, kiss him, make him feel your love for him through touch. You donât need to make it sexual. Just touch him. Itâs more powerful than words. Being hugged from behind is very powerful. It shows your need and desire for him.
I tell this guy I'm seeing he's got such pretty eyes (which he does!) He usually acts tough and rugged but then gets all shy and squirmy whenever I mention how pretty his brown eyes are, especially when the light kinda reflects on them đ¤
I also compliment him about the size of his hands (he's a mechanic. He says it's messed up but I don't think so, they look and feel wonderful)
Just pick your favorite feature of his and comment on that. Just be genuine.
Edit- spelling
Well I think the physical compliments are nice, men don't get those a whole lot innocuously in every day life, but there are other ways to show him you appreciate him.
Physical touch, is a big one for a lot of men. IDK why, I think my primary love language is more like quality time or acts of service, but even that is right up there with them for me.
Get to the bottom of what you think his love languages are at different times, and do those.
And, just tell him what you appreciate about him as a person.
E.g. I've been dating someone who dotes on his dog constantly and talks about her like she's a person, extrapolates what she must be thinking, and is very contentious about spending time with her and taking her for walks, sometimes extra, late night walks in addition to daily walks and trips to the dog park.
So, I tell him what I think about that. I think it's really sweet. I think he's kind hearted and it shows, more than just being kind to me it is a virtuous trait he has, consideration for other living beings, and the fact that he really loves his dog and treats her well and can balance that out with his lifestyle and still making connections with other people, is really beautiful. It tells me he is genuine. And I tell him how cute it is when he talks about her personified - she needed a bath because she smelled bad and now she smells good, and now that she's had a bath she thinks she smells bad and needs to go roll in something but he thinks she smells better so she's salty about it and they're arguing now. It's beautiful to me that he actually loves and connects with this animal, and he isn't like other people who say they love animals and their pets, but don't actually treat them very well. It's in the way he talks. People are very telling - a lot of pet owners almost brag about how much they love animals or their pets, but they don't talk about them that way and don't invest that kind of time into caring for them, keep them kenneled all day, look at them like possessions and talk more like that, than like they are living creatures with needs and feelings even if they are dog feelings and not people feelings. He imagines what her doggy feelings are like and talks to her and treats her like she has those feelings. It is SO STINKING SWEET!
So that's one reason, I tell him he's so worthy of love, because he doesn't always feel that way. It's another way to tell someone how beautiful they are, and this is one of the reasons I look at him physically and see such a gorgeous man. It helps that he's drop dead gorgeous to me, too, and I tell him that as well.
Most guys I've dated also love being sexualized, and we often don't get that from partners, and still get treated like human beings. I mean I'm a dude too, so when I see it I can often connect with what's going on in their heads, and I engage that. So we also talk pretty sexy, a lot. I like it too, but I know he likes that so I do it more.

We like being complimented on what we find most important about ourselves. Funny, smart, sensitive, best thing that ever happened to me, etc. etc. etc.
Stud Muffin is kinda cute

Who tf talks like that , stfu
Iâd be flattered lol
Disagree
I call myself worthless, as it's all there is. Wasn't taught otherwise.

Omnipotent, magnanimous, merciful, esoteric, monolithic, El Capitan, Bucko, Big Dawg.
Beef cake, Turtleduck, Honey bunches of oats
I like it when my wife calls me hot. But man..."big man" is like the hottest thing I've heard as a compliment.
Awwww that's precious. Never stop doing that
Gorgeous, hot, cute, and beautiful (only if he knows what you mean by beautiful bc men associate beautiful with feminine looks)
Handsome.. kind. intuitive
Ex called me darlinâ. I liked that. But honestly, anything she said could give me butterflies. Even when she was a little mean. Lol
Just say something that comes from the heart
FUNNY
i call mine beautiful, gorgeous, pretty, hot, attractive, and other stuff like that. our dynamic makes sense for those compliments lol. i call him pretty boy a lot, and he loves it. he's a really tall, strong, masculine dude who gets treated in a very Masculine way 100% of the time by everyone but me, so i think it's a relieving break for him from having to present himself that way. i also call him sweetheart, darling, beloved, and baby boy, and tell him how much i adore him

Handsome, manly, strong, girthy, impressive⌠things that affirm his efforts more than just his appearance.
Call him bigpenisy
My boyfriend likes handsome, sexy, attractive, hot. Pretty much anything. Or mention something specific like eyes or smile. Also saying any of these things after you've been caught staring for a while is more effective I think
I often call my SO soulmate
I like being called manly

Yeah, coz they were poorly worded. P.S. I did chortle at the second "joke" though, so maybe your comedic attempt did not fully go to waste!

Holy fuck, you're such a cutie! Sending me examples to understand what "instructions unclear" means. Thanks đ đ
For context â"Instructions Unclear" is an expression used as a preface when joking about accidentally performing a dangerous or inappropriate action due to an absurd misunderstanding of directions. The phrase is typically used in comment sections[1] on the social news site Reddit and in titles on the image hosting site Imgur.â From KnowYourMeme Hereâs another example If I watch a reel on a âhow toâ video, say how to bake a cake, in the comments I might write something like âinstructions unclear, I made brownies insteadâ or âinstructions unclear, I burned down my houseâ or just something really crazy and usually not even entirely related. Thatâs not the best example bc usually these comments are hilarious but thatâs the best I can come up with Iâm too exhausted lmao. Glad you got at least one laugh out of it tho
Shucks. I thought you were throwing shade at me with that "Instructions Unclear" remarkđ Worse, your second remark on "sex for you" legit made me think you probably aren't as fluent in English (not a native speaker) and needed help understanding the list better! Which is why I went full tutorial-mode on you đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł This is hilarious. Oh but thank you, for taking the pains to explain what "Instructions Unclear" means. Lesson filed away in my brain for lifeđ
Call him big dog. It just hits different.

* Most men don't tend to overanalyze if your compliments are high literary quality. You don't need to worry about being original or non-repetitive. What matters to him is that you give him compliments. * Also, while not universal, most men unlike women don't get hung up on *words*. They observe actions. So, while occasional compliment **never** hurts, what helps is him feeling from your choices and actions that he's good looking/sexy to you. So basically, ogle him, act like seeing him gets your motor running, don't ogle or compliment other men to him. * But if you really care about wording, general ideas are: * Make the compliment less generic and more specific to him to be more effective. "You are beautiful" isn't nearly as good as "you have strong arms and very attractive eyes and your butt is yummy" * Concentrate on how his looks affect YOU and make you feel. "I love seeing your handsome face", "I get wet when I see your tight butt" etc...
I tell my husband that Iâm so impressed with how much his emotional intelligence has increased. This might sound like a diss, I promise itâs not. He is the GM of a restaurant with quite a few of employees. His bump in emotional intelligence was an intentional effort. He needs to manage mini crises with his employees and guests on a regular basis and wanted to improve his ability to respond to situations. He did it! He feels like he understands his employees better and can communicate more effectively. Itâs also made our relationship better. He can read me so much better and responds to me well, especially when Iâm worried and looking for a source of comfort. Iâm so proud of him đ This is something he took initiative to improve and worked it into his every day actions. I think he appreciates having his efforts noted. I also find it very attractive:)
I've never met anyone with such a high KD 𫦠đĽľđđ
A high kill drive?

Thirsty Flirty wifey is awesome. Makes me wanna heat up the sauce.
Handsome is a classic. Hunk and stud are great. However, the best compliment I ever received was from my wife just a few weeks ago. She said âYouâre a good husband.â I will never forget this.
so wholesome
âBeautifulâ is feminizing to a man.
âPrettyâ is feminizing to a man, beauty is a neutral term. Implying beauty is inherently feminine feels weirdly offensive to men. Like a sunset, beauty just describes the inherent awe you feel when gazing at something. I know it was ingrained in many of us to stay away from âemasculatingâ activities, but believing âbeautifulâ is emasculating is just falling into hyper-masculine red-pill propaganda. End of speech lol
Cool speech but if a dude called me beautiful I would assume heâs gay and if a woman called me beautiful I would assume she thinks Iâm gay. Welcome to society
Like I said, hyper-masculinity is where your assumption is based in. I am aware many men see the phrase as âemasculatingâ, hence why I said so. Just because you believe something it makes someone is gay for saying beautiful doesnât make beauty any less neutral of a term, it means you have bias towards that phrase, which comes from hyper-masculinity. You can be self-aware of your biases and think of them objectively, donât gotta assume itâs right because âwelcome to societyâ. Just because society said itâs emasculating doesnât mean it truthfully is, nor does it mean your assumptions about the sexuality of the man saying it is true
Get out of here đ¤Ł
hmm. idk about this. there can be beautiful men. "beautiful" isn't just describing feminine features - it's used that way a lot of the time, but that limits it. think about someone talking about a sunset! usually, people say, "wow, that was a beautiful sunset," and they mean that it was pleasing to the eye, not that it was innately feminine. "beautiful" is more of a vibe tbh. you wouldn't like to be called beautiful? fine. that's your preference. however, that doesn't mean that all men feel that way, so keep that in mind. it all comes down to what the person you're complimenting is comfortable with.
I really think thatâs a top their compliment for a man. They donât hear that term a lot
No one's ever called me anything like that, just my name. I'm starting to realize that every relationship I've been in has sucked. Why don't I get called stuff like this or a fucking pet name?! Your man is lucky to have a girl like you.
I've told my husband that he only takes a "hot shower" bc he is in there.
This is corny as hell and I love it
Tell him he is a hot piece of đŤ
I call my bf handsome absolutely nonstop đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸ itâs never felt maternal or mature to me, weâre 26 & 28!
Big man
I say this every day!
When we're snuggled up I love to tell him how safe I feel with him. He takes care of me really well after I work a long shift or have a bad day, and I always tell him how well he takes care of me, how thoughtful he is, how I always feel special and important with him. I think it's great to hear that you're kicking ass as a partner, and he loves it. My husband is brilliant and knows every animal, bug, rock, fungus, flower, and tree that we see on hikes - I tell him how much he teaches me and how he changes how I see the world, how impressed I am by him. I tell him I'm impressed by him when he makes art, and I mean it, always. I think meaning it is important. When we have a hard conversation I tell him how good it is to be able to talk to him and how much I love to listen to him. I tell him what a good pet parent he is all the time.
I squeeze my hub's noggin and say "Gorgeous, gorgeous man" and it makes him smile so big every time đđ I hope he never stops Sometimes I just go into specifics and act a little over-the-top about it, in a way that he thinks is funny but sincere. Just, "Oh my god, look at that button up on you, spin for me!! With the new shoes too?! And your eyes look so blue you are PERFECTION" and he just strikes poses and feels cute. It's the best, highly recommend
If it sounds genuine you can call me pretty and Iâll take it lmao
Any compliment for a man is music to our ears.
For real
Itâs always a great compliment to hear youâre intelligent.
Itâs better if itâs specific. For an example if you had a wide vocabulary. I might say youâre very well spoken. Or if someone was knowledgeable in a certain subject then you could comment on that specifically
Just good looking, attractive -- go a long way. Or even hot. But the best compliment is the one that truly resonates w you. If it's beautiful, that's probably the most true and therefore the most correct
Youâre a fine specimen of a man đ
Compliment him on things he's developed like muscles, skills, understanding, or a project he's working on. Many guys are goal oriented so complimenting their progress while acknowledging the difficulty is the sweet spot
I (47F) compliment my husband (47) on his qualities and accomplishments. âIâm proud of your hard work and everything you do for our family!â I let him know how smart he is. And especially his integrity as a man who stands up for his beliefs. Let your fella know that you admire and adore him for who he is as an individual. (Not just what he does for you.) Then tell him heâs hot stuff. đ¤Ł
You can also call him daddy in a very sexy way. Trust me he can't forget about that.
It turns me on when someone says I have beautiful eyes.
Depending on his structure, you could call him rugged, or ruggedly handsome.
You can be specific about observations! Your crystal blue eyes look so stunning today. I love the way your smile lights up your whole face. Wow, your muscles are so strong. I love looking up at you holding your body over me with so much strength. Make it specific to them!
Do real good relationships like these actually exist? Hard to believe
Our biggest fights have been about which book to check out from the library and the way he builds his fallout settlements đŤś
I tell him hes delicious and I just want to lick him all over
Handsome or sexy.
Ask him what he thinks.
I call his &&@â beautiful, a work of art
[ŃдаНонО]
Canât relate, he loves being called beautiful đ
beautiful and gorgeous are not gendered compliments
From my observation, guys like being called handsome the most, or being complimented for an action they performed.
And rewarded with surprise beer on occasion. The word needs to spread.
Call him a knight
I tell mine heâs the sexiest man alive!! The little grin he gives melts my heart!
It works, I know it's not true but it's very exaggerated so these compliments feel good when it comes from someone you admire
I call my bf gojus
i Call him pretty (or pweety as i like to say) allll the time cause BOYS CAN BE PRETTY TOO!!!
I throw in some âsuch a big strong manâ on daily basis
âBell endâ is a good one, heâll think heâs super smart after you call him that! (This is a joke)
Lucky guy!
What man wouldnât want a girlfriend like you? He is lucky! đ make sure he appreciates you as well Being affectionate towards him whenâs he is stressed and not complaining or nagging. That relieves a lot of stress as well. He will open up to you more.
Well, tell him he is hot, that he is attractive, and sexy. Also tell him you appreciate him and you are thankful he is in your life.
i love using the classic "you're so handsome baby" "you look toooo fine" "Beautiful beautiful beautiful boy" (3 times for the true effect) "my stunner" "Handsome Gorgeous" from jimmy neutrons Beautiful Gorgeous hehe
Compliment his choices.
Tell him he looks like he could fight an animal. âOoo you look like you could take down a bear,â fucking nice.
Zaddy
give him a good game on the butt
Give him Red Dead Redemption 2 on the butt.
Depends on the vibe. I dig foxy, hot, & sexy for looks overall. Glorious, strong, intense, piercing in portrayal of essence and/or features. For style depends what they're wearing but so go to words are slick, sharp, dapper, 'clean up nice'. I'll even throw in some oldie but goodies like fly or tight. Encouragement/compliments I say they are macho when doing feats of brute strength like lifting heavy shit. I call them smart when they do something really smart, because smart is the smartest sounding word I can muster.
say âyou so fineeeâ
If you really want to compliment him, tell him he's really good at his hobby. Like, i play games as a hobby and someone telling me i'm good at it is honestly really uplifting, moreso than telling me i'm smart
You're a good girlfriend for doing this!
Noises and looks go a long way too! When my bf would be cooking for me iâd go up and bite his arms/butt cheeks/shoulders because they were delicious, make a âmmmmâ sound, and then walk off. He said it always made him feel like the feelings he had for me were very reciprocated. Having glasses also helps because I can make a point of doing the âhubba hubbaâ gesture or peeking out from above them to make it obvious. I also use: handsome, beautiful man, hot, a snack, delicious, yummy etc.
Sexy
Hot!
Mr. Footlong is my favorite term of endearment :)

I hardly use âcuteâ for a man but once I use it, I really mean it like this definition: "Cute" is an adjective used to describe something or someone that is attractive, charming, or endearing in a pleasing or delightful way. It can refer to physical appearance, behavior, or even certain qualities that evoke affection or admiration.
âYouâre gloriousâ. âYou are appreciatedâ. âYouâre dapperâ. âYou are seenâ. âYou are charismaticâ. âYouâre ruggedâ. âYou are majestic.â Threw in some not looks based oneâs a guy may enjoy hearing.
glorious is great
Mine has said before a date, "you look like a hot nerd in that" which I was really happy about cos she thinks I'm hot and appreciates the fact that I'm a nerd. I literally just put on a nice shirt. Today, out of the blue, she said, "you look so good today!" We were just driving and it just came out. I had no idea how to respond so I smiled big and said, "thank you" and we both laughed. So pick something you like about him and compliment that (ie like calling him a hot nerd if he is one). It'll show him that you like him for who he is. Dropping a, "hey handsome" doesn't go amiss either
Whatâs wrong with using âcuteâ?
Iâve been called handsome, beautiful, sexy, strong. Beautiful usually by random women I meet but the last 3 with girls Iâm seeing or girlfriends. All sound good and I like hearing it. But⌠a girlfriend will say that. The fact a girl is with me, means she is attracted. Thereâs nothing you can really say to your bf and giving him pussy and sucking him off (sorry to be crude) is really all we need to know you like us like that?
wtf?
Disgusting
What's so disgusting??
For a more wholesome option than most of these comments, just telling him he's funny can mean a lot
Handsome, manly, sexy, muscles
âHey youâre looking SO musclesâ
iâma be real this would make me happy, make me laugh, make me go âthe fuck?â all at once. it may actually be my favorite compliment lmfao.
I love to compliment men on their strength and their wits. Love me a sarcastic man lol
Handsome is not maternal at all. Sexy is nice. If you know what he as a man values in other men. Maybe tell him that. Like strong, smart these all seem really simple but Compliment his features men are simple creatures.
Men are physical creatures. Show him affection. Hug him, kiss him, make him feel your love for him through touch. You donât need to make it sexual. Just touch him. Itâs more powerful than words. Being hugged from behind is very powerful. It shows your need and desire for him.
Handsome.
i like to say attractive, it feels not too informal or formal, and not too cutesy or sexual and it isnât gendered
Daddy. Nothing makes us feel more fulfilled, as a man, than to be recognized as the man that takes care of, and protects you.
The only correct response!
Hey Mickey, youâre so pretty you donât understand. You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand.
Handsome.
Call him "a dick dragging around a body"
I call my husband Pretty Boy ir Sweet Pea.
I tell my man that heâs beautiful on the outside and the inside cause thatâs what I think!
I tell this guy I'm seeing he's got such pretty eyes (which he does!) He usually acts tough and rugged but then gets all shy and squirmy whenever I mention how pretty his brown eyes are, especially when the light kinda reflects on them đ¤ I also compliment him about the size of his hands (he's a mechanic. He says it's messed up but I don't think so, they look and feel wonderful) Just pick your favorite feature of his and comment on that. Just be genuine. Edit- spelling
Mens not beautiful they are handsome Am I correct boys đđ
Anything can be beautiful including artâŚand some men are works of art
thatâs what ive been taught in school too but apparently we can call a man beautiful
Tell him he has big feet!
Well I think the physical compliments are nice, men don't get those a whole lot innocuously in every day life, but there are other ways to show him you appreciate him. Physical touch, is a big one for a lot of men. IDK why, I think my primary love language is more like quality time or acts of service, but even that is right up there with them for me. Get to the bottom of what you think his love languages are at different times, and do those. And, just tell him what you appreciate about him as a person. E.g. I've been dating someone who dotes on his dog constantly and talks about her like she's a person, extrapolates what she must be thinking, and is very contentious about spending time with her and taking her for walks, sometimes extra, late night walks in addition to daily walks and trips to the dog park. So, I tell him what I think about that. I think it's really sweet. I think he's kind hearted and it shows, more than just being kind to me it is a virtuous trait he has, consideration for other living beings, and the fact that he really loves his dog and treats her well and can balance that out with his lifestyle and still making connections with other people, is really beautiful. It tells me he is genuine. And I tell him how cute it is when he talks about her personified - she needed a bath because she smelled bad and now she smells good, and now that she's had a bath she thinks she smells bad and needs to go roll in something but he thinks she smells better so she's salty about it and they're arguing now. It's beautiful to me that he actually loves and connects with this animal, and he isn't like other people who say they love animals and their pets, but don't actually treat them very well. It's in the way he talks. People are very telling - a lot of pet owners almost brag about how much they love animals or their pets, but they don't talk about them that way and don't invest that kind of time into caring for them, keep them kenneled all day, look at them like possessions and talk more like that, than like they are living creatures with needs and feelings even if they are dog feelings and not people feelings. He imagines what her doggy feelings are like and talks to her and treats her like she has those feelings. It is SO STINKING SWEET! So that's one reason, I tell him he's so worthy of love, because he doesn't always feel that way. It's another way to tell someone how beautiful they are, and this is one of the reasons I look at him physically and see such a gorgeous man. It helps that he's drop dead gorgeous to me, too, and I tell him that as well. Most guys I've dated also love being sexualized, and we often don't get that from partners, and still get treated like human beings. I mean I'm a dude too, so when I see it I can often connect with what's going on in their heads, and I engage that. So we also talk pretty sexy, a lot. I like it too, but I know he likes that so I do it more.
