"We are task orientated" absolutely true! we respond better with, "can you get me a blanket?" our brain process that faster than "I'm cold" statement.

I suspect a reasonable percentage of women would not know this. Good advice.

This is definitely something everyone needs to remember, that guys can be mentally ill and have body issues and insecurities the same way everyone does and it's important to accept that and give them the space they need to express that

I think everyone does this, I'm a girl and I zone out sometimes thinking about something random and then I realize I've been staring at someone all that time

This is kinda sad because it makes me feel like OP isn't getting enough hugs and everyone who wants hugs should be hugged often

Lucky you. I had my hairdresser tell me I looked like a junkie because I had let my hair grow out. Needless to say I didn't visit her again.

Taking interest in your partner's life and interests is like a basic thing about relationships and it goes both ways

I laughed at this for way too long, because I can't think of a single time I tied something down and didn't say that.

And it also smells nice. I think shampoo smells better than most of the expensive perfumes.

Throw things to us. Like the TV remote or the car keys. Or a cup of coffee. It does, however, depend on our level of trust in the t****r's tossing skill.

I feel the best compliments are about something the person has control over. Like clothing, shoes, hair, accessories, and talents- to some extant. Complimenting someone on things they have no control over, their bodies, for example, are generally not welcomed and can be seen as creepy. I imagine that it's the same for all genders.

Lol, when I compliment a boy they stare at me, then at the thing I complimented, and they are just like, wow did that just happen? No one ever does that.. but yes, they love that, like anyone else. (Why do girls get compliments more thou?)

Such a great point. Everyone wants and needs to feel appreciated, especially those things unique to ourselves. It has be sincere though, and not forced.

I'm a girl and this is irrelevant but I get complimented on my weird, funky socks all the time. I wear slides when I'm feeling lazy and sometimes knee-socks with shorts, and they all have fun weird things on them, like foxes or raccoons or eggs or leprechauns or pokemon. My boyfriend always wear normal socks though, like plain black socks, and I always say "I am in LOVE with those socks"

Aww... I actually do this a lot. Because I like how it makes me feel when someone compliments me, I always tell people when I like their xxx. I take care never to make false compliments though.

Damn it . I compliment random strangers all the time. Why? Because a compliment from a stranger makes me feel good, so I make a point of complimenting someone when it's deserved.

Why? Did you make them? I wouldn't consider it a compliment if some said they like what I'm wearing. I only bought it.

It's a comment on something that you have, not necessarily something you worked on. For example,being complimented for skin tone or various physical features that you were born with. We don't care if you had hours of plastic surgery. We just think it looks cool

Yeah. Sometimes they just happen. At very unfortunate times. As a teenager it would almost invariably happen while in church. And no, it had nothing to do with what was happening during the sermon!
