Okay, I know everyone loves to get compliments, right?

So what do you MOST want to be complimented for? And why, if you want to share that with us.

A. Your looks

B. Your mind

C. Your actions

An example of A is "You have a nice smile." or "That's a GREAT shirt!"

An example of B is "I like the way you think." or "You're pretty clever!"

An example of C is "Wow! You wrote that?" or "I didn't know you could paint!"

For my reply, I pick A. I almost EXPECT to be complimented for my mind, and don't put much thought into what I do...I simply do my best at whatever I do.

But I rarely get compliments on my appearance, so those stand out.

D- All the above....However, I think I'd rather be complimented on my mind and actions rather than my looks. Looks are (most of the time) are no fault of your own so you're not really complimenting me you're complimenting my parents for having good genes.

I get complimented a lot on my actions and looks (not bad for a big guy), and once in a while about my mind.

Im a shy person so I really dont like getting complimented on anything lol but if I had to choose one it would be getting complimented on my looks. I dont like recognition for my actions- Im more of an out the the spotlight success seeker, so my intelligence is shown everyday in what I do for my job

B. Your mind

I definitely want to complimented the MOST on my brilliant mind. Secondly, my skillful city driving... Otherwise, I do frequently get complimented on my smile, and not just by my boyfriend.

B. Mind

there are all sorts of people in the world, all amazing in their own right, but the mind of a person, turns my head big time...and in turn, I do enjoy compliments of the same.

People are amazingly incredible, each with his/her own culture, depending on how they were raised, their education, but much more, life experiences...which I find very interesting and rewarding.
