If a guy were going to ask you out, which types of compliments do you like the best? Cute? Nice rack? Sweet? Funny? Interesting? Genuine? Lots in common?

And the second part...if a guy, in a relationship were to write you a Romantical, what parts of your physical beauty do you want complimented. Tommy Gavin says Eyes, Chest and Butt. Is Tommy Gavin right?

I wouldn't mention anything about her breasts unless I am fairly certain she is dying to jump my bones.

I usually compliment her on her personality traits first then maybe her eyes, SMILE and legs.

A genuine compliment... which means it will vary depending on what her best attributes are. Consider what about her genuinely attracts you to her and compliment her on it. Does she have pretty eyes? Say so. Do you like the way she laughs? Say so. Compliments on physical appearance or personality are equally welcome but avoid comments about intimate areas like breasts or butt (especially crass comments!), that's immature, kind of sleazy and a total turn off for most women. So even if she does have a nice rack, I would not mention it (unless you're already in a comfortable and intimate relationship with her - if my husband told me I have a nice rack, I'd be pleased but I'd be offended if someone I barely knew said it to me, even when I was single). I have no idea who Tommy Gavin is.

Also, avoid coming on too strongly or trying too hard. Laying the compliment on thick will come across as fake or pathetic and possibly even creepy. She wants to know that you've noticed her, not that you've been obsessing over her.

Girls LOVE IT when all you can do is talk about and stare at their breasts!

this sounds like a man telling us what women "really want" based on what the man wants, with very little input or listening to the woman. Like the guy I dated who gave me a birthday present that he wanted for himself, that had nothing to do with my tastes; the same guy picked out a dessert for my birthday that he liked that I didn't even like, it had nothing to do with my food tastes. The person is so focused on pleasing themself they totally ignore and don't take the time or effort to find out what the other person likes, whether it is in regards to appearance of gifts or compliments or birthday cake.

i agree with UK here, the compliment that is best received is the one that is genuine, authentic, and individual to the woman, not some canned pick-up line out of a book, not some transparent expression of a guy trying to get in your pants.

so compliments like "I like how your eyes sparkle when you laugh" or "You have a wonderful laugh" or "That color looks really good on you" or "That is a lovely piece of jewelry" or "I liked hearing what you said about..." show not just that you notice her, but that you appreciate personal qualities about her.

I think that compliments that are genuinly said and felt are the best compliments. For example, I have always been told that I have a nice smile, but depending on how it is stated makes a difference on how I perceive it.

Save the private part compliments for the bedroom!

Ladies: What compliments do you like?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that I'd rule out "Nice rack!" unless you're referring to the bicycle rack on her car. On second thought I don't even think I'd even say it then because she might think you were referring to something else.
If a compliment comes across like a pickup line from a drunk in a bar it's going to fall flat on it's face. I would also recommend not drooling when you say it and try not to have shifty expression on your face.
As others have said it must be genuine and not sound like you're coming on too strong. I also think that it would be a mistake to feel like you need to look for something to compliment her on. It should be something that happens naturally or it's going to sound phony.


Note to self: I give such good advice, I need to ponder why I'm still single!
