If you say 'looking healthy', she hears
'fat'. Not happening. Here are avoidable
compliment errors guys tend to make
Can anyone go wrong when complimenting
a woman? No, right? But relationship
counsellors warn, more often than not,
women don't hear what you intend to tell
them, or hope to convey. They become
both, sensitive and speculative. Here are
common compliments that tend to
backfire.
(1)Looking young
Most women spend their entire teenage
lives putting on makeup and buying
clothes that made them look older. But
when they finally hit their 20s, they like
to dress young and so, want to hear just
that. But when you actually tell your 20-
something-girlfriend, 'looking young', she
thinks you are referring to her small
bust size. No woman wants to hear that
her bosom reminds you of the size
befitting a 14-year-old. Be careful with
the words there.
(2)You look pretty when you smile
What does that mean, she wonders. Does
this mean she isn't otherwise? Besides,
who walks around with a permanent grin
24/7. Being told to smile on command is
like being told to do a dance in front of
an audience. Women are not puppets.
Instead, their face will light up when you
actually make them laugh. So wor2 harder
on your witty quotient.
(3)I love your personality
This sounds like a wonderful compliment
to give. And your partner may probably
smile politely and thank you for your
words. But dating experts point out that
even if your woman has a dynamic
personality, or is a total geek, she may
still want to hear how gorgeous she is
and how you love her lustrous mane. So,
go ahead and tell her how her pretty face
compliments her amazing personality.
(4)You are different
Women hate to hear, 'You are not like the
other girls I have dated'. They have
spent most of their teenage years hoping
to stand out for the guy they have had a
crush on, hoping that they have that
'something special' that makes him
choose her over the rest. So while they
may initially blush, they will be quick to
realise the subtext: we are with a guy
who thinks all girls are rubbish, even if
we're apparently the exception. Not cool.
(5)You naive little one
No woman wants to hear that you think
of her as naive or innocent. Not only does
this mean you think of her as your little
sister (gulp), but the subtext is also that
she hasn't done anything that would
qualify as experience (read between the
lines). To prove you wrong, she might
spend the next few meetings bringing up
every edgy encounter she may had just
to prove you wrong.
(6)You know how to have a good
time
Even if it seems like an innocuous
comment to pass, and makes her sound
more fun and less boring, she thinks you
think that she's the one who'll be up for
endless nights of partying, watching
porn, and kinky sex, and sometimes,
'easy'. No woman wants to hear she
comes off as easy to get into bed. So,
sorry guys. Think of something better.
(7)You're too smart for a girl
Woah! That's being too chauvinistic.
Women in scientific and legal fields tend
to hear this sort of sexist comment too
often. It is the kind of stuff that a
woman with a mind should dump you for.
(Looking healthy
Of all the things, women are sensitive
about their weight. Even if your intention
is sincere and you mean well, what she
will hear is, 'you'd look better if you shed
a few kilos'. Avoid telling her she looks
healthy. Remember her ears hear, 'fat'.

You are not helping that ugly girl when you tell her looks like beyonce when she's opposite, say the trutha so she could improve on her genetic make up!!!

10) Don't tell a girl you love her cos she's beautiful, rather tell her, you want to give her all your money cos she's beautiful...
