Flattery is always false, I can say that flattery is a false or deceptive praise given because of the recipient's need to be praised. A compliment on the other hand is genuine appreciation for something, person or action. |

it annoys me when I compliment a girl truly and she calls it a flatter. Nowadays I make sure you earn it before I say it. |

“The difference between a compliment and flattery is often motive. A compliment offers genuine appreciation for a quality or action seen in another person. The goal of flattery is usually self-advancement through gaining the favor of someone else. Compliments seek to encourage; flattery attempts to manipulate.” You are gorgeously dressed=complement you are looking good more pretty than beyonce=flatter 2 Likes 1 Share |

Flattering is an over stated truth uttered with a sugar coated tongue for the sole purpose of gaining someone's attention. It usually involves an interior motives. Compliment Is a direct statement of fact without sugar coated tongue |

When I flatter you, it keeps you wondering whether you're all that. When I compliment you sincerely, you just know it's true. |

Wetin concern me to with the difference. When I suspect someone wants to feel good about themselves and needs some assessment (which most time they want it to be positive) of their attire or looks, I give a proper dose of it. |

The dichotomy between flattery and compliment is not quite ambiguous.. When a man say fine words on some young woman profile, sooner or later she will tender herself as a fee, an ample reward for your labour.. Flattery is a blank cheque you give a woman, it gives her the ample opportunity to write whatever she deem fit... |

Flattery is an excessive and insincere praise, given especially to further one's own interests. Compliment is a formal act of civility, courtesy, or respect. Flattery is usually laced with lies; compliment is genuine. |
