History has proven that girls need more affirmation from others to make you feel beautiful and better about ourselves than boys. Girls tend to care more about what others think than boys. Maybe it’s because of the long history of patriarchy that has been a social norm in traditional societies but right now, the world has definitely changed…

Even boys need compliments in order to thrive in this world full of pressures and demands. Men can toughen up all they want but you girls can see beyond their cold and brooding exteriors. From time to time, they also need some flowery words and genuine compliments to affirm that they are appreciated.

Gone is the era of patriarchy, behold the modern times of equality where your boyfriends also need to hear your lovey-dovey words of endearment to brighten up their days!

How to Compliment your Boyfriend

Are you ready to start making your boyfriend feel great about themselves? Fluff his ego by following these easy steps on how to compliment your boyfriend:

1. Find a redeeming quality that you genuinely like or love about the guy.

There is a huge difference between a compliment and a flattery. Compliments need to be genuine and for it to be true, you should actually focus on what you love about your boyfriend.

You said yes, girl, so there must be tons of reasons why he’s the lucky guy. Maybe you can say something about his bravery, his gentlemanliness, or his hard work. He’d be over the moon if you make him realize you notice the little things he does for you.

Your compliments don’t have to be too deep for them to be genuine. It can be about how dazzling his eyes are, or how buff his shoulders look and feel everytime you hug. Boys like those kinds of compliments.

2. Think of the proper way and articulation on how to deliver your compliment.

You can choose between telling him on the phone or via text or in person (if it can wait). Most compliments that deliver the desired effect and elicit the desired reaction are given in person, face to face. Also make sure to use adjectives and words that perfectly describe what you’re trying to mean and tell them.

3. If you give it in person, look him in the eye.

Another totally big factor that will convince your boyfriend that you’re not toying with him is the sincerity in your eyes while you’re talking to him so don’t avoid eye contact. You’ll be giving him those butterflies in his stomach!

4. Make sure to dwell on it a bit longer.

Another thing to remember is since you’re going to bring it up out of nowhere or in connection to something you’re talking about, make sure to make a big deal out of it. Extend the topic about him once in a while. Your guy deserves to be the center of your attention!

5. Flirt a little more.

If you’re successful in making your guy feel good with your compliment, you’ll both be laughing and smiling about it a lot. Cherish and embrace the moment. You might even be rewarded with hugs and kisses. Atta girl!

Bonus: My Boyfriend Doesn’t Compliment Me 🥺

Have you ever wondered why your boyfriend doesn’t compliment you? Don’t fret, darling, maybe there’s a valid reason why! Although, that’s not always the case. Here are the possible reasons why your boyfriend doesn’t compliment you, both positive and negative reasons why.

1. Positive: Boys are not as expressive as girls.

Most of the time,girlfriends are more chatty than boyfriends. They’re sometimes shy about how they feel but it doesn’t mean they love any less. They just have other ways to show you.

2. Positive: Boys expect you to know it already.

They don’t want to tell you what you already know. That’s just how it works for serious men, they only say what they want you to know that they think you don’t know.

3. Positive: He’s complimenting you but you can’t see it!

Maybe you just aren’t listening to him enough. There are a lot of ways to compliment someone, afterall.

4. Negative: He sees your flaws.

Sometimes, all he can focus on is what you lack, rather than what you have.

5. Negative: He might be seeing someone else.

It’s the sad truth and that’s life.

6. Negative: He’s taking you for granted.

When you’ve been together long enough and it’s starting to get too comfortable and boring.

7. Negative: He’s really hard to please.

Maybe you’re dating someone who has too high standards.

8. Negative: He’s a narcissist.

He can only see himself and he prefers to be in the spotlight. Complimenting you would mean he’s accepting you’re better than him and he can’t have that.

Words can either make or break a person’s day. Complimenting your boyfriend after a hard day’s work can relieve him of some stress and pressure!

Your compliments can give him that boost of confidence he needs to get up and try again tomorrow. As his girlfriend, you need to support him and let him know how much he means to you and how much you appreciate him. Be his source of happiness, strength and solace.
