Men like heartfelt compliments, too. When you hear the word “compliment”, it probably makes you think of all the sweet things that men say to their significant others, am I right? Well listen up ladies: Compliments are a two-way street and as it turns out, men love and hear them, too.
And we’re not just talking about the compliments that focus on their physical features, or their uhh … horizontal talents, either.
Not that they don’t appreciate a good, “I’m still thinking about what you did to me this morning” text here and there (they asked me to make that clear.)
Read on for some pretty damn adorable answers from men on the heartfelt compliments that make them swoon when said to them by a special lady.
1. I’m proud of you.
“I love it when a girl I’m dating is genuinely interested in something I’ve accomplished, whether it’s a song I wrote or a new piece of music equipment I’m working with.” – Osito, 25
