How to give specific compliments about a man's body?
Question Posted Thursday April 5 2012, 10:21 pm
So my boyfriend, like most men, enjoys hearing compliments from me, especially about his body. However, I'm not the best at giving compliments..I'm just really bad at saying what I think. Or, for instance I say, "I really like your stomach" or "I really like your chest/arms," he'll then ask, "why?" And that's when I don't know what to say. I know why I like them, and I don't know exactly how to be more specific about why I like his stomach/chest/etc. He gets a little hurt sometimes that I cant say why I like them, which I understand. How would you even describe what you like about them? He's in great shape, but he's not overly muscular, so if I said something along those lines I know he'd think I was lying. Any tips? Advice? Examples? Thanks in advance. I'm aware this is a bit of an odd question maybe..
The best thing you can do is to just be specific. It's difficult, because there's a thin line between being nice, and sounding erotically horny.
Just say stuff like "You look really toned" - That doesn't need explanation. Or "That t-shirt fits great: not too tight, but shows off your body well". The best thing to do is to think what to say before saying it. Like, actually think: what is it exactly? If you think about that before you say it, then you won't have the pressure of being questioned, and that will make it easier. Just run adjectives in your head.
On another point, make sure to be honest and sincere. Also, don't over-do it, as it may start to sound boring, fake, and unnecessary.
