Women love compliments. Any woman who says compliments mean nothing to her is lying. Even women who react coldly when they receive a compliment love compliments. But whether a woman receives your compliment well depends on what you say to her and even more importantly: how you say it.
Sincere and honest
Having a list of sweet compliments in your arsenal is invaluable. Especially if you don’t naturally give many compliments, the compliments you do give are even more valuable. But beware, not every compliment is appreciated. Women are critical and notice when you give rehearsed compliments. So only use compliments that you sincerely mean and that fit the situation.
Do you want to make her feel good, but you don’t know what to say? Could you use some inspiration to give her a super sweet and sincere compliment? These are 119 compliments for women to melt her heart.

9 tips for better compliments
Complimenting a woman is not easy. In fact, it can sometimes feel like a minefield. Avoiding sensitive topics, not coming across as a creepy type and sounding sincere at the same time: it’s tricky . But despite all the obstacles, it is worth giving her that compliment. With these tips we will tell you how to give better compliments to women.
1. Avoid the wrong compliments
Despite all good intentions, some compliments can be a veiled insult. For example, never play the sexism card by saying she’s “pretty good for a woman.” In the distant past that was seen as a compliment, but not anymore. Saying she is better than her fellow women now will only insult her.
When we talk about the wrong compliments, we should also avoid all age-related compliments. Saying that she ‘still looks young for her age’ is not a compliment for her. Rather, it gives her confirmation that she has gotten old, especially when she discovered a new wrinkle on her face earlier that week.
Have you ever received a compliment that made you feel worse instead of better? Another example of the wrong compliments men give are not even really compliments. An example?
“I like that you don’t dress as slutty as your friends.”
Saying that all her friends dress slutty is the most typical form of this compliment. In fact, you are being insulted in the form of a compliment. And there are many more examples of things that men should not say. Like these sentences:
- Don’t tell her she’s ‘different’ from other girls.
- Never say that you ‘don’t normally like [brunettes/tall women/white]’.
- Don’t compliment her body shape.
- Don’t end the compliment with “today” or “tonight.”
- Never put ‘for someone who’ in a compliment.
- Never ask if something is ‘real’.

2. Compliment like a tailor
The most beautiful compliments feel as if they were tailor-made. Generic compliments that can apply to everyone, such as ‘you have a nice smile’ or ‘your hair is beautiful’ often seem superficial. If you want your compliment to be well received, do it like a tailor: tailor it to the person receiving it.
A unique compliment shows her that you have made an effort to get to know her and that you know exactly what suits her. Look for meaningful things that casual observers or casual acquaintances don’t notice.
3. Make it personal
Never underestimate how a compliment can brighten her day. But this especially applies to compliments that are super personal, or seem so. So try to think beyond common adjectives – such as ‘nice’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘good’ – to make the compliment more authentic. Why? Because less used adjectives make a trivial compliment personal.
- Change ‘You’re so good at that!’ to ‘You have a hidden talent!’.
- Change ‘Your hair looks good!’ to ‘Your hair looks so soft and shiny!’.
- Change ‘Nice bag!’ to ‘Your new bag perfectly matches your elegant personality!’.

4. Do it for nothing
Think back to the last compliment you gave. Why did you give the compliment? Was it because you were really impressed? Or did you give the compliment to benefit yourself? If you did it to put yourself in a better light, here’s what you need to know before you compliment her: women can see through that.
Women know very well whether a compliment is sincere or not. After all, you are not the first man or boy to say something nice to her and you will not be the last. And so it is possible that you are putting yourself in a bad light when you give a compliment, unless it is done in vain – for free, and without expecting anything in return.
5. Don’t give multiple compliments
Of course, everyone likes a compliment. But we don’t like it when we receive multiple compliments in a row. The more compliments you give, the more the value of each compliment is diminished. So don’t overdo it, because this just comes across as desperate.
6. Be sincere
It may seem like a no-brainer, but you don’t want to know how many compliments are given that are not sincere. When you give her a compliment, only give it when you really mean it. Fake compliments are perhaps the worst form of compliments, because they sound like they are mandatory. And if she gets the feeling that it is a fake compliment, then that is a real turn-off.

7. Don’t be too literal
According to a 2017 study by researchers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology in China, women are more likely to respond positively to metaphorical compliments than to literal compliments. According to the research, poetic, thoughtful comments such as ‘Your eyes are a beautiful rainbow’ work better than a literal compliment such as ‘You have colorful eyes’.
8. Use the power of intonation
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you say, but how you say it. Just imagine two people saying “You’re beautiful” to you. One person says it between their nose and lips with a bored facial expression and a low tone. The other makes no secret of it and almost sings it in a high tone: “You are prrrrr-like!”. Which compliment would seem most genuine to you? And which of the two would you prefer to get? It’s exactly the same sentence, but both sentences ‘say’ something different.
9. Use these steps
If you have little experience in giving compliments, it can be quite difficult to start. When do you give the compliment? And what do you say after the compliment? If you want to compliment her, follow these steps:
- Give the compliment: “I think it’s admirable how businesslike you can be.”
- Share the why: “Not many people can switch that quickly.”
- Ask a follow-up question: “How do you do that?”
