Thaddeus Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Insincerity is worse then not saying anything at all. Not in agreement with the article. While I don't think brutal honesty is acceptable, don't placate me either. Be a geninue person and compliment me based on things you really do like about me.JS nailed it. Be sparing but genuine.Best way to go. Don't inundate him/her with compliments so much that they eventually become meaningless.
CaliGuy Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 LOL. Well, what are you supposed to do? Say she looks OLD and FAT? You can compliment a woman without lying to her. As for the "You, I'd sleep with you" comment. LOL. Once you tell a woman that, you're out! LOL
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I dunno, I prefer "you have an amazing round ass and awesome hips" (said by someone fairly recently in bed) to "wow, you look like a size 2!". I know full well that I am more of a "Smooth" girl than I am a "Maxim" girl when it comes to my waist to hip/butt ratio. I'd laugh any man down who told me I look "skinny". Now, the age thing I get. I don't think anyone is lying when they say I look like I'm in my late twenties instead of pushing forty. I have taken great pains to stay out of the sun, never used any harsh chemical "beauty products", and my mother was the same way. She always looked younger too. The "I'd sleep with you" part I always saw as distasteful. Can't put my finger on it, but I've been told that before and it never quite sat right. I guess because none of the people who said it actually made moves toward it. There are ways to play up the positives without lying about the negatives.
monkey00 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Little white lies every man should tell me: 1) You are the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen in person. Including when you've just woken up in the morning. 2) You're the best lay I've ever had. Your p*ssy is so tight and tastes/smells like heaven. I want to savor it all day for the rest of my life. 3) You are the wittiest and most charming woman I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. 4) You smell like an English rose garden even when you've been sweating all day. 5) You have a voice like an angel. 6) I love petite arses, and yours makes me want to penetrate it every hour of every day. 7) You're everything I've ever prayed for in a woman and never knew existed. Good thing is, every one of these things I've had some man tell me at some point in the last three years. I'm feeling pretty OK about myself today. Please don't bring me down. Lol those are good. But it wouldn't count as white lies if the guy is actually telling the truth and means it.
AlektraClementine Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I don't agree with the list. My mother passed very little down to me. But what she did pass on (invaluable and burdensome) is her lie detection skills. I am very turned off by false compliments. They serve no purpose other than to make me feel worse because you can't say what you really mean, or because you think I'm dense enough not to see through your pick-up attempts. I have never asked a man whether or not an outfit makes me look fat. I know perfectly well when I've put on an extra 10 lbs and should dress for the extra weight. My fiance has reactions I've learned to gauge very well. I know when he likes something and when he doesn't. This can even be applied in cooking. I know when he likes it because he moans and goes for 2nds and 3rds and continues to talk about it.
Birdy Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Lol those are good. But it wouldn't count as white lies if the guy is actually telling the truth and means it. Well, duh, they had to have been exaggerating at least a little.
