i read in a book, men love to be priased and told that they are perfect enough, or just the best on the planet, and i kind of try to do that with the guy i'am very much fond of well i guess i try to boost his confidence but i dont know if he really buys what i say, i mean do men need this admiration? and if you keep on flattering them, would it always lead to good things?

If you are with a man who is so insecure that you have to sacrifice your own self pride and respect, then you need to re-evaluate your choices in men. Personally, I prefer an actual "man" as opposed to a sissy.
Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't give your man ample amts. of love and praise, but keep it within reason.

Maybe not always, but I have discovered that as a general rule men are suckers for flattery. Most of the guys I've dated think they are god's gift to the female race by the time we've stopped dating. And I usually don't tell them otherwise--it's the next girl's problem to undo the false self-image. It can be fun to toy with a guy's head/mind though and I enjoy watching a guy's confidence grow. It seems silly that constantly telling a guy that he is terrific, handsome, drop dead gorgeous, or whatever could have such an effect--but it does. I can see that the outcome of the flattering may not always be good though.

Its no different for a guy than it is a girl. A girl loves compliments too, but if you are always saying them it doesn't seem genuine and you stop believing it. You just need to say it when it counts. If you can tell he really tried to look nice and smell good for you on a date let him know, just like he would let you know. If he looks upset about something or isn't sure about himself tell him something nice, but we don't want to hear it all the time. I love my girl, but i don't over do it. If im in a restaurant and i see her looking at some girl and has a look of jealousy in her eye i will look at her in her eyes kiss her and tell her how beautiful she is. Or if we are in the mall i might just grab her hand and hold her close to me, especially if we happen to run into one of my ex's, but if we run into one of hers i won't i let her do it, im not worried. Just do it at the right times i guess, its not important you just want to know once in a while that the girl really loves you and likes you it doesn't have to be sex to show us that either.

Compliments are great but don't lie to him. As long as what u say is genuine it will lead to good things. I've found it to be true with my bf.

Compliments are always nice. But I know how good I am and anything someone else says wont change my view on myself.

They like it but it is sometimes good to tell them to make them feel good just like girls liked to be told that kind of stuff

We need it from our woman. You can't act it out though.
A man wants his woman to stand by his side and make him feel like hes got a great woman.

Yes, they need praise like we need affection. They like to have their ego pumped to make them feel like they are the best at whatever they are doing.

I don't need constant flattery; I'd personally find undeserved flattery pretentious and unneccessary.
