My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak,--yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress when she walks, treads on the ground;
And yet, by Heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
- Shakespeare

This is a left handed compliment if I've ever heard one. First he says she's the most beautiful woman in the world, and then qualifies it by saying out of all the women he ever dated. This brings the compliment to a nasty turn - how many girlfriends has he had, and does he compare them all in the same manner? This guy is either very clumsy or is playing.

No way of knowing what his feelings are. He simply made a statement, and we have no way of knowing if that statement was sincere.
Not trying to diss you, just trying to be honest and objective. Words are usually less sincere than actions. People often say things they don't really mean. But usually they act the way they feel. So watch this guy for awhile. Does he act in ways that suggest he has feelings for the woman in question? And if so, are his actions the type she welcomes?
Human interaction is not a simple process.

It's simple. He's simply thinking about all the girls he's dated, and out of all of them, he thinks you are the most physically attractive. He's probably being honest. My last boyfriend used to tell me that all the time, and I could tell he meant it.
As far as other feelings, well you being beautiful to him doesn't really have anything to do with anything else. Does he admire more than your beauty? Does he think that you are the kindest or most intelligent or most fascinating women in the world? Those things are separate, and if he has these type of feelings for you, he'll probably express them verbally. That's when you'll know how he really feels beyond your appearance.

"serious inquiries only".... none of us were inquiring. (Sorry, I have a habit of needing words to be used properly.) Anyway, men often say this to get into a girl's pants. They often "really mean it." They are often, "very serious." This seriousness often dissipates either immediately after sex, or several weeks later. To tell someone this before they are dating is always, always, always a line. I realize I sound old and bitter, but really, I've seen it a million times. They're not getting *me* with that one again. You, however, are probably still green. (that means 'new and inexperienced')

It suggests to me that she embodies his concept of what it means to be a beautiful person from within. So if he sees her as more beautiful than any other woman he has ever dated, it doesn't matter to him what she looks like on the outside.

A guy said that to me one time (actually he IMed it, he was too shy to say it face to face I think). I thought about that for weeks on end. I still think about it. I too didnt know what he meant or if he was genuine or not.
It could mean that out of all the "real" women he has seen (not celebritys) that you (actually me in my case) are the most beautiful. Or it could just be him trying to get you to date him. Guys seem to know the perfect things to say to get a girl to fall for them. Or it could mean that he has a crush and he will forget about you if the interest is not mutual.
I just don't know.I do know that it was the best compliment I ever got.

That he's probably really horny and that woman is better for him than a magazine..........
Any true or real "feelings" would not warrant such thoughts or words to encourage any kind of long term relationship in its beginning stages. Or it could very well indicate the man is very immature.
Then again..... all the women he's dated prior have been really ugly???

Telling a woman she is beautiful is a great compliment, sure to please. Unfortunately, by itself, it doesn't mean any more than the person who said it knows how to say the right thing.
In order to find out the true motivations of the heart, you would have to spend more time with them. They would also have to want you to know their true intentions. Remember that the heart can be incredibly deceptive - and tragically deceived.

i'd suggest that endorphin's in the brain have caused a sense of exhilaration in him. he is under the influence of a natural drug (hormone really) produced in the brain. this would typically be triggered when someone is extremely happy. therefore what the girl should consider is that at the present, this guy is really happy with her and that in his current state of mind, the girl is truly the most beautiful he has ever been with.
