Please state you age and then list the top 2-3 sincere compliments you prefer to hear.
By the way, does age matter in what types of compliments are welcome?

I am 43...and I do think age matters. Our sense of ourselves changes over time, and what is important to us evolves. In my 20s, I would have loved any compliments regarding my appearance or level of appeal. In my 30s, I was hellbent to prove myself...so any compliments about my mind or my accomplishments were of paramount importance. Now, at this age, I appreciate any comments that recognize or speak to what kind of person I am...kind, decent, warm, wonderful...anything like that.
As for specifics...I was once told by my husband's friend that he wanted to clone me. He said it respectfully. And truly, that made me feel great. He recognized me as being the kind of woman he would want to have in his life...and that was just about as good as it gets, I think...

Sincere Compliments

I'm in my early 30's, I have to say, for me, it's more about the person giving the compliment then the compliment itself. If a man I do not have admiration or respect for tells me I am intelligent, beautiful, or sexy, I am more apt to be disappointed then flattered. If there is already an intellectual connection and a mutual respect between us, the compliment has a lot more of an impact. If there is not some depth to the compliment, it's really just a cheesy line.

every woman likes to hear she's beautiful once in a while. But you can't just say it, the look in your eyes when you say it means a lot. That said, compliments that don't necessarily dwell on looks mean the most. I'll admit 'smart and beautiful', that was a good one too. But hearing that your sincere, or genuine, have a good heart, stuff like that means a lot.

the best compliments are those you don't have to fish for! there is also a lot of non-verbal compliments that can make a girl feel great about herself (and you!)...when people laugh at your jokes or are interested in something you are saying
i am 35 now and when i was younger liked compliments from men. now i'm a little older and wiser...

I'm 25.
1. You are a great mother (I'm a SAHM, so this is my career at the moment.)
2. I love the way your mind works
3. I need you so much / I'm so lucky to have you
I suppose #3 doesn't seem like a compliment, but I think it would tell me that a guy loves me so much, he's willing to be vulnerable.

I am 23,
I like to be told I am beautiful, but i hate being called hot and sexy is only good when I am trying to be sexy.
Personality comments are high on the list. When someone knows that I passionate about something important or that I am determined to do something, they get bonus points. Someone must listen to me to know these things.
I like when people say I can make them laugh. A sense of humor is important to me and if a guy can understand my sense of humor then they may understand me.
Age may matter, but I think there may be a variation in individuals. I like to hear that I am more than a physical being and have chosen things important in my life that i want others to notice.

Well I'm 33 and these are the compliments I get from hubby.
1) When he scoffs down his dinner I've made and he goes back for seconds.
2) When he can't keep his eyes off me, and they drift from my legs up to my face all the time.
3) When I do something for him, and his toes curl upwards ;)
Maybe it would be nice to receive verbal compliments, but I have to be content with what I get.

Remember - every woman is different.
------------------------
Me:
30 yrs old
Compliments:
1.) I enjoy our conversations.
2.) I like how you highlight the positive aspect of any given situation.
3.) The way you relate to men without being coy, manipulative or overtly-sexual is refreshing.
--------------------------------------------
Age doesn't matter because some women would rather hear compliments on the way they look and that sticks with them into their old age. It's a matter of perspective and mindset - not age.
