I'm not sure what you mean by weak. Compliments are something I have a hard time hearing. When someone pays me a compliment, I always have the instinct to say something that negates it. I've learned to just shut up, smile and say Thank You. It's easier for me to pay someone else a compliment than to receive one, under most circumstances.

I see a trend from the last question I answered from you! Women aren't weak to compliments, just some women; just as some men are weak to praise.

Never weak... to strong willed for these BS.
Prefer compliments on thoughts, actions that have contributed to humanity... at least I know the message is being put across that someone actually take notice... may be another will learn and contribute to the main cause!
Means to an end!

The idea that being impressed or pleased to be subject to a little human kindness makes me "weak" is rather male, don't you think? I disagree with the assumption that it is better to be unmoved by a compliment.
Woman tend to be slightly more aware of, and interested in, what people think of them. This is because, for the last 2.3 million years, they have had periods in their lives when their survival depended party on their good relations with others. This doesn't make them "weak", unless they're being "played", now does it?

I am NOT weak to compliments.
I like 'm, if they are sincere. So does anybody, men and women. But weak? Nope!
Not only are you making a generalization, it's also a stupid one.
Are you perhaps one of those persons who tries to manipulate people with compliments? In that case, you probably pick out those women who are insecure about themselves.
I am a woman, and if I would do the same with insecure men, then I get the same result.

I don't take compliments well and will tend to ignore them. They do not make me weak. Generalizations need to go.

It goes like this, since women are more prone to communication a compliment is something that they use as a status enhancer and or ego feeder. Now this enhancer can be either negitive or it can be positive; the negitive will deflate the ego and the positive will inflate the ego.

If they are from men then most of the time we assume 2 things: 1) you want some thing, (sex, do the dishes, money, ect) or 2) your guilty of something and trying desprately to appease us before we find out so our wrath will be softer.
Sorry, but its been my experience after being married for 2 years and being in a relationship for 7 that those are the only options!!!

Says who? We like getting compliments. We may have varying definitions of the word, but we still like it.
