Have you ever felt a strong desire to say something nice to a girl, to highlight a striking feature of her appearance, to admire her intelligence and skills, but you couldn’t find the right words, you were afraid of offending her or looking like a sycophant?
And instead of a pleasant compliment, you press your head into your shoulders and move the conversation to another topic, mentally scolding yourself for your indecisiveness.
Compliments are a double-edged sword.
Use them effectively and you'll stop the mindless chatter to make deeper connections.
If you use them incorrectly, you will ruin everything.
List of the best compliments to a girl about her beauty
Why praise a girl? Because it caught my eye, was memorable, seemed especially bright, and I liked it. Of course, there are certain standards, but going beyond them is always welcome. If you praise not the color of your eyes, but the dimples on your cheeks that appear when you smile, you will not cease to be a gentleman.
A compliment is a great way to open up communication and start a conversation. If you are still new to the girl’s character or are just starting a conversation, praise her appearance and you won’t go wrong. The main rule is to be sincere.
You can give a standard compliment, praising a bright feature in a girl’s appearance, or you can go in less obvious ways: praise something that is usually not noticeable and even something about which the girl may have complexes.
Let's explain with an example: everyone praises eyes, skin, figure, hair, while hands, feet, nose, teeth, posture are usually not given attention. Another original option is to give a “negative” compliment. To do this, note something good in the girl, give a dubious association and end with praise, say that you like it.
Here are two examples:
- What beautiful long nails. Most likely extensions? - Well, yes. - It still looks great.
— What an interesting pattern you have on your dress. I have a tablecloth with exactly the same one at home. I like him very much.
The last option is great for bitchy girls who are used to turning off numerous men who try to hit on them. This approach will confuse the girl and discourage her, as a result of which she will be able to start a conversation. You will seem like an unusual man to her and will interest her.
For ordinary girls, it is better to use more standard compliments about appearance, gentle and pleasant words. Just note that she looks good:
- It's amazing how gorgeous you always look.
- When you laugh, you are the most beautiful creature in the universe.
- Da Vinci thought he painted the feminine ideal, but he was wrong, simply because he didn't meet you.
- You have amazing eyes - it’s impossible to tear yourself away from them. I could watch it forever.
- It seems that I need guidelines - I'm lost in your bottomless eyes.
- You have such eyes that from one glance I forget what I wanted to say or do, and I can only admire their beauty.
- There is no word in any human language that conveys well enough how beautiful you are.
- Perfectionists need to look to you for comfort and inspiration.
- You are the epitome of perfection in this chaotic world.
- When I look at you, it’s hard for me to come to terms with the fact that Eve was once considered the standard of female beauty.
- You smiled so beautifully that I forgot where I was going.
Learning to give compliments: 8 practical tips
Let's move on to practice. Consider the following tips.
Be sincere
A compliment should be spontaneous and sincere - this is its main value. There is nothing worse than false praise given out of a sense of duty. Therefore, always say only what you think. The person will still see through your deception and begin to consider you a sycophant.
Don't give a compliment to get something from the person. Your only goal should be his positive emotions. Only in this case will your praise be sincere and appropriate.
Don't come from above
Some people give compliments as if they are honoring others. They seem to want to do something nice, but they don’t want to elevate the person above themselves. Therefore, all their words sound condescending and arrogant.
For example, like this: “I really like your painting. The composition is a little lame, but overall it’s very good.” If this is said by a person who is far from art, it’s a real disaster. You can imagine how much irritation such words will cause.
Therefore, if your inflamed pride does not allow you to recognize the success and superiority of another person in something, it is better to refrain from praise altogether.
Choose the correct wording
When giving a compliment, you should choose the wording very carefully. One wrong word - and instead of joy, you will receive annoyance in response. This is especially true for words about women's appearance.
“Today” is a prime example of such a careless word. “You look good today” - and the girl is left with the thought that on other days she doesn’t look so good.
Avoid references to race, social status and other “dangerous” aspects in your wording. Before you give a compliment, ask yourself if you would be pleased to receive it. People who lack empathy can even insult a person with praise.
Let me give you a few more examples of unsuccessful formulations.
- “For a guy, you're pretty smart.”
- “Surprisingly, I like your hair.”
- “What did you do to your face? It looks unusual."
- “Such a beautiful blouse! Where did you buy it? I want to give the same to my grandmother.”
- “Is your car still not broken down? This is very cool!"
- "Wow! You didn’t make a single mistake in the message!”
Add emotions
Emotional compliments are perceived much better than “dry” ones. People enjoy inducing positive feelings in others. At such moments you feel especially valuable and significant.
Compare which phrase causes more joy: “this dress suits you very well” or “wow, you look amazing in this dress!” I think the answer is obvious.
So don't skimp on your emotions. There is no point in artificially squeezing them out. But if you feel an emotional impulse to say nice words to a person, don’t restrain yourself.
Don't oversweet
The compliment should not be too sweet, otherwise it will look fake. Don't exaggerate your reactions, say what you feel. If you slightly like a girl, you shouldn’t say that you are ready to faint from her beauty.
Avoid superlatives. “You are the sexiest girl!” The question immediately arises - in comparison with whom? What kind of expert are you who has managed to assess the sexuality of all the girls in the world?
You should also be careful with epithets. Don't use multiple adjectives together. “Beautiful, delightful, unique...” Each subsequent epithet devalues the previous one.
Get rid of cliches
There's nothing worse than tired, stereotypical compliments. They lack spontaneity and emotion. Just as a joke repeated many times ceases to be funny, so praise used by everyone ceases to truly please.
Therefore, throw away all your homemade preparations and learn to say pleasant words from the heart. They may not sound as beautiful and poetic as templates from the Internet, but they show your sincerity and good nature.
Don't compare with yourself
Each person’s own “I” is the center of the Universe. Therefore, we constantly compare people with ourselves and draw conclusions based on this comparison. It is important to understand that this comparison means nothing to others. Unless, of course, you are a super expert in some area that is significant to a person.
Therefore, you should not formulate compliments like this: “You ski very well!” I couldn’t do that.” If a person had never skied, naturally he would not be able to do this. This addition in no way enhances the praise, but only causes irritation.
But if such a compliment is uttered by a skiing champion, its value will immediately increase 10 times. Therefore, allow yourself such additions only when you are sure that you are a recognized authority.
Know your limits
Who is more pleasant to receive a compliment from - from a person who showers them left and right, or from someone who is stingy and reserved with praise? Of course, from the second. The former's praise is taken for granted. Those around him understand that he is such a person by nature - too enthusiastic and emotional, or simply a sycophant. Therefore, they do not take his words personally.
And the second one is a completely different matter. Only something truly beautiful and interesting could make such a person give a compliment. Therefore, the value of his praise increases several times. Even clumsy and not entirely correct wording will be forgiven.
Therefore, never throw around pleasant words just like that. Let them be rare, unexpected and hit right on target. And one more rule - when in a company, do not give the same type of compliments to several people at once. Make one person happy.
How to give compliments correctly
The compliment should be sincere or seem so - praise what is truly remarkable about the girl. Make sure that the wording does not overshadow all adjectives about beauty with negative connotations:
- “You’re wearing a beautiful dress today”—other days it wasn’t beautiful.
- “This hairstyle suits you better than the previous one, cut your hair this way only” - it will be unpleasant for a girl to receive instructions.
- “I see you wanted to look more erotic” - the girl could have wanted it before. Do not show that until this day her efforts were in vain.
- “This skirt makes you look slimmer” is a hint of excess weight.
If you want to write a description of beauty in your own words, but are afraid of making a mistake with an epithet and accidentally offending a girl, use the list of common words of praise about various female traits that are definitely safe to say:
- Eyes: piercing, deep, exciting, bottomless, like mountain lakes, honey-colored, mysterious, radiant
- Look: hypnotic, mystical, mysterious, enchanting, pure, open, intoxicating, bright, gentle, bewitching
- Smile: radiant, contagious, Hollywood, radiant
- Laughter: loud, infectious, incendiary
- Figure: chiseled, fragile, slender, stately, appetizing, sexy
- Gait: light, graceful, flying, smooth, soft
- Skin: flawless, clean, soft, delicate, velvety
Warnings5
When trying to give a compliment, the main thing is not to overdo it. Excessive praise will create an awkward situation. The girl will think that she is being bullied and may perceive the situation with sarcasm. The lady will not like it if she is interrupted during a conversation in order to say pleasant words to her. Everything has its time.
You shouldn't praise everything at once. To praise you need to choose one thing. If a woman has a beautiful handbag or ring, you can take a closer look at it, but you cannot pick it up.
An unexpected compliment works best. When a person first encountered something interesting. Such praise looks natural and will be pleasant for the girl.
To find an approach to a woman, you need to learn to give beautiful compliments and praise her more often.
How to compliment a stranger's appearance
It's easier to compliment a stranger because you're seeing her for the first time. The eye itself will catch on to a characteristic feature that you want to praise. Then it’s a matter of technique: figure out how to make a compliment cool and unusual, and not boring or cliched. A compliment from an unfamiliar guy will in any case attract the girl’s attention, but you need to frame it in a non-standard way so that the girl wants to continue the conversation, and with it the acquaintance.
Often young people give such compliments to strangers, the only reaction to which can be a facepalm. For example, it would not be a good idea to say to a girl with colored hair and clothes to match, “Girl, where did the purple rain fall on you?” Therefore, before you tell a stranger what you have in mind, try it on yourself. Read the article in which I collected the sweetest words that make girls melt.
Here are a few examples of successful compliments to unfamiliar girls:
- “Girl, you have a very regal posture. If we were in the 19th century, I would suspect you were an aristocrat.” Such a compliment will sound unusual, there is nothing offensive in it, and you will seem like an interesting person.
- “Girl, it’s completely illegal to wear a smile like that in public. I lost my course and now I don’t remember where I was going.” Even a slight reproach does not make this compliment worse, because there is more praise in it than grumbling.
- “Your appearance overshadowed the significance of my affairs today - amazing! I really thought that all the important things were behind me until I saw you.” A hint to a girl of her exclusivity is perceived positively in most cases.
- “What are you doing in our city, girl? You should decorate the streets of Barcelona - no Spanish woman will look as harmonious in Spain as you.” Emphasize a non-obvious, but specific feature. And make it bright.
- “I couldn’t help but say that your lipstick is a wonderful color. Reminds me of a ripe plum. It suits you very well, it highlights your eye color perfectly.” Don’t be shy to give a long compliment, add details to it, make it more specific, and give associations.
Why is it so important to be able to give good compliments?
Knowing how to compliment girls is really important.
1. It shows your self-confidence.
Only a brave guy can sincerely tell a girl what he likes about her, especially if it's really true.
You are in a potentially vulnerable position, but you are willing to take risks and move forward.
2. You state your intentions directly.
It's hard for guys to show interest in a girl without looking like a pervert.
A well-chosen compliment can turn a friendly conversation into a playfully sexual one.
3. You choose, not her.
If you compliment her on something that really impressed you about her, it implies that you set her apart from others.
In some ways she is better and that suits you.
4. You value her personality traits, not just the presence of a vagina.
You want to tell her about your sexual desire, but this may offend her, so take a breath and calmly evaluate her inner qualities and achievements.
Thanks to sincere compliments, the girl will try even harder to show the qualities that you like.
Remember that no woman wants to feel like she's the only one out there, even if you're in a casual relationship.
Find some peculiarity, uniqueness in her, stand out from the crowd, and she will melt.
Compliments for your girlfriend
You can be more frank with the girl you love, don’t be shy to say something completely personal and add feelings to the compliment.
- Use more emotional words than “like”: say what about her drives you crazy, makes your heart skip a beat.
- Increase the level of intimacy - these are the words a girl will remember and appreciate more than “your hair is very soft.”
Here are five examples:
- “Your beauty is mesmerizing, and I never cease to be amazed how such an attractive appearance is combined with an equally beautiful soul.” Such a compliment will kill two birds with one stone and will be doubly pleasant for the girl.
- “When you look at me, I feel like magic exists. I have nothing else to explain why my heart starts beating faster and all thoughts disappear from my head.” Describe deep feelings, alternating them with detailed sensations.
- “Your eyes are like two of the most beautiful mountain lakes I have ever seen. No place on the entire planet compares to how beautiful you are.” Be generous with metaphors and don’t be shy about exaggerating—that’s appropriate here.
- "You're the girl of my dream. Thanks to you, my life is brighter than ever, and full of the most pleasant emotions.” Talk about how the girl influences your life just by her presence.
- “I want to tell you about your beauty, but I can’t find words precise enough to describe it. And no poet can.” A great option if you don’t know what to say, but want to give a compliment.
Knowing how to give a woman short compliments is an art. Fortunately, it can be mastered.
Still from the film “The Naked Truth”
The ability to make a lady feel good with words is, perhaps, a skill no less necessary for any man than the ability to give her pleasure in bed.
Although no, let's be realistic: this verbal skill is perhaps even more important, so if you don't have it, then the chances of moving to an intimate level of relationship with a hot beauty are sharply reduced.
In addition, the scope of compliments is much wider than some people think. One problem - how and what to tell girls? When, with what frequency and intonation?
Well, it turns out there is much more than one nuance, so let's talk about them all in order.
Examples of compliments in prose
Writers throughout the history of mankind have come up with thousands of ways to express admiration for female beauty - and it would be a shame not to use them. Quote, get inspired, combine - world culture is full of amazing expressions about women’s appearance.
- Your face is beautiful, like universal harmony itself. But you managed to make everything even better here: with scarlet lipstick, you are simply unique.
- I would never have thought that someone's charms could bring so much joy. It always seemed to me that this is the worst thing that can happen to a man, but I am absolutely happy. Your stealing my heart is the best possible theft.
- In this world, anything can be replaced. But not you, not your look, not your laughter, not your very presence. You make me tremble and feel life so fully and acutely as no one and nothing could before you.
- I have never felt more sorry for the blind than at that moment when I realized that they would never see you.
- Hollywood is lucky you haven't gotten to it yet. Otherwise, all the actresses who are considered beautiful there would be left without work.
Final Thoughts
Now that you know what kind of compliment to give, and how to do it correctly, then just start putting the knowledge you have gained into practice. Think about who you like the most? Who in your life is in dire need of kindness? Walk up to this person and compliment him.
When I think back on all the times I failed to say even a few kind words, all I could do was hang my head in shame and admit that I was a selfish woman. But that was then, and now everything has changed. So the sooner we start spreading the magnificent power of a sincere compliment, the better off we will be.

Take the compatibility test
Compliment about beauty in correspondence
To say that you admire a girl, you don’t have to wait for a personal meeting. You probably communicate online or exchange SMS - compliments will be appropriate there too. Say how beautiful the girl is in a VK message or allow yourself to flirt competently.
For example, you can use the following phrases in dialogue:
- How are you doing today? - Very tired. — Blinding everyone with your shining beauty? I saw your new photo and couldn’t come to my senses for half an hour. So you’re not the only one who’s having a hard time - Oh, come on! :)
“I already said it today, but I want to repeat it again and again: you are incredibly beautiful.” When you entered the coffee shop, I thought that I was doomed to search for my jaw for a long time. She fell solemnly as soon as I saw you. - Hah, thanks! It would be a shame to leave you without teeth)
- What is the most striking event that happened to you today? “I don’t even know, nothing special seemed to happen.” I was happy about the dog of the woman I was standing with at the bus stop. A very affectionate and sweet puppy - I think his affection and mercy cannot be compared with yours. I've never met a girl so charming. I can’t stop thinking about you - Oh, wow, I didn’t think I was so special. Very nice words, thank you!
The advantages of compliments in correspondence are that they can be added at almost any time - you don’t have to wait for a good one, or look for what you especially like in a girl today. Online communication is not as close and emotional as in person, so peppering your correspondence with compliments is definitely a good idea.

Courtesies in business and at work
Even business partners or ordinary workers need to know how and what kind of compliment to give to their partners or employees. And if a manager never expresses appreciation for his employees' work, I bet his employees will feel dissatisfied and have little desire to work harder. According to many psychologists, for the brain, receiving a compliment is the same social reward as a monetary bonus.
These companies also have happier, more motivated, and more productive employees. This in turn creates a more “intimate” environment.
People who feel valued and respected are more motivated than those who feel their efforts go unnoticed. They are more involved in the work they do and more committed to their companies and organizations.
