For the Men on the board; With a question for the Women

[Bluedawg]

David Zinczenko has written a piece called 10 Compliments That Wow a Man.

To my fellow men...would they really work?

They are:

"Your arms are definitely looking bigger."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

"Wow."

"You the man."

"The kids just adore you."

"What do you think?"

"Cute feet."

"Meow."

"Impressive."

"I want you."

For the women...have you used any of these and do they work?

[JasonEvans]

I suppose it depends upon the goal of the woman. Does she want to sleep with the guy or does she want him to love her and have a long-term relationship. I am not sure those compliments do all that much in terms of the latter.

As far as the former goes, all she needs to say is "lets get out of here and go find a bed." 'Nuf said at that point.

All would work and I agree with except for "Cute feet." Men do not have cute feet. Women? Sure. But not men.

A few other compliments I can think of:

"EarlJam, you are one fantastic cook."

"I'm so glad I'm with a smart person like you, EarlJam."

"You, EarlJam, are a GOD!"

"I love the way you play the guitar and sing to me........EarlJam."

"Your knowledge of the various prototypes of WWII aircraft in the European theatre greatly exceeds the knowledge of varioius prototypes of WWII aircraft in the European theatre demonstrated by my past lovers, EarlJam."

"Oh EarlJam! I mean (gasp), Ohhhhhh! Wow. WOW!"

Well, maybe it's because we've still got 20 days until the end of our first year of marriage, but I feel like I freely say most of those things to my guy (except the kids one) at some point or another.

I will admit, I was really surprised at how pleased he was the first time I told him he had great legs.

[SouthgateWindsor]

Well I say these things to my husband because I really mean them, they're all true.
And I do think he appreciates the compliments.

[Windsor]

I've said most of them to my husband...'cute feet' would be a total lie and he would know it (sorry guys - I don't think I've ever seen a man's foot that I would call cute)

Yes, they work

[hurleyfor3]

Personally, I'm waiting to hear, "I love the way you drive, especially becuase I just got out of rehab and already picked up another DUI."

[dukestheheat]

what really works with DTH:

'hey, that kite is YOU, man'.

dth.

[rthomas]

I love it when women say, "rthomas, I want you." I hear this all the time. My problem is, I don't know how to respond, so I always say "ok".

[Rich]

Depends on why they're saying "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"! Could be good, could be bad. I've been on both sides of that one!

Even the "cute feet"?

My thoughts:

"Your arms are definitely looking bigger."
That's a maybe

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Umm, no. Never!

"Wow."
Sure

"You the man."
Ok, in a "best-friend" sort of way!

"The kids just adore you."
Nnnnooooooo

"What do you think?"
ok

"Cute feet."
Not a chance

"Meow."
"Meow"?? No. "Ppppuuurrrrr", maybe!

"Impressive."
No

"I want you."
This one would never fail. What guy would resist unless it is followed by "... to clean out the garage" or "... make me a baby"
ha ha ha

99 of 100 guys who claim to be vegetarians are actually trying to sleep with a woman who really is one.

For some reason, these two just reminded me of the end of this weeks Entourage. Do you see it? Now THAT was FUNNY!

[EarlJam]

I wonder if the writer threw "cute feet" in there as a joke. No one in their right mind, and this board confirms it, thinks that men have "cute feet."

I don't even know if I'd want cute feet. In fact, I'm quite certain I would not want cute feet.

Women can have cute feet, nice feet. Curvy feet, soft feet, toenail polish and shoes that whisper to the men, "Hey you....look at my feet."

Men don't wear such suggestive shoes - for good reason.

Can a man have nice feet? Oh, I suppose. I like to think that my feet are somewhat asthetically pleasing. They are soft with proportional toes and contain no corns, bunyons, or yellow toenail fungus. The occasional blister and/or callous will form on the balls of the feet due to exercise, but even those are absent since the achilles injury and lack of play.

If anyone is interested in learning more about or viewing my feet, please just send me an e-mail. I will, in turn and for a nominal fee, forward pictures directly to your e-mail address. Your credit card will be discreetly billed under the name, "Alvin Tarpenheimer Enterprises."

Just some random thoughts.

P.S. Doc prescribed more narcotics with the cast off and the stretching and stuff so......

[SouthgateWindsor]

Yes, they are flat and cute. Even in his ratty old Tevas.

EarlJam, I freely admit I am not in my right mind, haven't been since falling down the Gross Chem steps so very long ago... Not all men have cute feet but my husband does, I swear!! Oh and he's a fellow Duke alum too so I guess that might contribute to his podiatric pulchritude, lol.

As a man, the compliment I like most is "what would I do without you" although all of the above would work as well. Basically, compliments = goodness. I am sure all the women would agree...

Seriously, "What would I do without you" may be the best one yet. Long before our relationship took the express detour to Hell, I remember my girlfriend Jenny smiling at me, looking at me and telling me, "I don't know exactly what would have happened to me these past few months but it wouldn't have been good and I can tell you I wouldn't have made it without you." Then she dropped the big "I love you" at the end. Seriously, it was awesome. A Kodak moment that one never loses.
