One of the best one-word compliments for women would be simply saying that she is smart! When you use it at the right time, we bet it will lighten up her mood.

But what are the other few ways that you can employ to compliment her? You may compliment a woman’s eyes, her hairstyle, her voice, or her smile. And people who have a thing for fashion would definitely look at the clothes and accessories. Whatever is the first thing that grabs your attention, be sure you compliment it. And, of course, the tone matters! You should be warm and polite while you state your compliment. Because more than the words, the tone is what is gonna get into her head.

There are a few things that need to be considered when you compliment her. First of all, as already stated, the tone matters. Always be polite, and it should not sound forced. Don’t overdo the complimenting or exaggerate as well because complimenting way too often could be annoying to her, and soon she will not value those words either. Ensure that the situation is also right! You don’t wanna throw a random compliment and make it awkward for both of you. Understand what means to her the most and compliment her on that. Avoid body shaming or size-based compliments because most women don’t enjoy it. Bonus tips to be kept in mind are to be bold, genuine, and kind.

If she is someone you have known for a while and is not a complete stranger, you can go ahead and pick any of her character traits. She can be bold, courageous, outgoing, or even a people person. Many women love it when you compliment them on their specific nature.

Also, while jotting down a nice compliment for a woman, you might wanna take her very many skill sets into consideration too. The ideas she comes up with, the way she handles her tasks, her attitude to subordinates at work are certain things to be observed and complimented. Oh, and you can also compliment her on her dancing skills, her expertise in music or instruments, or even cooking or organizing the house. Comments on her driving can also be a great compliment for women.

However, you need to know all the risks you might land yourself in if you do things the wrong way. One thing that certainly will annoy and make a negative impact on you is when you use those offensive backhanded compliments for women. Yes, it is demeaning and can also affect her whole attitude. Even if you were trying to be funny, we do not recommend using this. It can also imply that she is generally not good or the best at whatever it is. Let’s say, for example, if you tell her “this dress makes you look prettier,” she can also take it in a sense that she generally does not look very good in other dresses, and it can be very damaging for her while she chooses her outfit the next time. These little things can ruin your relationship with her. So it is better to refrain from making those statements that can be the cause of her insecurities.

Quick Tip

Try to link your compliment with something you genuinely feel about your partner. This way, your compliment will also feel authentic.
