7 Phrases Men Love To Hear
Seven compliments that will leave him glowing.
Whether you're starting a new relationship or already married, there are some things that don't change, like the need to feel sexy, appreciated and needed. And it's not just women who want these things—men do too! Below are seven things you can say to a man, at any stage of your love life, that will leave him glowing.
You look great.
Men have insecurities, just like women. And whether he shows it or not, sometimes he's wondering if his shirt looks better tucked in or out, or if his belly is sticking out a little too far over his belt. This is an especially good compliment if he's been going to the gym—why do you think he's doing all that working out? Guys Have Insecurities, Too!
I love your [insert body part].
Sometimes it helps to get specific—see the above tip. And, we're not gonna lie, one of the best fill-in-the-blanks here is, "I love your you-know-what" (or whatever word you can say without laughing or blushing too much.) Men are sensitive about their manly bits and they want to know that you're attracted to what they have. 3 Ways To "Size" A Man Up
I love it when you [insert action].
This is one that can benefit you as much as him. Men are the traditional initiators, and even if your man isn't the one to make the first move, chances are he sometimes feels like he should. If you don't tell him what you like, he's just flying blind. In fact, if you haven't complimented him he might even think you don't like what he's doing. And of course, the more you tell him you love it when he scratches your lower back, or runs your fingers along your chest, the more he'll do it. Who Should Make The First Move?
That woman just checked you out.
Yes, this helps his self-confidence. But it also tells him that you just saw another woman looking at him and you're not afraid to tell him. It shows that you're confident enough to know that he won't be lured away by another gal. Plus, what guy can resist the thought women are giving him the once-over?
You're right.
We all like to be right, men included. And you know what? Sometimes they are. It probably happens less often than he thinks, but when he is right, it's nice to tell him, especially if you were arguing. Sure, it might make you feel a little sheepish, but it's worth it in the end. It'll make him feel good, and showing that you're a reasonable creature who can admit when you're wrong will help temper future disagreements. 9 Things To Say During A Fight
Will you help me unscrew this?
Men like to feel manly. It might not be PC, but it's ingrained in our culture. Helping women with simple tasks makes them feel macho and noble. We're not saying you should ask him to do things you can easily do yourself, but if you do need assistance, it's a little ego-booster he'll be happy to accept.

I have told my hubby that another women was checking him out! He didn't even notice...lol...he is so cute. I know it made him feel good though...he was hugging me tight all night!
Forget about the one about a nother person "checking him out" It goes to a guys head, and not the one on top--Seriously, who would say this and think this one works. A man needs to feel like a man, Let him know how important he is to you, not that others may feel the same way. He knows, but he needs to know you are best for him. 22 years with the same guy proves this.
As a guy I'll largely agree with you on that...but personally it doesn't wash with me. I've been with women who were more than comfortable with and confident enough in themselves who have pointed it out to me...likewise I enjoy doing the same for them.
Maybe its just me, but I don't worry about the woman I'm with running off to be with someone else. If it happens then I can recognize where the fault was and move on, but I've never felt a reason to not acknowledge the fact that other people (they aren't always men checking out my girl) find my GF sexy enough to give her more than a cursory glance, and it boosts her ego as well.
Likewise, those GFs that were comfortable enough with themselves and our relationship to point out such things gave me an ego boost, sure, but it also spoke to me of the confidence of my partner, increasing her own sex appeal for me.
So, I guess it really depends on how well you know your partner as being just how much you should implement advice given by others...or each to their own.
Two more phrases:
I really admire the way you _______________________. This can be anything, the way he tells the truth, his ability to speak Spanish, how hard he works, whatever you truly admire about him.
Thank you for _____________________. Everyone likes to be thanked, even when they're just taking their turn at loading the dishwasher. They may not jump up and down about it, but they'll remember.
i can relate to this because,a lot of times,i find myself asking my sister and friends how do i look before i even finish dressing,i even take an older female with me when i go shoping for clothes and ask the question(if i was your man would you want to be seen with me in out fit ?) or i find myself telling folk ( i dont think i'm goodlooking enough to be seen with theme on some occassions and whos dressed an certant way.
I do these things every once in a while, but reading this has made me realize how important it really is. Everyone (myself included) likes to be acknowleged in some way, and hearing it from the person you share your life with makes it that much more sweeter.
I could have everyone in the world tell me how cute I am or how good I smell, but if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean as much. Granted, it is still appreciated, but hearing it from him puts me on cloud nine. I know men feel the same.
If all of us made it a point to compliment eachother, we would all be a little happier with each other.
Well said! Yes it's true, us men like to hear those things as well, we just tend to not let it be known as much because it seems unmanly to admit that we do. Everybody likes to feel that there S.O. finds things about them amazing and tells them in some way.
