Compliments can be given for all sorts of reasons... and clearly on fab most of us take them with a bucket of the old salt.

But when you compliment do you always mean what you say? Do you find something specific and compliment that? Or are you a general complimenter?

And what's the best compliment you remember receiving? Did it mean more because of who it was from?

I'm a specific complimenter. Things I notice about people. And yes, I always mean it

I was once told by a gynae Dr that my vagina was "perfect". I'll take that as my best compliment ever! Grade A fanny, get it here

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

One of the exercises my therapist gave me was to gracefully accept compliments.

I do give them, usually about something specific.

The best compliment I received was a group of colleagues arranging a This Is Your Life type event for me. It was a lovely and very touching surprise.

I think the more specific or personal a compliment is the more it means. Nothing wrong with a general compliment but they have less impact.

I was once told by a former employer that I was 'unbossable' - it was meant as a criticism but I cherish it as one of my favourite compliments.

I'm unbelievably bad at accepting compliments.... I'm usually convinced they've got the wrong person

I find specific compliments tend to mean more to give and receive. Although sometimes there is just too much general awesomeness to pick out one thing.

And I absolutely love that! You must have been thrilled!

If I compliment , I definitely mean it.

If I get complimented, I get very awkward.

The best compliment I've ever had was when I walked into eyesight of someone, and they did a double take, stopped what they were doing and said wow, just wow.

I never say anything I don't mean, if I compliment a person it's because I genuinely and sincerely want to. I don't really like getting complimented it makes me a bit uncomfortable... Especially if it's on my looks, much prefer a compliment about my personality.

Yes, I do mean it. I compliment in a similar way to (the rare occasion) I flirt, both times because that's how I genuinely feel and because it's true. I can't do empty ones, I find it awkward.

It depends on the person - sometimes it can be about a particular feature or trait but other times it's appreciation of how brilliant a person they are overall. The best compliment I've received? I'm not sure I have one that stands above the rest. The ones I particularly cherish are from those who I value and respect, even cherish sometimes. And they all possess two qualities, they've made me feel seen and valued, dare I say important to that person.

I only compliment genuinely if I mean it, sometimes I think they are recieved as some kind of cheap sexual advance and as I'd hate to give that impression I don't do it as much these days.

I think we all look at ourselves and often see only what we perceive as our faults so its nice if for no reason someone makes us feel good by passing a nice comment.

I regularly get compliments on my eye colour, probably 3 or 4 times a week. Perhaps its shallow of me but it always makes me smile

By far and away the best and most flattering compliment I have received in at least the last 20 years was from a very special lady fabber who told me (offine and in person - so no bucket of salt required) that I was a very beautiful man... 

I'm not a flagrant complimenter myself - I will never say something I don't mean, so if I have complimented you, you can know that I genuinely mean it... 

(not least, because if you are honest you dont have to remember what you have told people in the past... And my memory is shot!!)

When I give a compliment it's with meaning. I don't say them just for the sake of it.

I used to be hopeless at accepting compliments but as I've got older I am learning just to say "thank you".

Compliments in messages from random people on here I tend to take with a pinch of salt though. The things some people will say to get into your knickers is ridiculous.

That’s the thing with compliments. A thousand people can say you are beautiful/ handsome and it means nothing and you brush it off. Then someone you like says it and suddenly it makes your day. I always compliment genuinely and it’s not get a response it’s just a genuine appreciation of a feature or characteristic that made me smile x

I love to compliment and I love to be complimented!

It's one of the greatest gifts we can give to each other.. To name what it is in each other that we love, appreciate and are inspired by.

The greatest compliment I could ever receive was my mum saying to me that if she had her time over again, she would be inspired by me and live life and make choices more like I do!!!! My goodness! I love and respect my mum... So that was a beautiful, gorgeous, precious compliment.

They are. Absolutely.

Because when you set up a new profile with no text or pictures and get 100 messages in a few minutes telling you "you're beautiful/amazing/just my type/random superlative" you kind of start getting cynical.

I would never give a compliment I don't genuinely mean. I tend to give more where I think they are needed, such as if somebody has a downer on themselves, but my compliments are no less sincere.

I personally feel very uncomfortable receiving compliments. Maybe that's hypocritical. It just seems to me that I'm supposed to agree with the good things being said about me but I don't always. Luke

I once got a compliment from a lady on here who is not around very much of late, when I was on a real downer due to a lot of crap going on personally. That compliment meant and still does mean the world to me as the lady knew how cr@p I was feeling at the time and it had me in tears.

I suppose what I am trying to say here is that sometimes compliments can and do mean a hell of a lot to people at times, so please when you post them make them heartfelt

Doesn't need to be shallow to smile at being told something nice though.

It is too easy to just see our own faults, seeing ourselves through the eyes of others is hard, because we dont have their eyes.

"My most recent remembered compliment was from a customer of mine, who upon learning the real reason I'm bald said she thought I shaved my head because I was cool. "

That's a pretty awesome compliment actually!

"Compliments can be given for all sorts of reasons... and clearly on fab most of us take them with a bucket of the old salt.

But when you compliment do you always mean what you say? Do you find something specific and compliment that? Or are you a general complimenter?

And what's the best compliment you remember receiving? Did it mean more because of who it was from?

"

I don't compliment unless I believe it. Trust is too hard to come by and I don't need to impress people by bullshitting.

The best compliment I have received was from a woman at a social. She told me "now that was an amazing kiss. Do that again" kissing is important to me.

Obviously I have recieved better from people I know and worked with. Or when people have told me they respect me. Stuff like that makes my heart warm.

The kiss compliment was different and it stood out in my head

"That’s the thing with compliments. A thousand people can say you are beautiful/ handsome and it means nothing and you brush it off. Then someone you like says it and suddenly it makes your day. I always compliment genuinely and it’s not get a response it’s just a genuine appreciation of a feature or characteristic that made me smile x"

You make a good point there....

I shall counter with the sadness that for many a thousand people can say you're beautiful/handsome or whatever and you dont hear it, and one person says you're not and it's the only thing you can hear.

That's why it is so hard to believe compliments for many of us.... the volume is turned too high on the negative.

"I love to compliment and I love to be complimented!

It's one of the greatest gifts we can give to each other.. To name what it is in each other that we love, appreciate and are inspired by.

The greatest compliment I could ever receive was my mum saying to me that if she had her time over again, she would be inspired by me and live life and make choices more like I do!!!! My goodness! I love and respect my mum... So that was a beautiful, gorgeous, precious compliment. "

That must have been so special!

We disregard when we think people are only saying it to be nice. It doesn't feel right because we don't have the same view in our heads.

If someone says I'm handsome I tend to ignore it because that's not how I see myself (even tho I know I'm not seeing myself as others do)

"I once got a compliment from a lady on here who is not around very much of late, when I was on a real downer due to a lot of crap going on personally. That compliment meant and still does mean the world to me as the lady knew how cr@p I was feeling at the time and it had me in tears.

I suppose what I am trying to say here is that sometimes compliments can and do mean a hell of a lot to people at times, so please when you post them make them heartfelt "

That's the best way.

It's lovely that someone made you feel that way.

"I certainly mean what I say, some may think I'm saying it to get in their knickers but if I feel something is worth complimenting I shall.

I will complement a profile if I think it's appealing and such with photographs

I think as long as you're consistent and appear to actually have paid attention to what you're looking at or reading, that comes across genuine.

I totally do but appears some like and some don't which is life in general I suppose but I'd say mist mistake it for wanting a shag only, my opinion that's all x"

Unfortunately a lot of people here have been a bit conditioned to believe that.

I think without doubt there's 2 compliments I've had either in the forums or privately in texts from fab friends that I value highly and have meant the most to me...

Few are aware of all the challenges I've faced in the last 2yrs but most will know at least some of them. All will remain nameless but a couple have said I was the most positive person they knew, that gave me strength.

I've also been told that I was the best a father could've been to my son and did all I could, that has to be the finest compliment I or anyone could ever wish to receive and nothing will ever come close to how it still makes me feel.

"I never say anything I don't mean, if I compliment a person it's because I genuinely and sincerely want to. I don't really like getting complimented it makes me a bit uncomfortable... Especially if it's on my looks, much prefer a compliment about my personality.

Why do you think that is?"

I don't know, maybe it's because I find it more believable that someone would find me funny or nice or whatever than truly think I'm physically attractive... Or maybe it's because looks arnt as important to me as personality, I'd much rather somone remember me for being a kind/caring/funny/smart or whatever person than a pretty person

I'm not a very good complimenter or do it often so when I do compliment someone I absolutely mean it. I also hate compliments, I take it with a pinch of salt and forget about it, thinking it couldn't ever be true.

The best compliment has always got to be my eyes. Husband says they're so honest (and naughty of course).

Oh god not my best subject… I’m learning more and more about myself as I talk to close friends and realising how closed off I’ve truly become.. I’m not a gushy human so when I say something complementary I absolutely mean it. Whilst I will accept complements from friends I still struggle to do it graciously. If it’s someone I don’t know well I dismiss it as trying to achieve something.. it’s crap really. I didn’t realise I was quite so jaded

Thinking that our compliments/those of our friends are genuine and doubting others is a thing isn't it? I'm not sure why that is - it reminds me of the thread Tea did earlier about being a "good" person and someone said treating others equally. Why do we believe ourselves but question others? I'm not sure but it's interesting.

I a very bad complimentee.. I get flustered and panic... My instinct is 'run' often i can't run, so i turn to humour its never failed me yet

Oh Midnight you glorious beast!

Absolutely! That's why I give the compliments. Because it's awesome to make a person smile with something lovely."

"Oh god not my best subject… I’m learning more and more about myself as I talk to close friends and realising how closed off I’ve truly become.. I’m not a gushy human so when I say something complementary I absolutely mean it. Whilst I will accept complements from friends I still struggle to do it graciously. If it’s someone I don’t know well I dismiss it as trying to achieve something.. it’s crap really. I didn’t realise I was quite so jaded "

A compliment from you always means a lot to the person receiving it. Trust me

"If I pay a compliment what favour am I currying? What am I going to get? I'm not having a go at the lady _eli quoted, I'm just letting you know that sometimes it's nice to let people know when you admire them

Thinking that our compliments/those of our friends are genuine and doubting others is a thing isn't it? I'm not sure why that is - it reminds me of the thread Tea did earlier about being a "good" person and someone said treating others equally. Why do we believe ourselves but question others? I'm not sure but it's interesting."

Know thy self.

And we think we do. But we don't.

How your voice sounds in your head isn't how others hear it.

We either have inflated senses of self or deflated.

We all know beautiful people who are insecure about how they look. Or people less gifted with looks who "punch above their weight" because they think they are good looking and that confidence works.

Also It's easier to believe the dark voices in your mind if you have low self esteem

"I don't hand out compliments freely or easily.

When I give one it is genuinely sincere. "

The best compliment you've ever given me is printed out and framed.

And I dont even care if that's self involved of me.

Thank you Chill

"I always mean it when I pay a compliment … otherwise it shows as insincere …. A lot of people struggle with compliments and can show their own humility or often because they have had a past of constant negativity etc … x

Do you think you struggle with it?

I don’t think so … it also helps on whose giving it… I manage a fair few staff and hearing them say I’ve helped them or supported them is always nice to hear

You are beautifully supportive WK x

Lush compliment thank you and I mean what I say "

Ditto. And thank you

"On here it's mostly to curry favour

That's really no compliment at all

I think that can be true sometimes but it's a tad cynical - I'd like to believe that we all (bar when we're trying to have sex with someone) genuinely mean our compliments and say them as appreciative verbal nods, at least 90% of the time.

I agree with _eli.

I doubt I will ever meet anyone I have messaged on here (tho it hurts my heart to admit it)

If I pay a compliment what favour am I currying? What am I going to get? I'm not having a go at the lady _eli quoted, I'm just letting you know that sometimes it's nice to let people know when you admire them

Why is it nice?

That makes it sound like it's more about the person giving the compliment, than the one receiving.

"

I like hearing when I do good work.

It's nice that my boss takes time to tell me what I'm doing right rather than what I'm doing wrong.

He doesn't get any benefit. So why do it? Because I feel better afterwards.

"I think without doubt there's 2 compliments I've had either in the forums or privately in texts from fab friends that I value highly and have meant the most to me...

Few are aware of all the challenges I've faced in the last 2yrs but most will know at least some of them. All will remain nameless but a couple have said I was the most positive person they knew, that gave me strength.

I've also been told that I was the best a father could've been to my son and did all I could, that has to be the finest compliment I or anyone could ever wish to receive and nothing will ever come close to how it still makes me feel."
I don't know you personally but do know some of what you've been through via your forum posts. That is THE best compliment.

Unfair how?"

Because a lot of the time it isn't to curry favour. Some people just give a compliment because they see something to compliment. Not everyone has an ulterior motive.

Well, I think you're rather delightful

"On here it's mostly to curry favour

That's really no compliment at all

That's unfair to a hell of a lot of people on here.

And I find it very sad that anyone actually believes it.

Unfair how?

Because a lot of the time it isn't to curry favour. Some people just give a compliment because they see something to compliment. Not everyone has an ulterior motive.

I agree 100% with this poshy

"Someone recently told me I had the kindest eyes they had ever seen. I didn't really know what to say!

You say "thank you". Or if you're me..... "trust me, there's fuck all kind about these eyes.....", then blush and run away "

I did say thank you!

I think compliments can absolutely make someone's day. And that can only be a good thing!

Thank you all for joining in my rambling musing again, I do love when y'all put up with my incessant babble and questions.

I love to compliment people. It makes them joy and sometimes roll their eyes. But either way, brings at least little smile I hope.

And I mean what I say when I do it. It'll be a genuine compliment. Sometimes specific, sometimes general. Oftentimes completely random and pretty obscure. But always genuine.

And the greatest compliment I've received has been someone's trust. Almost instant and so pure
