Complement word for a man

You’re head over heels in love.

And everyone loves a sincere and meaningful compliment.

Think of how you felt the last time you received one. 

Special. Respected. Admired. Irresistible. 

You want to make him feel that way, too.

So, look through this list of 115 compliments for men. 

You’ll find just the words or the inspiration you need. 

Does a Man Like Compliments?

Your guy may seem cool and confident and never fish for praise, but underneath, he needs to know you appreciate him and like who he is.

He may not ask, “Do these jeans make my butt look big,” but he’ll certainly be thrilled to hear you say, “You look so hot in those jeans.”

Beyond praise of his looks and physique (which are nice but superficial), your recognition of his good character, charm, intelligence, hard work, career success, values, and integrity go a long way in cementing a bond between you.

Try saying things like . . .

• “I really admire the way you spoke to the waiter when he brought out the wrong order.”

• “You are the most hard-working man I know, and you still make time to visit your family.”

• “You always make people feel so comfortable when you speak to them.”

When you compliment your guy on the qualities that mean the most to him, he’ll feel that you really “get” him and understand him on a level that others don’t. And hopefully, you really do.

How to Compliment a Guy the Right Way 

Before you dive into our list of compliments, though, we’d like to share some ideas for offering him a compliment in a sincere way. You know the guy in question better than we do, but the following points are worth considering:  

How do you compliment a guy on his looks?

Everyone, guys included, likes to hear compliments about how they look. Who wouldn’t want their partner to look at them and say, “Wow, you look great!” 

Generally, though, the more specific the compliment, the more significant the impact: 

• “Those jeans look fantastic on you!” 
• “I love the way that shirt brings out your eyes.” 
• “Those glasses frames are perfect for you. Great choice!”

How do you compliment a guy sexually?

If you’re complimenting your guy’s performance in bed, he’ll enjoy it more if you focus on one or more of the following: 

• What he did that you particularly enjoyed 
• Your inability to stop thinking about your last time together
• How being with him has reinvented sex for you in the best possible way

Don’t lay it on too thick, but let him know he has nothing to worry about. 

How do you compliment a guy over text?

Keep in mind a text can be noticed by others, so this may not be the best vehicle for a sex compliment. That said, there’s plenty of room for the kinds of compliments he’ll love to see coming from you. Focus on one of the following: 

• His appearance
• His work
• The effort he puts into the relationship
• His character
• His personality
• His heart
• His mind 

How do you compliment a guy in one word?

If you could only use one word to compliment the man in your life, the following steps can help you find the best words to use:

• Start with a list of positive words that describe him. 
• Highlight those that relate to the qualities in him you most admire. 
• If he shows a distinct preference for any, use those more, too. 

Stick with what you know to be true about him. 

Now that you know how to deliver a compliment your favorite guy will love, go ahead and look through the following list to find at least one great compliment for today. 

Each of the following compliments for men comes with an explanatory follow-up thought. You can either add it to your compliment or use it as inspiration. 

Different situations call for different kinds of compliments, so you’ll see these divided into separate categories to help you find the one with the best fit. 

Compliments for Him about His Looks

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want their significant other to find them attractive — irresistible, even. You’re not being shallow by complimenting your man’s physical appeal.

There’s a time to focus on the reasons he makes your senses happy.  

1. You are so handsome. You can make any outfit look good. And with that smile, it’s hard to care about the clothes, anyway. 

2. You have a great sense of style.  I like the clothes you wear. Not every guy has a knack for picking out clothes that look great on him. 

3. I love to watch you move. But I’d rather be close enough to hold your hand. 

4. Just looking at you makes me smile. The sight of you makes everything better. 

5. When I look into your eyes, I see intelligence, humor, and kindness. I could look into them all day. But I can think of better things to do when you’re here. 

6. You smell fantastic. (This one isn’t about looks, but it does go to physical appeal.)

7. Your smile is my favorite thing. Nothing lights me up inside like seeing you smile.

8. Don’t rush to shave on my account. You’re irresistible with or without facial hair. 

9. Whatever you’re doing to look this good, keep it up. It’s working (at least on me).

10. I’m powerless against that smirk of yours. Ties me in knots every time I see it. Never lose the smirk. 

11. I love that every time you call, I get to see your face on my phone.

12. You really are adorable. I look at you and just want to hug you. 

13. I’m glad you take such good care of your teeth. I love seeing them. 

14. I love your feet. Fine with me if you walk around barefoot most of the time.

15. Whatever your hair is doing, it always looks hot. How is that possible?

16. I love watching your mouth. If I don’t always hear what’s coming out of it, be patient. I’ll get there. Eventually. 

17. I see how other women are drawn to you. Inside and out, you’re in a league of your own.

Compliments for Men and Their Work and Accomplishments

You can praise your man’s work and accomplishments without denigrating your own; in fact, the compliments will mean more if you also value and respect yourself.

Show him you’ve noticed and are impressed with what he’s learned and how far he’s come.

1. You did a fantastic job at [latest job well done]. I hope you don’t mind my bragging about you to everyone who will listen.  

2. I love watching you work. You just keep getting better at it. And I love the view. 

3. You should be proud of what you’ve accomplished this year. (Recount some of his accomplishments and remark on why they matter and how proud you are of him.) 

4. I’ve never met anyone as knowledgeable and perceptive about this as you are. If I have any questions, I know whom to ask. 

5. You continually impress me. Just when I think I’ve seen you at your best, you find another way to surprise me and make me even prouder. 

6. I admire the way you handled that situation. You treated others with respect and took calm, decisive action. You set a good example for others.

8. I’m in awe of how far you’ve come and how much you’ve grown. You amaze me. Just watching and listening to you makes me want to be better. 

9. I’d like to learn more about [something that interests him]. Where should I start? 

10. Have I told you lately how much I love it when you cook? And not just because I don’t have to. 

11. You’re always learning, and I love that about you. You never get bored of learning new things. I want to learn with you. 

12. I’m honestly jealous of the people who get to work with you. Lucky jerks.

13. No one is more trustworthy or competent when it comes to your job. 

14. I read everything you write. Everything feels like it was written just for me.

15. You combine intelligence and drive with a strong work ethic. You inspire people around you, including me. 

16. When you set your mind on something, you get it done. I admire that. 

17. Can you help me fix this? You have a knack for fixing things and making them better.

Compliments for Him and His Personality

Focusing on his personality doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate his other gifts.

But every man wants to know that you see the person behind the pretty face, that you admire his character, and that it’s his personality — not his physical attributes — that you love most.

1. You’re the best listener I know. You listen to understand — not to win an argument. 

2. I love listening to your ideas. The way your mind works fascinates me. 

3. You’re not afraid to take risks and try new things. I admire your courage and your sense of adventure. 

4. You crack me up all the time. I don’t know anyone who makes me laugh as much.

5. You’re the kindest, most generous person I know. I admire your character and your compassion. 

6. Having a good time with you is effortless. No one is more fun than you are. 

7. I love talking to you and listening to you talk. You’re the best conversation partner. 

8. Life with you is never boring. Whatever you want to do, I’m up for it.  

9. You have a knack for saying what I need to hear. I need you around more often.

10. When I beat you at something, you’re the first one to brag to others about it. You’re never a sore loser — or an insufferable winner. 

11. When I’m good at something, you never let me forget it. You’re as proud of my gifts as I am of yours. 

12. You have never been afraid of losing — just of failing to learn from it. You inspire me to take more risks. 

13. I love how much energy you put into lifting people up. 

14. I don’t know anyone with a bigger heart or a more beautiful mind. 

15. Corny as your jokes are, I can’t help smiling when you tell them. 

16. You always try to see the best in people, including me. 

17. You’re the best person to have around in a crisis. You help me feel calm when everything turns to chaos. 

18. You can take even lame jokes and make them funny. How do you do that?

Love Compliments for Men

These compliments express your love in a variety of ways by showing your man how he, his words, and his behavior make you feel. Because while no one wants to be responsible for making someone happy all the time, how he makes you feel still matters. A lot.

1. I’ve never felt more loved than when I’m with you. You remind me every day.

2. I feel most at home when I’m with you. I feel perfectly comfortable being myself.

3. You make me feel like someone worth standing up for. I feel valued and supported.

It can be hard to think of compliments for men. Men, after all, are notoriously difficult to compliment and bad at giving compliments.

Compliments are, at heart, a way of signaling admiration, respect, and an interest in getting closer. They can make the difference between a promotion and the same old job, or between a night out with the guys and a lonely night at home.

Try some of the compliments below, and you’re sure to be getting more from the guys you talk to immediately.

How to Give Compliments for Men

Now you have some compliments for guys, you may feel like you’re going to run into trouble using them. After all, it can be difficult to know when and how to say something, even when you know what to say.

Thankfully, this process is actually really easy. If you take a moment to think and follow these steps, you can make sure you deliver a great compliment in just the right way.

1. Decide What You Want from This Guy

Who is this guy to you? Is this a colleague you want to get to know? A boss you want to charm? A guy you’d like to be your friend? Or a guy you want something more from?

Knowing what you’re looking for will help you choose the compliment that works best. You can pick a compliment that leads your relationship in that ideal direction.

2. Think About What He Wants to Hear

At the same time you’re choosing a compliment that fits your purposes, think about how he probably sees himself.

You want your compliment to speak either to something he’s proud of about himself or something he’s insecure about.

If he’s always nervous about people thinking they can walk all over him, tell him you think he could be a great leader. If he’s really proud of how he dresses, tell him he’s got great hair. In both cases, you’ll be sure to hit the mark.

3. Settle on the Right Moment

Some compliments are ruined by timing and circumstance. Guys are much worse than girls at responding to a compliment, particularly in the wrong company.

So, give him the compliment when it’s just the two of you and when he seems loosened up. Perhaps give it over a beer or while hanging out and relaxing. He’s much more likely to give a genuine reaction.

4. Respond Coolly to His Immediate Reaction

No matter how he responds, be sure to keep it casual. If he senses you’re looking for a certain reaction, he’s more likely not to give it.

If he just says thanks, accept it and move on. If he laughs and is embarrassed, laugh with him and introduce a new topic. If you play it cool, he’ll take the compliment as genuine, and he’s more likely to respond positively.

5. Look for His True Reaction Later

The thing about compliments for men is that men often have a delayed reaction. Since they aren’t good at immediately showing positive emotion, his real reaction may come later.

Watch to see if he acts differently when you see him the next few times. He may act more chummy or make a greater effort to talk to you and hang out.

That’s the real reaction you were seeking, and if it’s positive, feed it with more compliments.

More Steps on Talking to Men

Getting your chat on with guys takes more than handing out a few compliments. Don’t worry, though, we’ve got you covered on all your conversation tools.

Use these to improve your gift for gab:

1. With questions to ask a guy, you’ll get him chatting despite himself.
2. Try some interesting questions to ask a guy to lead him into conversations that are interesting for both of you.
3. When you want to build a relationship from scratch with a guy, use questions to ask a guy to get to know him.

In Conclusion

Having some compliments for men ready is incredibly handy. Whether you just want to express what a good friend someone is, you want to build friendships, or you want something more, compliments are the way to make those things happen.

Compliments for guys also make it easier to get along in life, no matter the situation. A random colleague will be happy to receive a compliment in the same way a long-time friend is.

Now, no matter the situation you’re in, or what you’re looking for from that situation, you’ll have a compliment on hand to let a guy know how you feel.

When men can be so bad at expressing their feelings, this can let you break down those boundaries and really express yourself and get closer.

How do you feel about yourself when someone pays you a nice compliment? Special? Proud? Appreciated? Seen? Admired? These are just a few reasons why it is nice to give compliments to other people.

We all need a confidence boost from time to time. A compliment gives us that. A sincere compliment can remind us of what our best qualities are.

Even though men are not typically seen as people that you give compliments to, they like being appreciated just as much as women. A good, sincere compliment can make a guy’s day and even turn it around for the better.

Think about your significant other and what you love about him. Is he a great provider? Someone whom you can always talk to? Is he a really good cook? Let him know how special he is and how great he makes you feel.

At the end of the day, we all like to feel seen and appreciated by those around us. We all like to be reminded of what it is that makes us special, of what other people see in us.

There are some slight differences in compliments for men versus compliments for women. Women tend to get complimented more on things like their looks and their style, though you can also give guys similar compliments too.

And when it comes to relationships, women tend to enjoy more romantic compliments. But that does not mean that men do not enjoy romance either.

On the whole, men seem to enjoy having their efforts complimented the most. Whether it is a date he planned or a presentation he put together at work, they like seeing their efforts pay off.

At the same time, keep in mind that men and women are not so vastly different. When it comes down to it, anyone likes a compliment that comes straight from the heart.

If you want to know how to go about complimenting a guy, here are some tips below on how to go about it.

How to Compliment a Guy

Be sincere

Even though men may not get compliments as much as women, they can still tell if you are being fake with them. Only give compliments that you genuinely mean.

Compliment their looks

Yes, guys care about their looks too. You can make a guy feel nice especially if he has made an effort with his hair or outfit.

There are also his actual physical attributes. If you think he has nice eyes, hair, etc., let him know. It might even make him blush a little.

While it is true that men typically do not put as much time and effort into their appearances as much as women do, a guy will still appreciate it if you point out how great his new haircut looks or how noticeable it is that he has been working out more at the gym.

Compliment his work

Who out there does not enjoy being complimented for the hard work that they do? Guys are no different and they are typically known for the work they do.

Whether you work with him or are his wife or friend, let him know how good he is at what he does. It will make him feel special.

Maybe he talks passionately about what he does in the office or you have seen him on the job yourself. Either way, he will love being complimented for the hard work he does.

This can apply to not only his work, but his other skills as well. Is he well-read? Is he good at fixing things? If you can acknowledge his skills, then he will feel nice about it.

Make him feel important

Aside from being good at his job, how else can you make a guy feel important? Is he strong? Is he always helpful? One of the best things you can tell a guy is that he matters.

If he feels like he is important to you, he will feel flattered and that is a great compliment. Maybe you enjoy your time with him and you feel like you can tell him anything. Whatever these great attributes are, let him know.

These are just a few ways that you can compliment a guy. Below are many more ways in which you can compliment a man that you know, whether he is a friend, a husband, or someone else that you may know.

Are compliments and praise just meant for a woman? No! Men also like to be appreciated just as much. Complimenting a man on the way he looks, his personality or his skills will go a long way in making him happy. There are compliments for men that can easily win them over.

Are you wondering how to compliment a man on his dressing sense? Or, are you confused about how to compliment a guy on his personality? How do you compliment a guy sexually to get things going? Though it may seem like you don’t have many options while searching through compliments for men, that’s not really the case.

There are many easy, direct compliments for men and you do not have to stick to generic compliments like “handsome” to appreciate your man. Let’s take a look at some of the best compliments for men, why you need to give them, and just how you should go about complimenting him.

40 Compliments For Men To Make Them Happy And Love You More

Have you ever thought if we were more generous in complimenting guys, we’d also get more compliments in return? So, why is it that women are at a loss for words and do not really know how to compliment a man? Because it has become a social norm of sorts that women receive compliments while men give them.

But why should the girls have all the fun and attention? Don’t you think your man also deserves to receive compliments from you? Whether you compliment him on his fashion, his choice of movies, or maybe simply his new beard, compliments are bound to make his day better. Heartfelt and honest compliments from you can truly help nourish your relationship with your guy in ways unimaginable.

In fact, dating coach Geetarsh Kaur previously told Bonobology about how men love to be babied and a compliment goes a long way. “It’s a natural human emotion to want to be pampered and cared for. Because of that, men love to be mothered. It doesn’t mean you’re dating a man-child. They like the care, the intimacy, the comfort, and the way it makes them feel about the relationship. Everyone wants to feel important. It’s not like he aspires to be a stoic ‘man’ of the house; you both have to be equal in your relationship, and some compliments for men can be a great way to show that,” she says.

Moreover, since you spend a lot of time with your boyfriend or husband daily, you might have started taking his good qualities for granted in the relationship. You may no longer think it is important to acknowledge and compliment him for the small things he does for you. However, do not underestimate the encouragement that your sincere words of appreciation can give your guy. Even though you love him with all of your heart, will it not be a good idea to express that love through compliments and praise in a more direct manner?

If you’re left wondering how to compliment a man often, you’ll soon find out that it’s not a hard thing to do at all. Let us take a quick look at 40 compliments for men that make them happy and satisfied.

1. You make me feel cherished and safe

It is natural for your man to be protective of you and cherish you, as you are the most important person in his life. So make sure you remind him that you love being in his protective presence and truly appreciate your spouse/partner. Men love to know that they are doing enough for their loved ones. It’ll let him know that you appreciate his caring personality and that you’re truly grateful for it.

2. The way you dealt with this situation is highly admirable

Wondering how to compliment a man on his personality? Tell him he has great decision-making skills. Sometimes in high-stress or complicated situations, it is difficult to make a decision. You can praise your man’s decision-making abilities, astute judgment, and integrity through this self-esteem-boosting compliment. Letting him know you appreciate his ability to deal with difficult situations is a way of praising his personality and will make him feel powerful.

3. Your sense of humor is amazing

If you were looking for one-word compliments for guys, “funny” might just be it. Men love making their loved ones laugh. It has been proven that women feel more attracted to men who can make them laugh. They say that laughter is medicine and humor is god’s gift to mankind. Life would be dull without some humorous banter.

So if your man makes the effort of making you laugh and you appreciate how funny he is, then do not avoid complimenting his sense of humor. You must flirt with your husband or boyfriend, every chance you get! They love it.

4. You are a man of character

If you are looking for compliments for men, then zero in on this one. All of us have unique traits that make us special. Whether it is his geeky nature, his sincerity, or maybe the way he helps those in need. Think back to the qualities that attracted you to him initially and let him know how much you adore him for his unique characteristics. Compliment a guy on his personality and character in a truthful and heart-warming manner to win his heart and boost his morale.

5. You are an extremely dexterous person

Just the way men love to protect you, they also like to do “manly” tasks around the house. If your man helps fix a broken door or changes the bulbs in the house, make sure that you appreciate his dexterity. Sometimes his help is as simple as opening a tight jar or killing an insect you are scared of. Let him know you appreciate him helping out. They love to be useful around the house and if you compliment him and tell him how much that matters to you, it will surely make him super happy.

6. My friends and relatives adore you

Once he knows your friends and relatives adore him as much as you adore him, he will become more confident around them and will begin to build a rapport with them. Your man getting along with the other important people in your life is always a huge plus and will make your relationship happy in the long run.

7. You are a worthwhile and splendid son/brother/friend, etc.

This compliment will show your guy that you are observant of all that he does for the people close to him. It will also convey to him that you appreciate his ability to build and maintain strong relationships with his family members. Not only is this a commendable quality, but it is also often overlooked amongst men. Let him know how much you like this about him.

8. You are the best confidant I have

By complimenting your man in this manner, you will be able to build a strong foundation for a trustful and truthful relationship with him. It will make him realize that you turn to him for helpful advice and soon he will start doing the same. As a bonus, you will also be able to share all your juicy gossip with him because you know he won’t betray your trust and spread it.

9. You make me feel comfortable and confident

If you feel like you can be your true authentic self in front of your man, then why not let him know that? He will be extremely happy about the fact that you are comfortable around him and will soon begin to ease up around you too. The best sign of a strong and healthy relationship is when you don’t have to think twice before you talk to your partner. This is among the best compliments for men. If you tell him “I feel so comfortable with you”, he will love you to the moon and back.

10. You are a great communicator

In any relationship, there are bound to be misunderstandings and disagreements. If you notice that your man takes initiative and tries to talk things out, then let him know how much you appreciate this characteristic. Additionally, if he is vocal about his feelings and has open honest conversations with you, then make sure you let him know you appreciate this too. Most men are not comfortable communicating their feelings. If your man is an exception to this norm, tell him you love this quality of his.

If yes, then let him know how proud you are to have him as a life partner or boyfriend. This will also make you seem secure in your relationship and not come across as a jealous girlfriend or wife.

13. Your workout regime is working wonders

Why not shut down any insecurity that your man may have about his body by complimenting his workout regime and how it is working effectively on him?

Even if it’s a white lie, it is harmless. It will also let him know that you find him irresistible and lead to great chemistry in the bedroom. After many years of marriage, we often forget how sexy we find our partner and these cute compliments will help you remind him of that.

16. You smell tempting

Every man has a unique smell and as women, we know how amazing some of those colognes for men smell. Complimenting the amazing blend of soap, deodorant, cologne, and pheromones that make your man sexier and tempting should be done often both with your words and your nose!

A man’s natural odor is so important to turn on a woman. If you want to compliment your man sexually, tell him how much his smell makes you want him more. Being told that his smell leaves you feeling weak in the knees is one of the best compliments for men.

Praising your guy’s ability in bed will encourage him to be sexier and more adventurous, which, in turn, will work wonders for your sex life. Tell him you love the way he spices up your sex life. Tell him you love the way he takes the lead in bed and tries out positions to give you pleasure.

Even in healthy relationships, we often tend to take that for granted. Don’t make that mistake, and use the following compliments for men immediately:

21. You are the luck and love of my life

If you think that you have hit the jackpot in your love life, then share it with your man. Tell him that you value his contribution to your blissful life. Let him know how grateful you are about having met him and how much you value your time spent together. Compliments for men could be an expression of your gratitude for just having them around. If he is helping you with the household chores, tell him how lucky you feel that he cares.

Why Is It Important To Compliment Men Often?

Men, just like women, are sensitive human beings who like to feel wanted and needed. When they are putting effort into their appearance or other aspects of their personality, they like to feel complimented. In a relationship, men are always expected to be the ones complimenting their wives or girlfriends and making sure all their needs are satisfied. But in today’s time, there should be equality, and complimenting should happen both ways.

The socialization of men has taken place in such a way that they communicate in a very different way than women communicate. In some situations, that may also lead to resentment in the relationship. Women often receive compliments not only from men but also from female relatives and friends. That is how women interact with others. While men, on the other hand, rarely compliment other men. Here are the reasons which make compliments important for men:

• Praise that genuinely appreciates the character and inner spirit of men helps in boosting their confidence and self-esteem
• Compliments from their partners show men that they are being admired for their efforts and gestures in a relationship
• Receiving praise from their loved ones can help men avoid feelings of insecurity
• Praises from their partners can help men maintain a long-lasting, healthy and prosperous relationship with them
• Men are as conscious of their physical appearance. Therefore, complimenting men on their looks allows them to be more courageous and creative in terms of how they dress or do their hairstyle
• Compliments remind men of why they were chosen by their partners and why their partners were attracted to them

Sure enough, men like to be complimented, they are ego boosters and instantly lift the mood. Plus they make your man feel appreciated and he feels like doing more. Now that you know everything there is to know about compliments for men, all that’s left to do is to find the courage and actually do it. You got this!
