Since for some reason women get overly offended even when you try and compliment them we need a new method of compliment them.

you say: YOU HAVE A GREAT BODY, its a bit thicker
what they here: you have a great body, ITS THICKER!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Very common

also offensive words: thick, thicker, meaty, bigger, muscular.
not so offensive: skinny , twiggy

so heres a thought unless has some better ideas= DESCRIBE BODY TYPES WITH NUMBERS

" yeah, i like my women at about a 20%"



ehhh??? ehhh??? no?

just tired of offended women when im trying to give a compliment

    You can never say anything about a woman's body type without offending most I swear xD I have noticed this too!

    You don't have to throw in the "It's a bit thicker"
    How about just... "You have a great body"
    That's all I need to hear. You're not an expert, so you don't need to use adjectives :P

    rather than say "thicker" why not say "you look more toned"

    I don't want to be told "you look thick"

    i got the compliment "You look fantastic" from a complete stranger the other day...and he wasn't creepy looking, actually kinda cute.

    Don't try to decribe it, you can't win that way. Just a "you look great" works fine :)

    but if he was creepy then thats a stipulation too

    My husband believes most women are 98% crazy. I'm only 2% crazy in his opinion, but when that 2% flares up, watch out, so I'd stay away from the numbers and just say "you look great!" and leave it at that.

    Don't forget about "tight" as a positive. I like being told I have a tight body.

    Most of the words you'd like to hear describing your penis shouldn't be used to describe her body. :wink:

    Sorry, that some of us don't know how to take a compliment.

    I've gotten alot more laid back about compliments since I've lost weight though.

    I like the 20% thing though. If all women knew what you were talking about, I actually think it'd work... I think that's my nerdy side talking though. I like hearing numbers and specifics like that.
    Then again, you get women who get peeved about everything no matter what. I'll take whatever compliment I can get.

    Less is more. Keep it simple. Get a thesaurus...and look up other words for beautiful...like stunning, gorgeous, etc.

    And not just our looks but compliment other things like our intelligence or our outfits!!

    Actually, always compliment a woman's outfit. We take A LOT of time getting ready. We put a lot of thought into it. It would be nice to hear how sexy/beautiful/hot we look in it! Tell a woman she looks FANTASTIC!

    Just don't do it. Unless she asks you how she looks or if she gets dressed up/puts in effort. Other than that-just don't. At least that's my opinion. And only times I would want to hear anything on how I look.

    Someone once told me I looked very "robust." I know he meant it as a compliment, but not the sort one wants to hear!

    All these lovely descriptions.

    Personally I prefer to keep it simple:

    Doable
    Doggie
    Complete and total darkness

    This really made me think i really do always get offended when guys try and use descriptions in their compliments I agree with others that say just go with a "You have a great body"

    Not sure why you have to have categories.... are you an engineer?

    A simple "you're looking great" should please most women - just don't use a tone of surprise or shock - that can come across as "you're looking great, but you really didn't look great before".

    I think my message is that it's all about tone and context not just words. If that seems too hard, stick to "great to see you", it's a safer option!

    Men can't win. I will always second guess and misconstrue everything they say (or don't say!)...lol It has more to do with our own personal insecurities.


    I have been obsessed with making my shoulders smaller since this personal trainer told me I had broad shoulders.
    Later I learned that he thought it was very $exy...but I still feel self concious showing these shoulders off now...lol
