This Question is for girls.

So girls you say you love compliments, but why is it that evertime i compliment a girl either while talking or texting they seem to brush it of like they don't care. I mean it's like i say a compliment about there hobbies or there intrests not just looks and i get the same response nothing but just a polite look and then they continue talking.. why do girls act like these i know from experience and seeing other couples that girls just brush it off,,,WHY?

nobody has suggested you may be meeting the wrong girls. I dont think you should ''stop being so nice'', it is who you are and you shouldnt have to change you for anyone. try to listen to them a bit longer before you compliment them and see if that makes a difference, you might know more about them before you make a nice remark then and it might impress them more. other than that, all I can say is I wish there were more guys like you in my town, as you sounds like a caring and sensitive guy, which is not to be confused with being ''soft'', or ''a wuss''. good luck x

TrancedRhythmEar agony auntcause it shows ur a butt kisser trying to get their approval. Its wussy behavior. Women prefer to be teased politely. Do not and i mean do not compliment women they know they can be hot or talented or whatever. Tgis may seem illogical but read read read on women psychology n books on attraction. Good luck. Stop being nice.

Honeypie agony auntBecause most girls find it awkward. Doesn't mean they don't appreciate the compliment, some of the time. They just might not know how to react and why they are getting the compliment.

You said and I quote;"

but why is it that evertime i compliment a girl either while talking or texting they seem to brush it of like they don't care."

Also, even if giving a compliment is nice, you are ACTUALLY interrupting a conversation. Which is kind of rude. Most likely they are wonder why you felt a need to give your opinion. Specially if they don't know you or don't know you that well.

Use your manners. :)

A lot of girls brush it off because they either have really low self esteem or get too flustered to accept them. When people compliment me, I can never seem to find the right way to thank them, so I either try to compliment them back, or get all embarrassed and don't know what to say.

Also, don't just interrupt them from talking if all you're going to do is compliment them.

And don't make it sound like you're flirting, because a lot of guys do that and sometimes it gets tiring.

Maybe try nicely complimenting her for no reason, out of the blue, randomly and see what happens and if she completely ignores you, just ask her why.

It can't be that bad, some girls are just shy. (:

Well, first of all, most girls don't really know how to react to compliments. They get a little confused and sometimes embarrassed. Especially shy girls. Second of all, girls are aware that lots of guys have ulterior motives for giving compliments, so they don't take them too seriously, aka don't really believe them. And last but not the least, lots of girls struggle with self esteem and feel bad about themselves, so they don't think it is possible that the guy really means it.
