4. This new hairstyle makes you look younger
We all love being complimented when we have a certain change of look. It makes us feel a bit different, but in a good way, more confident, and more beautiful.
However, there are times when people try to compliment someone on their new look but end up pointing out how bad they used to look.
Instead of telling someone that their new hairstyle fits them so well and also makes them look a lot younger, it’s better to stick to the first part; there’s no need to elaborate, especially when it can make someone feel bad.
5. You look so good, why are you single?
The thing single people love the most is someone who constantly reminds them of their relationship status, right? Well, of course not.
As much as you want to make someone feel better about their love life by telling them how good they look, you’re actually making things worse.
That’s because you’re implying that they’re bad partners, so there might be something wrong with them that keeps them single.
As a rule of thumb, it’s best to not comment on someone else’s relationship status unless they are the ones who talk and bring up the conversation first.

6. You have a nice smile, you should smile more
This might come as a sincere and genuine compliment because you really want to see someone smile and be in a good mood, but some people don’t see it that way. They are more likely to understand that you don’t like their mood.
Even though this might not be your intention, it might be best to only say something like this to people you know very well and you have no doubt regarding the way they’ll react.

I’d be happy to hear this and take it as a compliment. For the person that is giving the compliment I can see that they are trying to share in my happiness. Especially if a wife says it. Don’t you want your wife to to be able to say anything she has thoughts or feelings about. When women talk about how they feel I have noticed there is no hidden agenda and they don’t b.s.
My wife of 58 years doesn’t try to make me guess what she’s thinking. She immediately tells me. No dancing around the issue. When she tells me something I believe her. I may not agree with what she is saying but I look into her eyes when she is telling me what she needs to at the moment. Especially when she is telling how I hurt her in some way. I never defend myself by telling her she is full of baloney or whatever. I take it like a man and tell her I will think about what she has told me and get back to her on it. Then I will think about it for an hour or two then get back to her. Nothing wrong with saying after thinking about what you told me earlier I realize how much I caused you pain. I will be more attentive in the future. Tell her you love her more than life itself. Don’t bring it up again. That is her pain not yours. Most important is to learn how to listen and just shut the hell up.
