Can Complimenting a woman get old?

[collegeteenm19]

Can women just start to get so use to hearing the compliments so often that eventually they dont have the effect they use to? Im just wondering because I happen to like complimenting my lady lol, and Im just wondering if after a while of me saying all these wonderful things that she's going to get so use to hearing them that they wont make her feel the same way they did when I first started to say them, and also, Im worried that everytime I say a really great compliment that I wont be able to top it or say a better one in the future. Any advice from anyone on this? Or if you do compliment the girl all the time, is there any advice on how to get the girl to feel as special from your compliments as she use to when you started? Ladies feel free to answer this thread as well, Im looking for any input from everyone

Yes, it's possible for a person to get used to compliments, but I think (providing they're genuine) they always have the effect of making both the giver and receiver feel good, so it's really a non-issue.

Im just wondering because I happen to like complimenting my lady lol, and Im just wondering if after a while of me saying all these wonderful things that she's going to get so use to hearing them that they wont make her feel the same way they did when I first started to say them, and also, Im worried that everytime I say a really great compliment that I wont be able to top it or say a better one in the future.

It's great you enjoy complimenting her, and I'm sure she appreciates it and feels very special. Again, I wouldn't worry about her getting accustomed to them, though you might want to focus on giving really good, specific compliments because those are the better than a bunch of general ones, in my opinion.

If you're saying them for mostly her benefit and from the heart, you shouldn't fret about topping yourself. Women are especially good at picking up on sincerity and selflessness, no matter how it's packaged (some of the most meaningful compliments I've received were genuine, but very awkward, and that's what made them so special, not what exactly was said).

If you're concerned about sounding like a broken record, try to think more specific (e.g. telling her how you're noticing how her eyes sparkle when she laughs instead of how beautiful she is), complimenting other areas (maybe how she makes you feel or her mind), and expressing it in different ways (write a note, a little gift, doing something that takes thought, time and effort).

Any advice from anyone on this? Or if you do compliment the girl all the time, is there any advice on how to get the girl to feel as special from your compliments as she use to when you started?

My husband gives specific compliments infrequently, but when he does, they are genuine and incredibly special. I have a friend who gives general and specific compliments constantly, but I know everything he says is completely genuine and an expression of his feelings for me, and they all hold the same value. The ONLY time I've taken issue with compliments is when I've recognized they were only said to try to get me to do something.

So, essentially, you can't go wrong with most women as long as she's responding well, they're specific, genuine, there's variety, and they're not said every few minutes in stalker-fashion or just because you want something.

I'll be the first to admit I love recieving compliments (don't we all? lol). But sometimes it does kind of bug me if someone keeps repeating the same compliment over and over to the point it feels fake, or like that is the only reason they like me. My advice would be to keep them in moderation and be very genuine when you do say them.

ps. your partner sounds lucky to be getting so many
