So here we are… the weekend before Christmas! (Is it just me or did this sneak up faster that Kwame Kilpatrick at the all-you-can-eat Prison Pizza Buffet?) I’ve checked my list, and I’ve checked it twice and I realize that I’ve still got some serious shopping left to do.
While surfing the Internet for last-minute gift ideas, I wandered over to a news website and found a story that caught my eye. It ties in with Christmas… Sort of. Let me explain.
While a lot of us are wondering what we’ll be getting from that “special someone” in our lives - there are a lot of people out there who are missing the critical “special someone”! What to do? What to do? How can you impresse that good looking woman at the company Christmas party? That’s where the story I read comes in.
If you’re a single guy (or know one) listen up: The dating website Dadoo.com surveyed single guys around the world to find out what compliments work best on a woman. The results were pretty interesting!
- British women respond to compliments on their legs.
- German and Canadian ladies like comments about their skin.
- Dutch and Portuguese women go for a guy who praises their ears.
- For Spanish women… it’s all about complimenting their hair.
- American, Australian and Brazilian women prize compliments on their clothes.
But the number one best way to romance ANY WOMAN FROM ANY COUNTRY, dubbed “The Holy Grail of flirting” is to compliment… a woman’s lips!
— So if you compliment a Spanish woman who has hair on her lip you’re in-like-Flynn!
— German women are partial to their skin so remember to say “No!” if she asks, “Do these pants make my skin look big.”
— If you meet a Canadian woman, you’ll have to wait until July or August to compliment her skin since those are the only months she’s not covered in snow pants and a parka.
According to the survey, American woman like to be complimented on their outfits. Being a husband and father of six daughters, I decided to do my own little survey to see if they agreed. For fear of not getting any Christmas presents, I won’t mention any names, but here’s a rundown of what the seven women in my life like to be complimented on most (in no particular order):
Smile, Butt, Eyes, Lips, Legs, Hair, Being slender or fit, and having a cute nose and nice cheekbones.
(In my case I was lucky! I’ve always felt my wife Gail had the whole package! So when I met her, I had a lot to choose from!)
BTW, the girls all agreed that the worst thing a guy can compliment a women on is how good looking her friend is!
So there you have it… now you know what women want to hear under the mistletoe! And if we missed one, let us know!
Have a great weekend - the last weekend before Christmas! - and I’ll see you back here Monday.
