Flattery Will Get You EVERYWHERE
I like to be flattered. Who doesn’t? Being told I am pretty by anyone other than a salesman trying to sell me hand cream at the mall can make my day.
But let me tell you a few things about women like me... [I suspect the same is true for some men, but I am not a man, so you’ll have to chime in and let me know.] We like to be told that we are pretty, but what we like even MORE is to be told that we are valuable, smart and important.
So, if you are in a position to identify specifically WHY someone you are talking to is any of those things, you should find a way to express it.
