Okay, I know everyone loves to get compliments, right?

So what do you MOST want to be complimented for? And why, if you want to share that with us.

A. Your looks
B. Your mind
C. Your actions

An example of A is "You have a nice smile." or "That's a GREAT shirt!"

An example of B is "I like the way you think." or "You're pretty clever!"

An example of C is "Wow! You wrote that?" or "I didn't know you could paint!"



I would actually prefer B, but I more frequently get C, by about a 75-25 ratio. It's easier for people to read what I wrote than to understand the actual thought process that goes into it.

Its a toss up between B and C.. but C has the edge because no matter how smart or intelligent i may be i want to be able to do something worthwhile with it that people find impressive and helps someone, intelligence or wisdom alone benefits no one but me

I hate compliments about my appearance! My mind is ever soo much more important. Looks fade and I'd rather be appreciated for something that will stick til the end of time!


So if a guy walked up to you and said " You know. I think you have the most beautiful eyes..."

You'd be p*ssed at him for it??? lol

I've always been complimented for my mind...just because I'd rather be complimented on my looks doesn't mean I want to be treated like a piece of meat...

("I feel so used...")

hmmm

Something sincere...


...and preferably something about the who of me ...

It is nice if you like my painting ...but it is nicer if you are moved by them...

It is nice to like my smile ...but it is nicer if you feel lighter with me around ...

It is nice to appreciate my thought process and perspective ... but nicer if you are able to open to your own greatness by something I have shared...
