Complimenting men and self-esteemįrom a psychological perspective, verbalizing heart-filled, genuine compliments is critical to male self-esteem. That’s not true for all guys but if I were placing bets on this in Vegas, I’d say that’s the case for most. But I’m here to say, just like anyone else, guys appreciate admiration.Īs a counselor specializing in men’s issues, I can’t tell you how many times a client has sat across from me in my office and said to me: I don’t know if my girlfriend likes me.Īnd because men are bred to not fish for compliments, they aren’t going to encourage them.
