Women Want Compliments More Than Chocolate

Women Want

A survey commissioned by Appletiser reportedly showed that what women really want is the sun to come out - and a compliment.

The Daily Mail, reported that in a survey of 1,056 women, nearly two-thirds (64%) said that nice weather puts them in a sunny mood, and more than a third said that a compliment (41%) or a nice text message (35%) lifts their mood.

Just 11% of women said they would chose chocolate as a pick-me-up, and only 12% said shopping for clothes is the key to a good mood, reported Female First

According to The Sun, the survey also reported that of the British women aged 25 to 45 polled, only 15% said bedroom antics were the most likely activity to give them a lift.

I wish it was that easy.

Women want compliments yes but only from particular people. An ex-g used to tell me about a guy at her work who would compliment her and she was tired of it. She didn't want compliments from that guy. If they get compliments from a cute guy well then that's something altogether different. Men have to judge, based on non-verbal cues quite often, if women want to receive compliments.

Also, I don't know if I would word this article (1st paragraph) simply "what women really want." The article just asks if nice weather raises their spirits. What women ultimately want is more than the sun in the sky. Nice weather raises male spirits too, but what we really want is 1.too much to write here, and 2.different from man to man.

This bloke agrees with you. For any compliment to be worth something to the receiver it has to come from someone that she, at the very least, likes.
As for the sunshine well whose spirits in these wet isles wouldn't a bit of sun raise. Don't think has anything to do with anyone's libido, it simply makes us happy because we don't have to struggle with the weather as well as this government!

So basically, this article suggests that all women really want is a bit of attention and a kind word, yet most of the comments here are moaning about that?!

I think you've kind of answered your own questions about why women are so hard to please (as some of you here are claiming) - even when you learn how to make your partner happy, you still think it's asking too much.

Next time I'll write a compliment on a Thornton's chocolate present then, maybe that's where I was going wrong! :-/

Blimey, you're mixing with the wrong gals.

I know this. They are like monsters when it comes to compliments. They want more and more and if you don't give them enough you get hit with a spatula or get plates thrown at you. Not cool!

As my sons were growing older and showing an interest in females, I warned them that females have hormones bouncing around inside them that young men like themselves haven't even thought of, so beware.

No matter what I do I can't seem to please my wife. She was complaining about having to bend down all the time to pick up my discarded socks from the bedroom floor, so last Valentines day I bought her one of those "pick up" grabber things and she's never used it, what a waste of money !!

When I saw her I marveled greatly.

I know! I tried telling my wife she must have gotten so good at eating chocolate through all that practice.
21:10 on 23/04/2012
It seems like that would solve the problem! What more does she want from you? A robot that picks up socks? They don't even make those!

"You look like you could use some chocolate." -- I wonder how that would go down?

"You look like you shouldn't have any more chocolate." is better?
21:11 on 23/04/2012
I said you look like your face needs chocolate. She took it as you are in need of a tan. That is not what I meant!

Women only like compliments more than chocolate because a compliment is usually accompanied by a box of chocolates !!

I think most women want the package! Compliments, roses, pink champagne, and of course Chanel! But for me there are other things very important too, interests in common, cultural events, the arts, good conversation, good company, lots of laughter, as well as a sense of adventure! Oh I forgot, sticky buns!
