Of the following compliments, which would you want to hear the most?

As women, different things motivate us. A group of friends recently got together and starting comparing notes on compliments. One had recently been told that she was beautiful. She said that it made her day. Another said that she would prefer to hear that she is special.

Perhaps, different comments are appropriate at different times but, it got us thinking about what we most liked to hear. There doesn't seem to be a one size fits all.

What do you like to hear and why?

I love you (40.4%)

You're beautiful (23.8%)

You're smart (16.5%)

You're special (12.7%)

You're funny (6.5%)

    KNOWING I AM LOVED BY MY HUSBAND &, CHILDREN IS GREAT, BUT WHEN SOMEONE SAY'S YOUR SPECIAL.. IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT FEELING, NOT FOR MY LOOKS, OR BRAINS, OR BODY,, BUT THE WHOLE ME.

    I like hearing "You're Beautiful". To me, that covers all of the above. :)

    Beauty is ephemeral. I'd rather possess a quality less transitory, such as intelligence.
