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%)

    I found it hard to choose, so I chose "special" thinking it would cover more than one of those categories.

    I love to hear when someone thinks I am smart. When someone compliments my work it makes me feel good. I know that I am not beautiful so if someone were to say it I know they were just being nice.

    Beauty is exterior and interior, I hope I am able to develop beauty in both areas.

    being loved, and being told I,m loved enables me to be a more secure person-more willing to reach out to others

    I'd love to hear my husband say that he thinks I am beautiful, especially being nearly 8 months pregnant.

    I like to hear I love you from my husband of course, but also from my children. It makes me feel special more than my physical attributes or personality traits ever will.
