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 would prefer to be told that I am beautifil, because to me that mean beautiful inside as well as out and that shows me how much you love me in those few words

    I would like to hear I'm beautiful, because I'm very fortunate in my marriage to be told and shown how much I'm loved, and by my kids too, but the hubby doesn't tell me how I look hardly ever! It would be nice to have him stare into my eyes and tell me how I am beautiful to him!!! I do!!(tell him how sexy he is to me!!)

    If I hear "I love you" then I know that the other things are a part of it....so from my husband and family... "I love you" says it all!

    If someone said I was beautiful, I'd let them borrow my glasses. My dad tells me I'm a smart aleck so I know I'm smart. Not involved with anyone, so hearing "I love you" would seem so left field. I am funny and to me it goes hand in hand with I'm special but I like to hear it anyway.

    Being told I love you in my opinion is the highest form of flattery and it shows someone really cares.

    I love it when someone notices things about me that may not be immediately obvious, things that they have to get to know me a little bit more to really know. I'd rather hear smart once than beautiful 1000 times.

    I guess I am one of the lucky one's. My husband tells me all the time that I'm beautiful, he loves me and how smart I am. I think he mostly trying to "suck up" but I'll take it anyway. But to be called special is the ultimate as I have just recently become a stay at home mom after working for 20+ yrs.

    I love to tell people I Love You. It is very important to me to hear someone say I Love You and know they mean it.

    I don't hear I love you enough from the people I want to hear it from. But I try to say it as often as I can to them anyway!!

    Really it is a toss up between Ilove you and your beatiful they both mean alot to women.And they are the hardest things to get men to say on their own.
