Blog – Are Women Becoming Immune To Compliments

There was a time where you would tell a woman she was beautiful and it meant something. She would appreciate your words and it would brighten her entire day, maybe even her week. There was a time that women adored hearing nice things from their significant other more than anything in the world. Is it possible that there are a new breed of women who don’t want to be complimented?

While on Twitter yesterday a young lady sparked a discussion. She talked about having a significant other and not liking when he compliments her. She said that if she was to change her hair, she doesn’t need him to acknowledge it, that’s not what she did it for. She says that she has plenty of strangers on instagram who compliment her and after a while it becomes redundant.

How far off have we become when the thirst from strangers trump genuine love from your significant other? If I were to change my hair, I would hope that the love of my life would pay enough attention to me to notice and when he does notice, I’d love to know what he thought of it. It’s not to boost my ego. In fact, my ego doesn’t get boosted by any one person’s observation of my looks. It’s more about knowing that you did something and someone you care about cares enough about you to show that they appreciate it, even if you didn’t do it for them. Is it such a new day now that we log on to our computers and wait for men to tell us about all the sexual things they’d like to do to us and not appreciate the men who actually can do those things for us? To be honest, I’d rather have the thirst of a man who has already gotten into my panties than the thirst of those who are just trying to do the same.

I will be the first to say that maybe I completely misinterpreted what the young lady meant, and that’s why I have you guys. Is it possible to ever get tired of getting compliments, especially from your significant other? Is there a such thing as too much?
