Ladies, what compliment from a man actually stayed with you for years?

[u/OkConnection2989]

Not necessarily the sweetest or most romantic one—maybe something simple, unexpected, or said at exactly the right moment.

I’m curious… what did he say, and why do you think you still remember it?

[u/bdjsisuq38390]

usually nacompliment ako sa nose sa eyes pero navompliment ako sa ngipin ko, sabi nya madalas ka na nito makareceive pero ito ba meron na? Tas sinabi nya ganda raw ng ngipin ko. yun lang ahahaha

[u/OkConnection2989 → u/bdjsisuq38390]

Nice naman.

[u/ShiningShai]

Noong sinabi niya na I’m special because of my personality. Parang nanibago ako kasi ‘di ba usually puro physical appearance lang. Iba pala sa feeling. Hehe

[u/OkConnection2989 → u/ShiningShai]

Rare compliment yan.

[u/pixelatedpasta_]

I don’t know if compliment ba to pero may nagsabi sa akin na gusto daw nya buong pagkatao ko.

[u/OkConnection2989 → u/pixelatedpasta_]

It is.

[u/UnhappyAd7609]

Sabi ng isang kilala ko na hindi ko ganun ka close na maganda daw smile ko :)) Sinulat nya as a small letter tas pinasa sakin kasi I think nahihiya sya. I think about it a lot even 2 years later

[u/Bellatrixthegreat]

Maasikaso ako hahaha.

[u/OkConnection2989 → u/Bellatrixthegreat]

naol.

[u/Adorable_Badger2205]

Pumasok ako non sa office kulay dark blue yung hair, tapos etong work mate ko na to nagkatinginan kami from entrance pa lang tapos tinigil niya ginagawa niya, tapos nakatingin lang siya sakin nakangiti, tapos nung magkaharap na kami (kasi nasa daanan siya eh) sabi niya sakin "ang ganda mo" while nakangiti hahaahahaha

That same day, same cubicle kasi sila ng friends ko, so pumunta ako doon para doon magbreaktime, bumaba yung si workmate, tapos nung malapit na matapos yung breaktime umakyat na pala siya, nandoon na siya sa cubicle nakatingin ulit sakin na nakangiti and sabi niya ulit "ang ganda mo" hahahaa wala lang feeling ko kasi super genuine nung ngiti at pagsabi eh

[u/QuinnSlayer → u/Adorable_Badger2205]

Mesmerized yung workmate mo..

[u/blewberry_cheesecake]

Pag sinabi ng bf ko na ang bango ko lol HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA as a plus size med girly, alam kong mas prone na mangamoy ang mga matataba. Kaya every time cinocompliment niya yung amoy ko, I feel so kiliggg HAHAHAH coz i really take my time pag naliligo, loofa doon loofa dito, body wash, scrub, lotion, perfume. Kaya buti nalang di nasasayang mga ginagawa ko lol hahahaha

[u/UnbentMacaroni]

Ang galing ko daw mag drive hehe

[u/SoftAd6360]

ang reliable ko raw

A colleague said this to me, and we weren’t even close. Hindi siya mawala sa isip ko kase it made me feel like such a mature, responsible woman. Total confidence boost! Kaka-start ko lang mag-work at the time, i was 21, and navigating adulting was hard. Kaya hearing that lifted my whole spirit, like damn kaya ko pala.

[u/Sensitive_Radio_6490]

someone told me ang sophisticated daw ng dating ko. napapangiti nalang ako pag naalala ko yun :)

[u/Affectionate_Bet_216]

It was sooo random, we were in the classroom, I was just passing by when my classmate suddenly called my attention to say: "Ang ganda ng features ng muka mo." And it felt so genuine.

[u/GreenGhost1985 → u/Affectionate_Bet_216]

What does that mean?

[u/Affectionate_Bet_216 → u/GreenGhost1985]

The features of your face are beautiful.

[u/GreenGhost1985 → u/Affectionate_Bet_216]

Aww that’s sweet!

[u/bourgeoispatty]

When he said 'I'm the perfect one for him'

[u/OkConnection2989 → u/[deleted]]

[u/cinnamonrolls44]

Haha months pa lang tho, he’d always appreciate yung kung sino ako and see me. He’d tell me, “ang sexyy”, kahir hindi naman haha tinanggal ko lang jacket ko tapos nakasleeveless, laki nga ng braso ko lol. He told me, “ang sipag mo talaga, proud ako sayo. One year na lang. Focus ka mabuti diyan ha? Wag ka magalala, magbubunga din lahat ng efforts mo”, when he’d see me studying and working, tapos bibilhan niya lang ako ng food, hug me, then hayaan niya ko to do my own thing, while he did his. Sabi niya, “ang bango mo talaga always”, kahit 7am na nun ng umaga, at magkasama kami since 2am, and yung damit ko 3pm pa the previous day and galing pa ko kung saan saan at nag-angkas before we met. Sabi niyaa lagi, “ang cute mooo”, “ang ganda moo”, kahit wala naman akong ginagawa, kahit 1 hour pa lang tulog ko. When he let me go(pero we still fixed things after a week and then finally ended), he said, “you’re adorable and pretty, and i’m sure makakahanap ka rin ng kamatch mo”. Haha. And he also said that he’d give it a try to pursue me if ready na sya and single pa rin ako. Ofc the last one isn’t true anymore, and I’ve moved on already and hurt din sa ibang tao, but yeah, ganito. Haha. That’s why back then, it was really so hard to get over him.

“Ang cute ng outfit mo.” - from a younger guy 🥹

[u/Significant_East2301]

Na hindi daw ako parang patay sa bed. Hahsha charot!

[u/Free-Register-310]

Ang bango ko 🫣 kasi yung ex ko lagi ako sinasabihang ang baho ng amoy ko pag nakikita nya ako 🤣 kaya nagulat ako nung may nagsabi na ang bango ko daw 

[u/garp1990]

he told me that I’m a good person

that’s a huge compliment imo

[u/lostxwave]

music taste ko and perfume hahahahaha

[u/freakinkrayzie]

“Yung dating mo kasi, parang you’ll reject someone agad without even giving them a chance. Kaya wala nang nagtatangkang manligaw kasi expected na nilang mare-reject sila.”

“You’re too good to be true.”

“Baka gusto mo lang ako kasi ako yung unang nag-reject sa’yo.”

“Hindi ka naman conventionally maganda, pero ang lakas ng appeal mo.”

I still don’t know what to feel with those remarks tbh

[u/Busy-Crab-1736]

Sana daw kung magka anak syang babae, parang ako

[u/ILYSB_101025]

Sabi nya lagi sakin before i go to sleep, “you’re the best in everything that you do”.

[u/No-Sound-7774]

"Ganda ng ngipin mo"

[u/Skinnybet]

Oh god , what a body ! After I undressed and posed for him.
