Those are awesome results, I’m glad you put so much effort into this! You’re spot on with your analysis too… Being spontaneous and in the moment and without any outcome dependence is definitely the best state to be in when meeting women.

That’s awesome that she gave you her number. I’m about to e-mail you some detailed tips and thoughts regarding the follow-up/phone-call (so I don’t go too off-topic here) but you want to continue with the same attitude and vibe. In this situation it shouldn’t matter when you call; she won’t forget you! Like I said, I’ll e-mail you some detailed tips very shortly.

Well done again,

Sam

I love your opening sentence… Complimenting other people definitely makes your own step lighter… that, and wearing dainty moccasins!

Haha that’s a funny story… It also shows that anything can be turned into a compliment if it is framed positively… which brings me on to my best compliment, which was a young teenager telling me I looked like a homeless man… which obviously meant I give off a free-thinking, at one with the world vibe!

Seriously though, all my best compliments come from my clients… or my girlfriend… or my mother!

Thanks for your comment beautiful tree,

Sam

The coolest compliment I’ve ever recieved was when an old german woman at a train station told me I looked like a tree. At first I thought it was a knock to my height, but then she explained in broken english that she meant “you are beautiful and your hair flows like the leaves.” Odd, and from any other person I might have assumed they were on something, but I kept smiling about it for the rest of the day. Creative, isn’t it?

You’re a creative bloke yourself for challenging people like this. What’s the coolest compliment you’ve recieved? Think harddd-”you’re bringing sexy back” doesn’t count.

That’s a lovely compliment to receive… thanks for sharing. Your analysis is spot on too! Elderly people come across as less threatening by default but it’s something everyone else can try and emulate too.

Thanks,

Sam

That’s a great attitude… You must be a lovely person to be around.

It’s great to comment on fashion and accessories like that as that’s probably the very reason that they are wearing those items in the first place! The knock-on effect is that they can then go off and spread the positivity to the people they meet too!

Thanks for your comment Leanne,

Sam

The answer to your first question is based on how comfortable you are doing this exercise. Ideally you want to make the compliments as spontaneous as possible so that you deliver them naturally and with sincerity.

Don’t put too much pressure to actively FIND people to compliment… If you just go about your daily routine with it in the back of your mind, you’ll spot opportunities I’m sure.

As for how long to do it for, well that’s entirely up to you. I actually think it should be something everyone incorporates into their lives as an ongoing thing (like Leanne suggests in the comment below) but as a specific activity, you’ll get a good idea of the effect it has on both you and the people you speak to after a week or two.

Let us know how it all goes,

The best compliment I have ever been given was an elderly man at a busstop who told me I have the most beautiful smile. I think the reason why it was so nice was because it was unexpected but also I think because he was elderly it seemed more sincere not cheesey.

Compliments really can make the difference between having a bad day and an amazing day so this is a wonderful task you advised your readers.

Thankyou.

Thanks for another great post Sam!
