Common compliments like 'you look good' have lost their value and meaning. To leave a lasting impression, give compliments that are specific and meaningful. Categories of compliments include masculinity, character, leadership, and hidden traits. Complimenting a man's masculinity can make him feel secure and draw him to you. Complimenting his character sets him apart and shows that you are into him. Complimenting his ability to lead shows trust and support. Complimenting his hidden traits, rather than just his talent, makes it more meaningful.
