I'm leaving this thread open for people to post their thoughts on complimenting women. Is it an important part of your game? And if so, what are the do/don'ts and when/hows for using them.
I see NEGs being talked about often, and they're absolute GOLD, but aren't compliments just as important at times

All feedback appreciated

I'd have to say no, by complimenting them you're raising them above your self when you should be doing the exact opposite. Just my opinion though.

I agree, they arent that important. Plus the girl will be fishing for them, if she gets one, she knows she has you. I think that a well worded neg can make it sound like you are giving them a compliment but as they hear it, they dont know to be offended or accept it.

I'm kinda new at this, but I'm sure you're supposed to compliment them with negs. Like, "That’s a nice dress you have on. I've been seeing allot girls wearing that lately. Where did you get that from?"

i really think compliments have value in conversation, i haven't really used any but i have got alot of feedback from girls saying i was mean because i only ever negged them. Maybe you could incorporate push pull into the compliment by saying something like "you're such a bitch but you know i really enjoy your company, you're great"
compliments on their own may sound afc, style says to compliment things no other guys would notice, this also may sound gay haha

They could always be valuable to use in the comfort stage I reckon. And yeah if you DID use them it'd work better in a push-pull situation and have to be for something other guys wouldn't notice. I myself have had a problem with too much negging aswell. The case seems to be that the hotter the chick is, the more negs you need to throw in. And what's wrong with letting your target know she has you at some point? Isn't that the whole point of phase-shifting from disqualification to qualification.

More thoughts would be great, PUAs

I rarley ever compliment

what i have noticed is

the less you compliment them the more they compliment you
and
the more they love/react to your compliments when you do

Yeah I've noticed that also, and I DO agree with you. The idea that I'm picking at however is that there IS a when and a how, and that some work while others don't.
My thoughts as I type this are:
-compliments should come from a place of non-neediness and not expecting a reaction
-should be used in the comfort or seduction phase of the pick up
-should make her genuinely feel good about herself and not like she's being hit on or has power over you (not what every other guy compliments her on to get into her pants)
-should be used solely for the benifit of comforting or arousing her

AND should be used WITH negs. If she DOESN'T respond well to your compliment, no big deal, just throw in another neg or disqualifier, who cares
