Pretty far, research suggests. In fact, according to one study, praise helps people to believe in themselves and motivates them to succeed. Studies conducted in the workplace conclude that six expressions of praise for each criticism significantly increase productivity.<br /> <br /> So why can’t this same logic apply to love relationships? The answer is, it can—and should.<br /> <br /> So get the positive energy flowing in your relationship with these 30 flattering phrases your partner really wants to hear:<br /> <br /> 1. You make me feel beautiful. This compliment is effective because you’re telling your partner how you feel — and that it’s a direct result of something he’s doing.<br /> <br /> 2. I really admire the way you handled that. Genuinely complimenting a man’s judgment, abilities and integrity is a major ego-booster.<br /> <br /> 3. This meal you cooked is delicious! People want to feel that their efforts are appreciated, so even if it’s the third meal he’s cooked this week, don’t take it for granted.<br /> <br /> 4. My friends/family love spending time with you. Acceptance within a relationship is crucial, and that extends to your inner circle too. He’ll appreciate that the people who love you recognize him as someone you value.<br /> <br /> 5. You’re hilarious! Sure, he may get it from the way you laugh hysterically at what he does, but it doesn’t hurt to tell him how much he makes you giggle too. All guys know that humor is one of the keys to charming a woman, and he’ll be tickled to know he’s got that in the bag.<br /> <br /> 6. I always feel safe with you. Men are wired to protect their partners, so reaffirm this by reminding him that it’s working.<br /> <br /> 7. You’re so $exy/good-looking. Guys don’t receive compliments about their looks and s*x appeal as often as women do, and just like women, they can be insecure about their looks. So when he gets a compliment like this from you — the person he wants to be craved by most — it’ll be that much more meaningful.<br /> <br /> 8. I need your advice. This subtle yet powerful compliment appeals to your partner’s desire to be needed by you — without you being needy, of course.<br /> <br /> 9. That girl was totally checking you out. He’ll love the fact that he’s being checked out and he’ll be turned on that you’re confident enough to point it out without being jealous.<br /> <br /> 10. I love it when you [fill in the blank]. This not only reinforces behaviors you truly enjoy, but it confirms to him that what he’s doing is pleasing you — and that means in or out of the bedroom.<br /> <br /> 11. Can you open this jar? Sure, you may do CrossFit, and he may think that’s hot. But once in a while, it’s a turn-on for a guy to know his manliness comes in handy.<br /> <br /> 12. You’re an amazing dad/brother/friend: Let your partner know that you recognize the other relationships in his life in addition to his relationship with you, and that you’ve observed how special he is to those people too. He trusts your judgment and will be genuinely flattered to hear it.<br /> <br /> 13. You’re fearless! Again, genuine compliments that appeal to his manhood will make him beam with pride.<br /> <br /> 14. I really respect you. When you tell a guy that you have respect for him, you’re appealing to him right where he lives. A man thrives on knowing he has your respect and that he’s a top priority in your life.<br /> <br /> <br /> 15. Wow — you really have been working out. He’s making the effort to look hot, so show him you notice. It’ll make him feel great and motivate him to keep it up!s judgment, abilities and integrity is a major ego-booster.

Ladies 7 things you most do before going to bed

As a beautiful lady you can’t allow yourself to skip your bedtime beauty routine no matter how tired you are.<br /> Fortunately, there aren’t too many things you really need to do keep your skin healthy, and using a bunch of serums, creams and fancy products doesn’t have to be part of your routine.<br /> <br /> Here are 7 things you should do before sleep to wake up looking refreshed and beautiful:<br /> <br /> <strong>1. Wash off your makeup</strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong> <img alt="Black woman wiping face with cotton pad" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193309" height="364" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.gltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/vllkyt4edj3ffgmff.225e8b5a_gltrends.com_.jpg?resize=640%2C376" width="619" /><br /> <br /> Sleeping in your makeup is a sure way to wake up with some pimples, skin irritation, fine lines and wrinkles. Sleeping with mascara on can actually result in broken eyelashes if you rub your eyes at night or when you wake up in the morning.<br /> <br /> No matter how tired or lazy you feel, take off your makeup in order to wake up looking fresh and beautiful.<br /> <br /> <strong>2. Take a bath</strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNJ3yGZWO_WcxF2f2Pg9cZ6cPs4kqx7tbWdZUsjlsItAC73-lVdtVaFOXinD-_QnOrWeR4DgWna1qmpXH4rNOaNBISKVyAW7ZMKXMsFOgYPCI6_yV1NncmM9S783pfNbJi7E3PFBoO_0/s1600/Take+bath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNJ3yGZWO_WcxF2f2Pg9cZ6cPs4kqx7tbWdZUsjlsItAC73-lVdtVaFOXinD-_QnOrWeR4DgWna1qmpXH4rNOaNBISKVyAW7ZMKXMsFOgYPCI6_yV1NncmM9S783pfNbJi7E3PFBoO_0/s400/Take+bath.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> One of the things everyone wants to do once they are home is to relax. There are many ways to fight stress before bed. Some drink a glass of wine, while others watch their favorite TV shows. Those are unhealthy ways that can make you look even more tired in the morning.<br /> <br />  Taking a warm bath before you sleep helps you to relax and sleep better so you will definitely wake up beautiful in the morning.<br /> <br /> <strong>3. Use a facial cleanser</strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong> <img alt="sleep6" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193311" height="335" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.gltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/vllkyt243utl74e9o.0d42b2d4_gltrends.com_.jpg?resize=493%2C335" width="493" /><br /> Once you remove your makeup, use a facial cleanser to remove any dead skin, dirt and sweat.<br /> Facial cleansers are different than soap, so buy a product designed specifically for cleansing the delicate skin on your face. Pick a facial cleanser that’s right for your skin type.<br /> <br /> <strong>4. Brush your teeth</strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi799Q0J8vKLsBq589GMhZG4EBOHib1rfncCQcJ6hASOs6q0HFK9BLdGwYIxdQ652yjSzjncOfv6X471r81jt6wCdg73R9aYPRuDsST-oS1BvbV4hhEMSCZo83oGvDtBUwBflSCQdgHeCA/s1600/Take+bath+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi799Q0J8vKLsBq589GMhZG4EBOHib1rfncCQcJ6hASOs6q0HFK9BLdGwYIxdQ652yjSzjncOfv6X471r81jt6wCdg73R9aYPRuDsST-oS1BvbV4hhEMSCZo83oGvDtBUwBflSCQdgHeCA/s320/Take+bath+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Studies repeatedly show that not brushing teeth before bed can lead to some serious health issues, including heart disease. It sounds like a good reason to brush your teeth regularly.<br /> <br /> <strong>5. Apply moisturizer or facial lotion</strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1_Xj4I2QuqmYVg4Rmfw4VmChpbJGG-Q73d4YiOgqEstnNEDJI90zhAM5ZB3fkEm54NgSJ8W5ZZb4tpxekPOJh_PG0wJqOIwpo3gUC7mMCRHN3KjnOhQhNsBMgT5_CoaKV6-Tnk-qPWb8/s1600/take+bath+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1_Xj4I2QuqmYVg4Rmfw4VmChpbJGG-Q73d4YiOgqEstnNEDJI90zhAM5ZB3fkEm54NgSJ8W5ZZb4tpxekPOJh_PG0wJqOIwpo3gUC7mMCRHN3KjnOhQhNsBMgT5_CoaKV6-Tnk-qPWb8/s320/take+bath+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Apply a thin coating of a quality moisturizer or face lotion to your skin to help keep it free. A good quality moisturizer can even help to make fine lines and wrinkles less visible.<br /> <br /> Everyone can benefit from a regular moisturizer. Look for a moisturizer that’s made for your skin type. This is especially important if you have very dry skin or acne-prone skin.<br /> <br /> <strong>6. Meditate</strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong> <a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.gltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/vllkyt2vkgh0q9s19.44afde0e_gltrends.com_.jpg?resize=333%2C386" imageanchor="1"><img alt="sleep4" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193314" height="386" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.gltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/vllkyt2vkgh0q9s19.44afde0e_gltrends.com_.jpg?resize=333%2C386" width="333" /></a><br /> <br /> Yes, meditation is one of those things that can help you wake up looking amazing. Meditation helps get rid of negative thoughts and prepare for sleep. You would fall asleep calm and happy and wake up feeling great and looking beautiful.<br /> <br /> <strong>7. Wear your hair down</strong><br /> <br /> You might think it’s better to hold your hair back while you sleep, but keeping it down is actually better.  Experts say that as you move around, the elastics can tear and damage your hair.

He has trouble expressing his feelings.<br /> <br /> If he doesn’t ask about something that’s important to you, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an insensitive guy. It probably means that he is uncomfortable talking about emotions. Forgive him for that. You’ve been conditioned to express your emotions your whole life. He hasn’t.<br /> <br /> So, help him out. For example, tell him you’d like to talk about something challenging that happened that day. Ask if it’s a good time to talk. And tell him what you want from him. If you just want him to listen, tell him. If you want problem solving, tell him. Men’s default setting is to fix. It can drive women crazy. So if you don’t want him to fix the problem, just ask him to listen and maybe even hold your hand or give you a hug.<br /> <br /> 2. You feel he takes you for granted.<br /> <br /> If you’ve showered him with home-cooked meals, gifts, and your unconditional love before you’ve established a relationship, don’t be surprised if he starts to take you for granted.<br /> <br /> I once dated a guy who brought me an over-the-top gift on our first date. On the second date, he cooked a three-course meal. On the third date, he cooked again, and when he saw how much I liked what he made, he went out and bought some for me to take home to my kids. I was uncomfortable taking, taking, taking before there was a relationship.<br /> <br /> So, ladies, if you want to make his favorite Peruvian duck with chocolate mousse for dessert, wait until you’re in a relationship. As a woman, you define your value by receiving and allowing, not by giving and doing. Show a good man that you’re a woman of value, and don’t give unconditionally before there’s a relationship.<br /> <br /> 3. He doesn’t open up.<br /> <br /> Forgive a guy who grunts one-word answers to your questions. If you want him to open up, ask an open-ended question, not a closed question where “yes” or “no” are the only answers.<br /> And remember that a lot of men are not long-winded. They don’t embellish when they talk. They tend to speak in ‘headlines’, while women tell stories with lots of side bars. So, when you’re communicating with a man, make sure to speak in language he can follow. Bottom line your story, and save the juicy details for your girlfriends.<br /> <br /> 4. He doesn’t know how to comfort you.<br /> <br /> Most men are great at problem-solving. They like to fix things. So when you’re upset and he doesn’t know how to comfort you, he’s at a loss without the tools to fix the problem. He will probably become frustrated and shut down.<br /> <br /> When I was in my twenties, I went cross-country with my boyfriend. By the third day, I felt like I had made a huge mistake. He was ignoring me most of the time, and that night, as we sat around our campfire, I was crying. He asked if I had a cold. I couldn’t believe how insensitive he was. Didn’t he know I was upset? I was mortified, embarrassed, but I didn’t have the words to express myself back then like I do now.<br /> <br /> If you’re upset, please tell him how you’re feeling and what you need. He will love knowing how to make you happier, but he can’t read your mind. Men are terrible guessers. So, don’t leave a guy for not knowing how to comfort you.<br /> <br /> 5. He doesn’t listen.<br /> <br /> Women complain that men don’t listen. Men complain that women don’t listen. One of the biggest issues in relationships is that men and women don’t listen to each other.<br /> Why do women often think that men don’t listen? Probably because he’s in the middle of a task when you’re talking to him. Most men are single-task oriented, while women are better at multi-tasking.<br /> Forgive him for being focused on one task when you want him to hear you. He’s probably not ignoring you. It’s just the way his brain works. So, check in with him, and make sure he’s done with that task and is open to listening before beginning a conversation. That way, you’ll be able to get his full attention.<br /> <br /> 6. He shuts down when you’re upset.<br /> <br /> It can be very challenging when a man withdraws when you’re angry at him. But, let’s turn it around for a moment and take a closer look at how you behave when you’re angry. Do you express yourself easily, or do you hold in your anger, accommodating him even though you’re pissed off, suppressing your needs until you’re ready to implode?<br /> <br /> If you often withhold your feelings and then accuse or rage, he’ll probably get defensive or shut down. Can you blame him? He’s bracing for an attack.<br /> Forgive a man for becoming defensive or shut down when you react or attack or blame, and learn better communication skills when your feelings are hurt. Address the issues when they come up, when they’re still small, before they become so big you can’t take it anymore. Of course, if you do consistently express yourself well, and he still gets defensive or shuts down, that’s a reason to leave him.<br /> <br /> When the attraction is strong and hormones are coursing through your body, it’s easy to dismiss red flags. Keep your eyes open, especially at the start of a relationship, and separate out the true character flaws from minor infractions.<br /> <br /> <br /> Most of all, know your value. The high value woman who can clearly communicate her values and relationship standards through her actions and words attracts the highest value men and has the healthiest, most loving relationship.
