Flattering Your Man Quiz Results
If you answered “yes” toto numbers 1, 2 and 3 — your guy is probably beaming pretty much all the time already.

How to praise and flatter your man
When you enhance your man’s positive self-esteem, you make it possible for him to love you more.

When you praise him, he’s reassured that he’s worthy of your love. He rises in status from lowly toad to, well, something better. That matters a lot to your guy! When you praise him in public — whoa! Now you’ve made it known to all that you think highly of him. Your praise doubles in value.
