How to Boost a Man's Ego

Everyone likes to have their egos stroked every now and then. Men often like this type of affirmation, especially in the dating scene where they may need some validation that you find them attractive. You can do several things to boost a man's ego that don't involve lying or deceit.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Listen to him. Look him in the eyes when you talk to him. Stop want you're doing--eating, cleaning--to give him your full attention when he talks to you. Actually listen to what he says and don't fake interest.

2. Give him the option to pay for a dinner. Men, even if they don't admit it, like to feel like they're good providers. Allow him the chance to pay for the meal instead of pouncing on the check like the self-reliant woman you may be.

3. Make him feel smart. However, it does not mean acting like you're denser than a rock. It means that don't jump to correct him if he says something incorrect grammatically or doesn't get some irrelevant tidbit of information quite right.

4. Compliment him. This compliment doesn't need to be anything highly sexual, but if you like his shirt, let him know. If he picked the location of the date and you're having a really great time, then share these feelings with him. If you genuinely like his vehicle, say so.

5. Take time to make yourself look nice. Every man likes to know that you think him important enough to get dressed up for every now and then when you go out with him. You don't to go to extremes, but every man likes to be around a woman who cares for herself and who he thinks is pretty.

6. Let him know he's doing things right when it comes to kissing and sex. If you like what he's doing, then be sure to let him by actually saying, "That feels good," or letting your body language do the talking for you.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't give false compliments simply because you think it'll make him feel good.
