I told her these things often because she didn't see herself this way, despite 1)______great success and acclaim(称赞)in her professional field. She was also 2)______and sexy, though she seemed not to realize this either, so I told her these things too. But while I thought it was more important to praise her brilliance, it seemed to mean more to her that she was 3)______attractive. My experience with this girlfriend exemplifies a common phenomenon in life-when it comes to complimenting a woman, men often walk a very difficult line. Of course, 4)______matters. In a professional setting, talking about appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, it may be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her clothes and 5)______are pretty, or her hair looks wonderful. However, things in between these two cases are unclear. Women have every right to be recognized and 6)______for their intelligence and creativity. But at the same time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skin 7)______and elegant outfits. Unfortunately, most guys don't understand this. If we receive compliments from women, they're usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don't expect a woman to tell us how 8)______or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a(n) 9)______as sincere. I'm not saying it's very hard to be a guy these days. It is important for every man to understand how to treat women with both respect and 10)______. But as far as the right balance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when it comes to looks.
