Summary
Do you ever watch ‘90s and ‘00s romcoms and wish dating still had that playful, flirty banter that seems to have disappeared with the rise of dating apps?
Well… let’s bring back the art of flirting!
I recently asked my male Instagram followers to share the most meaningful compliment they’ve ever received and why it stayed with them.
The responses were eye-opening. Many men said they rarely receive compliments and one even said he’d never been complimented in his life. Which means when a man does receive a compliment, it can genuinely stay with him for years and create a real emotional connection with the person who said it.
The answers were incredibly wholesome, so I grouped the most common themes into three key categories.
If you want a simple way to stand out to a man you’re into—whether you’ve just started dating or you’ve been together for years—listen to this episode and let me know your thoughts at podcast@matthewhussey.com.

| 0:08.0 | You'll know that we have been digging into nuanced topics in modern dating |
| 0:12.0 | because there has never been more contradictory information out there about finding love and keeping it. |
| 0:18.0 | But today, I wanted to go back to basics and have a little fun. So today's |
| 0:23.4 | video is a wholesome little romp through the mind of men. I asked my 2.4 million followers on |
| 0:30.3 | Instagram to DM me with one of their favorite compliments that they have ever received from a |
| 0:36.4 | woman they have dated. One that stuck. The answers |
| 0:40.4 | came pouring in and they reminded me of why I love men. They were sweet and vulnerable. So I have taken |
| 0:47.4 | these responses and put them in chronological order in terms of when is the right time to give them in |
| 0:52.3 | dating. And I will be serving them up to you today |
| 0:55.4 | as a delectable three-course compliment tasting menu. By the way, I'm Matthew Hussey. I've |
| 1:02.3 | been helping people with their love lives and relationships for almost 20 years, and I've learned a lot in the |
| 1:06.7 | process. I share it here on this channel, so if you feel inclined to give me a compliment today, |

| 1:22.3 | above a bodega. One day, she was at the shop paying for some groceries and she said to the clerk, |
| 1:26.9 | I like your hoodie. That color looks great on you. The next time she went in, she noticed he had the |
| 1:32.3 | same hoodie on over a t-shirt. And then the next time she went in, he was wearing it again. |
| 1:37.6 | And then the next time and the next one. And eventually she said to him, I see you love that hoodie a lot. |
