Thank you Cristina Yang for saying how all women feel. A woman’s best feature isn’t her hair, her eyes, or her breasts. Everything beautiful about a woman comes from who she is as a person, which is a direct product of her brain.

Don’t get us wrong, women love to be complimented on their beauty, but I think I speak for all women when I say being complimented on our intellectual abilities and who we are as people is a far better compliment than any made about our physical features. Throughout history women have proven themselves just as capable as men in every respect, yet to this day the first things complimented or criticized about a woman usually have something to do with their physical appearance or sensitivity. I hate to break it to you, but everyone is sensitive whether they are a man or a woman. That being said, women are strong, capable, and smart, and they should be complimented for those qualities.

If you want to win a woman over compliment her on her person, her brain, and her prowess. You will not only impress her, but you will show her that you care about her past her beauty. Everyone wants to be appreciated for who they are, and women are no different. She wants to know that you care about her for who she is and what she is able to do for herself. Any woman worthwhile is more than just a pretty face or a nice body. As matchmakers, we understand the importance of going beyond superficiality in relationships. Look beyond her looks and understand her brain because this is the true way to her heart.
