●I was once in a relationship with a woman who was the most brilliant,creative and driven

person I'd ever known. I told her these things often because she didn’t see herself this way despite1)J achieving great success and acclaim(称赞)in her professional field. She was also

2)M gorgeous 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)L considered 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)B context 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)

I accessories 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)A appreciated 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)H complexion 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)O handsome or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a (n)9)D comment 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)F admiration. 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.

,男人通常走路非常困难。当然,环境很重要。在职业场合,谈论外表通常是不合适的,但在单身俱乐部,谈论外表可能很重要。如果一个男人认为她的衣服和饰品漂亮,或者她的头发漂亮,她会很高兴。然而,这两种情况之间的情况尚不清楚。妇女完全有权利因她们的智慧和创造力而受到承认和赞赏。但与此同时,他们也希望自己的外表也能让人羡慕,比如完美的肤色和优雅的着装。

,大多数人不明白这一点。如果我们收到女性的赞美,他们通常对我们的成就,不是我们的样子。我们中的大多数人都不希望女人告诉我们自己有多帅或多性感,而我们中的一些人会发现很难把这样的评论当成是真诚的。

就这两者的正确平衡而言,我们真的没有参照系,尤其是在外貌上。
