Obligatory Formalities

Some people consider compliments just obligatory formalities and simple words which should be measured out in doses for women in order them not to get too proud of themselves. Such pragmatic, totally technical and utterly unromantic approach to compliments is hardly ever appropriate in most cases, of course.
Mostly, this opinion belongs to men who have difficulties with expressing their opinions towards female objects of their love and passion. It doesn't mean that these men's vocabulary is shamefully poor and they have no words in their reserves to express their women's beauty with (though this variant is quite possible as well), it's just that they consider it insincere to express appreciation with words.
Well, of course, it's very noble to express one's appreciation with actions and good intentions, but sometimes actions take much time to 'act out', and lovely words in between them noble actions are very pleasant for a woman to hear – just for a lovely change.
Men shouldn't consider compliments trivial (and often quite optional!) formalities, they should always remember one of the most important rules of communicating with ladies – women love with their ears which certainly implies making the most of all the 'obligatory formalities'.
The formalities-approach will lead a man nowhere for any woman longs to hear how beautiful she is, how amazingly she looks, how great she cooks and all possible pleasant things which can make her loving ears happy.
