In that sense, when I took on the vow that my wife wrote about in this story, my main thought was initially, "what a good idea." I think I have an agreeable personality and I take satisfaction from making my wife feel good about herself, why not collect that same emotional reward from others if I can make them feel good about themselves.
Over time, as I became better at delivering compliments and developed more empathy with what would make a recipient feel good, it made me feel really good that I had produced this positive change in myself. I think most women are better at paying compliments then most men, because men too often look at compliments as a throw-away line or a way to get attention. Women are often better at being empathetic and understanding that a compliment is about the recipient, not the giver.
I found for myself that my success in delivering a compliment improved when I adopted what might be described as a more feminine mind-set. My satisfaction was then the recipient's happiness being reflected back to me. My reward when I perfectly struck a chord was a big smile, a hug or some other tangible sign that I had made a person's day.
I suppose this differs from some men who might do or say some of the same things as I do with the hope of "attracting chicks" or something like that. My recently gained experience is that most women know the difference. Actually, more accurately, women will see right through a "smoothie" but be faintly intrigued by a guy who can pay a sincere compliment. Indeed, some women don't seem to know what to do with a sincere compliment from a guy as they are so used receiving "lines."
My wife wrote, " He was being complimentary to women because they deserved complimenting. He was making women feel better about themselves with no direct prospect of sexual gain other than from the knowledge that I might reward his efforts. To stretch a point, he was submitting to other women to please me and by pleasing me he was pleasing himself."
I think there is much truth to this. I did pay compliments because compliments were deserved. I do enjoy making women feel better about themselves and never have any desire for sexual gain by doing so. I know my wife loves it when I do this around her and I know my own sexual gratification derives from pleasing her in any number of ways, so in that sense, what she said is right.
Where I differ is that I don't regard paying a sincere compliment as "submitting to other women" to please her. I think of paying compliments as mainly projecting kindness to those around me, a way of bringing a person up. The fact that such behavior is rewarded within our relationship might be one of many reasons why paying a compliment makes me feel good, but I don't think I would stop if that changed (although I hope it never does).
As to the sex that weekend after the incident at the coffee shop, I can only hope that some day it is exceeded. I've never felt more in love and loved than I did that weekend. In fact thinking of it now makes me want to stop right here and go find my wife. Thanks for listening.

Anonymousabout 3 years agoNowadays his compliments will be considered condescending and creepy by any feminists.
Regretsabout 5 years agoThat was very well done,her mounting orgasm as she thought on all the components of his kindness toward the young mother in the coffee shop,and because it had nothing to do with female domination as it is normally portrayed it did make me realise that a woman might connect to her submissive partner this way. This unusual orgasm,achieved over an incident in a coffee shop was plainly going to be an earth shaker. Since Lent is about church matters and so on I thought that her world might be expanded by finding that she has him grow flowers for decorating their church and volunteering his time and energy,without consulting him,to cleaning jobs there and in the churchyard,especially if he would rather be doing other things with his time. Indeed,it is when Her wishes collide with His wishes,and He must defer that a Female Led Marriage has its Bite. As well,to save her time,she might direct that he work his way through a pile of romance novels,bought cheaply at a charity shop,and write out a precis of the plot and give the numbering of notable pages on 2 sides of A4, for each one. And,if in using the washing machine to do the laundry he mixes the washing wrongly,she might have him copy out the entire instruction manual,usually only about 4/5 small pages. He will stop making such mistakes after one or two copies. All this,requires Her to take real pride that he does this sort of thing at her bidding and maintains a collection of his A4s and other evidence of domination in the home carried out in a way that pleases Her.

No one believes you. No one believes you're really a woman. And there certainly isn't anyone that thinks you're leading a man anywhere.
tuch85over 10 years agoAll the hot fantasy stuff on literotica is loads of fun, but this is a wonderful complement - intimate, powerful, loving, sustainable. Changing behavior of anyone around just about anything is very difficult, but clearly your dynamic is strong in ways many can't even imagine. Thanks for sharing.
Pistolpackinpeteover 14 years ago....for it is not answered here.This is an essay on various aspects of being complimentary that looks like a possible prelude to a cuck story, without the teeth even for that. Strange, but certainly well written.
