There is a real art to flattery. It is all about timing. It is all about precision and
knowing just the right compliment that will get the best reaction. Flattery is one
of the more useful tools at our disposal. Using flattery to pick someone up is
guaranteed to get their attention but only if you use it in the right way. Flattery
can be funny, sincere, or even over the top. Sure, the person that you are
flattering will probably know you are trying to get on their good side but hey,
anything is fair in love and war, right? Some pick-up artists will tell you that the
best thing to flatter a person about is something that they can control like the
way they dress or their sense of humor. But in the end, any compliment can
be appreciated (as long as it doesn’t offend).
