Beautiful or Stunning
 

I know as a woman what I want to hear, now lets hear it from the guys.

If you would want to impress a lady you think was out of this world, would you rather use the word

Stunning or
Beautiful

Youre stunning
Youre beautiful

which word do YOU think has more power??

:Graucho

Stunning. Lots of things are beautiful but very few are stunning. You could always say stunningly beautiful.

Words are cheap.

i think stunning would refer more to a person in a outfit or clothing or something.

beautiful refers to the person. thats the way i would think of it.

beautiful has more longevity .. stunning is in the light of the moment.

in other words,

ms right is beautiful
ms right now is stunning

Wow, your eyes are so beautiful, and you've got such a stunning smile too.....

Actually I think 'stunning' might be a little too over the top. If you're going to use 'stunning' you better have some finesse in the way you use it, or we will know you're just trying to over compliment. Beautiful is fine for a younger woman... 18~25 if my estimate... it has sort of a youthful/girlish feel to it. Also, with beautiful, you must also have some style in the way you say it or it may be to little a compliment.

:thumbsup :winkwink:

beauty

Oh wow,,

well said

damn... I keep doing that... AMAZING! :1orglaugh

It's usually more how you say it but I'd use 'stunning' when I just got this wuick snapping - butterflies in the stomach flip flops feeling and I'd use beautiful when I saw her and got this peaceful, wanted to hug her from here to heaven feeling.

don't compliment her until she's at least given you oral.

"hot piece of pootang" always worked for me...

I think stunning is more effective. Beautiful is overused.

Stunning doesn't imply beauty.

I would say beautiful.

Ultimately I think it depends on the context.

That probably wasn't helpful.

:(

I usually just say 'Bitch, you FINE!!!'

they love that

I should add that I did learn not to use, "attractive." Because one whakced out psychic vampire I dated actually got upset when I told her she looked 'attractive' that day...

"I used to be beautiful to you... now I'm only attractive..."

Needless to say that didn't last much longer.

Stunning is trying to hard, beautiful is more excepted as truth!!:Graucho

LOL, well I have a friend who is in a bain. That's why I am asking this question.

He told one girl that she was stunning and the other girl overheard it, and told him "You only told me that I was beautiful" I basically told him he fucked up. However he told me that he really loves that girl he called beautiful and the girl he called stunning was just for entertainment.

So I was curious what other guys would say. I would rather here stunning than beautiful, because I believe that stunning is just a notch over beautiful and so did that one girl.

Their friendship is on the rocks because of this little word play. Dunno how he is going to get out of it and still with the "beautiful girl"

God help him lol

I think both of those words are over used :2 cents:

My bf uses words like : angelic,radiant,sublime,enchanting etc...
A little more thought out then stunning or beautiful :)

But thats just my :2 cents:

you called her 'attractive' ? that word is used more when you're describing a person when they aren't there 'Oh yes, Jill is a very attractive girl'. Not to Jill's face 'Wow you look very attractive tonight Jill'... that sounds like Eddie Haskell ...............beautiful or gorgeous would fit .... 'Wow you look beautiful tonight Jill'......oops.....................DO NOT DO THIS!!!
Never leave any openings with a woman for them to get paranoid about........... when a girl hears 'you look beautiful TONIGHT'.......... first thing that will come into her head and if she's a whiney Jewish broad it'll come outta her mouth 'Oh.........so TONIGHT I'm beautiful, what about yesterday, I guess I looked like shit to you, didn't I! Why do you always do this to me, are you trying to drive me back into the hospital?!?!'

Women wonder why men are quiet and don't seem to care about things ........ um..............it's cuz we're fucking afraid to open up our mouths for fear we'll summon the psycho bitch from hell that dwells inside all of you!!!

stunning is a VERY gay word for a guy to use. chicks describe other chicks as stunning. Stunning is only slightly less gay than 'you look smashing!'. You are gay to infinity if you use the word 'smashing'.

Okay but the sad thing there is that the girl feels that his seeing another girl as attractive somehow says something about his connection and feelings to her. You ask me he should leave a girl who feels their relationship to one another is jeapordized by him recognizing the outer beauty of another woman.

Women need compliments and validation like a junkie needs smack!

Pathetic.

That's absolutely the way I think of it, too...except I'm more likely to tell my gf she's gorgeous, because for me that word has a connotation of old-fashioned glamour, which my lady most definitely has. Does it show that I'm totally in love with her? She calls me dollface. It makes me get all gooey. :)

nice one smooth master... perfect ! :thumbsup

Beautiful is overused.
Stunning is a bit cheesy for my taste.

I'd personally go with "incredible", with "amazing" being a runner-up.

Somehow, those win out over "really fucking hot" :winkwink:

Post your pic and I'll tell

I would say something like, "how about stunning me with a beautiful blow job."

Anytime :angel

stunning, no doubt

how is now? is now good for you? :thumbsup

Now is good, bring your snow boots there is still a decent amount of snow on the ground here. Once you are here, I provide the heat ;)

The next crunching you hear, will be that of my snow boots crunching the snow up to your front door. :)

Its not the word you say its how you SAY the word to the girl!

Trust me........ :thumbsup

I'm with this one. My girl agrees.

HAHA

Chicks are bizarre.

My gf said Shaun Michaels is hot.

I suppose I should have jumped up and gotten all pissed?

Hmm....maybe I'll stop talking to her for a few days now.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get. :feels-hot :feels-hot :feels-hot THIS MIGHT BE THE END!

Oh wait. That would be stupid and retarded. nm.

Stunning is a low-use word, you can't call someone that on a regular basis. You might say someone looks stunning in a particular dress, or on a particular night, but not every day. Beautiful is a more useable word.

Doesn't matter which one he used, he would've been screwed either way. The one girl was probably just mad he gave the other girl a compliment and not which one ment more. She would had the same reaction if it was reversed "you only told me I was stunning"

A man can never win over the emotions of a women, there are only degrees of losing that battle! :winkwink:

I would say:
Mm....ok i guess and shrug.

Works all the time:Graucho

Don't get too drunk before saying it, because it might come out as "you are so stunned, beauty-full"

or

"your eyes are stunning.... your smile is beautiful, and your TIT'S are to-die-for"


Drinking and compliments don't always mix.

It doesn't matter both phrases roughly translated mean

I wanna fuck you

I would not use any of them, not any compliments since they create exactly the opposite effect. I would just treat her like she is the most ordinary girl I have ever seen. Are you sure your beautiful breasts are real ? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I prefer 'gorgeous' - would never use 'stunning' and 'beautiful' is reserved for spoilt young lasses who still think they're daddy's little princess.

For me the ultimate accolade (and one I've used about only a very small handful of girls) is "You're so beautiful you're almost painful to look at." And when I say it, I mean it. I have shot some girls who are so beautiful they are almost unreal. The "pain" comes from knowing that I'll never get to know them in the Biblical sense. (Nor might I want to...most of them have some pretty drama-filled lives.)

:1orglaugh
Thats gotta be the funniest thing I have read here this year.
:thumbsup

depends on the girl.

truthfully. i think stunning sounds korny :2 cents:

If you can say it with a medium dry martini, one olive, shake not stirred casually in your hand, and sound like James Bond...(and we all know which James Bond I mean)...go with stunning. It is a far more elegant word, but requires far more finesse. The fact is, most guys can't pull it off.

If you don't own your own tuxedo, or you do but you call it a "tux," by all means, stay away from stunning.

Otherwise better stick with beautiful so you don't look like an idiot.

Glad to have cleared that up for you.
