15 Things Most Nigerian Girls Says When You Compliment Them

What is it with women and compliments?

You’re at the mall and a stranger tells you are beautiful. You immediately give an awkward response.

Some says you look nice today and your reaction is, “ Do I look bad every other day ?”

Why do women find it hard to just say ‘thank you’ and move on, instead of giving silly responses?

A lot of Nigerian women find it hard to accept compliment, no matter how confident and comfortable they are with themselves. They will always find a way to ignore it.

There are some women who don’t know how to take a compliment if it was staring them in the face.

Some of these women have heard too many fake compliments that they don’t believe it anymore whether it’s true or not.

Women need to realize that just because it’s being used often as a pick up line by some men doesn’t mean it’s a lie.

Here are 15 things Nigerian girls say when you compliment them:

1. Like really?
Someone says, ‘You have nice legs’ and the best reply you can give is ‘like really’. But why?
