I was once in a relationship with a woman who was the most brilliant, creative and driven person I'd ever known. I told her these things often because she didn't see herself this way, despite (1)
(achieving) great success and
(gorgeous) and
(imperialists) decided to
(binder) ,
acclaim (称赞) in her professional field. She was also (2)
sexy, though she seemed not to realize this either, so I told her these things too. But while I thought it was more important to praise her brilliance, it seemed to mean more to her that she was (3)
(considered) attractive.
My experience with this girlfriend exemplifies a common phenomenon in life — when it comes to complimenting a woman, men often walk a very difficult line. Of course, (4)
(context)matters. In a professional setting, talking about
appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, it may be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her clothes and (5)
(accessories) are pretty, or her hair looks wonderful. However, things in
between these two cases are unclear. Women have every right to be recognized and (6)
(appreciated) for their intelligence and creativity. But at
the same time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skin (7)
(complexion) and elegant outfits.
Unfortunately, most guys don't understand this. If we receive compliments from women, they're usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don't expect a woman to tell us how (8)
(handsome) or sexy we are, and
(comment) as sincere.
some of us would find it hard to regard such a(n) (9)
I'm not saying it's very hard to be a guy these days. It is important for every man to understand how to treat women with both respect and (10)
(admiration). But as far as the right balance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when it comes to looks.

How do women and men groom themselves?
Introduction :
Women and men take care of their appearance in very different ways, which are mainly shown in three areas.
Body :
? The variety of beauty tools and products they use ? The amount of clothes they have
? The amount of time they spend on grooming themselves
Conclusion :
Women and men behave differently in how they attend to their routine grooming chores. My writing:
Reference X When you get yourself ready to go to school or work in the morning, or attend a party in the evening, you may have to do various preparations. What you
consider as essential to prepare largely depends on whether you are a female or a male. Women and men take care of their appearance in different ways, which are mainly shown in three areas.
One difference lies in the variety of beauty products that women and men use. Women have a great variety of tools and skincare products; for example, combs and clips for hair, brushes for powder foundation, and eyeliners for eyebrows, creams for face, to name just a few. Men, however, do not use so many things. They may comb their hair, but they seldom use cosmetics. Another difference involves the amount of clothes women and men have. Females usually have many more clothes than men do. You may well be familiar with movie scenes in which a woman tries on the outfits in her wardrobe one after another and still hesitates about which one to wear. Unlike females, males do not buy themselves piles of clothes as long as they still have something at home.
The third difference is that women spend much more time grooming themselves than men do. It can easily take a woman half an hour or even several hours to get a perfect hair style or apply makeup to her face. In contrast, it may just take a man several minutes to tidy himself. All he needs to do is to comb his hair and put on whatever clothes he finds in the drawer. To conclude, women and men behave differently in how they attend to their routine grooming chores. Such distinctions help create the typical images of females and males in human society.
