Would you DP guys agree with this list? I thought most made sense, though I didn't expect the "cute feet" one.

10 Compliments That Wow a Man

From an early age, men get hammered with the same message about how to treat women: More compliments, more listening, more romance. That's all well and good, as it should be. But sometimes, especially as relationships progress, men can also feel on the short-end of the fawning stick: Nearly 70 percent of men say they wish they received more regular compliments from their partner. I'm not suggesting that every guy has to be coddled and cuddled with verbal roses, but every once in a while, it's nice to throw one his way. While guys aren't particularly amped by compliments like "nice eyes" or "you're so beautiful," there are a few, simple things a woman can say to a man that really get him going. To wit:
"Your arms are definitely looking bigger."
...
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
...Because men value their sense of humor as one of their most important qualities, a hearty, genuine laugh is as flattering as it gets.
"Wow."
Doesn't matter whether it comes as he's getting undressed or after you've finished having sex, this short, sweet word (best done in a whisper) may just be the ultimate ego-stroke...
"You the man."
...But if it comes from a woman -- no matter the context -- the message is that, hey, we're buddies, too. Which is actually pretty darn sexy.
"The kids just adore you."
...
"What do you think?"
...I'm not saying that men should have the only say in decisions, but some guys do feel like they actually have very little.
"Cute feet."
...Tell a guy he has good feet, and somehow he takes it as a double-bagger compliment -- that you not only like his genetics, but also that you appreciate he can keep himself better groomed than the rest of the gnarly-nailed heathens out there.
"Meow."
...the message is one he likes to hear: That perhaps he's brought a little bit of the animal out of you.
"Impressive."
Guys love feats. They love accomplishments. They love being acknowledged for their strength, power, and, simply, their masculinity... feeds into his need to feel like the family protector.
"I want you."
...
