How to check the sincerity of a man?

The model of competent behavior is as follows: the first reaction to any, even the most clumsy compliment, is, of course, joy, gratitude. Then, in order to determine what is really behind these pleasant words, you need to ask a special clarifying question. Try asking a man under what circumstances you showed yourself exactly as he says: “clever”, “kind”, “soulful”, etc. When did he manage to notice these qualities of yours, so that now he can tell you about them? It is desirable that he give some real example, a real situation that you can remember. Try to carefully translate the conversation into the mainstream of these memories.
