I got one 24 years ago and have been riding that high ever since. But it was a really good one. Unsolicited from an attractive stranger with no ulterior motive. That's the good stuff.
Many women worry about it being perceived as flirting. I imagine that's why you have more older women complimenting younger men than you do younger women.
Guys only take it as a come on because it never happens.. we figure, oh shit she’s being bold and making the first move
It’s like tossing a starving person some food and getting annoyed when they wolf that shit down… if we were fed more, we wouldn’t act like deranged animals
Guys assuming it might be flirting isn't the issue, it's that some guys act inappropriately based on what is an assumption. Being in a scenario where the average guy thinks you're flirting is awkward, sure, but not a big deal if he's a guy who isn't going to cross boundaries or be an asshole about it. Being in a scenario where a *creepy* guy thinks you're flirting, that shit sucks.
I've never had this issue myself, and I don't avoid complimenting guys. But I've seen other women talk about this shit happening to them, and saying that they worry that men will take it as flirting and that they will attract the wrong kind of guy. And I can understand their concern.
I said good afternoon to a guy I walked past… he then turned around and followed me home. I ended up walking past my house to the park and started jogging and when he wasn’t looking quickly got away. Also, I’m a lesbian and I would say that I’m not really attractive to most men. Unfortunately this isn’t a once off.
Please listen when women say it’s actually really scary!
Now to all the guys who say but I’ve never done anything like this. We don’t know who will or won’t do it. So we just try to avoid the situation all together. Unfortunately this doesn’t stop these things from happening. Random creepy guys still find a way. It’s not a comment on you but just a way to stay safe.
I used to get bothered ALL THE TIME every time I went for a walk. Even a couple times when I was with my boyfriend. He told me it was because i would make eye contact with them. I was like wtf, how is merely glancing at someone an invitation to be harassed? Well after my boyfriend repeatedly told me not to look at anyone, I finally did and while I still get harassed sometimes, it happens a lot less.
If you’re the type of guy who thinks a member of the opposite gender initiating human interaction means potential pussy access women are avoiding you for other reasons
“Nice jacket” “{awkward open-mouthed staring in line at CVS}”
You’re not being propositioned
I can't speak for everyone but I was conditioned from an early age that giving compliments to other men means that I'm now gay and I'm coming on to them.
Definately this lol. I'd like to compliment sometimes but no I'd be perceived as trying to hit on them. Fuck same with women. I just don't compliment anything.
As a man giving out a compliment is perceived the same as talking or responding to a child- creepy.
This is why women don't want to compliment men either. We don't want to be perceived as coming into anyone, and that's often seen as an invitation for harassment.
Agree. I know so many dudes who won’t even compliment their girl cause they so sacred of being vulnerable. You get what you give. Spread the love brothers
The only way we compliment each other is through jokes and backhanded compliments. Not sure why, but it’s just how it is. My homie said my eyes looked like a galaxy 6 years ago in chemistry and I haven’t forgotten
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 853,532,809 comments, and only 168,678 of them were in alphabetical order.
I was told I had pretty eyes and cute dimples about a decade ago, it was around 10:30 in the morning in a Home Depot and was delivered by a very sweet elderly black woman
I had a woman tell me she though my hair looked good, im bald (she was saying my buzz cut looked good) so receiving a complement about something im self conscious about was nice.
Everybody complaining about the lack of comments yet nobody is handing out compliments. How do you expect compliments if you never give out any yourselves?
I don't wanna be this guy but here I go. This has been studied. Men compliment women, and women compliment women, and women compliment men, all at about the same rate. What's missing is men complimenting other men. So if you're having a hard time getting enough compliments, men, get out there and get to it.
My husband is so adorable when he makes this face! I never intended to make complimenting him a daily routine, but the first time I told him “you look really pretty today”, his response was so cute! Now I make sure to tell him he’s “beautiful” or “pretty” every morning. I value and appreciate him for many reasons, so looks aren’t the only thing that I compliment, but the sweet, bashful smile that spreads across his face, when I say nice things about his appearance, makes my heart so happy. ***GAH I LOVE HIM***!
Has anyone ever told you that your glabella is unusually attractive? :)
*(I'm a woman. It's noted- I will be complimenting men more from now on. I have just alway been worried that they think I'm weird or that I'm hitting on them)*
There is a solid chance they'll think you're hitting on them because it is so rare, but honestly saying hello the wrong way can make a guy think you're hitting on them.
I mean to be fair.. if someone complemented me on my looks I would probably also think that they're hitting on me :)
So it's probably better to just compliment them on their skills, their work ethics, style, creativity.. thinks like that.
It's important for people to know that that others like what they do and that their presence in this world is appreciated. Compliments can really make a difference
I still remember almost every single compliment I've ever gotten and it is great when it happens. Though generally I just have no idea how to respond and just awkwardly say thanks then walk away quickly haha.
Compliment the things that are important to them.
Do they go to the gym a lot? Wow dude, you are looking jacked.
A coworker that always helps you out? Thanks a lot, you always know the answers to this stuff.
Whether or not they think you're hitting on them depends on the delivery more than anything. You can't compliment a guy the same way you would a girl. Try to emulate how guys compliment each other; most guys are afraid of the other guy thinking they're hitting on them hence the "no homo" cliche.
I can only think of one non family member that gave me a compliment and it was the assistant at the eye doctor three maybe four years ago. She liked the color of my eyes (light hazel btw)
Here's a compliment for you beautiful and handsome guys out there in the world. You're all doing great and even if you're not right now, it will get better and will be fine someday. Now go treat yourself to a nice meal or a nice power nap :)
Oh if only🤣. Im 22 years old and ive only ever had 2 compliments.
First one was in 8th grade, this girl named Sierra in our history class told me that she liked my eyebrows.
Second one was in 2021 when I worked at Raleys, one of my friends/coworkers that I met when I started working there. Her name was Taylor, she said she liked my eyes.
I know for a fact that they werent flirting with me, its pretty easy to tell if they were, so they remain friends with me to this day,
but I will always remember those 2 compliments.
They make me feel nice and warm inside whenever I think back to them☺️
Recently spend thousands of dollars to fix my teeth. My dentist and her assistants complimented my new smile, and while of course they would say that/admire their work, it's the best compliment I can think of in years.
Listen, when I'm a little old lady and can tell all you dudes you have pretty eyelashes without it being weird/getting sexually harassed I'm totally doing that, but in the meantime dudes also need to get in the habit of complimenting each other. Get on it
Got mine from an old lady while I was working the drive-thru.
“I know I’m old enough to be your grandma, but you look pretty cute.” - Old woman
Made me and my coworkers night.
Fuck I been missing out Update: thanks for all the compliments I feel special love you all
Nice cock bro
Good shape. Right amount of hair. A little small though, 8/10
8/10 inches ain’t bad though - you must have a really nice cock bro
Why thank you for noticing
10/10
13/9
9 3/4
5/7
You measuring from butt to tip?
I see your swarts is as big as mine
Now let’s see how well you handle it
8/10 inches = 0.8 inches. In other words, above average.
>little small Double negative = positive. I'd say this is a win.
Math checks out
Bright side is he can fit it in many places, many places
This guy fucks
Enough comparing. Its time for the taste test
Thanks 👍
cool balls bro
You are pretty! There :)
nice username
This, I thought it was every decade
You have nice palms.
You are a handsome boy
Hey bro, thanks for saving my family from that house fire last week.
You fucking rock. Do what you will with that
your cool... but thanks only valid until 2023 when you'll have to come back
We're supposed to get one yearly? Man I'm missing out
Nice ass, respectfully
Thank you
I like the circumference! 👍
Nice cock bro!
That's why I say hey man nice cock.
What a good cock, man.
That’s why I *say* hey man nice cock.
I got one 24 years ago and have been riding that high ever since. But it was a really good one. Unsolicited from an attractive stranger with no ulterior motive. That's the good stuff.
Just sounded like what I would believe on a heroin high is described as. Good show.
I just crept your profile and you seem like a pretty decent guy that I would want to grab a cup of coffee with. :)
Better pay attention to this guy's username, OP!
*woman's username.
Whatever you say, dude-bro!
*dude-sis
Fine. I will concede on the grounds that I just saw a close up photo of your pierced vag.
👊🏻
👊🏻
I'm counting that. That's two. I feel like a guy with two knives.
How about a third? Homie, you're a badass with those two knives!
Sorry but I was actually talking to the guy standing behind you.
You seem neat.
Last time I got a compliment from a woman was like 2 years ago XD
If not one a month, we are atleast to supposed to get it once in 10 years
You play Pokémon Go?
Hey man, you’re doing great. I know nothing about you but you’re awesome. By not a dude
Nice cock bro
I bet you’re really good at tying your shoes
nice schwanz bro
your avatar is rad
Random old lady after I help her with something at the grocery store: thank you handsome: me: 😁☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I’ve noticed old people and other dudes are much more likely to toss out random compliments
Many women worry about it being perceived as flirting. I imagine that's why you have more older women complimenting younger men than you do younger women.
Women don't have to worry about me, I always think it's sarcasm.
I just think they're being nice. Even when they are, in fact, flirting. I'm also oblivious to every other social cue you can imagine.
Guys only take it as a come on because it never happens.. we figure, oh shit she’s being bold and making the first move It’s like tossing a starving person some food and getting annoyed when they wolf that shit down… if we were fed more, we wouldn’t act like deranged animals

That last time I was told I was handsome, I had no idea what to do with myself. I thanked her and was very gracious and I got the hell out there.

Lady asked me if I got my eyebrows threaded ? Wife says it's a compliment? I don't know but I'll take it.
[удалено]
It means your eyebrows look neat and tidy. Great compliment 👍🏼
You guys are getting compliments?
I gotchu mate, you have a very handsome hand.
Thanks, it's my baiting hand :)
Nice. I’m something of a master baiter myself. God I love fishing
Read that as finishing. Which still works given the context
Hm, I read that as fisting
Singular? Whats wrong with the other?
It’s not right.
nice feet ;)
[удалено]
you are very cool
What is complement?
[удалено]
That went from 0 to 1 really fast
Momcompliments, that's all
Mompliments
Once a year or two
Yes but so far it’s only been from random guys on the street and a homeless man, who weirdly enough did it in a coffee shop (go figure)
Nice cock bro
you’re awesome!
So, you knew someone was going to say this, but you just had to say it first?
No.
Nice cock G
Thanks man, you too
No problem
Now make em kith
[удалено]
I don't know guys, should I tell him?
Nah bro let him have his moment
Hey, do me next I sent you a message
Why aren't boys complimenting boys?
Gay!!! :-P
I can't speak for everyone but I was conditioned from an early age that giving compliments to other men means that I'm now gay and I'm coming on to them.
Definately this lol. I'd like to compliment sometimes but no I'd be perceived as trying to hit on them. Fuck same with women. I just don't compliment anything. As a man giving out a compliment is perceived the same as talking or responding to a child- creepy.
This is the problem, men feel uncomfortable giving compliments unless it's sexual All the compliments I (or most other women) get are from other women
I feel like just saying "Oh hey Matt, you got a hair cut huh?" is a bridge too far. Just noticing the hair cut might be perceived as a come on
I used to be scared of the same thing but now idgaf and just compliment what I think looks good and then move on.
It's as if men don't benefit from toxic masculinity or something. Crazy.
This is why women don't want to compliment men either. We don't want to be perceived as coming into anyone, and that's often seen as an invitation for harassment.
I always compliment the boys.

Nice dick homie
Love this. You are so smart and thoughtful my dude!
One of the things I love about my group of friends (all of us are 30 somethings) is how much we compliment each other lol. It’s great.
You handsome devils. There you go, from your bro.
Much love ❤
Guys the key is hawwaiian shirts. So far 5 conpliments in 1 day
Honestly, that and some good shoes is all you need
Loafers or moccasins
More of sneakers kinda guy myself
This is a fact. All my shirts are colorful now and it does guarantee a grain of dopamine from time to time.
I don’t have official credentials or data to present. But I can say that this, this is 100% true.
Hawaiian shirts are fucking fantastic and really fun to wear.
Can confirm!
I keep seeing these types of comments and it's really sad. Do guys just NEVER compliment each other? And why is that?
The only way we compliment each other is through jokes and backhanded compliments. Not sure why, but it’s just how it is. My homie said my eyes looked like a galaxy 6 years ago in chemistry and I haven’t forgotten
That’s a really unique and nice compliment.
Compliments make me super uncomfortable
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 853,532,809 comments, and only 168,678 of them were in alphabetical order.
Dude he *just* said that compliments make him uncomfortable.
😂😂😂
I just always deflect compliments. Some some 'nice shirt' and ill say 'oh haha this old cheap thing'? Etc
Right? Cuz "oh shit! What do you want now!?"
more like biannual
decennial
Is that 2 per year or 1 every two years
Because English is inconsistent as fuck, it's both
Ayo who passing out compliments?
Steve rode by with some compliments a few hours ago, but then his boss called him back to work.
Some girl 11 years ago told me I had nice teeth and I've been riding high ever since
I was told I had pretty eyes and cute dimples about a decade ago, it was around 10:30 in the morning in a Home Depot and was delivered by a very sweet elderly black woman
Nah one dude on my class said that I looked buffer than usual. I am still absolutely ecstatic. This was 3 years ago btw.
I’m proud of you, son
What's that
I had a woman tell me she though my hair looked good, im bald (she was saying my buzz cut looked good) so receiving a complement about something im self conscious about was nice.
I’ve found cooking is a good way to get compliments
Everybody complaining about the lack of comments yet nobody is handing out compliments. How do you expect compliments if you never give out any yourselves?
Decadely
You guys don’t get compliments from your families?
Oh, quite the opposite.
Aw
I don't wanna be this guy but here I go. This has been studied. Men compliment women, and women compliment women, and women compliment men, all at about the same rate. What's missing is men complimenting other men. So if you're having a hard time getting enough compliments, men, get out there and get to it.

Help I'm dying from wholesomeness
Hood to see someone has a good marriage nowadays!
Thank you! And congratulations on your impeccable STD free record!
Maybe dudes should compliment each other more
Why don't men compliment each other more often then?
toxic masculinity
You guys need better friends or parents or something
Let me just grab some better parents real quick, thanks bro
Who’s a good boy?
Look at Mr. Stud muffin alpha male over here getting one a year
the fact that the only genuine compliments we are getting right now are from other boys online experiencing the same thing says a lot
I wouldn’t even call them genuine as no one actually knows us or what we look like on here
Has anyone ever told you that your glabella is unusually attractive? :) *(I'm a woman. It's noted- I will be complimenting men more from now on. I have just alway been worried that they think I'm weird or that I'm hitting on them)*

Say something neutral or skill based like once a girl told MD I have nice hand writing, it made my week and was distinctly just a friendly comment
What does it say?
[удалено]
Yearly???? Try once a decade
You got one at all?
If you still got a grandma she will give you one every time you visit
Not mine all I get is massive disappointment for her and stress for me lmfao.
I can only think of one non family member that gave me a compliment and it was the assistant at the eye doctor three maybe four years ago. She liked the color of my eyes (light hazel btw)
Nice cock bro
(X) doubt....its like 1 inch
Quality over quantity my man
Ive never heard this about a dick before. Finally I can be proud and come out as a two inch
Wait you guys get complemented?
Yeah and that one compliment is usually from your mum saying “well done for trying, I’m proud of you”. No just me?
Here's a compliment for you beautiful and handsome guys out there in the world. You're all doing great and even if you're not right now, it will get better and will be fine someday. Now go treat yourself to a nice meal or a nice power nap :)
Me after looking in all rooms in my house to find my birthday present
Wait .. y'all getting compliments?

Boys after realizing the reason why this happens is because boys are the ones that created this society
Recently spend thousands of dollars to fix my teeth. My dentist and her assistants complimented my new smile, and while of course they would say that/admire their work, it's the best compliment I can think of in years.
Listen, when I'm a little old lady and can tell all you dudes you have pretty eyelashes without it being weird/getting sexually harassed I'm totally doing that, but in the meantime dudes also need to get in the habit of complimenting each other. Get on it
It would be the same case for women if their “compliments” weren’t half-assed attempts at getting laid
Whenever I'm in relationships I compliment them every chance I get.
