Still riding the high from my last one in October 2020. I was in a Lowes one early morning and one of the ladies working there came up and said she loved my beard (its rather wild, only upkeep it gets is random conditioner and a mustache trim when im tired of it going in my mouth with food).
First time some random woman came up to me and just paid me a random compliment on my appearance... this beard is never coming off my face.
remember they can call you beautifull but beautifull as a sunshine, flower at garden or beautifull napkin, yes all real examples from redddit and youtube
My wife of 16 years came home today and scolded me about some facebook messages between myself and a girl I knew, 17 years ago, when we had only just met.
I had a dream once about getting a complements and then positive words repeling my negative tone from an attractive random cashier woman once. Best dream. I felt great that day lol. Then fell off my bike that same day and threw out my back.
My wife of 19 years called me a great dad once during thanksgiving in 2008. She died in 2017 to cancer. That was the single compliment she ever gave me. I’ve dated a few times and been given many compliments on my looks and other things. For the longest time I thought I was a decent looking guy but had my doubts since she never gave me any compliments.
I was speaking to a buddy whose wife left him a few years ago. He has experienced some of the same. I guess this is pretty common.
I was out with some friends about 6 years ago. I was standing at the bar with my friend and his wife when a friend of hers came up to say hello. I introduced myself and shook her hand. She looked me up and down and said “you’re gorgeous!” which I had no idea how to respond to lol.
She was married and she was being nice-drunk. But I still think about that compliment to this day when I’m feeling down.
Yelled at a random man on the crosswalk that he had a Fabulous Moustache! (It was magnificent) And the smile on that man's face. He lit the F up!! I love screaming compliments while driving. The confusion, then absolute delight on their face. Priceless 🤣
I was getting my picture taken in 2006 for my driver's license and several of the ladies were calling me back to get a picture to keep. I still smile thinking about that.
I had just left the gym and went to Walmart, still in my shorts & gym shirt.
A woman in her mid to late 40s (I was 42) ran up to me, her demeanor panicked, and asked me “Sir did you get stung by a bee?”
Confused I began to check myself for a bee sting while she slyly says “because you swoooooooole”. I blushed like a teenager as she walked away. I still smile. That was 3 years ago.
i just got two compliments from two female co workers within five minutes of each other two hours ago and plan on letting that sit in my head rent free for a good while
Men also can't accept compliments or don't know what to do with them. I have to preface every time I wanna stroke a dudes ego and say something nice to build his esteem up by asking him if I can give him a compliment. I need him to mentally prepare for this and for him to recognize the statement is meant to brighten his day. Otherwise if you sneak one up on them or ambush them they're like deer in headlights. I'd totally blown smoke up their asses much more but like I said I never get the impression they want their hair or their sense of style or whatever to be complimented. I also have to be wary bc it's guy to guy. The walls are up around other guys yawn
My gf unintentionally complimented me to her friend like 6 years ago and I still talk about it. We went to her friend’s house to hang out and her friend answered the door and asked “did you bring any snacks?”, and my gf said, “just (my name)” not realizing she had just called me a snack, and her friend (who had a stated crush on me) nodded and laughed.
I still ask my gf randomly, “remember when you called me a snack?”
I once had a girl at a drive thru car wash take my payment tell me my eyes were a nest color. That was i 2003 still ales me smile. I have not heard anyone say thar before or since
If you are so starved for compliments, and are convinced so are every man, why don't you compliment your male friends and maybe, just maybe they will return the favour?
This is not a lie. One day the family and I went to the beach. On the way there I stopped at a 7-eleven to get a drink. A black woman ,with questionable life choices, held the door open for me. Looked me dead in the eye and said “Man your one cool looking mothaf$&@er” I said “me?” She goes “mmmmhuh” and nodded and I’ve been living off that for like 3 years.🤣🤣🤣
My fiancée got me some sweatpants last winter that I wore maybe once. I put them on last night because I’m about out of clothes and she says “damn, your ass looks good in those!”
mine CALLS me "sexy" frequently. But then chooses to HAVE sex with me, the constantly up for it guy who lives with her and is in her bed every night, about once every 3 months, so it's difficult to believe.
lol. Reminds me of the meme/post of how do men hide all of their struggles with the follow up post being we aren’t even trying to it’s just no one gives a shit.
Anyone else just not like compliments. I mean sometimes they make me feel good when I feel its genuine but most times I just feel really uncomfortable and like they're just making fun of me. Even when my gf does it I hate it even tho logically I know shes not being a dick I still want to tell her to stop. My brothers the same way I vividly remember him driving and my mom trying to pump him up for some reason and him just getting more and more angry to the point I was screaming at her in my head to shut the fuck up before she kills us all.
My girlfriend once said that she really liked the way I ran my hand through my hair as that was about 4 years ago and im still doing it to this day anytime we are together.
It's crazy how I'm dying to be desired by my wife, but when I voice this to her and others(especially on reddit) they just say I need do more. How many times am I supposed to do more while she does nothing? The bar keeps getting raised for me. But, her bar is literally on the ground and people are like, "Nah bro, you need to raise your bar higher."
A woman I worked with 20+ years ago said I had beautiful eyes and eyelashes..... She said she'd kill to have what I have.... I still remember it fondly
Buy a vibrant colored piece of clothing that looks good on you and that number skyrockets. I have some purple denim that nets me 1 or 2 compliments an hour anywhere in public lmao
U just have to care about your appearance... try to find cooler clothing, find a good style. I don't get called cute or anything, but I get enough compliments to actually get used to it.
they are mosty talking about your beauty like if you were beautifull as a sunshine or a flower at garden or a beautiful napkin. All those 3 are real examples from reddit and youtube. You arent a napkin, you are a human
Yes, but we're talking about how men don't get compliments or how rare it is for them.
Beauty is a skill. If they compliment my style or clothes (which is a kind of self expression), they are complimenting a part of me. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
... you can believe that if you want lol, it's strange tho. At that point it's like you don't want compliments of any kind. You're saying a compliment is fake... for what reason?
A compliment is a compliment. It makes you feel good about yourself and the way you look.
forgot to add the you are beatifull as a napkin is not an analogy/simbology like "you are as strong as a orc", so this compliment would be real while I am not an orc, but the napkin is not.
Apparently a man wanting this is problematic. I don't know how it happened. But, it boggles my mind how women can say, "I want to be desired" and everyone is like "YASSS QUEEEN!" But, a man says it and he's "Not doing enough, just wants sex, is being selfish, etc."
“So much as smile at them and they think you want to fuck them.”
Why are you thinking about calling someone beautiful if you’re afraid that person will assume you want to fuck them?
I not talking about actually complimenting him, but about what you feel.
If you really feel at your soul, that he is beautifull and your soulis not lyiingto yourself, forget about complimenting him or not, why you would not want him to assume you wanting to fuck him?
Edit: I am just kidding, i know your desire style for sex and attraction is different from 75% men and 15% women so the word beautifull means something else to you.
This really makes men sound super insecure. I am a guy and I don't need compliments to feel good about myself. My accomplishments speak for themselves.
One of my best friends insists NOTHING ever bothers him. It's just his first reaction. Even if you can see it on his face, nope can't acknowledge it. I had ptsd i kept for decades, talking about it turned my life around. I feel sorry for humans who never feel that relief of getting things off your chest.
This really seems like that masked wojak meme. "I don't need compliments, I'm accomplished!". Everybody needs reassurance from time to time, every therapist would tell you that.
My attractive best friend called me "not ugly" back in 2013 and if I could frame the memory I would
Still riding the high from my last one in October 2020. I was in a Lowes one early morning and one of the ladies working there came up and said she loved my beard (its rather wild, only upkeep it gets is random conditioner and a mustache trim when im tired of it going in my mouth with food).
First time some random woman came up to me and just paid me a random compliment on my appearance... this beard is never coming off my face.
Whelp. This post made me try to think back to the last time I got an unironic compliment from my wife....And now my ego is in a million pieces
Wait...are we only counting sincere compliments? Been awhile then.
Years
remember they can call you beautifull but beautifull as a sunshine, flower at garden or beautifull napkin, yes all real examples from redddit and youtube
You(men) get compliments ?!
My wife of 16 years came home today and scolded me about some facebook messages between myself and a girl I knew, 17 years ago, when we had only just met.
You mean to tell me you lived a life before her and you weren't waiting for her to come into your life? What an asshole... /s
He's such a dick. I can't believe he'd do that.
I'm a male stripper and most of my compliments are still people who like my viking braid.
Yeah but viking braids are badass
Is that a euphemism for your dong?
Lol, it is not. I have a braid that goes halfway down my back right now.
I had a dream once about getting a complements and then positive words repeling my negative tone from an attractive random cashier woman once. Best dream. I felt great that day lol. Then fell off my bike that same day and threw out my back.

I was speaking to a buddy whose wife left him a few years ago. He has experienced some of the same. I guess this is pretty common.
Was this also the case before you married them? Like in the early stages or just as boyfriend/girlfriend?
Hence the bulge
My wife told me I looked good in the jacket I was wearing today and that’ll probably do me for the next 1-3 years.
And you will wear that jacket until it falls apart then buy a new one exactly like it
That is too risky. A cautious man must buy five more to have them on hand.
My wife referred to my boner as "huge" 2 years ago.
I would never allow myself to live that down.
He hasn't been able to live since it hasn't gone down in 2 years.
I laughed way to much at this
So rare for men, we remember it 😆
For a lot of women it's annoying to them they get it so often
I was out with some friends about 6 years ago. I was standing at the bar with my friend and his wife when a friend of hers came up to say hello. I introduced myself and shook her hand. She looked me up and down and said “you’re gorgeous!” which I had no idea how to respond to lol.
She was married and she was being nice-drunk. But I still think about that compliment to this day when I’m feeling down.
You’re still gorgeous, friend.
Lady from anecdote demonstrates “Drunk action, sober thought.”
Good on you. 👍
I never knew the Helldivers 2 Mortar Sentry was this wholesome
So true, I think the only woman who has ever complimented me was my mom
Let’s see a pic. Maybe she is a liar
My own mother can’t give me compliments. Only grandma and grandpa
Yelled at a random man on the crosswalk that he had a Fabulous Moustache! (It was magnificent) And the smile on that man's face. He lit the F up!! I love screaming compliments while driving. The confusion, then absolute delight on their face. Priceless 🤣
God bless you
A hot girl told me I had beautiful hands once. In highschool. 25 years ago. I cherish that memory still...
My wife of 22 years called me sexy last night. I’m still giggling like a teenager.
I was getting my picture taken in 2006 for my driver's license and several of the ladies were calling me back to get a picture to keep. I still smile thinking about that.
I had just left the gym and went to Walmart, still in my shorts & gym shirt.

My wife calls me hot every time I wear my cap backwards and were in our 50's. She's a good one. I'm not hot lol

"Your hair looks good when it's wet" - My friend's grandmother 15 years ago when I visited his place while being caught in the rain.

If you are so starved for compliments, and are convinced so are every man, why don't you compliment your male friends and maybe, just maybe they will return the favour?
I started doing this a few years ago. Outfit choice, shoes, something that it looks like they put some effort into doing or maintaining.
Some guys appreciate it, some seem wierded out by it.
This is not a lie. One day the family and I went to the beach. On the way there I stopped at a 7-eleven to get a drink. A black woman ,with questionable life choices, held the door open for me.

My fiancée got me some sweatpants last winter that I wore maybe once. I put them on last night because I’m about out of clothes and she says “damn, your ass looks good in those!”
Yeah, I’m still wearing them.
Same reason women cat calling men tends to back fire. Most men are emotionally starved and/or low self esteem
Chad was sharing a sweet moment. Mat made things weird.
If I get a compliment from my wife it’s so few and far between I ruin it by asking “what’s wrong” it throws me off that much.
I got told I had a great nose about 15 years ago. Still makes me smile
What exactly is a business year?
quit….😑😂
I get complimented on my phone voice a lot. Too bad I have a face and body.
You peeps getting talked to?
18 months ago a co-worker said i was looking "kinda jacked".
Every 3-5 days???? Wtf are you? Chris hemsworth?
Every 3-5 years?
Alright, quit bragging and rubbing it in.
My homegirl said if you factor my job, ambition, height, I'm a 9.5. That was like 5 years ago.
mine CALLS me "sexy" frequently. But then chooses to HAVE sex with me, the constantly up for it guy who lives with her and is in her bed every night, about once every 3 months, so it's difficult to believe.
lol. Reminds me of the meme/post of how do men hide all of their struggles with the follow up post being we aren’t even trying to it’s just no one gives a shit.

Ah yes — literal wives.

But, her bar is literally on the ground and people are like, "Nah bro, you need to raise your bar higher."
That is a one sided relationship. Stop putting in effort until she does, and maybe she’ll see how it feels.
A woman I worked with 20+ years ago said I had beautiful eyes and eyelashes..... She said she'd kill to have what I have.... I still remember it fondly
Are there non-business years?
Yes. It’s called retirement.
Buy a vibrant colored piece of clothing that looks good on you and that number skyrockets. I have some purple denim that nets me 1 or 2 compliments an hour anywhere in public lmao
oh also
be attractive
dont be unattractive
bonus for tall
Write that down! Write that down!
Men, you are really good at communicating how much lack of compliments hurts your feelings.
We want genuine compliments, not compliments for the sake of complimenting to make us feel better.
Back-handed compliments? You must be really proud of yourself, huh.
U just have to care about your appearance... try to find cooler clothing, find a good style. I don't get called cute or anything, but I get enough compliments to actually get used to it.
they are mosty talking about your beauty like if you were beautifull as a sunshine or a flower at garden or a beautiful napkin. All those 3 are real examples from reddit and youtube. You arent a napkin, you are a human

Beauty is a skill. If they compliment my style or clothes (which is a kind of self expression), they are complimenting a part of me. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
i am getting at some of those compliments arent really real ones, so we get even less compliments
... you can believe that if you want lol, it's strange tho. At that point it's like you don't want compliments of any kind. You're saying a compliment is fake... for what reason?
A compliment is a compliment. It makes you feel good about yourself and the way you look.
Those compliments are real, sorry to disappoint.
because i am a human not a napkin
Oh boy. Humans are so strange. Have a good one.
forgot to add the you are beatifull as a napkin is not an analogy/simbology like "you are as strong as a orc", so this compliment would be real while I am not an orc, but the napkin is not.
Yeah bc you so much as smile at them and they think you wanna fuck them, instead of just being a normal person. Can’t be giving them compliments.
You say that like women don't assume the same when a guy compliments them.
Also, he's talking about compliments from his own wife. I don't think anyone would blame him for thinking she wants to sleep with him.
Suuure
Yeah it’s a well known fact women talk about and experience all the time so yeah… “suUuuUuuUuRrRrEeeEee”
Uh, isn't your wife supposed to wanna fuck you?
You'd think so...
Apparently a man wanting this is problematic. I don't know how it happened. But, it boggles my mind how women can say, "I want to be desired" and everyone is like "YASSS QUEEEN!" But, a man says it and he's "Not doing enough, just wants sex, is being selfish, etc."
Are you that dense?
“So much as smile at them and they think you want to fuck them.”
Why are you thinking about calling someone beautiful if you’re afraid that person will assume you want to fuck them?
Is this English? WTF is going on in these replies.
Fixed the text.
What I meant is:
Why are you thinking about calling someone beautiful if you’re afraid that person will assume you want to fuck them?
How can your mind hold both thoughts at the same time, “he is beautiful” and “I hope he doesn’t want casual sex with me or assume I want it with him”?
Because you can compliment someone without wanting anything other than to be nice.
I not talking about actually complimenting him, but about what you feel.
If you really feel at your soul, that he is beautifull and your soulis not lyiingto yourself, forget about complimenting him or not, why you would not want him to assume you wanting to fuck him?
Edit: I am just kidding, i know your desire style for sex and attraction is different from 75% men and 15% women so the word beautifull means something else to you.
Oh shut up
Triggered by the truth. Typical male.
Except I'm not triggered, or a man. Just being a slightly less bitter woman than you are 🙃
Look at all the men offended by the truth lol. So weird. Thank god I’m a lesbian.
This really makes men sound super insecure. I am a guy and I don't need compliments to feel good about myself. My accomplishments speak for themselves.
Sounds like you're insecure about being percived as insecure.
One of my best friends insists NOTHING ever bothers him. It's just his first reaction. Even if you can see it on his face, nope can't acknowledge it. I had ptsd i kept for decades, talking about it turned my life around. I feel sorry for humans who never feel that relief of getting things off your chest.
I think that many people have this. They don’t acknowledge their flaws.
Men who say it doesn’t bother them even though you can literally see it, and a single bait will make them crack.
Women who say they don’t care about beauty standards, but say something about their appearance and they crumble.
Everyone enjoys being uplifted by others. Don't be that guy.
You’re trying hard bro, Tf you want a cookie? Good for you
Insecure response
This really seems like that masked wojak meme. "I don't need compliments, I'm accomplished!". Everybody needs reassurance from time to time, every therapist would tell you that.
some questions based at your post
1- do you watch porn? What frequency?
2-Are you able to do the first move at a girl?
3-Are you ok with heavy sex jokes?
4-Are you ok with talking about sex with those you are not sexually attracted at the moment x, during moment x?
Feel free to not answer it just say you arent going to answer it.
How is another person displaying affection for you, and that in turn making you feel good about yourself a bad thing?
