I want to work on complimenting other men more! Specifically my goal is to compliment people on things they clearly worked hard on or put in effort, cause it sucks if you work super hard or care about something and then don’t feel like anyone notices.
So I’m going to try and compliment people who:
Have really well done and unique tattoos
Are older but super athletic (It’s harder and more thankless, since when you’re young and athletic you’re usually in sports and get lots of praise. At least that was my experience)
Have super sharp outfits
Have really nice shoes (nice shoes are expensive and keeping them clean is legit hard)
what are other good compliments we should give each other?
EDIT: Oh and I still remember when I got a compliment on what I was getting while grocery shopping. So if I see like real good food in there I’ll try to throw out a “looks like you’re cooking up some good stuff”
Anything. Literally anything. The only time I get noticed is when someone needs something from me. I define my existence by how useful I am to others because that’s the only time I’ve ever felt wanted. I hate it, but it’s better than being completely ignored (which has happened many times in my life).
May I compliment you on your grammar and punctuation?
You can compliment anything you like. It’s all appreciated! :)
I see the word commission in a lot of your art posts. Do you draw? It’s good stuff.
No, see the text of the post. I’m linking to other people’s stuff.
This is the best response. So apropos to too many of us!
Same. I might as well be invisible until someone needs help with something. I get compliments at work sometimes but it’s all related to my being competent enough to do something they need.
Bro. Same.
I got a couple escorts who would like to talk to you
Is…is this like an insult?
No…unless you think it’s shameful to use their services…
There’s a story that pops up time and again on forums about men buying time with escorts but not having sex with them. They have dinner or something, then she just listens to him. Idk if it’s true or not, I’ve never heard of it irl. It’s like therapy with a hot woman.
It was a plot point in series 3 of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, for what it’s worth
Too broke for that, sorry.
I like when other men compliment my penis.
Just a causal ’Nice dick bro’ when I’m wearing my nice gray sweats.
I thought you blocked me!
I try do that at the urinals. Followed by offering a helping hand for the final shake
You’re a true gentleman.
I used to be a dude years ago, so I hope you’ll still accept a “nice dick, bro!”
I used to be a dude too.
Stil am, but I used to be as well.
Mitch is violently turning in his grave right now and I want to scream.
I think he’d be laughing if he wasn’t so decomposed.
Dude, the grey sweatpants drive me crazy. Can’t keep my eyes off you when you wear those.

To answer honestly, probably that someone enjoys having me around
That would do wonders for my repressed lack of self esteem, and certainty that everyone hates me
I don’t hate you
I put a bunch of effort into making my moustache curly, a bit like Dali. And recently I received a compliment from a dude for that. I really liked that.
Nice, getting compliment from women isn’t easy. But getting them from guys is even harder. You must have a great moustache.
I mean, it still doesn’t stay curly as much as I’d like it to (even with wax or pomade) but its definitely pretty nice when its the way i want it to be, I think!
Nice cock, bro. 🤝
😆 Touché
That is actually very impressive. I toyed with the idea of doing this for fun one year, but I gave up when I realised how properly hard it was going to be to achieve. Nice one.
What helped me was shifting my habit of chewing nails to twirling my moustache lol
Well that’s a double win then.
i like it, kinda accentuates your smile
Thank you :)
That dude is also full chill. Taking the time and breaking whatever possible comfort zones for the both of you to commend you on your moustache. That’s a nice fella. Somebody husband that bastard real quick.
Yeah, for real. He seemed like a cool dude.
My personal favorite probably is compliments on when I have built/fixed something. It’s the skill I’m the most proud of.
This! Using my knowledge and practice to practical effect and being thanked for it is genuinely the best feeling! Even if it’s transactional, it’s still nice to feel like a job well done after all the years of effort and craft.
Genuine compliments on personality are always cool. Like, “you’re good at making people feel comfortable around you” or whatever. People often wonder what role they play in social situations, being told they’re doing good is nice. At least I appreciate it whenever it happens.
Nice cock bro
Try raising a male chicken and going to France
said at the next piss stall over when all others are free
I was in Italy on vacation and a girl in a hotel reception said me and my girlfriend have really beautiful blue eyes. They are not used to blue eyes in Italy so much, but it felt very nice to get a compliment as a guy. I think I’ve rarely or never had compliments from strangers like that.
That woman probably felt safer to compliment you as well as your girlfriend because you were together. Sadly, guys in general get fewer compliments from girls than pop into the girls’ heads because they’re afraid of how the guy would react.
Which is why it’s nice for OP to call on guys to compliment each other, and notice when they’ve put in effort.
I’m going to add, “Great hair!” And, “Those glasses really suit you!”
I’m always ordering weird shirts off the internet. From like video games, Youtube channels, FOSS and general geeky fun stuff. About once or twice a year some total stranger will say “cool shirt!” out of nowhere. That always makes me smile the rest of the day 😊

Shirts that go hard
Yup, already subscribed!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !shirtsthatgohard@lemmy.world
“I’m so jealous of your bottomless cash flow”
I’m super jealous of your bottomless cash flow, mine’s pretty much only topless
With a name like “toomanypancakes” I was expecting you to have a muffin top.
I love your small pp and body odor

I’m usually pretty happy to be recognized for my extreme dexterity.
Hey there, I saw you juggling while twirling a drumstick and just wanted to tell you I was really impressed by your dexterity
There can be too many pancakes?
Nonono, I spin a puppyhammer while doing the Melbourne shuffle!
Last weekend I saw a dude juggling and riding a little cruiser skateboard though!
Praise for any genuine public service whether that’s being an EMT or just picking up a piece of trash. The world would probably be better off if we focused more on recognizing actions and less on superficial things like what clothes you can afford or physical appearance.
ooh. I would not get any compliments based on OP original criteria but could get some with yours. Honestly though compliments make me uncomfortable.
I love how bashful you are
Im really not. Well usually. I can be caught off guard and actually my wife is good at that. It honestly makes me more rigid and ackward. I feel bashful is like a looser state of mind and body.
Anything other than the typical “nice shirt” or “wow you’re tall” I get, really.
“Thanks. I stretch every day” lmao
“You’re tall” is the “nice tits” of male compliments
Hey, nice tits!
I can’t tell if that’s worse for guys or gals
The quality of tits can change based on effort. A woman can improve her tits by exercising.
Height just is what it is.
