As a mostly straight dude who does not score high on conventional physical attractiveness I encourage absolutely everyone independent of their gender to hit on me. Being told/signaled that I am attractive is always welcome.

Just don't blatantly ignore boundaries like physical touch without explicit consent. That too applies completely independent of gender.

Man if I ever get comments on my appearance it goes to my head and I cant think straight for days.

Thankfully that's only happened like twice.

You too remember when that girl told you that you had good, healthy finger nails in 2012?

Pretty sure I still catch myself smiling over the girl in highschool 18 years ago that said she was jealous because I had really long and pretty eyelashes.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No, in my case I was told I smelled really good

I'm sure you're aware but I think it needs to be said more; but I think that most women would love to pay men compliments on their appearance, but unfortunately, it sometimes leads to weird, obsessive, totally inappropriate behaviour from said men and so that scares a lot of women off.

We, as a society, should try to discourage men from reading too much into a purely platonic compliment so that women feel more free to give men compliments without fear of super awkward and/or scary situations.

When you say “hi” and the guy is like “I’m not into you”

Not into you either bro. Just acknowledging you’re there and I’m here so you don’t fall off a cliff in surprise just cuz I’m walking this trail behind you. Safety measures and all that.
