"You smell so nice" - a gay female co-worker. I was wearing a new cologne that I purchased for myself. It was very expensive so I'm glad I chose well

I give my man compliments all the time. He calls me silly and pretends he doesn't care, but I think it is working. Have been running a semi-non stop compliment campaign since Covid where I tell him how beautiful his hair is in the hopes he will cut it less. It's been a good while since he last came home looking like a sheep after shearing. Summer is approaching, though, so I'm bracing myself for him getting the idea to visit the barber and have him mutilate those beautiful locks of his. It should be crime, honestly.

You deserve a blowjob.

That's kept me floating for years.

Everytime the cashier flips the tablet over before a tip, they say a compliment. I always tip more than I usually do.

I was told blue looks good on me by a girl.

10 years later, most of my shirts are blue.

Girls have a super power they can use to live rent free in any guy's head pretty much eternally. All they need to do is catch them off guard with a compliment.

A guy will keep a shirt until it literally disintegrates if one time a girl said "that color looks good on you." Pretty much every guy that wears a particular cologne, wears that cologne because at some point a girl said he smelled nice. It's not even a horny brain thing I don't think. It's just that guys get so few compliments on their appearance that every single one is massively precious to them.

I don't remember basically anyone from my secondary schoold other than my 4 close freinds and this one girl that randomly asked me for a hug one day, said I give really good hugs, then basically never spoke to me again.

Anon's tombstone:

"She really liked my voice."

One time a buddy and I were out drinking and on our way out he ran into a childhood friend. So while they were catching up I was just leaning against a table and listening to their conversation and people watching.

A pretty attractive woman came up to me, looked me dead in the eyes, and said "you'd be more attractive if you had some self-confidence", and then walked out of the bar.

I think about that every day. Because I have never in my life been told I need "more confidence" (actually, it's usually the opposite haha).

I did a lot of clubbing in the '90s. Once, a beautiful girl came up to me and said: "You're gorgeous" and then ran off. Thing is, though, I was in my early 30s at the time and she looked about 16. So, obviously, I didn't pursue her. But that's stuck with me for over 20 years. I can still hear it in my head.

I've received a lot of compliments on my voice in life, Nicknames for it throughout school; i didn't have a period of voice cracking, literally woke up one day and my voice was different (scared the shit out of my parents that morning).

I hate my voice 🙃

I must be a heck of a lot more "attractive," than I think I am. I'm male, and 44 y/o. I get a random compliment from strangers about once every month or two.

I'm not saying anything about right or wrong or societies roles, but I don't even think it's hyperbole to say my wife has been complimented thousands of times more then I have in our lives. It's incredibly rare for me to get a compliment from a stranger, and even then it's usually from other guys saying they like some item I'm wearing. It really does feel fucking incredible when it happens because it's so insanely rare. And not to toot my own horn too much, but I'm not that bad looking, so I can't imagine what it's like for people with less fortune than I have in their appearance.

I've received two compliments from women out of the blue in my life. The first time was when a coworker told me i had a nice voice and should do voice acting for anime. That was 2006.

The second was another coworker said "at least you're cute" to some offhand joke i made. That was 2018.

At that rate, I expect another nice comment around 2032 or so.
