Do you get compliments often?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do you get compliments often? (Page 1 of 5)

In a personal sense.

Like 10 years ago I was having lunch in another city by myself. Some random woman with kids on the way to the bathroom told me I had beautiful eyes. I still remember that to this day.

Yea I get compliments at work and stuff, but personally it’s pretty rare.

Nope.

I believe your experience is typical, for men.

Lol. I don't think guys are allowed to get compliments.

I was thinking about that today.

Breadwinner for the household a few times over. Provide for my close and extended family, ext. I can’t remember being given a compliment. Hence that rando woman’s one popping up every now and then.

Used to in my younger days. Getting old sucks.

All the time. Eyes, smile, hair, etc.

Genetic lottery winner over here.

My eyes? Yes. Sometimes even dudes will go "damn, your eyes are blue." Sometimes my hair if I let it get curly.

Yes

The most common one I get is people think I look much younger than a guy in his late 50's.

I tend to agree but I'm waiting for the day the biological switch flips in my body and I age 15 years in just a few months.

Self employed many years so no boss to give me an atta boy. I never needed them so I don't miss it.

I've never in my life had a woman compliment my looks and quite frankly I wouldn't know what to do if one did. I made peace with what I am early on in life.

Nope. I was also told women would hit on me more when I got married. That hasn’t happened at all.

Buddy gets hot on all the time in public. Especially when he’s with his wife.

I complemented a guy’s eyes yesterday.

Of course at six months old he probably didn’t understand what I said.

Not since I quit roofing and aged 20 years. It beats the alternative though.

I get compliments on work I do. Does that count?

Usually just for my tattoos.

Me, no.

My Jeep, yes.

I've been told a couple of times that I smile with my eyes.
Not sure what that means but I always figured it was a short polite way of saying "you are one seriously ugly fucker but at least your eyes don't make me want to puke". So yeah, I guess that's a compliment.

Wife compliments me pretty often, so that's nice.

Other people? lol nah. Last time that happened was 25 years ago, girl in high school told me I had a great ass. That's it.

I don't think my wife is blind.

I do, but I’m also in and out of offices with lots of women every day. I think people should do it more often, doesn’t take much effort and makes people feel good. You can change someone’s entire day with a well timed compliment

Posted: 3/13/2024 6:14:48 PM EDT

[#22]

not even from my wife.

Fuck compliments, they are for weak minded people.

Posted: 3/13/2024 6:16:26 PM EDT

[#24]

My wife and I get compliments on how well behaved our boys are. Pretty proud of that.

My wife gets compliments about her smile.

I consider it a compliment when I compliment a co-worker, and they don’t believe me, because I’m usually too “honest” for most of them and their weak feelings.

Constantly.. it’s an embarrassment of riches.

If not for my almost superhuman level of humility, it might be a problem.

I must compliment all dogs I see. It's a rule I think.

Compliments? Hell, I'm lucky if people don't throw rotten tomatoes or dog shit at me.

I get "you smell good" compliments from random people a lot. Otherwise I get zero.

A lady at work told me I'm pretty good looking for a white guy.

I know a girl like that. When she smiles, her eyes kind of squint a bit, and sparkle. If you saw a pic of just her eyes like that, you'd know that she's smiling. It's 100% a compliment, at least for her.

For me, sometimes people will say that I look younger than I am. Most of the other compliments that I've gotten were on how I treat people, how I keep trying to do stuff with my disability and after my wife died, and how I raised my son.

I get compliments from women often enough that I can remember every single one.

If someone compliments my clothes my knee jerk reaction is they are being sarcastic.

I have a very deep voice and I enunciate. I get compliments on my voice.

I get thanked for acts of kindness or listening to people. That’s kind of a compliment to me

Looks? No

If you can't see a smile in someone's eyes, they're faking it.

Yes.

From strangers? Eyes, smile, car mostly.

EDIT: I give complements too, especially towards actions / choices vs looks.

No,.........

Yes, usually because of the mustache.

No never do.

The closest I have come to recieving compliments is the wife being told by her other female coworkers that I am hot because I am a rugged manly man. But never do I recieve any compliments directly.
