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.
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.
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.
This is the best response. So apropos to too many of us!
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
said at the next piss stall over when all others are free
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.
As a father, I’d like to hear how well I combine being an emotionally supportive dad while maintaining a demanding job and taking care of cooking, repairs and other stuff at home.
Hey - very much feel this one.
It will likely come from your kids in the future, the validation doesn’t come from society. They get to a point where they recognise what you did and say thanks.
You’re doing well, keep it up mate.
Good one. My kids are teens, so I’m always happy to hear anything about how well they grew up
Your kids are really nice human beings. You did well raising them!
Thank you. I’m so proud of them
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
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
Yup, already subscribed!
“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.
“Nice dick”
“Thanks Dad”
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.
Anything other than the typical “nice shirt” or “wow you’re tall” I get, really.
It’s enough to compliment them on whatever is new. New shoes, new haircut, new shirt, new tattoo, etc.
I’ve been growing out my beard recently. Similar to women with long hair, maintaining a beard can be a lot of work. Typically, if I see someone else with an epic beard, I try to acknowledge it. Clearly they care about it.
Also, when I see a dad out with a young child alone, if they are trying at all, I will try to acknowledge it. I feel like most dads are in a situation where they are uncertain about what they are doing. Let me know that they are friggin’ nailing it.
None, i genuinely cannot handle beeing complimented
I honestly don’t like to receive compliments from dudes. Here nobody does that. From a girl is different and has “value” too bad I’m invisible to them but from a dude is just weird.
I think that’s a you issue though. Recently a dude complimented my moustache (I grew it out for a while and put a bunch of effort into making it curly) and that felt awesome.
How’s that a me issue? I’m not the one complimenting guys. The only right compliment from a man that feels right is from your father.
I think it’s a you issue because you think giving compliments from man to man is weird. What exactly is your issue with it? Are you afraid it makes you look gay or something? For example, if I’m wearing a shirt of a band I like, and another dude compliments it, why would that not make me feel good? Feeling seen is a human need I think, it gives a sense of belonging.
I think dude shouldn’t feel uptight about this. Tell a guy you like something they do or have shouldn’t be seen as negative. Honestly a small ego boost never hurts.
I told my uber driver the other day that I like his watch, I’m sure he was happy about it.
