That's cause women are predominantly 'the catch' so complimenting a guy would undermine that and give men the higher ground which would mean taking a hit to their ego.
I'm not good looking so when I'm complimented it's ALWAYS on how I dress, not my personal appearance and I reckon it's a 50-50 split between my mates and women (most of whom are family friends and over 40 with fading looks)...
I've never had an issue telling how someone they looked (girl or guy). If I find them attractive I will tell them. Now, if i am with another guy, then I am going to respect that guy I am with and not comment on your looks. Younger females have not learned the technique of complimenting males (this could be more aged-based of why you received the replies you did).
I personally agree, but that's only because I dislike/forget giving compliments for some reason to both men and women, probably because I really hate receiving them. With men i'm attracted to, I think I'm also scared of flirting or showing interest because I feel like I look like a troll that the guy would just laugh at me.
Tell me about it! I don't know if they are just so concerned about themselves they don't think about it, or if they don't care/want to as they don't want to "feed our ego"? That they think we have.
Exactly. This is the same impression I got. Some girls assume you get called compliments all the time when the reality is very few times the actually do.
I do not have this problem. Several women have said they like my hair, so considering I'm fat, have a scaling and flaking away skin condition on my face which reduces any attractiveness I may actually possess, have dark bags under my eyes from rampant insomnia, and probably can't grow facial hair properly, at least I know there's something about my physical being that some women find appealing. But yeah, you go right ahead being worried women don't compliment you on your appearance enough if you want. I for one just do not care enough to try to be better than the 2/10 I feel like most days. Makes the positive attention I do receive feel all the better.
You look middle eastern on the left and hispanic on the right
He can do well in two big demographics of women. Its pretty cool. Your comment is spot on tough
I'm half Southern Italian so the middle eastern and latino influences aren't off at all
actually girls never compliment me on what i do but they often compliment me on my looks, in fact around 80% of my compliments are about how good looking they find me , still have to face girls how play games and lie lol, life is never easy.
Interesting. For me it's definitely around 20-30% of the time they compliment me on my "looks". I have noticed, though, aside from some girls I've dated, women compliment mostly when they want something from me. "You must work out” is inadvertently followed by a request to carry something lol
yeah girls do tend to ask favors from guys, it did happen to me few times but not enough to consider it anything more than a coincidence, as for the compliments i get them regardless of what i do or dont, in fact they are so random its suprising, one moment iam sitting there with a girl staring at me and the next she's like "youre really good looking you know that? girls really like you "
Lol. I remember I told someone I just met that evening that he looked like Ben Affleck. When his friend asked me if I liked Ben Affleck, I said no.
I've stopped complimenting women too. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, I was trying to hit on everyone. 🤪
Sounds more like your country's thing... In most of the European countries I've noticed people tend to be pretty straight forward... Which is always a plus in my book...
I'm speaking for me only , We like the fact our man is good looking. But when I'm first getting too know you I try too stay away from that.
Great way to put it! :)
Duude you're back, yes women don't compliment men on their looks much, because it doesn't really mean much when you compliment a man on his looks like when you do with a woman, and men don't really find it that important to focus on their looks, but that doesn't mean women don't compliment at all, they always tell you when you're handsome and stuff, they just don't overdo it like guys do, because you know guys aren't all about the looks and not so pretty to do so

Hey man good to see you here. Yeah I partly agree. Some guys over do it that's for sure.
If a male is hot enough women will go above & beyond... in my home town there is a guy who was one tv & really good looking. Girls would fight over him, literally gushing while stood next to him.
Personally compliments are overrated, especially when it pertains to somebody winning the genetic lottery
It depends on girls and which guy she is talking to. I know a lot of girls who compliment whole heartedly and aren't afraid to share their views.
Of cours. I did pointed that out though.
Dude, you are trying to use male brain to understand female brain. It's ridiculous. lol
Here's a couple of reasons I can summize, in general:
-Most dudes are not good looking to some women
-Some dudes think a compliment is an invitation
-Women don't just see physical attractiveness as attractiveness, some of them see looks, personality and style as a whole.
I wanna know more about how they'd hit on you and proposition you.
I dont know about him, but girls never compliment they way I look.
It's usually playful. I think one recent occasion was a girl I approached, she flirted and stuff and then she said "you look charmed".
And I'm like what the fuck is that supposed to mean? I assumed it was a green light (and it was), but it tells you how they'll say whatever instead of telling you they find you attractive.
LOL! If some chick said that to me I'd be like "okay, you've had too much to drink. I'm cutting you off"
lol exactly. But you know, they are completely unaware of this or they simple don't care. Don't get me wrong, and as I said some girls do compliment you but most don't. I actually do the reverse now and compliment MYSELF in front of them, to point out just how terrified they are of saying something complimentary.
Picked up a girl I know for a drink after work and she says “you got a haircut!” and the look in her eyes (with my jacket on ) was like “you look good” but she didn’t say it. I said “you know you can tell me I look good if you want, it’s not gonna fucking kill you. Why don’t you try it. Repeat after me. "You look sharp today!”.
She says “your HAIRCUT looks good”.
What did you say to her after that?
Told her straight up "See, you can't just fucking say it" and laugh it off.
Point is to compliment the shit out of yourself around women. It will drive them crazy. When you change a tire or install a plugin “damn I'm awesome”. They often expect you to be as insecure and low on self esteem as possible. A man who thinks highly of himself – they HATE that shit. But it turns them on.
I would've been like, "its okay, you're embarrassed to say it, but I know you're into me. Your eyes give it away". She'd be like "omg do they really!" It'd be awesome
There you go man haha
You are so right lol. I get attention from women/have girls stalk me etc. But only once when a girl I knew for a while was drunk did i find her confessing that she found me good looking. It's like they don't want to inflate your ego... as if it would given how rare girls say those things.
I've been told I'm good looking by about 6-7 guys (who were straight apart from one). But only 1 girl. I think women only say it a lot to guys that are really handsome... aka model worthy.
wow! u just proved to me that guys are REALLY DUMB. congrats.
gays think everything is hot. cuz they just want to get laid.
girls are just trying to get free drinks by flirting with u.
Hahahaha your generation is doomed.. woo hoo the end of the world is so close I can taste it. im so fricking excited!
You're enthusiasm in being pessimist is inspiring!
Just because he figured out a bit late that girls dont compliment guys anywhere near the amount girls compliment guys, doesn't mean he doesn't knowthat they are just flirting for free drinks.
He's not dumb. He is just pointing out an observation.
Guys have unusually been rude when I give compliments so I stopped. They act confused or shocked then say "Thanks" or "cool"... then again I gave stuff like hair, eyes or clothing compliments.
I never compliment guys I find extremely attractive since I feel they'll get extra cocky with it and say "oh I know "
Guys don't complimented often so it may come as a shock to us when we do hear it. We wonder if the girl is really being genuine or just wants something (a free drink).
That shock may come of as rudeness but trust me we like (and often need) to hear it.
@somewheresomeway lol free drink? I do it when I'm on the sidewalk, besides I never butter people up to get something, that's being fake
Don't hesitate to throw out a compliment or two every once in a while. It will help make the guy you like know you are interested.
We don't realize that it's socially acceptable, just like it's OK to approach first. I try to compliment guys more now when I approach them, lol. ^_^
Good take. All basically true. I have been told a few times that I'm attractive but it's very rare.
Thanks man, and yes exactly.
