i know how you feel man , but you must know that women aren't visual like men , no matter how handsome or hot a guy is if he is a little bit introvert he will be down rated , we must accept that truth , thats how God created us , both sexes are different mentally and physically , even at past they thought that men and women are two different creatures.
I generally don't compliment guys unless I have a romantic connection to them. I'm not a flirty person. To me compliments are reserved for someone I have feelings for.
Which is something I think my boyfriend appreciates. Being that I don't really give a shit about how other guys look. Can I recognoize if a guy is good looking? Yes. Do I care? Nope.
In my experience, I am usually not bothered by it until she then later when in a relationship asks how I didn't know she had a crush on me, like she expected me to know for sure.
Well I love complimenting women on there looks, voice, personality, and everything. I'm not attracted to guys so I don't usually compliment them on there appearance unless it's like, "You're attractive for a guy."
Never occured you that they simply find you handsome enough to actually say it? This whole take is just fishing for compliments. Not hot bro.

Most folk around here (including women) get where I'm coming from here. There's interesting convo going on elsewhere so if that's what you got from this, cool beans.
There is a difference between fishing for compliments and going without none. Girls are told it all the time, even when they are not remotely good looking. If you are funny women say it... if you are kind they say it... if you are good looking they keep their mouth shut.
@TheUsername27 I don't know but I really do compliment people. Under one condition though. When I actually see something I find worth complimenting. Also, people who compliment women are in most cases men. No one's forcing you to compliment girls for no reason. Except we all actually know what the reasons are.
Of course I would get over it. I don't walk around expecting people to give me compliments. If people don't compliment me, I have two assumptions: a) they actually don't like the way I look b) they do but they don't feel like saying it But 99,9999% of the time I don't even think about it. Let alone write a whole take.
But I can pretty much guarantee you would if you NEVER got them. That's what it's like for a lot of guys. We never get any, ever! It doesn't make you exactly feel good about yourself or desired you know? You women get it all the time so you're used to it, but just imagine NEVER getting them from anyone.
Yeah that's the sexist mentality and it's sad. I can only imagine if this was reversed how you women would feel and say!! lol You're right, most guys just hide this feeling because of the sexist views by society ("you're wearing a dress today" is the perfect example). We're human just like you are though, and we have the same feelings.
@AllThatSweetJazz But this take isn't about that. Cuz this guy isn't satysfied with being complimented on his shirt, or being compared to a celebrity or something else. Which he is. But no, it's not enough for him. He wants women to feed his ego. Well you know what guys, feed it yourself.
It is about receiving complements though. It might be more apt to say his ego is starving and yours is not. What's wrong with complementing someone? Or rather, wanting to be complemented? People shouldn't be able to enjoy feeling attractive?
No he's not twisting your words. Imagine as a woman, you never getting noticed for your appearance or getting compliments, you women would be complaining as depressed so badly!! "What's wrong with me? Am I not attractive?" etc etc. There's that now and you women get it all the time, never mind if you got nothing ever. If you ask me, you women have the MUCH bigger ego than we guys have. Or shall we say "need to feel desired". All we're trying to say hear is that we guys also have that "need". Granted, it's not like yours, we don't need as much as you women do, but it's still there. We don't need 500 compliments/day, or even 1 a day or even 1 a week, just the odd time a compliment to let us know we're desired is nice that's all I'm saying. And I'm not "crying" or complaining about this (ie "wearing a dress"), I just saying how it is for us that's all. Most of us guys never ever get even 1 compliment. It would be nice as a guy from time to time to hear this from women.
I wish women could go without the constant compliments they get on their appearance for a month.. they'd all seek counselling and prozac. Girls are way more insecure about their looks... which is funny given how much girls tell their mates how XYZ they are and so do men.

Good take. I never really look for compliments, I feel comfortable in myself but it would be nice.
Exactly!

This felt really strange reading this, I’ve never heard of a man who asks for or expects compliments about his looks 🤔.
I don't. That isn't the point of this take, nor why I wrote it.

we want to be the center of attention.
Yep. Basically. And we know that.
Well points for honesty! XD
Yes, because somehow society has us validating women by complimenting them on their looks and not men.
I have been complimented a lot by women on my looks. Just don't act arrogant.
Women tend to hate that and if you're good looking she will probably say you are handsome.
You are good! I'm not afraid to say it and I say it to my boyfriend all the time.
It is because women think men look ugly
It's probably true to a lot of them XD
Why do I think this needs to go on a MGTOW rant blog?
Cuz it does.
I compliment when I mean it.
I don't need compliments. I just need a smile, a hug and a kiss...
I know girl who complimeted my looks and I look average..
Maybe they aren't into you or is not their style
i don't think women would compliment a guy they don't know or are beginning to get to know them
So you're mad because girls dont tell you you're hot. Lol.
How the hell did you even read that in what I wrote lmao
Women Don't Normally Like Complimenting Men On Their Looks ↗
Yeah that's the title... question still stands XD
Pretty sure you know what I meant.
Even assuming the way you put it is true, what's wrong with that? He would still have a point.
Guys. Just get over it.
Would you "just get over it"? We are no different than you women in that we like and have the human need to feel desired as well.
Of course I would get over it. I don't walk around expecting people to give me compliments. If people don't compliment me, I have two assumptions:
a) they actually don't like the way I look
b) they do but they don't feel like saying it

'You're wearing a dress today.'
...
...
'Yes I am.'
That's how pretty much all the guys I know talk. Personally I find it kinda cute.
Yeah that's the sexist mentality and it's sad. I can only imagine if this was reversed how you women would feel and say!! lol You're right, most guys just hide this feeling because of the sexist views by society ("you're wearing a dress today" is the perfect example). We're human just like you are though, and we have the same feelings.
Lol I just told you it is reversed, and that I think it's cute.
I don't think that's what he meant by 'reversed.' I think he was referring to you having the same experience men have i. e reversed.
That is; you would say "you're wearing a shirt" and they would say "yes, I am" and you *would never receive compliments* on your dress.
@AllThatSweetJazz But this take isn't about that. Cuz this guy isn't satysfied with being complimented on his shirt, or being compared to a celebrity or something else. Which he is. But no, it's not enough for him. He wants women to feed his ego. Well you know what guys, feed it yourself.

@AllThatSweetJazz You're just twisting my words to hear what you want to hear. It's getting boring.
Also, 3 against 1? Shame on you guys. :P
But it's been a lot of fun chatting with you.
And, I just wanna let all the three of you know, your shirts look AH-MAZING.

I like complimenting about anything.
You sound insecure.
Not really.
