Guys, Which compliments mean the most to you?

[Violet_78]

I am talking about sincere, heartfelt compliments.

which things are you most happy to receive compliments about?

your achievements, your intelligence, your skills, your looks, your loyalty, your kindness, your sense of humour, your strength, your impeccable driving skills?
Or something completely different?

I actually think a lot of guys don’t get enough compliments for everything they do.

[serious]

I will answer in parts:

1. "I am talking about sincere, heartfelt compliments.

Yes but honestly I totally dislike compliments so I just give a deaf ear to it. Like I am indifferent to it.


2. "which things are you most happy to receive compliments about?

I don't like to receive compliments but yes if people wish to compliment then they can do so but I just ignore it.


3. "your achievements, your intelligence, your skills, your looks, your loyalty, your kindness, your sense of humour, your strength, your impeccable driving skills?"
Or something completely different?"


Yes I am sure people must have complimented me on some of the things and maybe they were genuine and sincere but I don't remember any of it now because as a habit I just ignore the compliments.

4. "I actually think a lot of guys don’t get enough compliments for everything they do."

Yes what are saying is also true.

A handful of times I’ve been told that I’m a good leader.


That one hits deep, because it shows that I’ve earned their trust and respect, and it’s not as easy of a compliment to get as “you’re handsome”.


Another compliment that hits hard is telling me that I make them feel safe.


I suppose it’s compliments from women that communicate that I’m a good protector, provider, and leader that have a lot of impact.


It makes me feel like I’m doing something right as a man.


Lastly, this one was actually told to me by a fellow man: “You’re a wonderful human being.”


That one was felt on the soul level. Just soul to soul. It was very wholesome and something that I’ll always remember.

Those are good. I really dig the leader one. That says a lot about a man’s substance and character.

[Violet_78]

That’s really interesting, I like you take on this.

Being a leader, that’s a very good one actually
Same with protector and feeling safe - nice !

Those are important qualities and it must have been great to get those compliments.

[dynamicyandere]

Thanks. ✨

Yes, those are compliments that will always be really memorable to me.

Sincere compliments that let you know how much you’ve grown and how far you’ve come.

Men don't get enough, so we really will take any. The more awkward he reacts to the compliment generally means he probably hasn't received many. I try to give homies their flowers when I can since not many people do. Compliment your people when you can. Appreciate those in your lives while they're still here and not when they're gone.

People often tell me that I am intelligent, but it is something that I already know, and the average person is much inferior to me intellectually. I would feel flattered if a person equally or more intelligent than me told me that I am intelligent, but I have not met anyone. no one who is equal or smarter than me.

[Billlewis]

What a badass... I just started following you and I'd like to invite you to follow me as well, Sir, if that's alright. Thank you very much.

Hail thee, marthter :D

[OtterMan68]

I get compliments about my intelligence, kindness, and sense of humor, but never my looks, so I'd be happiest if my looks were complimented.

[Violet_78]

Well I think that’s a very handsome otter in your profile pic

That’s good that you seem to be getting compliments about kindness, humour and intelligence - all very important

I am not sure if I ever give many looks based compliments to guys - need to think about that for a bit

[Anonymous]

That we matter, that we are relevant, that we are loved and wanted, thet we are needed. All things most guys never really hear these days.

[Violet_78]

Thanks that’s a lovely answer
It’s a shame that this isn’t said more often

I try to compliment my male friend when it’s appropriate- though I don’t want to sound cheesy
But he is all these things you mentioned - and more

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you for being one of the good ones.

[andreasderjuengere]

Not that I can't appreciate an appreciation.
But compliments mean little to me.
I know it for myself when I am or was good at something.

[DarkWinterNights]

I only speak for myself, but compliments on my appearance and kindness always feel performative and make me uncomfortable. I would prefer compliments on either a skill I have, or a job I’ve done.

[Violet_78]

Snap, I get really awkward with those types of compliments too, but if it is skill based or something I have done, I can actually appreciate it.

[Billlewis]

When she tells me I'm the best ass kisser she's ever met;)

[Violet_78]

How did I miss that from my list of options 😀

[CVNT5]

babe if you tell me that you love me, i will lovr you harder and get you a ring on your finger and pregnant👉👌💢🤤💕💦

[LiamJHayden]

Anything that is not inherited. Compliments about my height or eye color are pretty meaningless.

[sirderpsalot123]

Anything sincere is appreciated

[Violet_78]

Nice! Yeah they have to be sincere for sure!
