Guys, what do you think if/when a woman calls you handsome?

[Anonymous]

I am curious to know what is your first thought when a woman calls you handsome? Do you feel flattered, or you get the idea she’s into you for calling you that? What do you think if she calls you this?

(Personally I don’t call a man handsome, smart, or well mannered IF I don’t really think he really is any of those, but I’ve had experiences when guys automatically think I’m flirting... so are the words suggestive or what is it? )

Men receive far fewer compliments from women than the reverse. Furthermore, it's a physical compliment. As for whether the guy takes it as flirting, generally he will, because it's so rare and it's an ego boost.

Of course, it also depends on his mental state and his self esteem. I don't think I would have taken it as just a compliment when I was younger because I wanted a girlfriend super badly.

If she really means it then I love it. Women rarely compliment men but expect men to shower them with compliments. If I can believe her that is really amazing feeling. However, the rare times a woman does it, I think it is because they feel obligated just because the guy said they were beautiful.

WHENEVER MY CRUSH CALLS, OR IF HE VISITS MY WORK, i WILL GREET HIM "HELLO HANDSOME", OT IN EMAILS "HEY GOOD LOOKING". I KNOW WHEN ITS FACE TO FACE HE BLUSHES A LITTLE AND SMILES. SO I TEND TO THINK THEY LIKE IT

[JCLaird]

I wouldn't say that they are suggestive. But I also know that men receive far fewer compliments than women do. Handsome is a physical trait and thus if someone says that, it's not impossible to link it with flirting.

I think it is also situational. At a business event it's rather clear it's not flirting. But in a bar or night club then giving a physical compliment is more in line with flirting.
Hope it helps

Thanks I guess. I don't really know how to react because it doesn't really affect me. Great, she thinks I'm hot, the feeling is rarely mutual.

Nice honest answer!

[parttimelover]

Just nice. I wouldn't think i was immediately in but i just had a chance.

I would rather she called me "hot" then i'd immediately ask her out. That meant she wanted my body

[Eyes_On_Me]

Damn I dunno. I've only ever been called cute or hot, not handsome. If someone did call me handsome, I wouldn't necessary think they're into me, but take it as a compliment.

I would say thanks but to me it's kind of like if she said you remind me of my brother or something like that. It's just a plutonic way of saying hey your a decent look guy.

I don't know but for me handsome is the beast compliment I can give a guy when it comes to looks.

[RandomBoneratwork]

I feel flatterd but iam always passive with my actions towards girls saying that because it gives me the feeling they just want you to feel good. And most of the time girls just say this and dont mean anything else with it. Correct me if i'am wrong

[ObliviousJester]

I'm usually immediately trying to figure what her angle is

[WhistleForTheChoir]

I usually assume she wants something, or she's pitying me in an attempt to raise my confidence, but I don't take compliments well in general.

[Paul09]

I blush. It's rare to hear, and very nice to hear. I try not to think that the girl likes me by saying that. Because you know women are confusing to read, and I have zero clue how to.

[Coconut_Man]

I'll be like "come on tell me something I don't know"😂 jk..

[Smegskull]

Whatever I was thinking about before she interrupted my thoughts to call me handsome.

[LegateLanius]

I only ever get compliments from women that are old enough to be my mother, so i would be skeptical if someone in the age range i would date, 18 to 36.

[unluckily_married]

I like it sounds more manly for lack of better words.

[taleswapper]

I think she needs glasses. I'm more the comfortable sweater kind of guy... ;) And yes, it's a form of flirting; otherwise, why say anything at all?

[573v3thek1d]

I would think she just wants to be nice.

[AxMed]

That's like the worst thing that might happen to me x)

[MrPhunk]

I guess they want something's from the guy…🤔

[DanOh2017]

I hiss and run to a dark corner.

[Asker]

Why?

[DanOh2017]

Because I was detected and need to drop agro before returning to stealth.

It makes my day and gives me a confidence boost.

She's joking or mocking me
