How would you feel if a man told you that you would be a good mother?

Assuming he's a friend him and he isn't a complete stranger

Flattered

Weirded out

Neutral

Everything can be different depending on context.

I once had a friend say it to me because I was worried about a sick friend who I wanted to stay in bed so she could get better.
And I more took it as a joking matter saying "I know right," with a cheeky smile.

It depends on the context, but I think I'd be flattered.
I'd ask him why he thinks so though, out of curiousity and also because I would want to understand his thinking.

Weirded out.. he should definitely explain it, because my lifestyle is not near settling down and how I am is not very motherly :D..
Only one person has ever said it to me.. a guy I had dated for like half a year.. he could not explain it, and in general he was full of bullshit, so just another one of his non-genuine compliments xp

It takes a certain kind of man to think and then say something like that. It would also have to be carefully placed into a situation/conversation well or could come off creepy.
He would probably be a guy who grew up surrounded by woman. My first thoughts would be it was a sign he was a good man.

Flattered, but didn't change my mind about not having kids. Last person to tell me that was an ex, he knew i dont plan on having kids (meanwhile he does). So he asked me why and gave him a couple reasons including i dont think I’d be a good mother. Told me i would be because of how i take care of him, lol he was sweet but its a lot different.

It's so stereotypical of him to assume that if I got a uterus, I'll use it.
No i hate the idea of pregnancy since I was a kid and I hate it even more now.

I'd be weirded out. I guess it really depends on the context or the person but I would still be weirded out by it. Maybe I just don't like it as a compliment (?).

[NicoletteXO]

I think it's a wonderful compliment. It means he appreciates qualities in you beyond the superficial. It also indicates he is probably a family-oriented man - which is a good sign.

I'd feel a bit annoyed because I'm not interested in having kids with anyone. This comment would make me feel like we're not compatible.

My brother told me that once a few years ago, I still remember that as one of the nicest moments we had. :)

It's happened a few times and I always thought it was weird... how do you know I'd be a good mother lol?

[JenniferStar]

The only ones I know that would or have said that meant it as a compliment, so that's how I would take it.
