and I do get compliments often enough, for various reasons... it is not something that I make a big deal about, I just appreciate it when it is genuine
Insecure men and women are hungry for attention and compliments. Secure ones do not care for sexual/looks based compliments as they’re secure in themselves and not thirsty. People who are hungry for compliments are very likely to cheat on you.
@spartan55 that’s not false at all. Insecure people have been proven time and time again to be unfaithful. When they have a meltdown and someone else comes along to stroke their ego they’ll melt into their arms faster than candle wax when it’s ignoted.
No. We just want affirmation from the one person that we care about. But it doesn't have to be a lot, and it doesn't have to be all the time. Just say what's on your mind when you feel it. Don't hold it in. That's all we ask.
Maybe some guys when they're younger. I never really got any compliments growing up so now on the odd occasion that I do, they don't register and I'm indifferent to them. I'm not hungry for them. I just don't have appetite to care anymore.
I'm a traditional type guy & have never been 'hungry' for compliments. As it happens based on how I live my life and run stuff I get compliments about that stuff. Maybe not the kind of compliment you had in mind tho.
Being hungry for compliments is based on the personality of the individual. Men receiving less compliments on average is just statistics, so not being prepared to receive one can be more visible on men. Doesn't mean they are hungry for it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣God no. You've been on this site long enough to know that more females come on here for validation than men do.
Oof no that is not true. When men get in a private convo in PM things start coming to surface and most of them are searching for a girl to just even be nice to them, give some attention and compliments.
We appreciate that stuff too, but that wasn't specified in the question. To what we can see here out in the open, there are far more females than males looking.
I'd say true though many don't want to admit it. Many guys think of themselves as problem solvers so they wanna do something for their women. If they don't get something in return chances are that they are less willing to do it the next times.
I think it is more ( and it probably the same for women) the is a lot expected of us by so many different things ( work, society, family, friends, community) that getting acknowledgement of our efforts comes to few and far between.
I would see my brothers come home on cloud 9 from just a compliment, and it would last for days. It took me a while to realize that they weren't getting them like I was. I try to do better.
It’s soooooo rare for a guy to get a compliment from a girl that when they do get one, they misinterpret the comment into thinking a girl is interested in them.
They're nice to receive but we are all not alike. Some guys want validation or attention like many women do and some guys could care less about a compliment.

I would say it's true.. Women in our society are taught to expect it.. Men are taught that no matter what we do we don't deserve it.

We love and hate being complimented
It can certainly make their day but theirs also the fact some of us have no clue what to do with compliments *myself included*

That last sentence is 100% false.

I wouldn't say men are hungry for them, but you better believe when we get them that we hold onto them and save them to our memory.

Tbh I still never notice that with the ladies here. They are more lowkey compared social media like insta where ever girl is showing off bikini pics
How is my bikini body (2022)? ↗
Here's one right here. Not sure how it's still up.
Yeah but that is on how do I look so doesn't count as fully posted since it goes away in 24 hr
How does it not? That is looking for validation/compliments. That's what that whole question section is meant for. Compliments.

No, I kinda hate compliments. They make me feel awkward but I also appreciate it though. Im usually okay with a compliment or two but dont over do it.
Absolutely ducking yes. Not even joking we’re just conditioned to bottle our emotions or we’re not “being a man.”
You shouldn't have to. Men can express there emotions whenever they want to
But we frequently get chastised from our parents for doing so, even as adults. It’s just the reality we live in.

Guys deserve them too
I agree.. My wife agrees with you too!!
Yes. Women literally never compliment me, on anything. And apparently, this is the case for most men.
No we are so used to not get any that we don't hunger for them.
Rarely if ever do guys get compliments. As far as being hungry for them? You learn to deal with it.
