Do you get weird when another man pays you a compliment like how good you look?
Ladies, what do you all think as well?
I am not talking about sexual stuff only. I mean in general.
u never been an issue to me, I haven't felt insecure like this... through the years, I've been to schools with a whole lot of dudes, since age 6 to 20, a whole lot of classmates, then there's the many circles of dudes from the sports I've done for 25 years... the places I've lived are usually crowded, lots of neighbors so... that makes it for a whole lot of tease, and banter, and joking, messing around among guys
I've seen it all lmao... so to me, hugging someone, contact with someone, joking around with someone, being open, being vulnerable, expressing yourself in any way is not a problem, around here is not frowned upon really, not in the general aspect anyway (individual or specific exceptions will always exist) you do have a lot of freedom and space and chance to just be yourself in any way that is
even if you're gay, you can be around men and it won't be the biggest issue... so closeness among men has never made me sexually insecure or not comfortable
No, not really weird. But depends who. But does bother most men lol.
Bite it. Lol 😂 nor do I care who’s in the room

I don't hug my friends. I do hug my nephew and my favorite Uncle, but I shake hands with my bother in law and my male cousins.
Last week at the range, one of my shooting buddies complimented me on my new Beretta shooting shirt (it does look nice, it should for the price!). The same with , y newly purchased pair of Adidas Codechaos golf shoes. I was told that they looked good- I hope so.
Heck yeah. Can't give you an explanation. I'm not homophobic or any other thing, if you were thinking that. I respect all kinds of people and try to keep and open mind and understand logic. But in this case, my body doesn't accept it. If one of my guy friends we're to hug me tightly, I would instantly push them away and would throw up. That's just the way I am, may be. I mean i have seen uncles and older men stari g at me sometimes and it makes me feel so insecure and disgusted that i can't describe, but same thing with respect to girls and women are fine with me.
In general I’m shy so I don’t show myself around like in a changing room 😂 jokes apart, I live in a country where kiss (on the cheeks) between men and strangers is traditional as a form of greeting, so I do that without problems.
Usually I’m embarrassed by compliments in general, so it doesn’t matter if they come from a man or a woman, it’s basically the same.
Hugs and casual contact aren’t sexual, so there’s no question of sexuality therein. When men pay me compliments, it’s not on how i look. Those are for women. Men prefer compliments on what we are and what we do. So, again, no question of sexuality therein.
The answer to the primary question is, yes i’m quite comfortable in my sexuality. I’ve had sex with other men’s wives, fiancées and girlfriends while they watched, and i’ve had several mfm threesomes.
I have no problems with a close friend giving me and embrace or vice versa, or complimenting me or I him. Most of my close guy friends are ex military or I have known for 10 to 30 years. Sometimes when we have tough decisions to make or we are struggling with something or we are going through a hard time talking about it, a hug, or a compliment goes a long way to encourage us.
I don't have a problem with hugging or touching (non sexually) other guys. And I'm very open about my sexuality (Straight). And I'm open about what I like or what kind of gal I'm attracted to.
Being around other guys isn't going to change how I act or how I am. So there's nothing weird about it at all. To me.
Tbh sexuality doesn't factor into it I really don't like it when most try to hug me I'm just not comfortable with physical touch from many which has irony to it tbh. But there are a few people I don't mind and even like getting hugged by it actually relaxes me. But I'm not close enough to any guys to be comfortable with that.
I don't mind any compliment. I will politely say thank you but let's not linger. As for sexuall preferences I don't feel comfortable around men because to the majority of men, even though they secretly think about it, they'll claim anything as "gay" if it's not a woman with a vagina and it's not their genitals. I just call most men sexually uncultured.
Yah, i was eating a popsicle and noticed guys staring at my mouth. I almost threw up
I have friends and acquaintances of various sexualities. I can only think of one real reason a man would be uncomfortable around gay men. Every other reason is just a rationalization.
In Australia guys don't hug each other and we would think it weird/gay. A handshake is as touchy feelly as it gets.
Do you ever read any responses? or is it just your job to "pump" out questions?
About as comfortable as I would be at a 'Stars On Ice' event
I don't get weirded out. My friends and I usually greet each other by hugging, so it's not weird for me.
I'm bisexual so obviously I'm pretty comfortable. I know not to make it weird around straight dudes though.
There isn't really any guy hugging or touching where I live, but I do get hit on by gays a lot. I shrug it off.
Best friends will hug, Oohh dear boys hangover with alcohole there is no horrible things.
I don't care if another guy hugs me if I know him.
Ill hug, shake, hands, give pats on the back stuff like that
No. I hug my Christian brothers and sisters at church every Sunday.
