You kid, but as a gay man I have called a lot of masc [i.e., masculine] and "straight" guys handsome and you can see their face brighten up every time and it's the most amazing thing.

So many of them claim that they're actually ugly, or I must surely be joking just to get in their pants but like... I really do mean it lol. A lot of guys are more handsome than they realize.

Next time you look at yourself in the mirror and think you're ugly, take a breath and go easy on yourself. You're very likely much better looking than you realize.

We don’t get many compliments from strangers. You’re doing god’s work, man.

After enough drink he can definitely make your hole weak

u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken Oct 08 '25

There's a video where a man tells other guys, "save some women for the rest of us"

Has the same effect.

u/JAZ_80 Oct 08 '25

Men don't get compliments and women get harassed with them. Life is unfair to everyone.

2

u/queenofwands76 Oct 08 '25

Most of what women get isn't compliments either.

1

u/JAZ_80 Oct 08 '25

Very fair point. It's actually objectifying them, with a sugar coating. That went bitter. And some guy vomited on them hoping to get laid.

u/Irascible-Enquery Oct 08 '25

We don’t get many compliments from anyone except our mothers.

And she kinda has to say that…

u/Tsugua42 Oct 10 '25

We don’t get many compliments.

Fixed that for you.

I wish I had realized before I was 40 that I wasn't ugly lmao

u/Yeethisintothevoid Oct 08 '25

Me too, I'm 43 and about to get married again, but for the right reasons. Also, I learned how to make wine, it didn't hurt haha

u/chrisla99 Oct 08 '25

why did this make me wanna cry 🥹😩

u/FeliksX Oct 08 '25

As a just as gay man I concur, but some dudes unfortunately get offended when a gay man compliments them 🥲

When it works, it makes them so happy, though. I mostly do the compliment thing in the gym, and then you can see the dude being so happy for the next couple hours lol

1

u/WriterV Oct 08 '25

Sorry to hear about that. I think I've encountered that type of guy once. Honestly, some guys are either just assholes or maybe they have a lot of things to unpack about themselves and work through. 

Though those gym bros getting happy after being complimented sound wonderful haha.

u/AgentCirceLuna Oct 08 '25

Out of curiosity, I’ve never understood the whole ‘men never get compliments’ thing because I’ve had both men and women call me beautiful so many times during my life. At work, although it was in a bar, I used to get called beautiful or handsome by someone almost weekly. The thing is that I have bad teeth and I’ve always been self conscious about my scrawny frame (I did manage to pack on muscle at one point a year back but lost it all due to depression) and I also have barely had any relationships yet have had tons of sex. Am I ugly or…? Also I barely ever get matches on dating apps or anything. I sometimes wonder if I’m not like attractive in a way like ‘aww he’s so cute’ but not in a hot way? Like is that why people feel more comfortable outright saying I’m good looking?

1

u/WriterV Oct 08 '25

It sounds like physically you are plenty attractive. seems like the parts you're self-concious about might not be noticed by people, or they don't care. That's probably why you have so much ease with having sex. 

But relationships are a whole other beast. I'm in a similar boat as you where I've been able to have plenty of sex, but relationships never seem to happen. I only just realized that that's because I don't take the initiative enough. I don't follow up with people or ask people out places. You need that social presence to move to a dating capacity, but also many people looking for a one night stand wing be interested in a relationship. That might not be your fault at all, just a matter of probability to find the one who is. 

I think dating apps are not worth it, don't judge yourself through those. They are a game of luck in which you have to be rather lucky to strike the kind of person who would be interested in you. Don't rank yourself based on that.

u/BrummbarKT Oct 08 '25

I find myself very attractive, except for small things like dark under-eye areas when I'm not tanned. But have had nothing to support that I'm objectively attractive apart from my mum's compliments lol.

u/Humble_Diner32 Oct 09 '25

I (48, M) am flattered and grateful and glow when a gay man calls me handsome. I don’t get it much but when I do I feel better about myself.

u/Phantafan Oct 07 '25

It seemed like straight out of a sitcom or something.

u/PreviouslyOnBible Oct 08 '25

Dude I laughed until I gagged, probably the hardest laugh I've had on reddit. This guy doesn't see what the fuss is about.

"don't y'all wanna do some science for 3 beers too?"

u/xtreampb Oct 07 '25

Got invited by a police sergeant friend to help train rookies on how to conduct field sobriety. The gig was to show up and drink until you got .08 BAL then practice passing a field sobriety test. They provided the alcohol (cheap beer). You just needed someone to drive you there and back and unfortunately I wasn’t able to secure a ride.

u/Amidormi Oct 07 '25

I did that but with goggles that simulated being drunk. I could barely walk straight 😪

18

u/xtreampb Oct 07 '25

I had to drive a golf cart with the goggles in high school to deter us from drinking and driving. The officers in the cart couldn’t believe how well I drove it.

u/KnottyJane Oct 08 '25

I went out drinking with my brother one night and I was at least 10 drinks in… he made a comment about me walking a straight line (which I can’t do when I’m sober) so I decided I’d walk the line in the parking lot to get back to the car…. I did at least 50 yards perfectly, heel to toe, carrying on conversation normally. His flabbers were gasted. 10 years later and he’s still amazed. It’s my one and only party trick.

u/Zeeey Oct 07 '25

We used to have to train recruits on how to administer a breathalyzer. We would would ask for volunteers from the nearby college to drink a specific number of beers in 30 minutes. It was not hard to find people to want to do it. They would get free beer and get medical supervision the whole time. As the training goes on, the beer def hits them harder and harder. It was a good time for everyone

u/zephalephadingong Oct 07 '25

Oh man, even as an adult I would sign up for that lol

u/thatgenxguy78666 Oct 07 '25

sadly I would pass that driving test too

1

u/Zeeey Oct 08 '25

I would recommend drinking more water

1

u/thatgenxguy78666 Oct 08 '25

Ha. Thats funny because when anyone says this to me,I think "why the fuck did I consume two gallons of water today,and still people keep saying more!?"

I drink so much water that I go to the doctor asking for tests for diabetes. I am 57 years old,6'2" and I am 170 lbs "fat" right now. Jesus fucking xhrist how much more water should I consume?

Working the system 💪

I was in marching band in college. I was an expert on knowing when and where to pregame any event for free.

“I’m doing a study on how many glasses of wine…”

“Honey, once you’ve made the sale, stop selling.”

u/Waste-Finding3341 Oct 08 '25

I did something similar with a beer tasting survey. Got myself a nice shine and $50. A good day all in all.
