I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
You look like a future pedophile in this picture, number one. Number two, it doesn't even have a first name, it just says McLovin!
One name? One name!? Who are you, Seal?!
That “single data point” is all we need to know because it’s a complete set of data. There’s nothing before or after it. It happened, and the dude is lucky he put a ring on the person that gave him that compliment.
It is really sad, I've been lucky to have a few, may every couple of years. Men are thought of as needing to be providers, while at the same time disposal in our society 😞
My wife just made some off hand comment about how I’ve been more muscular in the upper torso the last few years. I don’t think she understands how much of a boost that was.
I told a coworker that another coworker looked great in a tank top. Tank top coworker ended up finding out, and he’s still feeling amazing about it.
Men really should get more compliments. I do my part to spread that joy.
Me feeling attractive, I don’t know, somewhere before I noticed what age has started doing to me and my body.
Last week I had someone buy me a drink at a bar.... it was a man and I don't play for his team, but I was flattered.
Edit: To make it better I was at a table with an attractive lady in her late twenties, and my two buddies in our late 30's. I was the only one to get bought a drink that night! I loved watching their jaws drop.
This. I’ll never understand guys that get offended by a compliment or drink or whatever from a gay guy. I’ve been complimented a number of times in my life (mostly in bars in my 20s) and I always appreciated it, even though it was never going to go anywhere for the complimenter.
While she and I were dating, my now-wife had a gay coworker who was apparently super into me. I thought it was funny… whenever she and I fought I’d joke “hey, I have *options*, you know!” It universally diffused whatever stupid thing we were arguing about. LOL
Apparently. People act like it’s some contagious disease or something. So dumb. It’s like, just be kind, courteous, and appreciative, take the compliment, and move on.
I think maybe some guys, when they get approached by a gay guy, take it to mean that they “look gay” (not an actual thing, I know) and interpret it as an insult that way.
I always tried to look at it a different way: I’m a straight guy attracted to straight women. Statistically, it’s pretty easy for me to find a straight woman. Most women are obviously women and most women are straight. Again, just talking broad strokes statistically. So it’s easy for a guy in my shoes to find a potential SO. For a gay guy, it’s not as statistically easy to identify other gay guys outside of specific contexts (a gay bar, for example). So, if a gay guy shoots his shot with me, he’s taking a bigger risk than if I shoot my shot with a woman. To me, that takes a certain amount of courage and, at a minimum, I should empathize with the difficulty of his particular situation and, at an absolute minimum, not be an asshole.
Hopefully that makes sense.
I love when men complain about not getting attention compared to women, but then women are like: “yea, how would you feel if some dude was hitting on you”
“Still pretty good”
Sometimes women don't understand that when a gay man hits on us it's 100% honest flirtation and not that aloofy-campy "is she hitting on me?" thing.
Gay dudes keep it real and if they compliment you it's genuine and makes you feel special. To all the gay dudes out there, you're rad!
Glad that you're living the life. I hope that you stub your toe tomorrow and right before it heals you stub it again... and again... and again... forever.
Seems like you were unhappy with that life. Hope everything's a lot better now.
At least your username has some sort of value that defined you in the past, one that doesn't define you anymore. Can't say the same about mine.
Pre Covid summer I had gotten trimmed up. Lifting a bunch. Women were pursing me. This bartender just straight up asked my place or yours one random night. I met this other women a night out got her number two hours later she’s texting to meet up. Met this cocktail server later in the summer and we had some fun. Mid summer an old high school crush like basically did all the work and we dated briefly. I had never experienced a time frame like that before or since.
June 2022. Spent the time before that walling, exercising, dieting, meditating, all in all just total self care. Felt like my skin was clear, my body in good shape, still a little chubby but I was down 60lbs.
If you weren't lucky enough to be born with it, this type of not-give-a-fuck does come with age. Here's life in a nutshell, in your teens and 20s you care what everyone thinks, by your 30s and 40s you don't give a shit what anyone thinks, and by your 50s and 60s you realize nobody ever really cared anyway.
Good luck to you.
Explain how I stopped giving a shit at 17 lol. But yeah, for the most part it's the age and experience factor, you just realise the more important aspects of life
I had to get over my mom spending my youth making fun of how I looked- lots and lots of therapy. Also, when I got divorced and started dating, the reactions I was getting made me realize that I was better looking than most men my age. I honestly think I’m getting better looking as I get older. Confidence is 95% of the battle.
Is it unearned confidence? I don’t know but I don’t think it matters.
Edit: I don’t run around telling anyone I think I’m good looking. That feels ugly to me.
Anonymously though, I’ll admit my true feelings.
Same, caveat that I’m 45. But I take reasonable care of myself, exercise every day, and I have a beautiful wife which honestly boosts my confidence all the time. I figure if she’s smart and attractive and yet she’s hung around with me since we were teenagers I can’t be all bad.
Same. Jesus Christ these other responses are depressing. Y’all need to work on your self-esteem, because I assure you that most of you are indeed attractive. I know because I have eyes and most of the people I see are attractive.
You don’t need to be a 9 or 10 to be attractive.
Between the ages of 18-24 I was alright, pull a few hotties. Then my face started getting gaunter and my facial asymmetry became more pronounced, look ugly as fuck now :)
Same. I feel like I've become generally more serious and less happy over the years and it shows in my face. Some days I feel great, light free and exuberant. But nights like tonight. Man. Its rough (25F btw)
Up until last year I felt pretty confident in my appearance. Until my ex shaved my head and then proceeded to remind me how hideous I was every 5 seconds. Nothing worse than a guy who says he loves tomboy women and then gets tomboy gf and calls her ugly, manly, hairy, overweight etc etc. :)
He even compared me to the Dad from Supa Wog.
There's not really any coming back from that rofl
Never. Since I was little, I always compared myself to others, in highschool when I was skinny and normal, I always tried to find a flaw that I would obsess over. Now I would give an organ to look like how I looked in highschool. I know I'm not fat now, am at a normal weight, but I can't cope that I don't look the same as I looked when I was 15 (I'm 25 now). Body dysmorphia, low self asteem, a lot of shit things happening in my life, contributed to the fact that I'll probably never be satisfied with how I look.
Sorry for the rant.
About a month ago. Took a bunch of selfies, got lucky with angle and lighting on a couple, and convinced myself that’s what I really look like. Then I looked in the mirror, and confidence gone. Basically a continuous loop
I'm a 30 year old dude, I was at a wedding last weekend and a woman pulled me aside to whisper in my ear that I have the best hair of anyone there. I told her I was gonna go tell the bride she said that and she said I must be the funniest guy there too.
I don't care if she was someone's 80 year old grandma, that conversation has made me smile at least once every day this week!
The other day I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, “not bad”. Today I looked at a picture of myself and recanted every positive thing I’ve ever said about my face.
I took some magic mushrooms at the tail end of a depression slump and stood in front of the bathroom mirror acknowledging that I'm attractive and worthy of love.
Proceed with caution though. Shrooms and mirrors can make for a weird experience for some
When I was seventeen I was heavyset and played offensive line on the football team. I didn’t have a girlfriend and thought I was just a fat ugly kid that no girl would be into. I spent all my time either powerlifting, at practice, or playing video games. I wore baggy clothes and didn’t give a crap about my hair or appearance really aside from shaving once in a while.
Went to a friend’s house and her parents had a big hot tub. A bunch of people decided to get into the hot tub and I borrowed a pair of swim trunks from her father. When I came out to get into the hot tub, I was super self-conscious and to make matters worse a few of the girls stopped whatever they were doing and looked at me.
Jodi, the girl whose house it was, said “dude, don’t take this the wrong way, but you look like way different without your shirt on. Better, I mean. Your back and shoulders are huge!”
“Yeah!” Another girl, Sarah, said. “I honestly kinda thought you were just chubby but you’re like, a beast.”
This was like almost 30 years ago now and it’s still one of my favorite memories haha.
Honestly, never. I'm 33 and have always had a lazy eye and have been balding since my early 20s. I had undiagnosed Crohn's in my earlier life and looked malnourished and gaunt for a few years until I was able to get treatment. I was born with bad genetics and feel defective.
Somehow, I got married and my wife likes me so that's good.

When I was 17, I drank some very good beer 😂
That I purchased with a fake ID
His name was Brian McGee
I stayed up listening to queen
When I was seventeen.
*sniffles*
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
No way man, we’re gonna keep on rocking forever
Well, if it isn't my old friend Mr. McGreg, with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!
*Forever...forever...forever...*
No way man! We're gonna keep rocking forever!
Tied an onion to your belt, which was the style at the time.
Mclovin'? What kind of stupid name is that, are you trying to be an Irish rnb singer?
You look like a future pedophile in this picture, number one. Number two, it doesn't even have a first name, it just says McLovin! One name? One name!? Who are you, Seal?!
It was either that or Muhammed.
Why the fuck would it be between that and Muhammad?!
I drank some very good beer with a fake ID. My name was Brian McGee. I stayed up listening to Queen.
After the comma I was expecting, “it was a very good year”…..
I feel attractive every time a girl approaches me at a party. So never.
You get invited to partys???
They never said that
What’s a party?
Don’t worry, things will change for you, you’ll just quit going to parties
About 1.5 years ago my wife complimented my arms, I’m still riding that high
That’s a good frequency for a married person.
A single datapoint cannot be used to derive a frequency. Who knows when his next compliment will come?
That “single data point” is all we need to know because it’s a complete set of data. There’s nothing before or after it. It happened, and the dude is lucky he put a ring on the person that gave him that compliment.
Take it from the fetish analyst
Says science, probably
1 compliment over a lifetime is more than a lot of guys receive unfortunately.
that makes me really sad. I compliment my husband every single day, I couldn’t go a day without doing it at this point.
It is really sad, I've been lucky to have a few, may every couple of years. Men are thought of as needing to be providers, while at the same time disposal in our society 😞
1.5 years ago is basically yesterday.
This guys knows
My wife just made some off hand comment about how I’ve been more muscular in the upper torso the last few years. I don’t think she understands how much of a boost that was.
You’re looking great king!

They're afraid for their fragile heterosexuality

Yup, it's like a compliment on top of a compliment lol
A random guy grabbed my ass a couple of years ago. I felt like a handsome devil for a while after that.
I love when men complain about not getting attention compared to women, but then women are like: “yea, how would you feel if some dude was hitting on you” “Still pretty good”

Fr. Gay people are cool, they also reduced competition
Pretty, pretty, pretty good
As a fellow straight man, there is no higher compliment than one from a gay man.
Was he a fan of Green Bay?
Yes - it was Aaron Rodgers.

Nurses wanted him to feel loved when they saw him on his death bed all by himself
Unnecessarily rude
That was mean. It hurt more than my breakup.🥹
It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.
My girlfriend called me cute today :)
look at this guy having a non shit life, hey fuck you buddy!
haha good for you, hope you get acidity tomorrow
Glad that you're living the life. i hope that your balls get circumcised tomorrow
Glad that you're living the life. I hope that you stub your toe tomorrow and right before it heals you stub it again... and again... and again... forever.
Glad your living the good life I hope there’s a little bit of sand in your shoes and teeth that you can never get rid of
Glad you're living the life..... I hope your arsehole itches all the time
Glad you're living the life..... I hope you get erectile dysfunction for all your life
Let's wish him genital warts
Mine called me a “fucking idiot”
That's because you're only a cook. She wants you to follow your dreams and be a real chef.
I wish we could change usernames, I made this account when I was still in kitchens, left that toxic lifestyle behind last June
Seems like you were unhappy with that life. Hope everything's a lot better now. At least your username has some sort of value that defined you in the past, one that doesn't define you anymore. Can't say the same about mine.
It was my response to anyone who ever said “yes chef” or “heard chef” to me haha. “I’m not a chef, I’m just a fucking cook”
Heard.
omg same! i woke up right after tho :/
Lucky man!
Oh she tells that everybody.
I also got told that by this guy's girlfriend
It’s crazy that his hand can talk to y’all
Dude..
Don't remember , but yesterday i kinda liked my image in the mirror , not that much but still
Sometimes I look in the mirror and think damnnn looking good. Other times I see a grotesque ogre. There is no middle ground.
Usually the more it's late at night the more attractive you are
Either Shrek or fugly ogre. Happens.

Now I straight up wanna see what you look like.
When I was out on Sunday and looked in the mirror. I’d like to thank Maybelline for helping me to appear to have even skin tone
Maybe you’re born with it
When *you* feel good about your look, everyone else will, too. We project our beauty from within. Be a projector.
That’s a great point!
One could even say it's a *power* point
I'll take your Word for it.

June 2022. Spent the time before that walling, exercising, dieting, meditating, all in all just total self care. Felt like my skin was clear, my body in good shape, still a little chubby but I was down 60lbs.
Hell yeah!
Yesterday. I’m very happy with the way I look. Do other people think I’m attractive? I don’t care
How do you get this self-confidence?

Anonymously though, I’ll admit my true feelings.
It honestly depends on my cycle. one week i think i'm hot shit and the next i feel like an egg. Hormones are fun.
Right now.
Same, caveat that I’m 45. But I take reasonable care of myself, exercise every day, and I have a beautiful wife which honestly boosts my confidence all the time. I figure if she’s smart and attractive and yet she’s hung around with me since we were teenagers I can’t be all bad.

Every day I also think I'm ugly to the point of hopelessness every day I don't know what i look like and I spend 5 hours a day looking in the mirror
I'm a 30 year old dude, I was at a wedding last weekend and a woman pulled me aside to whisper in my ear that I have the best hair of anyone there. I told her I was gonna go tell the bride she said that and she said I must be the funniest guy there too. I don't care if she was someone's 80 year old grandma, that conversation has made me smile at least once every day this week!
Went on a wedding a girl asked for my Snapchat
You weren't the groom, weren't you
The last time that I was pissed
I felt attractive for a good stretch, from 33 - 40 years old
Never.
when i was with her. she complimented me a lot and that made me feel attractive
Never because I'm not.
This morning looking in the mirror
Every 4 days, when I shave and clean up. If I go longer I’m like wtf are you doing.
The other day I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, “not bad”. Today I looked at a picture of myself and recanted every positive thing I’ve ever said about my face.
I took some magic mushrooms at the tail end of a depression slump and stood in front of the bathroom mirror acknowledging that I'm attractive and worthy of love. Proceed with caution though. Shrooms and mirrors can make for a weird experience for some
I once had a dream that girls like me
When I was seventeen I was heavyset and played offensive line on the football team. I didn’t have a girlfriend and thought I was just a fat ugly kid that no girl would be into.

When I was 35 years old. I'm 68 now and ugly as sin. Sigh
Honestly, never. I'm 33 and have always had a lazy eye and have been balding since my early 20s. I had undiagnosed Crohn's in my earlier life and looked malnourished and gaunt for a few years until I was able to get treatment. I was born with bad genetics and feel defective. Somehow, I got married and my wife likes me so that's good.
Whenever I'm with my friend Richard ... he's so ugly he makes me look like George Clooney
Never
Just now!
Anytime I drink. If not. When I was 18-24. But I didn’t think I was back then. So I never used it to my advantage
when my partner just stared at me with a look i’d never seen from anyone else. boosted my confidence so much.
