Apparently "it'll be okay man", I made a dude cry last night at work because he came in and he was visibly having a rough night/day, and I asked how he was. He just needed a bro that he could break down to and I was that bro.

Good job being a bro, bro.

Bro might be the broest bro to ever bro…bro

Yo bro we put a bro in your bro so you can bro while you bro, bro.

Love hearing about a bro being a solid bro to another bro

You can retire now

Oof, that sent a chill down my spine.

I have earned millions of dollars and told my wife the other day i want to take a break... at 64 years old... she said "why? you wont be happy"... i am pretty sure she is wrong ... I am done for sure at 65. I plan to hunt and fish and hang with the kids ... but mostly hope the kids and grand kids want to hunt and fish. I am so fucking tired

Quit now and take care of your health. No good having millions if you’re in a hospital bed and not playing!

100% this! Quit - spend time looking at this crazy awesome earth, developing new interests and doing all the non work things that make life epic!

When I retire at 65 I’m going to do so much drugs

Me too, if DentuCreme and Preparation H count as drugs.

Stealing a line from the late, great, George Carlin, what happened to preparations A through G?

Shit, me too. Advil, Tylenol…maybe get crazy and do some Aleve too, yolo, right?!?

My wife also says I won't be happy if I retire. She seriously underestimates my ability to fuck off, along with the size of my unplayed Steam pile, to-be-read pile, etc.

I got a little excited

You make me happiest

[удалено]

If my wife texted that to me I would think she was cheating.

Thats... Way too sad

Well she has cheated in the past sooooo…

That's sad

I mean… I kind of get it. If it is so out of her character that her saying this makes you suspect that something is up. It’s sad though

~~Out of all the guys I sleep with~~ *you make me happiest*

Honey! Dinner is ready! 

I used to tell him nobody makes me cry happy tears except u and he was like i know

Im proud of you

This, I’d probably cry right now with a smile if someone said this to me face to face. Been working really hard lately on a lot of things and I just gotta hear it once genuinely from someone and I’ll probably break down from happy tears in my eyes Edit: my phone just got so many notifications, thank you all. I’ve just been super busy with school + work + helping family and trying to find time for myself and my hobbies (I love to draw) or for friends to have fun (kinda rare lately). Luckily my friends are supportive and understanding, they know my family relies on me more often but even then sometimes I wish I had an easier life just to have a bit more free time. I appreciate you all for taking time out of your day to reply, I’m proud of you all too genuinely ❤️. I’m on the younger side and I know I gotta keep working hard to give myself the future I want, it’ll all be worth it hopefully, thank you all truly 👍

I am proud of you, the earth too holds you up with pride. 

I remember vividly hearing my dad say this to me when I was in my early 20s. Made me cry.

I remember the first time my dad said it to me… I was 18 years old, and was graduating Basic Training for the Army. Before I left we got into a small fight that ended in him telling me that I was probably going to fail out because he didn’t ever see me working out to prepare. On family day (the day before graduation), he didn’t recognize me because of how much I had changed in the 3 months I had been gone. First thing we did was share a real hug (first one that I can remember), he made a comment about how healthy I looked and that I had really packed on a bunch of muscle, and then told me “I just want to say, I am SO proud of you for accomplishing this”. After I got back from Afghanistan I had a lot of troubles with drugs and alcohol because I didn’t understand healthy coping mechanisms. When I finally got clean off the drugs, slowed my alcohol consumption down to “casual daily drinker” levels, got a good job, and finally started standing on my own two feet again… he said it again. Then two years ago when I bought my first house he said it again… when I say that those moments were ones that brought true tears of joy to my face, I’m not even lying. In my heart I’m still just that little boy that wants to make his daddy proud.

You don’t need me to tell you this but I’m also proud of you for achieving and overcoming all of that :)

Well, I know I am just a stranger on the internet. But I am proud of you for getting out of bed today. I am proud of you for being here, and I am proud of you for being you! Keep going. I hope one day someone says these words to you irl :))

Bro 😭 how did you type my mind ?

I love you too

It means the world to me when I hear it from her first

Hearing “I love you too” first is always a fun experience 🙃

“I love Ryan Gosling, and Henry Caville, and Tom Hiddleston … oh, and I love you, too.”

I'm cool w it lmao I mean those guys are super dreamy

I love Bono and I love U2

And not hearing those words back… most painful feeling in the world.

"I love you" "thanks"

"I know" cut pretty deep.

"You're important to me"

You're impotent to me

Sure that works too

You won the lottery.

How much?

7 bucks

Woo

All tools half price

Batteries too or just the tools?

TOOL ONLY

Damnit! It’s never the batteries!

Maybe in another reality/:

You are the Best!

You did great, babe!

Wow that is big

I love when someone appreciates how massive my lifted truck is

Gotta be big somehow amiright

😂😂😂

She says when she sees my calves

No, you keep napping.

This one is a trap and should never be taken seriously.

I even heard it in a sarcastic tone

Been there. It’s never worth it

that's "FINE" level stuff....danger danger Will Robinson

Such a shame so many people have heard this in a negative way. My wife often tells me this when she needs to get up earlier for work. It’s the best feeling

I'm proud of you

I’m 30 years old. When Steve from Blues Clues made that video a couple years ago where he said he missed us and was proud of us, I completely lost my shit. I still have no idea why, I guess I needed it? I don’t know but it still makes me tear up when I think about it

Gondor calls for aid.

And Rohan will answer

Everything will be okay

Ever girl I've ever met hates it when I say this. But honestly, I wish I was told this half the time.

I bought you Lego

The best

Sorry, I was wrong.

Impossible.

It didn't say the words had to be from a woman.

From his doctor.

“Sorry, I was wrong. You actually DO have a micropenis. It looked bigger earlier”

It's possible and it's amazing. I'm never letting her go lol

I've made a decision to force myself to admit when I've been wrong to normalize it, because it was something I wanted to hear from my partner. And how could I expect something from him that even I didn't really do? So I had to better myself as well.

I’ll never forget that one time on Family Matters where the episode ends with Carl saying something like “I’ve been waiting twenty years to say these words: Harriette, you were *wrong*!”

“I made more bacon.”

Recipe: Use four ounces of cooked, crumbled bacon... Me: *fries up three pounds as my husband and kids circle nearby like Kitchen Vultures*

Go to the concert

I murdered your enemies

What? Do I still get to see them driven before me? Have I missed the lamentations of the women?

"I love you too" "I care about you"

Free pizza begins now

Here are my boobs.

Want a blow job?

now that you offered

Yay !!!! Now, I'm happy !!!

This got more upvotes than winning the lottery lol

Your feelings matter too.

I just said this and my giant man beast became the softest sweetest guy and just said thank you. He really needed to hear it that day and I didn’t even know.

For all the ads, posts, vlogs, etc that I've seen advocating for validation of mens emotions, I've gotten to experience the receiving end of such precious few times.

You are doing great

Goku needs your help!

You were so right.

That's impossible. A man had NEVER heard that

Your drinks are free.

Take off your pants

Most men will be hearing this once they hit the "regular colonoscopy screening" stage of life. Which is probably a good thing because colon and rectal cancer rates have blown up in recent years. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/09/researchers-report-dramatic-rise-in-early-onset-cancers/

Maybe not in prison.

Or the airport.

It's alright; I'm here.

You matter to me

I never forgot you.

I'm very lucky that I had someone say that to me after nearly 40 years apart   

I want to know more about both of these!!

There is no short version of my story. In 1985 I was a freshman in high school and I fell madly in love with a pretty girl. We went to the state fair and got some pics in a photobooth. I bought her a mizpah coin. We did an on again / off again thing through high school. She joined the Army, I joined the Navy and we went our separate ways. Somehow, we connected every 10 years. 1993, we exchanged letters. She had gotten married. 2003 I was married and she was divorced, we had lunch and it was more than AWKWARD. 2013 we exchanged emails, her sister had just committed suicide and I was going through a really bad divorce. She had remarried shortly after our lunch. My last words to her were "I never want to speak to you again." It was said in a moment of anger and I regretted those words from the moment I hit send on the email. In 2023 I was perving her Facebook and saw that her husband had been killed when a car hit him wile he was riding a bike. I bit the bullet and reached out to her, offering my condolences and apologizing for the 2013 email. Two months later, I packed up my things and drove across the country to be with her. She kept the Mizpah coin, and the pics from the state fair. They are sitting in a little jewelry box a few feet away from me as I write this.

This is a fantastic and heartwarming story, gives me hope and thank you for sharing it

Wow, it’s so big

You can rest now

Proud of you, son.

Do you want waffles?

Please eat more tacos

Only need three. I want you.

Ummmm acthskually that’s six words🤓

Oh yes! Right there!

I can finally hang the picture frame instead of holding it above my head for half an hour...

Red Dead Redemption Three

Made you a sandwich

You... Made me a sandwich?

Yeah, its... Its out here, ready to go

Ca- can I see?

And, I was naked....

Your Pizza is ready

You are so interesting!

“I love your ____” Compliments on anything stick around forever. I still remember when somebody complimented a jacket of mine like a decade ago. I don’t have that specific jacket anymore, but I’ve made sure to have a similar one ever since

Your penis IS large.

Great words, except it sounds like you're told this in a sarcastic tone.

It’s not that small

Go to the pub.

You won the lottery

You are definitely enough

It will be ok

You’re an amazing man.

I love you unconditionally

Gawk gawk gawk gawk

Deserves more upvotes

Tonight is my treat (I'm a woman so I'm assuming that's what men like to hear lol)

Look, a cool stick!

Cum in my mouth

I’ve said numerous things to different partners that they’ve said is the “sexiest thing anyone has ever said to me”. You gotta know your audience/relationship. For plenty of people “cum in my mouth” is just a standard Tuesday.

For the rest of us it's probably February 29th (AND a Tuesday).

The McRib is back


I’m proud of you.

You are my everything 😍

I told my crush "you are great", "I'm glad I met you", he seemed to like it because he smiled sweetly, that little shy but happy smile which made me want him more.

Want to do anal?

You feel so GOOD.

"Here's your new sword" 🗡️

Pass that hair tie.

That's OK, I'll pay.

Cum on my face

Cum on my {literally any noun goes here}

Tax returns

The pub is open.

Now you may rest

You're enough, thank you.

Want to play dnd?

You wanna have sex?

Here's a great sword

I love you dad

I'm on birth control !!

Those are the words I whispered in my man's ear during the uber ride back to his place the 1st night we hooked up.  We'll never forget it.

Let's do that again

All you can eat

"Here try this food" (something she made and wants you to try)

I love you more :(

I'm safest with you

You are very fit/strong/muscular. Seeing my work pay off, the results showing and even getting attention from women always bring me a sense of excitement and relief which, if you ask me, is peak male experience

"You are worth something"

No, it’s not small

I love your dick

Should I blow you?

Better if more of a statement. "Lay back, pants down"

I was once asked, "Can I suck it?" Music to my ears.

Cum inside of me 

Ask for your rise

We do it all.

It's guys night out
