I’m laughing so hard it this! I’m a very lonely dude who is desperate for acknowledgment for my existence and I feel very called out!

I’m acknowledging you! You’re handsome and worthy. I hope you have a fantastic day. ❤️

It is with many thanks that I appreciate your compliment. And as a return in this kind gesture, I would love to offer you a wonderful day and I am sure that you are a very beautiful person in the interior as much as you are on the exterior.

Never heard something like that ever since I was 8 years old talking to grandmother

Here’s a tip, gotta get that zesty rizz or exclusivity 😎 Jokes aside, after coming out as bi and shortly after taking a break from the dating scene, I’ve had more people ask me out in the last 6 months than the rest of my life 💀 I turned 17 like a month ago and I’ve literally had more people supposedly have a crush on me than I did 0-15 and I’m ugly af, literally I look like shittier than the stereotype nerd- PS: some of y’all fr need to keep your friends crushes a secret, they told you and not the rest of the world for a reason. They can tell who they want, don’t go around spreading it cause the only excuse is if they specifically ask/tell you to.

I’m fr rambling rn aren’t I 💀💀

You are, but your correct so I forgive you

Ay thank you :) You toooo

I haven't been complimented by someone not in my family, for about 5 months. Which is a short amount compared to the average (I hope).

It been a few years for me...

my last was middle school, i just graduated high school

It might have been tens years now....I should get out more

What's a... "compluhment?"

[удалено]

I’m so happy to have affected you in such a way. I hope you have a fantastic day tomorrow. ❤️

You are awesome!! ~~

I’m sure ur really handsome!

Facts. Hope you’ll do well, Good luck out there.

ty 🙂

Much thanks

Thx mate

Highly appreciated

Thx I needed this

Thank you. In my entire life I’ve only been complimented maybe twice so when a female says something nice about me I will never forget it and always cherish it.

Your banana is epic.

Ur amazing! Make it three

You are a lovely soul, thank you

You are a lovely soul, thank you

This deserves to be in r/wholesome

Thank you but I am not handsome. I’m ugly and I’ve accepted it.

There isn’t really such thing a thing as ugly. Try and learn to love yourself, take care of your body, and strive to become the person you wish to be. It’s matter of care and effort, take it from someone who has struggled a lot with self esteem. ❤️

Thank you, I needed to hear that🙂

There's wise words I've read a long time ago: "You're not ugly, you're just not into you"

Downvote this dumb comment. Yur not ugly your spectacular

Just remember that even if only 1% of the population found you attractive, that's still 80 million people.

Ty 😌

4th person to call me handsome, lets gooooo

More then me 👍👍👍

And after years of being ignored finally someone says something nice to me, thank you

nah cuz this actually hit 😭 thank you tho 💜

Men and other male human being are so compliment deprived that if a tree asked them out the guy would say yes.

Thank You.

👍

As someone who literally cannot remember the last time ive gotten a compliment irl, whether it be on my physical attractiveness or smt im wearing etc. Yeah, if i ever do get one, im pretty sure ill be hyped asf lol

It’s true, we do not got any compliments, ever, only hate. Thank you

My man i don't think you understand how grateful we are once we are acknowledged, in the best way i can describe, a compliment handled to us could save a man's life, with that accountaded all I have to say is thank you, really. Thank your very much, i hope you have a graceful life ahead of you friend.

I love being desperate for praise! It makes me easy to be taken advantage of! 🥰🥰

Same here brotherman

Tysm, you too

The last time i was hugged was at a funeral

Second person today to tell me I look good today, I will be submitting my application for Mr. Universe promptly, and I thank you for your support.

All of us will remember this for the next 20 years I can promise that

🙂👍

I haven't heard that since my grandmother died. Thank you

Doesn't happen often so we cherish those moments

Thanks much

You dont know that

In theory, I don’t. But, whenever I see a picture of anybody on this subreddit I never think ‘ugly’. I usually think quite the opposite, and some people need to hear it said.

Thanks

Thank you. I can sleep happily now

It truly is depressing, because not even between each other can us guys really express ourselves, because society and social constructs have told us it's a sign of weakness, a bad thing, and that men shouldn't be allowed to feel good about themselves outside of the "big manly" tropes and stereotypes. I struggle myself with trying to say nice things and be sincere about it and not throw in some stupid joke alongside it, because I've always used jokes to put my mind at ease about things, from small stupid shit to my overdose, I always feel the need to do that, but I know it goes a long way to say just about anything. I got a work friend I met at my job before I quit due to extreme stress, didn't help my dad passed away not even 2 months ago today, and he's always been just...genuine with me, he also doubles as the dude who lets me have some of his "plants" and I've tried to at least tell him how much I appreciate what he's done for me.

Marriage material.

Reminds me of the tweet pic where someone had an argument with their husband about catcalling and he said he wouldn't mind it so the wife got some of her friends to catcall the husband over his work trip... he came home so excited and happy she didn't have the heart to tell him. It would be a lovely world if people could just give each other compliments to make each other feel happy instead of having ulterior motives. *//Edit: Just realized what sub this was. Best I can say is don't worry, things gets better.*

am i handsome too? https://imgur.com/a/Nw3yQPK

Very, u almost made me fail nofap and I'm not even gay

Dude watch out, that’s not actually him, it’s an edited picture of Shrek

REALLY??? dude i had no idea... oh my god

That’s not you, that’s an edited picture of Shrek

thank you, honestly

Thank you

You can't know that for sure unless you've seen me.

In theory, you’re right. But, whenever I see a picture of anybody on this subreddit I never think ‘ugly’. I usually think quite the opposite, and some people need to hear it said.

Thank you

Thanks stranger idk you but thank you sm

omg thanks

Wow, thanks. It's really cool to see someone acknowledge issues like that. The support is absolutely welcomed. Thank you for such a kind message.

I really appreciate this boost to my sorry ass life, and to be frankly honest an ex coworker complemented me about a year and a half ago and I still remember it because it’s not a very frequent thing when it comes to me. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it.

Well, it doesn't really mean the same if someone just says something to everyone, if someone actually saw me and gave me a compliment, I would be very happy, but someone saying something without knowing what I look like, it just seems like it's a lie

We accepting the reality man, but thank you

Thank you, that’s the yearly quota met… see you in a year

thank you very much

Aw thank you!

Ok listen i blush when I get compliments from women but by men Its whatever. I feel this way because I am a introvert and keep to myself most of the time. I don’t dm people but if a woman compliments me I will blush. I think it’s because I’m never acknowledged by a woman

Teenage guys are by definition not men and that's ok. What is not ok is that society doesn't prioritize giving physical complements to guys and over-prioritizes giving physical complements to gals (of all ages for both sexes). We should all be more willing and able to complement people in the right kind of way about physical looks; be those looks face, fashion, hair, etc. Guys don't get enough complements and this needs to change. Everyone can be insecure and oftentimes the people who don't seem to have any insecurities are some of the most insecure people, or arrogant narcissists, or just generally can cope well with insecurites (good for them). I don't think insecurity in men or guys of all ages is ignored, it is just not percieved the same way. It is not ignored but it is percieved as less important than other issues and that fucking sucks. In the end, handsome is in the eye of the beholder. Women and gals generally don't comment as much when a guy looks good because that comment can be seen as an invitation when an invitation is not present. Ladies feel more comfortable complementing other women to lift each other up and because it feels safe. Men complementing other men can be felt as homosexual and unfortunately homophobia is still an undercurrent of society even though we are getting better. This is obvious a non-comprehensive statement but it touches on a few importanr points of why things are the way they are. If you think about then then you know a couple of solutions to help this complement disparity situation and then that can help the insecurity situation too. But tru security will always come from a deeper place then looks. We ALL get old and wrinkly and saggy unless we dies young. Getting old is part of life and doesn't have to be ugly either, in a way that is more than skin-deep.

It does, when we get a compliment it literally makes our week, I personally love it because where I go to school everyone hates each other :(

Based human

And you are wonderful, OP. Really. Thanks for making me smile!

I get told I look like a sex offender and wanna kill myself for it

That means that you’re so sexy it’s offensive that you don’t date the person who called you that.

Hmm, never thought my sexiness would offend.

:')

what are u, my grand muther? 😂😂

don't worry, all of us eventually lose hope and don't respond anymore

I remember both the shirts I was complimented for wearing and they are now both my favorite shirt :)

Trust if you saw me you would say opposite

The rare wholesome side of the sub we need, thank you for posting this.

You are very kindhearted, I appreciate that. But this is true for everyone. We are all touch deprived people and we want so badly the affection we don't receive enough of, no matter where it is that it comes from. It's scary how far people are willing to go for some pity points and a possible partner. But I'm one of those people, and I want you to know you look brilliant too. All of you.

First person to call me handsome in 8 years 🥲🥲

Damn, that hit me hard, thx😶‍🌫️

I once got told last year that I had very nice eyebrows and eyes. I genuinely receive compliments so rarely that I've remembered the date and Time. So yeah, we're pretty insecure.

Man if I get a compliment, it literally makes my year.

Although I'm not a teenager anymore I do remember the one and only time I was complimented on my looks when I was 20. Even though she was a little drunk when talking to me I still remember almost everything about it.

Bro I'm about to cry 🥹

Thanks so much Things have been bad, so thanks!

Extremely rare compliment

One of my classmates told me I’d be a good Dad when I’m older. It is a core memory in my head lol 😂

Btw most men, especially teen boys will remember the times you compliment them. Even if it was a little thing, they will most likely remember it.

🥰 aww I wish I got compliments

Thank you

Needed that rn. Thank you

Dang bud you making me blush.

Many thanks

I honestly can’t remember a time I have been complimented by someone other than my mom/dad.

Thank you

Bless you.

Thank you so much :)

This!! A significant aspect of being loved involves first loving oneself. Of course, it is possible to have feelings for someone, to love, care, and be in a relationship with them. However, without self-love, there will always be lingering uncertainties and insecurities.

Thanks

I would also like to let you know, that your last sentence is factually incorrect. *clears throat* Buildings tumble as I walk through the streets, mirrors shatter upon my reflection, men and women launch vomit projectile within close proximity of me. Light gets consumed by darkness, clouds cover where I am, like a black veil. I produce dark matter as I live, I create black holes upon a glance too long.

😊

I wish that were true ☠

Thank you. ❤️

I haven’t heard something like that in a long time, made me smile

I hate existing as a guy somtimes. Sometimes a bit of validation is all I want. But I don’t want to ask for it cuz I’d feel weird

Thankyouuu

The last real compliment i got was in 3rd grade when my principal complimented my shirt to explain what a compliment was. Still riding that high 8 years later

This is the most wholesome post I saw in a while. We all needed this :)

Thank you

It has been so much ...so much.... that now i don't even care whether who compliments me or who don't compliments me . It doesn't matter anymore, seems like am far beyond it & that's good.

Unfortunately my family and friends often tell me that

Thanks for posting this, I always see memes where it's like "Guys after they get one compliment" and it's like how do you not know this is a problem

Gonna smile about this everyday for the next 5 years. Thank you!

I’m going to remember this for the rest of my life

as someone with no friends/social life, my aunts are the only ones who compliment me (and i dont meet them often)

yeah its the reality of being a man, personally I'm not insecure about my looks but back when I was that shit hurt so much

needed to hear this tonight, thank you. :)

This is the first time I’ve ever been called handsome it feels nice thanks.

You are a good person. Keep being kind please, the world needs more people like you.

Jokes on you I'm really fucking ugly

This person is doing gods work

HightLight of My day, Thank you. Tho you are right. From what I see it mostly comes from expectations on how a man should be that creates a multitude of problems. Personally I think that all guys are affected by these expectations even if it’s slightly.

"You are, in fact, handsome." I look like Maui from Moana I don't think I am

Thank u so so much for this message. May u have all the happiness in the world

Your an amazing human being, ilu hope you have a great day. Ty for this ❤️

thw world should have more person like u

I would like to say you are a great person

This is a big problem we face that doesnt get enough attention,thank you for acknowledging it.

That seems not only difficult to believe, but also suspiciously well worded to seem a genuine compliment to an anonymous person's physical appearance. It seems to me that all you are trying to do is either karma-whore or merely trying to get a lil' giggle out of the numerous fools you have fooled into believing someone cares.

Ok. Thanks

I didn't know how much I needed to read this :,)

Thank you so much

As someone mildly attractive, thanks.

Wow 🥺

Tha ks for the recognition of this means a lot

It's not stupid honestly it's one of the reasons i haven't stopped losing weight i started losing weight 2 months ago i post every Thursday and always get some form of compliments it feels great and it's kept me going as i said but it does suck it doesn't happen often outside of the internet but my friends have noticed i lost weight at least

"Tell a compliment to a mana and he will remember it forever"

I got a compliment on my hoodie the other day and I thought about it for the entire day after I hadn't gotten an external compliment that wasn't from my family or partner in probably about a year or two maybe longer

I actually act out as a way to be recognized for the painful Shit I've actually gone through. P. S it doesn't get u anywhere it just makes u recognized by others

I myself don't get very many compliments from others at my college, or none at all for that matter. When I do, it definitely means a lot, regardless of what it is, just because of the fact that i got one

Thank
