Ask Lemmy

Anything. Literally anything. The only time I get noticed is when someone needs something from me. I define my existence by how useful I am to others because that's the only time I've ever felt wanted. I hate it, but it's better than being completely ignored (which has happened many times in my life).

I like when other men compliment my penis.

Just a causal ’Nice dick bro’ when I’m wearing my nice gray sweats.

To answer honestly, probably that someone enjoys having me around

Genuine compliments on personality are always cool. Like, "you're good at making people feel comfortable around you" or whatever. People often wonder what role they play in social situations, being told they're doing good is nice. At least I appreciate it whenever it happens.

I put a bunch of effort into making my moustache curly, a bit like Dali. And recently I received a compliment from a dude for that. I really liked that.

Nice cock bro

My personal favorite probably is compliments on when I have built/fixed something. It's the skill I'm the most proud of.

As a father, I'd like to hear how well I combine being an emotionally supportive dad while maintaining a demanding job and taking care of cooking, repairs and other stuff at home.

I'm always ordering weird shirts off the internet. From like video games, Youtube channels, FOSS and general geeky fun stuff. About once or twice a year some total stranger will say "cool shirt!" out of nowhere. That always makes me smile the rest of the day 😊

I was in Italy on vacation and a girl in a hotel reception said me and my girlfriend have really beautiful blue eyes. They are not used to blue eyes in Italy so much, but it felt very nice to get a compliment as a guy. I think I've rarely or never had compliments from strangers like that.

"I'm so jealous of your bottomless cash flow"

I love your small pp and body odor

I'm usually pretty happy to be recognized for my extreme dexterity.

"That's an interesting thought!"

"This (thing I worked on) looks great!"

"I respect the choices you're making here."

Praise for any genuine public service whether that's being an EMT or just picking up a piece of trash. The world would probably be better off if we focused more on recognizing actions and less on superficial things like what clothes you can afford or physical appearance.

Anything other than the typical "nice shirt" or "wow you're tall" I get, really.

"Nice dick"

It's enough to compliment them on whatever is new. New shoes, new haircut, new shirt, new tattoo, etc.

Complimenting another guy's physique is a bit weird I think unless you're trying to date them or are someone who works on their body as well.

As an older guy who recently got into shape (and am definitely not an introvert) it always comes across a bit weird to me when someone who is out of shape mentions it.

As a hetero male, of course I'm happy when any women mentions it, but it actually feels better when someone who is in better shape mentions it (probably because I'm married and a women's comment, while nice, isn't actionable but someone who is in better shape knows the work it took to get here).

Tell me my nipples are a normal size.

My bro changes literally anything, they get a "Nice, bro."

None, i genuinely cannot handle beeing complimented
