30 Men Shares The Best Compliments They’ve Ever Received From A Girl

Men do not deal with feelings as well as women do. It’s easy to see why – society and the environment like praising men who do not show their emotions. On the other hand, men who show them are considered unmanly or even ‘feminine.’ Toxic masculinity hurts men, too.

Someone asked men on Reddit, “What’s the best compliment you have ever received from a girl?” Heartwarming stories from men flooded in, and we know you’ll only feel fluff and happiness from reading these.

“I (M) was working in Taiwan one summer. A solid group of people. Anyway, when the time came to part ways, lots of hugs were exchanged. There was a traditional Muslim woman in the group who I clicked so well with from the moment we met.

My understanding is that traditional Muslim women do not make physical contact with males other than their husbands. Anyway, I got to her for goodbye; I simply put my hand in a waving gesture and said my goodbye. She then said, “No, you know what? I’ll hug you.” And we hugged. I think about this from time to time.” – cloudlocke_OG

“I wish I had an older sister”
“Oh? Why?”
“Cause then you and her could become really good friends, and then you would come visit us all the time.”

I’ve gotten quite a few compliments from my own age group and older, but that little innocent one was almost heartbreakingly sweet and nice to hear.” – Hitno

Anyway, she just goes on and on in this e-mail about how much she misses seeing me around campus and hanging out with me. The line that stuck with me was, “Of all the people I know, you’re the one I most want to see happy.” Closest thing I ever got to a love letter.” – originalchaosinabox

Weekend comes around, I get dressed, throw some cologne on, and go out to get a coffee and run errands. Get to the Starbucks and order and the barista says, “I like your cologne, it smells nice and you have the exact right amount on when most guys WAY overdo it (paraphrase).” I was so caught off guard by such a sincere and innocent compliment I still think of it before even generic GF compliments.” – LoneRanger4412

“Delivered for hospice for a few years. I kept having deliveries to this one facility where there was an old woman in a wheelchair who kept saying, “Hey, pretty man,” whenever I’d walk past. I’d say hi back but I didn’t think much of it. She probably said that to everyone.

But then one time a female orderly asked her, “Pretty man?” as I was walking away. “GORGEOUS man,” said the old lady. Never had that word associated with my appearance before or since. Thanks, lady.” – i_amtheice
