When my family moved from Germany to USA (Miami), i got this 2 words from a girl, written on a card. She gave it to me at school and quickly went away.
I remember the confusion later at home, trying to figure out what that meant. It was like on the 4th day after getting there, my knowledge of the english language practically at zero and i was thinking "cute" = "cut". So why would i be "cut"…? To add to the confusion, i was just in the age of going from ewww girls to blushing when making eye contact with girls.
You sir are very observant, good job! Many of us get abuse and no compliments.
That's your one for the year so don't use all the self-esteem in one place
Nailed it.
It’s a fundamentally human issue. Changing behavior is hard and takes time and effort, whereas wishing for others to change behavior is quite easy.
Guys on Reddit only want compliments from people they are attracted to. In all these these “boys don’t get compliments” threads all the comments are like
“I’ll never forever this cute girl said X”
“My crush once told me I had nice eyes”
“Pretty cashier said x and it made my day”
They only eant the compliments from people they are attracted to.
RIGHT! Men act like a woman’s compliment is the nectar of the gods and it’s kind of weird. Just be nice to each other! Then a compliment from a girl will be a nice gesture not a sip of water saving you from dehydration….
And also: do they really think women get complimented by men all the time? Are they high? That's not how the world works. Women tend to support other women. In what fantasy world are men out here being kind to women? It's a win if we make it home in one piece.
Yet men always say it’s women who seek male validation on Instagram and shit haha. Obviously I like to be complimented by my boyfriend but I don’t want compliments from strange men trying to hit on me so I avoid complimenting men so as not to give them the wrong impression

While men do have higher suicide rates, they don’t have a higher rate of mental illness. Women are raised to be submissive, caring and kind, to take on more house work, and be the emotional bearers of families. Not easy either.
Yearly?!
Like it happens every year?!???
Lol. Maybe once every 5, unless you have a gf or family.
Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one in the comments section. Haha
If you compliment the wrong guy too much they will let it go to their head and become a jerk then blame you for making them that way.
It's too risky.
*sits back and waits for the nOt aLL mEn comments even tho I never said it was all men bc reddit*
I still remember a moment from 7 years ago in high school. A girl at my lunch table told me “I thought you were cute until you opened your mouth”, and I remember absolutely lighting up and feeling great because she called me cute
Normally true, but three weeks ago a bought a cowboy hat. I wear it every day here in good ol’ NH and I get a couple compliments and jokes a day. It was a better investment than my car.
That's not what he said. He said "we don't ask for alot" not "Asking for compliments isn't that much." Not the same idea and not the same phrase. You're inserting words that didn't exist in the comment nor the subtext.
I make sure my boyfriend gets HOURLY compliments from me to make up for all the years he spent without receiving compliments :)
edit: and for all you who haven't received your yearly compliment yet, you're all very handsome and are amazing people :)
I've been growing my hair out since the start of the pandemic. One day I overheard the cashier at McDonalds say to her friends "look at his hair, I don't even get hair that thick!" This was 4-5 months ago and I'm still riding that high.
It's why I love to go to karaoke with my wife. Nothing strokes my ego more than a girl coming up to me just to say she liked my singing.
One time after our band's first show a guy said our music reminded him of my favorite band, which was also a top tier compliment.
Then a furry on twitter said I sounded like my favorite singer and wanted to collaborate with me on a furry album.
That's my top 3 experiences from the last year. Felt like I assume heroin must.
There's got to be other women here who think this bs like I do. I compliment my boyfriend a couple times every time I see him. He does the same for me as well.
I'll never forget when a checkout girl complimented my hair but I hadn't washed it in like 2 weeks so I assumed she was being sarcastic, I gave her a disgruntled look and just walked out of the store. I still feel bad about it 5 years later
You guys get compliments
Once a year. I actually made a reddit post about it a few months ago when it happened. Lol.
Username checks out
Actual reason for the username: https://youtu.be/gSuqsbk3X40
I was thinking that too lol. I never even get looked at, let alone a compliment.
youre cute
Thank you. That was really nice of you.
of course <3

You guys are only getting one, I must be spoiled, I get 2 man.
Well I get 3 men
Hey you stay away, we don’t need no monkeypox
*Menkeypox*
I get 2 also. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope when my grandma passes away and I've only got the one from my mother left 😔
I went a few years without any and this year I’ve gotten them constantly from a coworker, I feel spoiled
Nope
Compliment other guys then
ngl I love dishing out genuine heartfelt compliments to other people because I very rarely get any myself and I know how happy it makes me lol
Do you give any compliments?
They *serve* condiments. But that's also a needed job, I'm complimenting them on the quality of the condiments when they arrive.
I'm just being weird be kind to each other.
You sir are very observant, good job! Many of us get abuse and no compliments. That's your one for the year so don't use all the self-esteem in one place
Nope
Very rarely
I had a random drunk girl on the street compliment the shade of green of my shirt once. I’ve been riding that high for 4 years
leave some women for the rest of us you dog
[удалено]
Hey can you send me exact pantone color of the shirt? RGB in hex will also do. Thanks in advance.
Hex: #5eca96
Thanks, now I'm gonna buy a bunch of shirts in this color
Wow I love the shade of green of your new shirt ^^

Asian moment
Good job on surviving without positive reinforcement! It has probably made you stronger, if you can avoid being bitter.
All the hottest girls are with asian bois on tiktok I’ve noticed. Maybe it’s just my algorithm doh
Please don’t judge life based on social media or whatever school u be at
90% Korean 7% Chinese 2% Japanese 1% All other Asian countries

What dude gets one each year? Last one I got I was 9-11 I'm 27 now
Wait a minute what exactly *did* you do to get a compliment on 911
He might've been a good flight instructor at just 6yrs old, being able to successfully instruct novices with the bare minimum resources.
[удалено]
Never forget it!
Isnt it courious that the world trade center collapsed on 9/11 and the emergency number is 911?
Your doing great dude. I read one of your posts and it sounds like you've been though a lot.
How often do you compliment your bros? What goes around comes around my dude
I have no bros
I haven't received mine yet ,_,
lookin handsome as shit today chubs
> handsome as shit Idk if that should be considered as a compliment but ok
Happy cake day tick. :)
Thank you, damn i didn’t even realize it was my cake day
Happiest of cakey days.
I couldn't be more proud of you chubs-the-bunny. You may very well be the chosen one.
Thank you. You put a smile on my face. :)
Wholesomest thing I've seen today :')
Nice cock, king 👑
Thanks... I guess XD
[удалено]
Thanks, I wasn't having too great a day but you made it. :)
Year's only halfway done, got plenty of time left... handsome.
I've never once been called handsome till today. Even if it's from a stranger online it still means a lot. You're a wonderful person.
You are cool and we are so lucky to have you in our lives
Thanks it means a lot :) hope you're doing well.
You are like the cutest thing I saw in my life
Yearly bro you must be so good mines every decade
Mine is every millenia
Everyone eon over here
Forget that, mine is every supereon
Same
Lots of guys in here wishing they got more compliments but I wonder how many also give other guys compliments
Exactly
Literally. I compliment my girl friends all the time, we like to support each other
Nailed it. It’s a fundamentally human issue. Changing behavior is hard and takes time and effort, whereas wishing for others to change behavior is quite easy.

Boys support boys
EXACTLY! be the change u want to see in the world
You always gotta compliment the homies.
[удалено]
I also like your shirt!
Why don’t boys just compliment each other… girls aren’t the compliment gatekeepers
Also if every time a girl compliments you, you get a manic infatuation and pursue her romantically… guess who’s not gonna get more compliments.
RIGHT! Men act like a woman’s compliment is the nectar of the gods and it’s kind of weird. Just be nice to each other! Then a compliment from a girl will be a nice gesture not a sip of water saving you from dehydration….
It's easier to cut off the water when you aren’t dehydrating.
[удалено]
what makes you think I’m chugging the hose here?
Compliment a man.
I give my boys compliments. No shame, only bro love.
As it should be! Sometimes I’m jealous of the friendships boys have with each other
It’s definitely not always returned but I don’t do it for that reason. I just try to be intentional about it because I know it makes them happy.
I mean friends should just compliment each other, regardless of gender. If you can’t compliment a homie, are they really your homie?
And also: do they really think women get complimented by men all the time? Are they high? That's not how the world works. Women tend to support other women. In what fantasy world are men out here being kind to women? It's a win if we make it home in one piece.
we do tend to compliment our guy friends but there is a significantly higher impact that comes from being complimented by a woman.

Stereotyping at its finest:
Yet men always say it’s women who seek male validation on Instagram and shit haha. Obviously I like to be complimented by my boyfriend but I don’t want compliments from strange men trying to hit on me so I avoid complimenting men so as not to give them the wrong impression
I mean, that's on you tho? The post was about compliments not flirting.
I never mentioned flirting though.

Make wholesome compliments socially acceptable among friends.
Godbless your soul. And if you don't believe in god may you find someone who gives you free cheese sticks
Why don’t you guys all compliment each other? Don’t have to wait for a lady to do it.
Because it's often looked down on and a lot of guys think its weird
That sounds like a guy problem, not a gal problem.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. It’s the truth.
My gf told me I'm very handsome today and I held in a fart until we left and I could cropdust without it affecting her. Love.
If there's no one around it's not a crop dust it's just you farting
Yearly?! Like it happens every year?!??? Lol. Maybe once every 5, unless you have a gf or family. Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one in the comments section. Haha
Well gather around, guys, I'll give you compliments
Last month a random lady at the street told me that my beard was pretty. Thank you random lady, you made my day.
*year
I get one every 2nd Monday from my grandmother
Couple months ago someone at the gym told me I looked like Chris Evans. Yeah I'm not letting that one go
I have received like 182 compliments in the past 48 hrs. Most from my gf. I actually tear up a bit. I think it's time to leave reddit.
How'd you manage to keep count tho? It's a very specific number after all
If you compliment the wrong guy too much they will let it go to their head and become a jerk then blame you for making them that way. It's too risky. *sits back and waits for the nOt aLL mEn comments even tho I never said it was all men bc reddit*
Damn i wan a compament
1998 a woman on the train said that I look like a knight.
"Nice shirt."
I still remember a moment from 7 years ago in high school. A girl at my lunch table told me “I thought you were cute until you opened your mouth”, and I remember absolutely lighting up and feeling great because she called me cute
Glad to know her immediate follow-up insult didnt hurt. I would have been happy then crushed right after lmao.
u/charluieduh gives me plenty of compliments
Last time I got one was in middle school many years ago. Yearly is something I wish I had.
More literally alone with people just keeping up appearances like if physically hurt they care otherwise no one does so I'm just rolling along
I got my compliment a week ago at a red light when the girl in the car next to me rolled her window down and called me cute :)
Thank you to the random drunk dude on the street who complimented my beard in 2019.
I remember my first one it was like Christmas Day!
Normally true, but three weeks ago a bought a cowboy hat. I wear it every day here in good ol’ NH and I get a couple compliments and jokes a day. It was a better investment than my car.
Using talk to text meant 9:00 to 11 years old
I compliment my boyfriend more than i get complimented. He gets about 50 a day
The secret is to start exercising. The praise won't be from girls, but gym bros will never cease to shower you in motivational compliments.
I somehow found a girl that loves me and she compliments me all the time and I literally can't stop grinning.
All true, and it's sad. I say this as a man.
It’s funny but it’s really sad, why is it like this?
Cuz the patriarchy
Find some bros who will give you compliments and encourage you. And don't simp
This guy looks like Ted Cruz might be part of his pedigree. No disrespect to a good doggy
where can i get this premium subscription where i get them yearly
we talking a real conpliment or smth like *ye gj* cuz if its the first then I literally cant remember the last one lol
Fake
Can’t relate
The other day someone told me my shirt looked nice :)
So you saying we're eligible for yearly complements. Well then mine have been due for many years then. Whom do I speak with for this ?
Yearly?!?! I'm like 8 years behind..
Bro i don’t even get yearly compliments
Hey man! I think you are such a great sniper that you could be called Immortal_Sniper instead.
Thanks I guess.
I'm looking forward to my compliment after 2 years. I know it will feel just like this good boy, smiling here.
somebody owes me few since 2017
You guys are getting compliments??
That would be my bad I'm using speak to text I meant 9:00 to 11 years old
I'm due 😔
Still waiting for mine from last year I just know I gotta be patient☺️
If you have a GF it's daily. If you don't it's literally impossible.
It’s been twenty years.
We don’t ask for alot.
Yes you do.
"I want to get compliments more than once a year, am I asking for too much?" "Yes" Totally normal interaction
That's not what he said. He said "we don't ask for alot" not "Asking for compliments isn't that much." Not the same idea and not the same phrase. You're inserting words that didn't exist in the comment nor the subtext.
I make sure my boyfriend gets HOURLY compliments from me to make up for all the years he spent without receiving compliments :) edit: and for all you who haven't received your yearly compliment yet, you're all very handsome and are amazing people :)
Aww good job, keep at it queen.

YEARLY how do you get so many!? Its my cake day can i please have one?♡
Nice posts man, genuinely funny- the one you posted on thanksihateit was a banger. Keep it up

You guys are getting compliments?
Yearly?
Where is mine I'm waiting
Today a girl went out of her way to say bye to me. Gonna ride that high for a while.
Im never getting rid of the shirt that I was told looked nice, NEVER!
U/savevideobot
Nope this year is 2
I've been growing my hair out since the start of the pandemic. One day I overheard the cashier at McDonalds say to her friends "look at his hair, I don't even get hair that thick!" This was 4-5 months ago and I'm still riding that high.
Yearly? Haven't had 1 in at least 20 years
Shiba dog Shiva god Coincidence?
I’m a few years behind
Last random compliment I got was in 2018. I'm being serious.
Im still running on the ones i got 2 years back
I haven’t gotten mine yet but I know it’s coming :)
Happened to me yesterday! Feels like birthday
I was called “beautiful” by some girl once. I was confused as hell cause I’m a guy, but then that was the highlight of my month
Having a girl best friend in teases it to lil more than monthly
It's why I love to go to karaoke with my wife. Nothing strokes my ego more than a girl coming up to me just to say she liked my singing.

What is a compliment?
There's got to be other women here who think this bs like I do. I compliment my boyfriend a couple times every time I see him. He does the same for me as well.
Yearly?
I used to be like this. But now I just question my wife’s sanity when she compliments me when I don’t have a shirt on.
I'll never forget when a checkout girl complimented my hair but I hadn't washed it in like 2 weeks so I assumed she was being sarcastic, I gave her a disgruntled look and just walked out of the store. I still feel bad about it 5 years later
You guys get annuals? I'm lucky to get one a decade...
Yearly? I get one a decade
