I read somewhere that men rarely receive compliments, so they can remember even a single comment like âyour shirt looks niceâ for years, and it made me think a lot. We girls say nice things to each other more comfortably, but it seems to be less common among men. The other day at work, I told a colleague âyour hair looks good,â and it seemed like he walked a little taller all day. Do men really take compliments so seriously, or is it just me?
I think itâs true. A girl told my cousin, âyour perfume is nice,â and the kid bought the same perfume for two years. He still remembers the girlâs name 
They do not forget.
As a man, Iâm saying that someone told me my jacket looked nice in 2019. I still havenât thrown it away. Itâs that clear.
This is also about men not saying nice things to each other. The joke âAre you gay?â starts flying around, and then everyone walks around starved for compliments 
But some men also interpret compliments as flirting. Thatâs why women might hesitate to give compliments randomly, and this needs to be discussed.
Thatâs the problem right there. Because you said âYour shoes are nice,â the guy who is supposed to be the groom is left without compliments, just like a normal guy.
I actually hesitate about this too. Sometimes I remain silent because I wonder if Iâll be misunderstood when I compliment someone. But the guy at work really just seemed happy, and oddly enough, it warmed my heart
I once told my ex-girlfriend, âyour voice sounds nice over the phone,â and even after we broke up, she reminded me of that. I guess guys keep a compliment archive.
I think net and safe compliments are nice: like âthe shirt suits youâ, âyour presentation was goodâ, âyour hair looks niceâ. Praising the personâs behavior/style instead of the person reduces misunderstandings
This is sweet.
Looking at it like Ada, the detail that seems small here is actually at the center of the issue. If I were you, I wouldnât make a definite decision without asking about that detail.
