I told a guy today “you look so fashionable!” because he did, good looking guy literally young enough to be my kid, in a great outfit that looked intentional, and got back a “thank you!” Because he knew I was not chatting him up, just legitimately complimenting him. I could always do this with women, but not men.
Just happy, I am happy about it.
We go to the gym expecting to get compliments from women but the only ones we end up getting are from other gymbros.
Ironically, my GF just asked some young fellow about his perfume and when she came home she told me about how worried she was about being labeled a creep because of it.
