You look handsome
I confess I wanted to comment "triggered" but didn't want to make light of your original confession.
I fully expected someone to do this. Glad it was TJ. At least from him I know it's from the
We're the same age....is it too late so say that my HS self would have totally thought you were fine?0 -

Not a horrible thing, but used so commonly that when I look around and see who's getting called handsome, I'm thinking ok, that's everybody, not really impressed.
It's when someone says to me "hey handsome" that my skin crawls. Might as well just say hey sport.....champ.... big guy......chief......any irrelevant name that someone may dole out that has a somewhat condescending reference to a positive meaning.
There is nothing wrong with being described as handsome, just like being said you are pretty to a woman is not bad either. But me personally, if I were to find a woman attractive, pretty is only used in describing a specific thing, pretty smile, type thing......not just the casual brush over compliment that is reserved for everyone.....;)
Yeah this is what I was getting at in a sense.
Handsome = Toyota Camry of compliments for men.
Gee thanks...I'm a shiny red Toyota Camry. I work out so I must be the one with leather interior at least. Right?.
It's a sensible car that gets good gas mileage and has great resale. Not everyone can be a Ferrari.
then I reckon I'm a '93 Dodge Neon with a missing front bumper, a cracked windshield and three flat tires...
Perfect. I'm a Subaru Brat with a garbage bag for one of the windows and flames spray painted on the sides. Vanity plate reads "WYTTRSH"
my wife wanted new, curb appeal landscaping for our home.
so I parked a Pontiac by the front patio

Why thank you! Now tell me I'm handsome!
Aww my little Hitler, compliments don't work if you demand them!
How about: If you were a stray, I would feed you and get you a nice haircut?

I confess to being surprised at people being hit on, on this site and the tone of some of the comments... i am not surprised... come on everyone, this is a weight loss site... get on it... and talk diet, food and fitness
I agree 100%. This really needed to be said; thank you.
.... so what are you wearing?2 -
I confess that I never went to prom and no one asked me either! I felt like I missed out for a little bit, but got over it pretty fast

I confess when people annoy me I sometimes walk away (or on here I stop posting) for a little while and other times I do my best to annoy them even more. And by annoy I mean subtle insults.0 -
I confess that I received an odd email on here last weekend.. that said" You are damn sexy"... normally I would be flattered... BUT I think this fella was confused... question to the ladies... how many here would respond to that kind of unsolicited note?0

Totally agree! What MFP should do is maybe break the forums up to different categories for fitness and health discussions - like maybe 12 other areas - then create a couple so this kind of general talk, tomfoolery and stuff can happen and NOT interfere with the serious stuff.
Oh wait...

I confess:Carillon_Campanello wrote: »abitoftrouble wrote: »I honestly thought telling a man he was handsome was the highest of all compliments.
Evidently not. Who knew? *shrugs*
To the contrary...and my point...it's tossed around like a beach ball in the crowd at a baseball game. Yeah it's fun once or twice but after awhile its flat and covered with some drunk guys beer. Most of the crowd has had their hands on it once. Fun when it bounces to you...but cheap and meaningless.
Well. Not meaningless to me. I have said your a handsome guy before, and I meant it. And also my mfp friend, with theee best kick@$$ food/activity log, many many times to my husband. And he agrees.
My compliment was true, and although it's not on the same level you are reffering to & want, with the "sexy" or "hot" type of compliments, that's the highest level I stay with any guy, because I love my husband. He's the sexy hot guy in my life. Oh, theres a couple more... Billy Idol, Roman Reigns, on certain days I guess Rob Lowe.

I confess I didn't read all the comments about liking and disliking certain compliments or meanings behind them or how to react to them... mostly because I can't relate. But also because there were so many.3

I confess I like to think of myself as someone who sees black and white, and is firm in their opinions... but oftentimes when I hear other perspectives it turns all gray. Sometimes I don't know what to think about things. And that bothers me. What does that say about me?
Also...unrelated, but I don't really live in a trailer park if anyone saw my post in the selfie thread. I recently finished the S-Town podcast and so I'm just leaning into the typical Southern redneck stereotype, especially when combined with the camo and bullet jewelry I wear. Just me being silly on the internet.2 -

I think that just means you're open-minded.
And I love the South for all the camo I get to see. It's like "Are they hunting right now, here in this store?"2 -

Actually, that says you're intelligent and that you can step outside the box to view things.
If I think about it too much...which I tend to do...I start to worry it means I'm wishy washy flake who doesn't have a firm thought on the subject.0 -
I confess I sometimes wonder if by responding to people on a thread called "true confessions don't judge" I am kinda judging, just by posting a reply and giving my opinion about their confession.
This confuses me a bit, lol. I am now looking up the word judge and I can't decide. I think it may be a bit judgey, even tho I don't mean any harm.
There is a difference between discerning and judging. Do you look down on a person for what they say/ do? That is being judgemental. Or thinking yourself better than another is judgemental.
I don't see you as judgemental. You've portrayed yourself as a young lady who can have her own thoughts, make her own choices, and while knowing and not wanting to make the same mistake as others, no, I do not see you as judgmental at all.

Like nails up and down a chalk board. I have always considered it a "you're cute" comment. Like "hey you're a 5.5-6.5-ish but there are better options out there."
To further compound my spite for this label the first time I let a woman call me this openly she broke my heart into a million pieces.
So now every time someone calls me that it reminds me of her and reopens a wound.
The end.
Oh, sad sad. Telling someone they look handsome is one of my favorite compliments to give men (whom I have the right rapport with). I don't think it's on the same level as "cute". Cute is for boys, handsome is for men.
Hearing handsome = "You're good looking for a not hot guy."
Ducky was handsome.
Oh no! I use handsome to describe good looking guys I'd date...hope no one took it as "not hot"
Yes, exactly.
And to add to my original comment....As a woman, I'd rather be called beautiful than hot. Because beautiful encompasses more than just physical attractiveness, it also encompasses character. The male equivalent to beautiful, in my eyes, is handsome.
Someone who is good looking but an *kitten*, is not handsome.

There is no problem with changing your opinion. nothing worse than a stubborn fool.
You find this kind of problem with young folks. I always say apply your values & principles to whatever decision or opinion. Consider all options then choose the one you agree with according to your values as a person.0 -

Meh. Like you, I can be a "fence sitter" or "devils advocate"... I prefer to think of it as not choosing to be a sheep.1
