    @RegaliTea_69 you is a funny thing

    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?

    :neutral:

    I agree 100%. This really needed to be said; thank you.

    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 :D

    I confess that someone is waiting for my parking spot so I have nothing but time to post

    I do that at work when I drive my own vehicle in. LOL

    I confess sometimes when people are annoying me (which is really hard to do) I just tell them I have my period so they will leave me alone.

    Whew!!! Me too... and I thought I was the only one. BUT I usually get a skeptical glance, what IS that about?

    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.

    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?

    I thought I had a lunch schedule for today but I don't. Now I don't know what to do for lunch.

    I usually just ask them to marry me and tell them I want 3 kids, a dog, 2 cats and a ginger guinea pig. I never hear back :'(

    2 cats?

    That's really quite unreasonable

    I'm on board with not being thrilled with being called "handsome". It's different if it's used as an adjective, that's a little better. Handsome is usually the polite way to tell a man he's not hideous....."oh don't listen to them, you're handsome" kind of thing. Definitely the cookie cutter response that a man will feel not meant went into commenting on my looks. Kind of like "yeah, you're pretty" to a woman. No real thought, just a pat on the back. 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

    Mine has one of the headlamps permanently stuck in the open & up position.

    .....it is somehow a metaphor

    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.
    I confess:
    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.

    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.

    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?"
