Getting compliments from Gay vs Straight Men

This thread confuses the hell out of me. I guess further proof guys will never understand women.0

Compliments are fine from both but do touch me unless invited or we have that type of relationship0

A lesbian once said she liked my flannel shirt. I took it as a compliment.
I like your shirt0 -
I had a gay guy tell me he'd go straight for me once because I was that hot. Then, I realized that he was drunk. Kinda killed the compliment. I'm skeptical of almost all compliments though.0

This. Especially if he does it where his friend can see him talking to you.Why wouldn't our complements mean the same thing? If the dude wants to sleep with you, he must find you attractive.0 -
this is a classic example of a long con. a man will "go gay." he will sleep with other men, shop at Express, and drink appletini's. but do not be fooled ladies. as he is slowly, but surely, developing a legion of women followers, he is laying the foundation for sex. he's going to compliment you, take you shoe shopping, watch the latest kathrine higel rom-com, and talk about how you both wish you had Justin timberlake's body on you.
but really, he just wants to sleep with you.
all men do.0 -

If you're a lesbian........ thank you:flowerforyou:A lesbian once said she liked my flannel shirt. I took it as a compliment.

Whenever I get a compliment from a gay man, I love it, I take it for what it is, say thank you and feel great about myself.
But whenever I get a compliment from a straight man, I am skeptical, I assume he's saying just to get some action, and it makes me feel awkward and I blush.
Any ladies have the same problem???
Is there something wrong with me????
Straight men are your compliments just as genuine as a gay man's.
Yes
No
Sometimes Not
Thats exactly what I think sometimes.

I love when gay guys give me compliments... even moreso when they give me lapdances and call me "papi"
when straight guys try to holla at me... I question their sexuality...0 -
And as a side note, I only compliment guys that have great taste in clothing, as in clothes that I'd like to have and wear for myself!0

well you are pretty0 -
all my guy friends are married or in relationships, and those are the only ones ever commenting on how great I look...so while it's complimentary, it's kind of frustrating

:laugh: I would say I like your flannel too. I am straight. Though I do wear flannel when going to a shooting. I feel a little more country that way :laugh:0 -
I wasn't aware there was really a difference in a compliment when it came to the person's sexual orientation. I mean sure we could argue the intent behind the compliment or the way it's said or what's being complimented but at face value it's all the same. I've never known guys to be as ready to compliment as girls (and I've had a number of male friends, straight, bi, and gay) so to me for a lot of guys it would have to take something to get them to verbally express that they think you're pretty or like your dress or whatever it happens to be. Unless the guy's a skuzzball but generally those types you can tell from what they say that they are.
And going along the lines of someone mentioning women being guilty of "complimenting just to get sex", yes I've seen them. A best friend of mine was rather guilty of it. It's treated as a double standard, though. Men obviously always want poon-tang when they compliment a girl yet a girl, unless she's seen through the eyes of a guy's girlfriend, never seems to get this.
If the compliment makes you uncomfortable, put distance between you and this person. They can't 'score' unless you let them.0 -
To me, as long as it's a genuine compliment, I'm flattered. No matter if it's from a gay man or a straight man. But if the compliment is overly sexual or just on the creepy side, it's 1. probably only coming from the straight guy (seeing as a gay man isn't trying to get down my pants) and 2. just inappropriate.
On another note, when I get complimented by another woman (gay or straight) I take it as a HUGE compliment, because a woman won't just go compliment you unless she really means it.
100% agree ^^^^^^0 -

I find that very hard to believe. You are very pretty.
When I'm walking down the street in sweatpants, guys whistle and call me hot (granted it's unwanted, but it still counts as a compliment)0 -
So, guys, don't stop giving us compliments, just make them genuine and simple, like "Wow, you look amazing/beautiful/gorgeous". Not, "hot dang, you have a nice rack".
This made me laugh out loud at work. LOL0 -
If a gay man compliments me I assume he's just being polite, if a straight man does I really don't care.0

Nope, I've never had that, I'm being 100% honest, I'd like it to happen, it would make me feel good for the day if I got complimented on.0 -

I'm in college & walking around town all week except Friday & the weekend. I'm always waiting for someone to say something but they never do. It happens to my friends all the time though :[0 -

Men are idiots!!
even though i'm skeptical and blow off most compliments I get from men I pass on the streets and bars, they are a great confident boost.
p.s. You need to find a gay man stat! lol.0
