Nice comment
The last time I was in a Spirit Halloween store, the cashier told me they liked my hoodie.
I want to emphasize that I still occasionally think about this thing that happened in October.
It's amazing how well a small, well meaning compliment can make your day, your week...
I was playing hockey last month and one player on the other team complimented something I did on the ice. Simple thing. "Nice puck protection!" after I made a play. Fuck, I'm so used to being chirped out there that it caught me completely off guard. I told my gf that night "The karma version of my brain is like: I should compliment players on the other team more. They probably feel great when that happens too 😀"
Hell, I remember when one of my classmates in gym class complimented my basketball shot, and that was back in the '90s. (If you're out there, Leon, thanks.)
I try to be the guy giving the compliments. Like, "Hey I like the jacket," or, "Hey I like the hat," stuff like that. I'll say it strangers and they always seem surprised and put on a seemingly genuine smile.
Us guys need to look out for each other, ya know? Some guys will never hear a compliment, and just hearing one can make someone's day.
Hey, nice attitude! I can relate to that, and it's why I made this comic doodle. There's nothing like creating a good ripple in someone's life (and I don't think it's insincere to share what naturally crossed my mind anyway).
Keep doing what you're doing!
for some a compliment can be a thing they remember for years
Good on you, I'm trying to be that person more and more because I know it makes my week whenever I get a compliment.
Make sure you don't run into people of the culture, who - once you express that you like something - they have to gift it to you.

Title: "Emotional Starvation and the Modern Man."
The one thing most modern men have in common. Together forever alone.
I was wearing a nice suit while walking to my car on the way to a job interview, and this rolled his windows down and pulled over to say I looked amazing.
It felt nice. And I got the job offer!
It's more like this:
Now we need a "hey nice shirt", "sod off" and vice versa
Pro tip: if someone compliments your shirt, offer it to them. Bonus points if you start taking it off before they can say no.
To take it a step further: if you compliment someone's shirt, pause just long enough for them to form a response, then ask, "Can I have it?" The key is to deliver it with a flat tone and a straight face, as though it's a totally normal question to ask.
This sounds like a "I think you should leave" bit
I always worry that I'll compliment someone, they'll have a look at my shabby self and it will have the opposite effect of them never wearing the thing again.
Damn bro
Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.
Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I'm not alone.
Is this loss?
Anytime this happens to me I spiral about how I might have just missed the sarcasm
What would be the harm in just taking it as a compliment anyway?
Cartoon would be better if you saw a sliver of red coming out of the bedsheets.
Edit not sure why downvote. I think it'd be funnier if he wore the shirt to bed.
Yes, as you suggest, it would be funnier, but I don't think that's the main idea.
I get compliments from random people several times a week, and while it does feel kinda good it also makes me anxious and more aware of how I look. I feel a lot better when I give compliments, I generally don't get the anxiety and feel better about it afterwards.
I'm a dude, FYI.
Anxiety is a bitch.
I think we found Ryan Reynold's secret Lemmy account...
Proceeds to never wear another shirt again
My New Year's Resolution was: Every day I'm out walking the street is to give at least one compliment to a stranger.
Whether it be the man walking with his beloved with a Larry David tier smile, or the person rocking a cowboy hat well in my local frozen sunless hell, I let them know how wonderful they are.
Am I the only one who finds this uncomfortable?
Ok, I’ll see myself out then.
When people compliment me I blurt out some gratitude then spend the rest of the day worrying I screwed up the interaction.
