I try and compliment my husband often! He is bad at accepting compliments so I keep trying!
That is awesome! And he doesn't need to accept it for it to be good for him. Exposure is often highly influential.
'Guys don't need validation'?
Bish some girl in the 90s told me I looked good in black and it informed every single clothes purchase I have made since
A PTA mom in the '90s told me she would kill for my hair and I've kept it long ever since

Shen has a new artstyle? Is that his new avatar or is that a separate character?

Dudes complimenting dudes. It doesn't have to be weird. If you see a dude in a cool shirt or whatever, just say "hey thats a cool shirt."
lol I told some of my coworkers, "how're you doing you beautiful man" ... they're like, "thank you for saying that"
of course, you have to have a certain relationship where it doesn't come off too weird but dudes complimenting dudes should be normalised.
I wonder if dudes complimenting other dudes mainly applies to like "skills". Like you're a great fisherman or driver or coder or something. I wonder if those are more typical?
Compliments shouldn't be boxed into 'well I can only say them when this happens' imo.
If you are impressed by something, say something. Everyone loves getting a compliment
Edit: although yeah keep the beautiful comments between mates haha. No judgements, I've given "gay" compliments to my best buds to hype them up

In this comic, the woman has hair whereas the man just has floppy skin
Gotta meet somewhere in the middle. Men stop catcalling women, and women give men more compliments, but men need to stop raping women first.
Completely unrelated but I just want to say you have a good taste in pokemon.

This is part of the reason why I don't compliment men. The first part is I'm just shy as fuck when it comes to complimenting anybody and will literally flounder in my mind about whether to say it or not, only for the person to walk away. ~mission~ ~failed~
But the other half is not wanting to seem like I'm hitting on a man, because then if he harasses/pesters me, he'll think he's justified because I gave him a compliment so obviously I must wanna fuck him...
But yeah I'll be thinking, "his fashion is so good!" or "that cologne smells nice!" or "I love that tshirt!" but then I worry about coming off the wrong way, so I don't say anything...
Yeah. We need to teach our boys not to assume somebody is hitting on them and that they are not entitled to a person’s body, affection or attention. Then women will feel more comfortable displaying their feelings and men won’t have to worry so much about missing signs.
Women rape men too
I think it would be best if everyone just stopped raping
You're not wrong! Also not super relevant here. This is like responding "all lives matter" to a black lives matter comment. Well, maybe not that bad, but I hope you get my point.

I've stopped raping years ago!
Good on you
Dont like the implications of this sentence
The same vein as 'So when did you stop beating your girlfriend?'
For those of us familiar with QI, I'm sure everyone's thinking of this bit when you read this: https://youtu.be/uXom0OP3Rwk
Total bullshit, I remember a compliment about my hair from 25 years ago
Uh... did you read the comic or are you commenting purely on the title?
