Men, do you feel offended when women give you feminine compliments such as "pretty", "cute", or "beautiful"?

Saying you're manly and then making that face is more cute than manly, friend.

rofl, usually I know how to get out of the situation asap tho. By saying things like,
"You know who else is cute? That guy over there, Omg. I would just gobble him up nom nom." And then they would stop while being confused whether I'm gay or not while giving their thoughts on that guy.
Is this where you live?

In my opinion a guy who knows how to take care of himself and is stylish is much more attractive than one who can plants a tree and build a house. It doesnt make them a pu**io whatever that even means.

I'm a very beautiful man and I get much more ladies than the ugly conservatives.


That is the point... 'a man who gets all the ladies', sorry mate I got one lady and that is all I need. From real life experience, all the 'pretty boys' who spend more time dressing up than learning, ended up as scummy bastards with their women dramas in cocaine fueled parties, oh and with a shitty grade too.

Because beautiful is a term to call someone who has a great personality + appealing looks. It's like a "bam ur perfect" compliment, rather than just "u look nice"
Now that I've been thinking about it, I think she meant pretty, not beautiful. I got confused because we don't use exactly the same words in Spanish.

But I get straight As without even trying.

Also, who do you think gets the better grades here; the person who uses an acceptable amount of grammar or the one that does not?

Anyway, I was joking.

I am a pretty boy though. But I didn't chose to look this feminine.

it's not just about getting ladies, it's putting value on taking care of yourself and your physical appearance instead of not doing so because you put so much value on some kind of outdated idea of "masculinity".

Tell me about it.... I usually don't mind if they don't complain about me bringing nothing new in terms of fashion on the table. But quite a few talk shit and it gets annoying.

It's not about masculinity. It's about what matters and what doesn't. People don't understand the consequences of their actions and only at the end they see the light when they go through all of it. Thats why you get wiser with the age.

I cared about being 'good looking' when I was 16/18. Yeah great, you'd get stuff like 'I love your eyes' but all of this made me fail my A levels because the concentration was elsewhere. Being 'pretty' is hardly going to get you anywhere as a man, this substance doesn't last long, it's not going to get you far thus it should not matter for a man if he want's to be happy unless he is the sort of person who lives every day like it is his last day.

I'm not worried about my grammar, the last time i spend learning a language was 8 years ago (I studied arts after that).

Well, good, but don't let it get into your head. Trust me, if you have natural looks and you spend your time into something that is going to make you something, you'll be way way more happier

and how exactly are being able to build a house or plant a tree important to a man in this day and age. Being able to take care of yourself helps in things as simple as getting a job, people are more inclined to hire someone who takes care of themselves. Someone who doesnt care at all usually just seems like they let themselves go and it's not like it even becomes something that takes over your life. You dont have to make yourself look like a movie actor, but not caring about your physical appearance in the slightest? that seems a bit ridiculous.

build a house, plant a tree, have a son is a good proverb

By building a house, the young man has taken up the step to live independently from the house of his parents, that is to say, taken the steps not to depend on his parents’ cooking and money, but create his own livelihood and generate his own means of subsistence. He has to leave the parents’ house to create his own world, his own domain, his own house, and to accomplish this important step is definitively one of the first signs of maturity, of becoming an adult man.

The day I left the house of my parents was in a very profound way the very day I was embarking of my own path, on my own journey toward becoming a man, making my own mistakes, figuring things out through my own experiences and through my own thinking. It was also the very process necessary of ownership of the house which I was building (my own life). I had earned it, it was mine, though my own sweat, my own thinking, my own tears and joys.

Planting a tree illustrated the need for contributing to society and our community. A man can provide for himself but his sense of responsibility leads him also to an understanding of his role in society. We are part of that greater world beyond ourselves, we are part of a society, and to be a man means to fulfil our role in our environment by contributing to it in a positive and constructive way.

Raising a son (or a daughter, of course) is about leaving something behind. It is about fulfilling one’s role in the family context, it is about doing the hard work, day in and day out, which will ultimately establish whether or not you have left a positive mark in this word, if you have left something behind.


^^ That is, if your interested to read (it's not mine).


While about a job... Well, usually you've got CV's talking most of the time instead of looks, writing down:

'cut expenditure by 30% by providing a personal research on employees habits' or 'won a contract competition of $1m for my company' (all of this takes lots of time)

instead of

'I'm good looking (but obviously most likely I will not be after 30)'

will give you a big advantage of getting that job.



Of course, you must be a complete fool to go to an interview with a track suit instead of a work suit, but then again - thats something natural - like cutting your nails.

"Cute" often means you're also sexually unattractive. That can be a bummer.

Other than that, no, I'm flattered. I don't care how I fit the masculine role anyway.

My 3 year old daughter calls me "pretty" all the time. This is fine, I'm a pretty little flower and all that.

However, if an adult woman were to call me pretty, I won't lie, I would be kind of taken back - possibly questioning whether she was taking the piss.

I'm a girl and I wouldn't really be comfortable calling a guy "pretty" or "cute" unless he's my close friend and I'm joking around. "Beautiful" however, applies to both genders imo.
