I want to work on complimenting other men more! Specifically my goal is to compliment people on things they clearly worked hard on or put in effort, cause it sucks if you work super hard or care about something and then don't feel like anyone notices.

So I'm going to try and compliment people who:

Have really well done and unique tattoos

Are older but super athletic (It's harder and more thankless, since when you're young and athletic you're usually in sports and get lots of praise. At least that was my experience)

Have super sharp outfits

Have really nice shoes (nice shoes are expensive and keeping them clean is legit hard)

what are other good compliments we should give each other?

EDIT: Oh and I still remember when I got a compliment on what I was getting while grocery shopping. So if I see like real good food in there I'll try to throw out a "looks like you're cooking up some good stuff"

As a father, I'd like to hear how well I combine being an emotionally supportive dad while maintaining a demanding job and taking care of cooking, repairs and other stuff at home.

Hey - very much feel this one.

It will likely come from your kids in the future, the validation doesn't come from society. They get to a point where they recognise what you did and say thanks.

You're doing well, keep it up mate.

Good one. My kids are teens, so I’m always happy to hear anything about how well they grew up

[–] matengor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your kids are really nice human beings. You did well raising them!

Thank you. I’m so proud of them
