Was just going to say that this really depends on you and your friends. Got one friend group that is all about cuddling drunk, giving shoulder massages and complimenting each other. Got another that is more about board games and being sure feet don't touch accidentally under the table. All friends are valid <3
I had one friend kinda like that. I felt really weirded out by it at first.
Haven't interacted with him in years (he was married to another close friend of mine, they got divorced and I haven't heard a peep from either of them in years sadge), but now the few friends I have that knew him as well still kinda make comments like him in his memory.
I love the ambiguity. Is "a friend like that" a person that cuddles or a person that has an irrational fear of touching feet?
One that would make jokes about how hot or handsome we were. Just had a sense of humor that seemed similar to the description.
straight up gay flirt
Hmm, I gotta get my work friends adjusted to this/conditioned to do this, it's way too boring in the office.
How does one go about doing something like this?
I'll try with a nice complement, perhaps a soft whisper at the urinals.
As long as they are close enought to know that you are not really trying to date them you are good to go
No, I don't like people, I just want office shenanigans.
Then just go ahead and hope for the best
I started wearing women's glasses and I cannot go outside without people complementing them. I go out with my gorgeous sexy partner, and people still complement my freaking glasses. They're translucent pink cat eye frames.
Probably because they draw attention from the rest of your face, jerk!
Hey, sexy glasses, Jerkface!
What, you women have never met a straight man before!? We honk each others' dongs all the time! It's called being interested in your friends!!!
Nothing wrong with a brojob between buddies.
Choo choo!
psh i'll compliment a guy and leave it totally ambiguous.
I'll compliment a man and French kiss him. Totally ambiguous.
... or just leave it totally IamBiGayus - to be safe from the potential (mis)assumption that you are French.
Here's an interesting one: kissing a gay guy on the cheek, or letting him kiss you on the cheek is neutral, as long as the guy is out of the closet. Hugging and/or kissing a straight guy is gay.
Omg, a King Missile reference in the wild, how wild!!
And yes, discussing straight sex with the same sex person is gay, I've alloys felt that (still nothing wrong with that ... well, apart from when the ultra-tryhardwannabe-alpha males do it, ugh, just kiss already and the the charade).
it's the frenchness. it's ambiguous because it's french :3
As long as you're in France this is not gay also if you're French it's ok, also if you have ever ate French fries it's not Gay,.
I'll lovingly kiss a man, and then literally crucify him. Totally ambiguous!
I've literally never gotten a compliment from a friend. I would find it quite weird if I did.
Pro tip: if all your friends are online and you never show them what you look like, they can never compliment you nor not compliment you. Its a win win!
I updated my profile pic on teams with a professional shot after a fresh shave and a button down.
I'm normally unshaven and in gaming t shirts.
Needless to say I got lots of compliments from both guys and girls in meetings on "cleaning up good" and "looking fresh"
Felt good.
Until you realize that they're just complimenting the fake you, not the normal, typical you.
Fuck this fake or normal nonsense.
It's you. There's you when you're relaxed, and there's you when you turn it up. It's all you.
Just do whatever you feels most you in the moment. Want to be the hot shit on the block, turn it up. Giving no fucks, grab the T.
Yes, but getting comments like this is clearly referring to the difference in the picture.
And given that nobody looks like photo day every day, they're not saying you actually look better, they're saying the photo-prepped version looks good.
I'm not saying he's not the same person or something.
Maybe "fake" was a bad word choice, but I thought the meaning was clear either way.
You mean how you just pointed it out
Eh, I've met quite a few people who look better in person than their profile pics. That can work in either direction.
True enough for sure.
This was just a quick mild jab for the sake of humor. Obviously I have no idea how they appear IRL. Maybe it works better with people you know.
I'm not literally trying to drag the guy, for the record.
It tends to get better with younger generations. I've gotten a lot of good and bad feedback about some changes I made during the last months but pretty much exclusively from friends and co-workers under 40.
Was never weird though. Just smile and say something like "Right? I'm trying that out. Thank you :)"
Accepting compliments can be learned.
It would be way less weird if they said:
"Hey man. You look like absolute dogshit, bro."
Do you give out compliments to your buds?
Idk, in my friend group it's 50-50 for... "Hey, you look less like shit today, did you get a nose job?"
Or
"Good lord, stay away from me with that new haircut. I'm already nursing a semi!"
Now I'm just imaging a breast feeding semi-truck
I feel like there is a moob joke there somewhere, but can't find it.
The dichotomy of man

Dicocktomy
Somebody can do better than that, lol
I'm so glad I have actually good friends we can compliment and joke around without feeling uncomfortable ahah.
You can't do much about your friend's haircut, but she's got a couple of ways of getting into that underwear.
Just sayin'.
Don't let your dreams be dreams.
He can get into her underwear now too. It's 2025 bruh.
I just offer my friends head. Not gay but their haircut looks good yknow
I feel like this person doesn't know any women or men.
I'm not gay! stop hitting on me!
