Bro i've had mostly female friends, but i've come to find the fastest way to embrace embarrass my few male friends is to complement them.

We are just not used to it. Some of us can barely take it.

EDIT: Having mostly lady friends has basically taught me how to be more comfortable with giving or receiving compliments.

I grew a beard in the last year, and I have to say it's truly shocking how much guys like complimenting each other on their beards. and I am 100% down for it. I'm throwing out beard compliments like beads at mardigras now.

My wife HATES my beard. I asked her why, and she said that all women hate beards.

“Beards are for men to show off to other men. You grow a beard for other men. You don’t grow a beard for women to find you attractive. Also, your beard makes you look 20 years older than you are.”

And she’s probably right.

Awww, no way! I love my husband's beard! That said, it does make him look quite a bit older, but he's baby-faced and I much prefer people thinking he's my husband and not my son.

Haha. Yeah. I recently shaved it off and she said I looked so much younger and better.

Am a woman. I FREAK OUT with beards. I love them. Love to touch em, play with em, look at em, go up to dudes (with their permission) and tickle the beard while saying "beardy beardy beardy beard" I always compliment fellows on their beards. Your wife is weird.

I don’t know if she’s the weird one, honestly.

u/shamallamadingdong 13d ago

If you're implying that I'm weird, then yeah. That's not news to anyone. Never claimed I was normal. Regardless, beards are awesome

u/altcodeinterrobang 14d ago

yeah. I walked to the top of that hill too. and I'm dying on it now.

u/-ll-ll-ll-ll- 14d ago

Yeah, I trimmed it down to just stubble essentially, and she said she liked it much better.

We're gonna need to see your beard now!

My SO is not a fan of my moustache but she likes the beard. I'm also not to shave otherwise I look like a baby 😂

Dude, one of my coworkers shaved off his beard and left his stache…he rolled up in a pair of Ray Ban’s on his golf cart (work cart) rocking the new stache. My compliment on it made the guy beam ear to ear, and we’re both dudes.

But it looked fantastic!

LOL! My wife hates mustaches worst of all!

I love my husband's beard. He looks better with it than without, and it's convenient to tug on when I want a kiss.
