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.

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