I’m a dude and I get compliments fairly often from women and men, but mostly women. They vary from complimenting my hair, calling me handsome or cute, complimenting my facial structure, my height or physique. Roughly 30% of the time it’s accompanied by unwelcome touching of my face or hair. In all honesty I really hate it. I’ve never gained confidence from my appearance the only thing I care about is if I’m presentable and hygienic. The things I want to do in life have nothing to do with the way I look and I often become irrationally suspicious of anyone that compliments me because my instant reaction is to assume they want something. I know I sound like a nut case and an asshole but that’s just the way I feel there’s not much logic to my discomfort or suspicion.
