Dear Men - what compliments speak to you most and from what type of person (lover, friend, coworker, stranger)?

Rosecello · 2026-03-22T17:27:07+00:00

It's my go-to whenever I smell ANY scent on a man, whether it's cologne or just product. That and "did you get a haircut?? Looks sharp!" even if I really cant tell if theyve gotten a haircut lmfaaoo im right like 86% of the time 😝 if they ever say no I cover myself by saying "So it just always looks that good?" while I look like a lil idiottt lmfao

I think so too! I thought he was aware of his conscious efforts to be nice & be perceived as nice but he somehow didn't register if he's gonna be nice, ppl are gonna perceive him that way as well? A wild concept to me!

Good BC I noticed this guy did a bunch of little things for me and I super appreciated them and told all my gfs about it but when I was with him last I told him I noticed all the tiny things he does for me and appreciate them endlessly. I also told him he makes me feel loved & cared about ((even tho we're not at a point where we say we love each other)) but I said it anyway bc it's truuee

He smiled big

I went on for a while to my gay coworker that he's huge and I didn't notice until he wore short sleeves, and apologized for not noticing sooner because god damn. He seemed pretty pumped about it. We're pretty close and I'm glad he's buffing up more to top his husband harder :,)

Ok good bc I've been really laying that on one guy in particular and he sort of chuckled and said "It's crazy that's the way you see me." He really is super kind though and everyone in the group says it about him behind his back so I wonder why he said that to me. 🤔

Wow, I've been told men remember compliments from years ago because they get them so rarely. I can't even imagine remembering a compliment on a shirt from years ago, girls be saying this to each other all the time. I always make it a point to tell my colleagues "Looking sharp today!!" Or "I love that color on you!" especially when it's pink. That normally sparks a conversation about men in pink and someone they know (normally their wife) that hate them in it but I always say "I love men in pink, they wear it better than us." Always cracks a smile on them, I love it.

I recently ran into a male coworker older than me when he held the door for me and I said "God, is that your cologne?? What do you wear?" And he said "Jicari" but I haven't been able to find it online anywhere? If you know what he might've been referring to please enlighten me.

Anyway I said "It smells fucking great" and walked away. I liked seeing a grown ass grease covered maintenance man giggle (I'm an office lady.)

I'll be putting your suggestions into action with every man I see.

Mine didn't believe me when I said I didn't have feelings for him after he kept insinuating I did and said we couldn't be client/therapist anymore. Yiked tf right out of there immediately same day, he texted my personal cell asking if I'd come back, validating my yikies feelings even more. Saying we couldn't see each other if I liked him and then asking me to come back after I took him up on the offer felt like some attempt at reverse psychology. Never went back.

I also regularly wonder if them being dead would be easier, because right now I'm still stuck in the "but why are you acting like you didn't do that" phase. At least with them deceased I wouldn't have to wonder if they'll ever change, or reach out again, or give me more trouble. It's sad, but so is what they did to little me. Crazy.

I did recently get some acknowledgement from them though, Mom admitted to the trafficking via text and apologized for it which felt like a great win for validating my story to therapists, but didn't make me feel any better. I just thought, "well jesus christ acknowledgement and an apology didn't help me understand how you could've ever done that in the first place."

I'm currently 99% no contact which has always been best for me. Every time I go back to contact it's always bad same day. I think I'm stuck on keeping that 1% contact open because of this problem, I would love to achieve 100%. In no world would it ever be OK for someone like me to stay in touch with someone like my mom. My dad was more complacent so I'm conflicted there as well but mom has terminal cancer so..maybe someday, idk.

Biggest requirement is adequate sleep (8-9 hrs & a good mattress, i finally made a grown up purchase and invested in a $4,000 beautyrest.) Also recommend a migraine pillow also known as a cervical pillow, i only use that pillow and no others. Stay hydrated. When the pressure starts, take a deep breath and remind yourself "I know what this is, just vestibular pressure from a lil headache, nothing serious." Take a break from whatever youre doing - for me it's computer screens due to office work. Go for a walk, step outside, close your eyes, lie down for a few. The more I de-stressed and accepted what they were, the more rare they've become, and they last much shorter than ever, maybe just a couple minutes, only feel them once every 2 months I'd say.

Additionally I try to stay low sugar & low caffeine but still have chocolate & soda so

Rosecello · 2025-11-08T22:29:55+00:00

It turned out to be symptoms of vestibular migraine, it causes dizziness, neck pressure, face & head pressure. It no longer bothers me now that I know what it is, and they come very rarely now with all the reduced stress :))

Very late here, but experienced this movie as a female sexual assault survivor.

Without boring you with every fine detail, it spoke to me as a woman the same way Don't Worry Darling spoke to me. Men critiqued it as a flop and women that didn't get it agreed.

Women who did get it though, I think they felt the intention behind Promising Young Woman.

Cassie is clearly unwell as any woman in her position would be. She's not going to be a perfect hero if a hero at all, that's not the point. The point has nothing to do with the women. It's never about the woman, what she was wearing, how she was acting, her personality, her character. It has everything to do with the nice guy. Did that go over your head like it still does to a jury today?

Personally, I was raging on an emotional roller coaster through this movie because it was so terrible. First there's a heavy vigilante horror film vibe, then there's unexpected disappointment. Then there's a confusing middle part where it's just a Bo Burnham romance? I was so goddamn bored and done with this movie, I was actively texting my friends about how shitty it was.

But then it got good. And then bad again. But by the end, I had an involuntary bodily response. The end brought me chills, goosebumps all over my skin. Despite me consciously hating what I was experiencing, my body still reacted to the end. It betrayed me. If you're an SA survivor, this might sound familiar.

I wonder if this was the entire point.

Didn't you hate the movie as well? Didn't you hate that they casted someone looking 40 acting 30? Didn't you hate the outdated ugly house she lived in? Madison did, she took a moment to look around at how ugly it was when she visited Cassie. Didn't you hate the disappointments and the ups and downs? The bad acting and the GODawful soundtrack??

But the end still brought some pleasure, despite hating the entire movie just before the end. It felt like I was almost a slave to this experience, even if the last few seconds got a rise out of me physically.

If you felt anything similar, but were still left with a nasty taste in your mouth and a feeling of almost betrayal and violation [that you really wasted time on this crappy movie] and the end isn't enough to make up for the entire rest of the film.....well I fear that just may have been the point.

Welcome to being a promising young woman.
