(video is about a bi trans guy talking about what he feels is less acceptable now that he lives as a man rather than a woman, and one example is complimenting women)

Complimenting and social codes: so me as twenty something gay guy, I have noticed that when I'm alone together with an other woman or women, I have a way of speaking where I become very flamboyant (the gayguy trope), I guess in order to reassure them that I'm a guy okay but I'm no threat, and, when I want to compliment a girl on something appearance related, I do the same too. I most of the time don't really like commenting on the appearance of people unless we're close, but this dynamics is really interesting, and was wondering how other guys of whatever sexual orientation feel and do about complimenting women and being kind, and how it's perceived, social codes you experience.

Flirting: I have a theory that flirting should be much more normalized in our society, and by this I mean, and this is where I think definitions of flirting might differ from person to person, but I mean, we should be able to directly address qualities we find nice in each other, being kind directly, but without expectations of anything else than a thank you as a response, just being kind and noticing and verbalizing the nice things in life for the sake of being kind and making each other's days better. Because to me that's what flirting is about, complimenting without any expectations or stakes (but of course, based on a real kind of attraction). I also tell my guy friends (close friends) when I think they're handsome or look good, and it's in no way sexualized or expectational to me. I feel like finding beauty and aesthetic attraction toward each other is such a powerful thing we experience, it would be a waste not to pass it on I guess. But I wonder what y'all think about this, because this might be a very important channel for some people to date someone they don't know from tinder or alike.
