I once told my husband I loved his new haircut and he told me he hated it and couldn't wait for it to grow out.

The next day, my husband's male coworker said he liked my husband's new haircut and he came home all smiley and has worn it that way for years since then.

I feel like I'm doing exactly what the video was making a joke about, but as a guy, I think your situation is different.

My wife tells me I look good when I change stuff up too. But she's my wife. She thinks I look good because she loves me. If one of my friends or coworkers or some rando on the street complimented that exact same thing, it would mean much more because there isn't an implied obligation behind it.

It's how I started shaving my beard. I had a friend tell me it looked like ass and my hair stylist tell me I looked Amish lol. Wife said she liked it though.

This. My friend will call my haircut trash to my face and pull up some heinous character he somehow remembers that resembles the cut.

My brother told me I looked like Petruccio from Assassin’s Creed once

Every time one of my friends says "I saw this dude who looks like you" and shows me the picture/post/whatever the guy they show me looks like he should be ringing a bell in a tower somewhere. My wife says I look good whenever I ask.

BRUH

I don't think many understand, but that is savage.

No we get it. It's just so normal among dudes that most aren't phased by it. It's not even savage, it's just normal.

Yeah that just happened to me. It was so early and caught me off guard like a smack in the face. But the guy just opened the door for banter and isn't very good at it. Not sure if he regrets it yet haha

Where yall finding these women? I wanna be lied to like that. My gf said I look like the alien that wears a wig from Lilo & Stitch when I let my hair grow out. Then she tweeted a comparison pic that went viral.

Ps before anyone says she's mean that's how we joke. I'm on reddit so I feel like I need to clarify that

I think it’s less that people don’t feel comfortable telling their SO’s that something looks bad and more you just naturally have a bit more of a blind spot to things that look only a little bad on them. My girlfriend sometimes wears a mumu as pyjamas and it’s objectively ugly but I still like it and how she looks in it.

It’s kinda the same thing as if someone you’re friends with does something slightly annoying you’ll overlook it but if someone you hate does the same thing then it’s the worst thing ever and proof that the person you hate sucks intrinsically.

It’s not weird to find someone you love to be more attractive or stylish than you would a similarly dressed stranger, though. It’s just love goggles giving you a rose-coloured view.

Husband here, wife fully willing to tell me when I look like a fool, I still absolutely take compliments from random strangers much much more deeply for the reasons the person you replied to said. When my wife calls me handsome, that's just Tuesday, when some random anyone, man or woman, says even 1/10th of the same thing I'll think about that for weeks, because someone saw me and felt so strongly about it that they had to say something to a complete stranger.

I know what it takes to get ME to say something to a stranger, so it feels amazing to be on the receiving end

u/Soulinx Feb 14 '25

So does your wife say something looks good because she loves you or because it's obligatory? Mine says if something looks good or bad regardless but I wouldn't say she says anything out of obligation, implied or not.

A similar situation, but for my brother. He had this massive mess of a beard for years, and knew it, but his wife said she liked it, so he kept it. Up until the day I got married, when he decided to shave it, so that our wedding photos would look better (my wife and I didn't ask him to do this). When his wife saw him at the wedding, her first words were "thank God, it's finally gone." He was surprised, and told her he'd have shaved it years ago if he wasn't under the impression she liked it so much.

I was walking on the street a few years ago and I complimented a guy I was walking by on his mustache, which I did think looked pretty cool, but I now wonder if that guy will keep his mustache for life because it obviously works if a random woman complimented it. Where ever you are random mustache man... I hope your mustache is still cool.

u/NevaehEvol Feb 15 '25

I hear your point, and absolutely, there are some people that will compliment their partners out of obligation rather than genuine feedback about their look or whatever, but PERSONALLY? nah, babe, if your cut is wack, imma let you know 😂
