    Applies to conversation between straight (and I guess closeted) men who don't know each other particularly well.

    EDIT: Forgot to add "Wieners only" as an option. Just vote 'Other'. My bad.

    I compliment my male friends and even random strangers on their good style all the time. I'm not a homo and neither fear being called one for doing that either. It's nicer to hear a compliment from another stylish male than a female in my opinion, because most often the female just says what the guys wants to hear to not hurt his feelings.

    Hair (and conveniently ask where they get it styled, *ahem*, I mean, cut), brain and heart.

    I've learned it is okay to caress and even taste another man's genitals if the words, "no homo" are said.

    Never ever ever compliment a man, ever. You don't give compliments, only advice. You can motivate your son or a nephew or a young teen but another adult male?? Hell no, it's all competition from here on out. I compliment chicks because they're more emotional and damaged goods and I'm trying to get LAID!!!!!!!

    No homo gets you out of anything. Complete homosexual immunity.

    Dudes unsure of their masculinity will find ANYTHING weird. There's many ways and methods to compliment another male. Don't make it into a personal like or dislike. You can compliment on anything without it getting weird if you phrase it the right way. For example:

    On Hair
    YES: "Oh, wow, man... it looks like you take care of your hair very well. My compliments, sir."
    NO: "Oh, wow, that is BEAUTIFUL hair. I like it."

    About a Tie
    NO: "I like your tie! I like how good you look with the rest of your outfit!"
    YES: "That is a very good looking tie, man. It matches the rest of your ensemble. Well done."


    :cool:

    Don't know about directly, but third party you can compliment an athlete or male celebrity's musculature. That's where stuff like "swol" and "**** diesel" comes from.

    I think if you're all about to go out or just initially greeting, you can compliment clothes, hair and even cologne; but the last one you quickly follow-up with logistical questions about brand and retailers to depersonalize the compliment.

    Work has a lot of inter-generational and cross-cultural interactions that have no real bonds behind them but necessitate warmth and friendliness as those can be materially evaluated as part of performance. Complements about clothing can be taken fairly innocuously in those circumstances, as can those about significant weight loss.

    I won't lie, I've complimented a number of men's penis. Nothing wrong with admiring another stallion's wood.

    If you marked anything other than "Anything", you're insecure about your own body and/or sexuality.

    I've always respected a good, strong taint.

    Is this before, during, or after you've been dominated by a stronger male?
