looking good

we men don't get compliments. compared to women we really don't get any. with women it's second nature to compliment one another. with men, it's like admitting that you go to pink bars when you praise other men. and when it comes to complimenting the opposite sex, men do it rarely (and rarely sincere) and when they do it you know it's just buttering up (if you know what i mean) or they were forced into it. when women say something nice about men you know it's genuine but men generally screws it all up by thinking that it's a come on and thus in turn women get turned off by this immaturity and they then are hesitant to compliment men.

so i was quite surprised when a friend i haven't seen in a while (about five++ months) told me that i looked good. instinct told me that i have to compliment her back but i didn't. i didn't because i didn't want to say something just for the sake of saying it. (on hindsight, she really did looked good new-hair slim-figure and all.) so i just thanked her. which turned out to be great because she told me another compliment. sweet!

forward to next day. my officemate told me that i was blooming. thinking back on what happened the day before that, i just thanked her. yep, there was another compliment after that. dude!

so for you guys out there if you get complimented just say thanks and see good results.

(hmmm... but maybe i only got complimented because i haven't seen them in quite a while. (girl #1 works abroad hence the not seeing applies. girl #2 is indeed my officemate but we don't get to see each other because i always always stay at my place.) maybe i just looked different to them. fresh maybe?)

okay now you can now bash me. begin by saying how conceited and insecure i am at the same time. that'd be a good start. hehe. ;)
