    Being told you’re a lucky guy to have the girl you’re with is pretty much the height of cishet male-to-male compliments. There’s literally no compliment I would rather receive, and it’s pretty deeply ingrained in our culture.

      About 7 years ago, my now-wife and I had just moved to this city and she was struggling to find work. We attended a few networking events to try to figure out the job market for her field here.

      Now, I mean. I know my wife is hot. She was then, she is now. She can and has stopped traffic. People have fallen off bikes to gawp at her. Women have thrown themselves at her. Men act like boys around her.

      At this professional networking event, while my wife had stepped away, a man wearing a 3-piece suit and clearly well into his career turned to me and said “I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but she’s … really … beautiful.” The overall affectation and delivery was fawning, cautious, even. He was kind of moon-eyed. The guys around him all nodded somberly, as if they’d been stricken.
      He had been talking with the men around him when we wandered over, and they all went a bit quiet when we came over.

      Clearly, I still remember the compliment. It was a great testament to how hot my wife is. She’s a babe. (And like, fun, funny, and sweet and all the other stuff that makes relationships work.)

      I personally would be more likely to interpret that as being told I’m not good enough for her. But that’s just me.

          It’s as if people don’t know you can just say no homo right after the classic nice cock, bro.

              I think I prefer to lick his taint while I’m humming to really tickle his glans. It’s difficult to get the humming right when you bob deep enough, but with some practice it’s almost second nature.

          Depends, same age guy yeah it can come across as a threat, but older guys have said it to me and I’ll say it to younger guys. Like im forty, you guys are 25, im not stealing your girl lol. Like my 70 year old boss can say it to me and i know he just isn’t a threat at all, he can say with experience that my gf is better looking than me lol

            Eh I’d be careful, 40/2+7 = 27, so according to the ancient folklore 25 isn’t that far off the “acceptable range” and the younglings could definitely think you’re creeping.

                I just brought it up in jest but I’d definitely be careful about what I say to mid-twenties as a 40yo man, was more the point.

      But this guy read the game in an even more deluded way than the average reader and thought he could just say “I am the prize” and have it be true
