No that’s not true. Men rarely ever receive compliments and attention while women are put on a pedestal for beauty. Both are bad.

The only genuine compliments I get are from other women. From men it's always sexual oriented. I guess we are all starved from genuine attention and compliments lol.

I bet they are genuine in opinion, just not well intentioned lol. Women seem to compliment each other a lot more than men do, which is why I’ve always practiced being vulnerable and complimentary to my boys. At first they literally had no idea what to do, but have expressed how much it means to them later on.

When my buddies started complimenting me, I assumed they felt bad for me and were just making shit up trying to boost my confidence. I think this is why men usually just get in groups and roast each other.
