Which strangely, has become a yardstick for judging how beautiful or handsome a person is. Telling a man he is handsome makes him feel wanted and appreciated which in turn boosts his confidence.
It Boosts Their Mood:
It can be easy to treat men like they aren’t humans, but they are and a simple compliment like how good-looking they are, goes a long way in boosting their mood and helping them feel good about themselves. If you’ve had a long day, or you are having one, a well-delivered compliment has the power to put a smile on your face and that applies to men also.
It Makes Them Feel Wanted And Sexy:
When you call a man “handsome” you make him feel like there is something attractive about him. You make him feel wanted and sexy, even if there isn’t a romantic attachment between the both of you, it still makes him feel he is sexy and attractive enough to get whoever might catch his fancy. Again, boosting his self-esteem.
It Helps Them Feel Closer To You:
In relationships, guys are used to being the ones dishing out compliments but that shouldn’t be the case. Men also like to hear that their partners still find them handsome and dashing. When this is done, it makes the man feel in tune and closer to his partner. It encourages intimacy between them and fosters vulnerability.
It Makes Them Feel Seen:
These days everyone is so busy with life and playing catch up with others around us that it is easy to feel overlooked and invisible. Telling a man that he is handsome may help him feel ‘seen’ and not just a face in this pool of humans. It may help ground him, remind him that another human recognizes him.
It May Reduce Depression:
Depression often makes one feel like the worst of the litter and it can be difficult to get out of that fog. When someone compliments a depressed man, it gives him a positive boost even for a moment and makes him feel good. Even if it doesn’t cure his depression, a little boost of positivity and appreciation can make a whole lot of difference.
It Works Wonders For Sexual Performance:
A guy likes it when he is called handsome because it can work wonders for his sexual stamina. Especially, when the compliment comes from his partner, he feels good in his skin and is eager to brandish his sexual stamina. He is more open to trying new things and giving his best because his confidence has been boosted and he has the feeling that he can do anything as well as meet your sexual needs.
It Makes Them Feel Fitter or Healthier:
When guys are complimented on how handsome they look, they tend to want to keep getting such compliments. This may spur them to keep fit, eat right, and exercise to ensure that you still find them handsome.
