Do guys like compliments about their looks?

Heck yeah. They may laugh it off or change the subject, but believe me, they liked that you spoke up!

Yes.

I have trouble accepting compliments about anything, but it does feel good to be complimented. Looks are no different.

No.

They prefer the “doe in the headlights” look that women get when a man is good looking.

Absolutely.
We’ve just been socialized to act like we don’t have emotions, so we haven’t been taught how to appreciate compliments properly.

Most guys do inside, but unfortunately in this society we tend to make guys uncomfortable about looking and feeling good about themselves. A lot of men tend to be scared when it comes to looking their best, dressing well, and even grooming themselves properly, for fear of being labelled “gay”. I think that a lot of guys don’t want other guys to look good, because they are intimidated and don’t want the “good-looking, well-dressed guys” to get the girl. So they dress like slobs and call that the “real men look”, in hopes of dissuading other men to do the same. So that’s why when we men get complimented for our looks, we feel outwardly feel embarrassed by it, but deep inside we like the attention. ;)

@Sarcasm You make a great point which is sort of tied in to what I said. It’s all about socialization and the way guys are raised, and how people treat men and the consideration given to their looks. In the past, men used to dress well (not necessarily dress expensively, just neatly) and groom themselves properly, out of pride and self-respect, every day of their lives. Today, many men seem to dress well and groom themselves properly only for a special occasion, like a night on the town. Part of it has to do with laziness, and the desire for convenience and comfort——It’s easier to just slap on a baseball cap than comb your hair, or wear your old, well-worn jeans and not your ironed slacks. Lol.

I do think guys really do like it to be about them sometimes. At least that’s what Toby Keith thinks.

Anyway, go ahead and tell a guy how handsome he looks. Whenever I have, it always seems to have been more than appreciated.

Why of course. I see no reason why we should be any different from women in that respect. Besides, it’s nice to have the facts confirmed every now & then. At least in my case ;¬}

Most males I’ve ever known really like compliments and don’t feel like they get very many, like it isn’t cool to compliment a guy. I dunno. When it comes to their looks then I think it’s just a societal affect for men to not be open to flattery.

I think they do

Of course. Who doesn’t like compliments? :)

If it is sincere then yes of course.

Every person likes a compliment about their looks whether he is male or female, child or adult. How they express their pleasure that is individual.
