    Assuming it’s between friends comfortable touching each other, I comprehend why men are apprehensive from being raped by homosexuals and homophobic harassers.
    Now mix the genders on these panels: A woman complimenting a man’s haircut, and Sarah being a man instead.

    My friends compliment me on my physique and being well dressed pretty often. Sometimes they give me shit for it to but that’s just banter. I don’t compliment them much on their appearance but that’s because they usually dress pretty schlubby and don’t take care of themselves.

    Girl half is def. accurate.

    It’s not something I’ve ever done, but I’ve had a ton of friends do to me. And I absolutely do feel them or whatever they want.

    My bff even showed me her nipple piercings after she got them, so I could compliment her on them :p

      Boy half is somewhat accurate, but usually it’ll be some other friend in the conversation who’ll jump in with some stupid remark like “what you guys homo now”, and the rest will join in and laugh.

      Having learned their lesson, they’ll know not to compliment another boy again, and to mock others if they do it.

      It spreads like a cancer, really.

    The male thing seems so (finally) die out in younger generations. Just give people compliments, spread happiness. The world’s already fucked up enough for gods sake

      I’m in my mid thirties, me and my friends always have been like this. We also cuddle sometimes, always have. When we had movie nights we would have what we’d call the puppy pile - just put your head on my shoulder bro.

      We didn’t even know it was unusual until a friend visited with his gf while we had movie night and she was endeared when she saw the puppy pile “I love how comfortable you all are with each other!” - “What do you mean?”

      Cuddle your bros, bros! It’s nice :)

      I love the glee that women show when displaying their pockets. One of the first things I did when learning to sew was add pockets to many of my garments, so I get to do this quite frequently. It’s a sweet slice of trivial solidarity

        A friend has extremely asymmetrical breasts, so a bra that fits their larger breast doesn’t fit their smaller one. They have a gel insert to put into that cup to account for this, but they also made a little pocket pouch in the same shape/size.

        A lot of pushup bras also have a little pocket for a smaller kind of gel insert. I know a couple people who find that pocket useful for hiding valuable and/or illicit things (e.g. drugs)

        Any bra with removable inserts has pockets, and yes they are very handy in a pinch, but you access them from the armpit area, usually.

        I’m sure if you were willing to spend unholy amounts of money there’s a bra with pockets but I do not even want to think the price!
