I feel like men internalize a compliment to an extreme degree. So, if someone says "Hey, you have nice legs." they'll wear shorts when it's 45 degrees out, or wear the same hat for 10 years, because someone complimented it once. Is this just me?
@RickiTarr socially it's a lot less common for men to receive compliments based on their looks, so I wouldn't be surprised if what compliments they do get are taken a bit too seriously
