Hello men, I’d be interested to hear about men in your life that you admire? Why? And have you ever told them?

  • By admire I mean having great respect for.
  • They can’t be related to you.
  • You have to know them personally but doesn’t have to be knowing them very well.
  • It can’t be because of wealth, power or looks/physique. The reason I’m asking is because we know there is a male depression epidemic. I know it’s because of a long list of issues, but maybe one is that many men only get compliments from partners or measure value based on material or vanity metrics. As a woman I tell my friends all the time things that I admire about them and how they bring me pride and joy. Being on the receiving end can be uncomfortable at times when it doesn’t match my self perception but it reminds me of the value others see in me which makes me feel good. submitted by /u/stilldreamingoftml
