I'm not sure where to begin here. A few weeks ago, I was approached by another male at work. He said, "That's a nice outfit" as he kinda scanned me up and down. I said thanks albeit with some hesitation. Now...I have nothing against homosexuals. I am not homophobic in the least. I don't care what homosexuals do with their partners as it truly has no impact on my life whatsoever. Today, the same male approached me again and said, "You look really nice." This particular guy is married with kids so I do not believe he is gay but he could be in the closet. Doesn't matter. What matters is it just seems odd. It feels odd. I was also approached a bit later today and the same guy asked me where I had gotten the sweater that I was wearing yesterday. Said it was nice. Personally, I think the guy is an asshole and that's saying a lot because I think I'm an asshole. Most dudes don't say that kind of stuff to each other. If I saw a guy I knew that was dressed up I might say, "Damn you clean up well" "WTF...are you bucking for a promotion" or something along those lines. I would never tell another dude that he looked "nice" and I damn sure would never use the word "outfit". Just doesn't seem like it would feel right. I'm not even sure if I would ask a dude where they got a sweater at. Although I am glad that he didn't ask where I got my pants from because then that would mean that his eyes were likely scanning my ass or my sack region.
If you saw a dude dressed nicely, what kind of compliment would you throw out if you felt inclined to do so?
Hey at least he hasn't asked you to go camping. But seriously, that is a bit odd. In the past, I've asked other professionals I work with where they get their clothing. I say something like, you always dress sharp and look professional. Where do you shop and do you get your clothing tailored? I've never commented on any one "outfit" they had on, or any one piece of clothing. That is what women do, or guys playing for the wrong team.
