    Being told you’re a lucky guy to have the girl you’re with is pretty much the height of cishet male-to-male compliments

    I personally would be more likely to interpret that as being told I’m not good enough for her. But that’s just me.

        Depends, same age guy yeah it can come across as a threat, but older guys have said it to me and I’ll say it to younger guys. Like im forty, you guys are 25, im not stealing your girl lol. Like my 70 year old boss can say it to me and i know he just isn’t a threat at all, he can say with experience that my gf is better looking than me lol

          Eh I’d be careful, 40/2+7 = 27, so according to the ancient folklore 25 isn’t that far off the “acceptable range” and the younglings could definitely think you’re creeping.
