You're starting to sound like myself there. On a given day, I can look into a crowd of people and see so much negative...the guy who thinks he's the best thing since Christ because he's got the latest designer clothes, the girls who haven't a meaningful thought in their head aside from the latest gossip, the guys who will treat their partner as a piece of property, and the girls who'll soak it right up, because the guy they're with is what's considered "cool." Whatever happened to things like chivalry? Respect? Honor?

Do yourself a favor Shezbut, and take it from me: Don't sound like me. The world becomes dreary and vapid really, really quick.

On that note, don't be so quick to instantly dismiss a compliment like that. You're right, to a point. A guy will always say that. But, it doesn't mean it can't be sincere if he means it, you know? There does exist those things I mentioned above in both guys and girls...it's becoming a rarity these days, but they aren't extinct quite yet. Don't give up hope.
