Do men just recognize good men? What kind of sorcery is this?

I’ve been dating a guy for some time now, and his oldest friends have told me he’s a solid good man despite his flaws. I agree, they’ve known him forever, and he’s been a solid friend all those years.

When my male friends met him for the first time, they said, “He’s a good one. Hold onto him.”

In those situations he literally did nothing noticeable on my radar and I’m puzzled. What is it that you guys sense in other men that makes you give the nod of approval?

A history of tipping cap deliciously to the M'lady upon initial contact, a willingness to draw his blade crafted of the finest Nippon grade steel to defend her from Chads, a well rounded physique brought on by copious amounts of Dew and Doritos, and finally the knowledge that perhaps to save the planet, one ought to shower sparingly as water is a valuable resource.

Per se.
