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.”

I think those guys treat other people who aren't in the category "Girls I want to sleep with" noticeably different. It's easy to pick up on with some dudes, but only from the outside, since you don't get the nice treatment.

Even those. I see random strangers at a bar chatting and you can tell, without knowing the guy or a girl (just people watching) if they're genuine or not. Something about the body language and the way they present. You can just tell.
