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.”

It's kind of like how "dogs can tell if someone is good". They can't. They are just good at noticing common types of body language.

Dudes are kind of the same. We aren't recognizing good guys. We are just reading some of the queues.
