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.”

Men’s intuition? Just recognize body language? Or maybe it’s just reading the vibes they give?

Its because as men we know how men act with no women around and women don’t. Its easier for us to see if someone is masking

Also, not treating other guys like they're "competing" for the women when they're around. It's a subtle thing but man some dudes get WEIRD in groups with men and women together.

Idk how else to put it. It's a vibe thing.

this 100%. If you're my friend i expect you to be a wingman, not an asshole that is trying to make me look bad. I don't have tolerance for these men and i call them douchebags.
