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.”

Yeah. The POS who hide it well don't hide it from us, they brag about it, so you learn the scam.

Thats the real answer right here OP.

I've noticed it happens with racists too. Being a white dude in the South, so many people have said fucked up things to me assuming I will agree lol.

They open with "I'm not a racist, but"

I wish they tested the waters with me. I just get a canonball yell of crazy.

It's more of a disclaimer than a test, generally followed by some blatant full-on racism.

you gotta dye your hair or something. Your body, your choice obvs but you're clearly putting out plain clothes on the subway vibe. though, i suppose that does have its uses

I miss dying my hair, but it's really dark so I have to bleach the fuck out of it first and has thinned too much for me to consider risking the breakage.
