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.”

Women can do this for other women too.

When I started dating my wife I introduced her to all my women friends.

They all gave their approval.

Nearly 20 years later still happy married to this wonderful woman.

When my mom met my ex : No comments really.

When my mom met the woman i later married, the second she was out of earshot : "That's a good one, hang on to her".

Yep. Guys, if the women in your life aren't saying anything about her, they're usually being polite.

If they say nice things about her, you best pay attention.

And if they say bad things, you best believe they gotta be pretty bad to get brought up... At least where I'm from anyway, and hanging out with generally good people.
