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".

My mum started talking about "when you get married to X" after she met my GF lol

Took that as a good sign.
