In order to keep this forum moving and interesting I thought I would start a new question. What is the best compliment, or compliments, you have received.
I’ll go first:
Last summer I was walking in an orange hunk thong on a quiet stretch of beach on the outer cape between two more crowded sections. About halfway in between, a late 30s ? attractive couple approached from the other direction. She was very outgoing and started a conversation which caught me off guard because I can be a bit more reserved. Anyway after chatting for a minute or so, she told me to “keep rocking my thong”and then her husband said said “I wish I had your confidence”
The second compliment that stands out was also from last summer and it came from the woman who has been waxing me for the last three years. Over the course of three weeks, I had laid out at like 8 different beaches and had savage thong tan lines to show for it. As I stripped down, she got to work and after I flipped over on my stomach…she made a nice but brief professional compliment on the tan lines. This lead to a more extensive conversation about how much time I had been spending on the beach but how I sometimes feel self conscious about wearing a thong as a guy. She said, don’t be silly…you look great and believe me I see a lot of people every week who shouldn’t wear a thong.

It’s funny that my goal is to be unremarkable and therefore not remarked upon. That being said, I don’t “hide”.
I sometimes wonder, what is a “compliment”? I was out (SUP) surfing today and finished up near the beach showers. I walked to the showers, rinsed off my wetsuit, and walked a few hundred yards back to my car in an M67, carrying my board and wetsuit. At the showers, the 1/2 dozen people there paid me no mind (goal achieved?). But as I was walking to my car I got pretty thoroughly checked out by a pretty woman walking towards me, who then gave me a glowing smile. Compliment? I’d like to think so.
When I got to my car and was leaning my board against a fence, another woman came up to me to ask, How is the water? How are the waves? Has the algae gone away? We chatted a bit, but honestly she and her BF were two minutes away from figuring out the answers on their own. She was wearing a very small thong herself. Solidarity? Who knows!
The memorable compliments are all pretty much like “I love your swimsuit!”, which I’ve gotten from both men and women and never ever heard when wearing board shorts.

The putting on and taking off the wetsuit among other surfers is always ripe for positive comments. I’ve been told, “see, that’s smart, that better than a towel change or stuffing trunks inside a wetsuit” and, “surf in just your thong?” Which I take it as a positive/break the ice comment that led to a good conversation on surfing in Costa Rica and cold waters in California.

I actually got my first couple of swim thongs for this exact reason: wearing under wetsuits, not having to change under a towel, not having to try to cram board shorts into a wetsuit.

Positive comment seem to be fairly common in my experience. Just a couple days ago I had a man ask to talk with me and my female friend. He said that he liked our confidence and our skimpy suits.
I had a couple (M/F) tell me that I “rock that thong.” When I wear some of my more unique patterns or metallic glitter thongs, I get told that my suit is great. I’ve also heard; you’re brave, I wish I could wear that, I wish my boyfriend would wear a thong…
