Yes. We have guns and swords and mace and tasers and all that now. I aint scared of noone swinging a dinosaur bone as a weapon

This. Does he also like YOU or just the attention you give? Because if it’s not you, one day he’ll find someone he likes and leave you to pursue them. I like when people I’m interested in keep in touch frequently, but I would never word it as “I like you BECAUSE you give me attention.”

I think if you had to ask you already know the answer. He’s stating in not so many words that he likes feeling desired. It’s an ego boost in his offseason. I say run.

I think that it makes a lot of money for some very rich people. Outside of that, it is nothing more than a spectacle to keep the masses satiated.

It depends, he could just be lonely and in a bad place mentally so he will take anyone that gives him attention or hes clumsy at expressing feelings.

Ask him to elaborate

He could like you, obviously he might not. Those saying they know based on this one thing are lying to you. He might have meant "I like you because I feel you listen to me and genuinely want to spend time with me" or he could mean "I'm lonely and you're easy". I reiterate, no one, not me or any of the other bozos in this comment section know which one he meant, because none of us have every met him.

I'm an infamous scourge of the seas, but not nearly so infamous as I'll be among confused history students in a few centuries time.

Yeah, there’s nothing unconditional about that statement. Sounds rather transactional. But more context is needed to know for sure.

Asholes don't say it out loud. Probably just what the man said he likes that you give him attention and probably doesn't realize that it sounds like that is the only thing he likes in you.

Meh, it's a sport I guess.

It means that you giving him attention is a thing he likes about you. If it is the sole thing he deems likeable about you or rather the only thing he desires in someone, then run. If it's just one thing among many, then it's not necessarily a red flag.

Many men receive barely any compliment throughouts their whole life, which is why they remember the few ones they got. Some men don't even receive attention (loners, outcasts etc.), so just your attention will be a light in the dark to them.

Though, I'd say in most cases it's a red flag.

You can’t resume a whole relationship on that phrase, it depends on a lot of things, specially context. Some people are really bad expressing them selves too.

I'd like it if a lady paid me attention. Good start to a beutiful relationship. Imagine if she didn't even acknowledge me.

THANKS

I will always try to adequately repair before replacing something's that broken.

I can not stand damaged walls, floors, or ceilings in my own quarters. Have to have everything ship shape.

I do not tolerate bugs. I lived in several places as a renter that turned out to have bug problems. At one point, detonated a six pack at once of bug bombs and the buggers still survived.

I view ever purchase, frivolous or required, in terms of hours of work necessary to acquire it.

I splurge on Christmas gifts for friends and family. If I give you something, it means I want you to have the joy of nice gifts.

Means he doesn't get attention elsewhere.

Lol

That’s a little too kinky. I bet if he wore khakis to work that’d be insane.

First of all you need to understand that your reaction to something isn't "It's a good thing" or "I need to run". There is a huge spectrum of possibilities between those two statements.

Dreams LOL

Basically why I left the Libertarian party.

Man, lots of people jumping to conclusions here. It's possible that they're just attention starved so it's nice to feel like someone is prioritizing them. Women get SO many more compliments, comments, etc. than men on average and it can take a toll. An old lady called me handsome in the grocery store like 3 years ago and it still pops into my mind because it's so rare to get comments as a man.
