I am 42, married for 15 years, together with my wife for >23 years. And this is the first time I realize that my wife doesn’t really mean the clothing but is fishing for a compliment. It never occurred to me, and it seriously blows my mind.

Lol took me until my 30’s. This is the problem with modern masculinity, we are not taught about social norms. So those of us who have trouble with them struggle. In any case, I hope you and your wife are better for the realization!
