Every city kind of has its own way of measuring a person's character. In Lubbock, the highest compliments usually don't have anything to do with your status, money, or any kind of fancy title at all. Our compliments are more about trustworthiness, kindness, and being the kind of person others can actually count on.

A compliment from someone in Lubbock is almost always well-deserved. If someone has said any of these about you, chances are, you're a pretty swell guy.

1. "They're Good People."

This could be the highest compliment in West Texas. It's very simple, but it seems to say everything you need to know about someone.

2. "I Bet They'd Give You The Shirt Off Their Back."

If someone says this about you, you've got a reputation for helping others.

3. "They've Never Met A Stranger."

Some people have a way of welcoming a new person as if they've known them for a million years.

4. "You Can Always Count On Them."

This compliment is perfect for the people who help you move apartments at the last minute, feed your pets when you go out of town, and show up for you when things get hard.

5. "They Work Hard."

Hard work is always respected in West Texas. Always. You don't have to have a flashy job, just a reputation for showing up and trying your hardest.
