I think that its fine to give compliments to friends who are the opposite sex on FB. I do it all of the time...even to guys that are married. Things like "aww, handsome" or "nice!" or other comments that may border on flirty but are not overtly sexual.
I guess really don't take FB that seriously. If someone made a flirty comment on my man's FB I really wouldn't give much energy to it. And I wouldn't care if he made similar comments on another woman's either.
I suppose your husband does this to all his female friends and you have no problem with it whatsoever.
No, I live in a special world where people don't feel threatened and get bent out of shape over every stupid thing like an insecure teenage drama queen.
I also give props where they are due. Complimenting my friends when they have worked hard to look good or whatever they try to accomplish is not "disrespectful" to anyone.
"Wow! She looks spectacular in that dress!".
"My god...in that tux, he is stunning!"
"She is rocking that bikini! You go, girl!"
"Sexy abs! That Crossfit really paid off!"
"Finishing your dissertation on the failure of string theory while raising 2 children and working full time?! You amaze me!!!"
As I said, intent is all that matters. The intent behind your examples is obvious, completely different from the intent in post #2, and hardly worth calling me a drama queen out of nowhere.
No, you can't say they look sexy. It's not appropriate to say a platonic, opposite-sex friend looks sexy if you are in a relationship.
It's a matter of respect for your partner and your friend.
This is the post I am addressing.
In my experience, this type of black and white zero tolerance statements usually don't come from a place of serenity ans security.
