A married female friend of mine who is a big joker recently gave a married male friend of ours a compliment. He was photographed with 2 famous men and the girl said “Very cute!!! The guys on either side aren’t half bad either!!

The guy has since been pm-ing me asking me what her deal is and why she is coming onto him.

WHY can’t a girl give a simple compliment without it being taken the wrong way??????

That means he is coming on to her and he's probing you for a lead

Guys can. That's his game. Never believe that only girls play games...guys play them just as much, if not worse.

Because most of us guys think just because a woman says "Hi" she wants us. Don't ask why,it's just the way it is.

Haha you’re not wrong! It’s tough being a girl. You’re nice to a guy, he tries to kiss you, you push him away and suddenly you’re a tease who’s been giving off signals. What the?!

Both men toward women and visa-versa often think a compliment is a come-on to know them better and MORE........that "MORE" happened to me years ago! I said to a lady in a nightclub "you sure look nice in those Wrangler jeans!" She smiled, said "thank you" and I smiled and went back to my beer. Next thing I know she comes over to me and ask me to dance. I wound up at her place that night and we started seeing each other.....relationship didn't work out though. Anyway, a simple compliment can mean a nice gesture to the person giving it, but to the person getting it: no big deal, embarrassment or "this could become very, very interesting!"
The first time I met my wife at a local restaurant (thru a personal ad that I placed), I complimented her on the way she looked and we wound up married!

Tell me about it. I give men compliments and they think I'm being weird? D'oh! I'm keeping the compliments to myself next time. :P Nah. If you're handsome, then you're handsome. End of story. No need to make everything hard by questioning my compliments.

I'll throw it to the other side. Maybe it's this way because most women act like they won't give us the time of day, which is, partly justified by the fact some of us are jerks who are a waste of their time. So we get used to that and see any sign of friendliness as 'letting up the guard.'
