I don't mean to be funny or sexist in any way , I was watching the television the other night with my son and my husband , we were watching Coronation street and I just remarked on what a lovely looking girl the new barmaid was , she is immaculate and very pretty . hubby and son both laughed at me as if it were only men who should notice these things ,Whats wrong with saying this , ? do men never comment on another man being nice looking or is that " not cool "

it often happened to em aswell.. where eevr i see good attractive lady i do remarked her... and my hubby said your this behaviour shows your lesbian characterstics..and i always annoyed at him because my comment 're neevr nasty... these are like what a pretty face or wow what a figure or what a lovely dress or something like that... but i think nobody understand us... it is better not show your emotions infront of others... simple.

I see nothing wrong with saying another women is attractive. If a women is wearing something I like, I'll tell who I'm with that I like them, no big.

Weemam of course it is ok, commenting on that as a Woman, you know what Men are like, lol. There is nothing wrong with commenting about another Woman on her Looks as a Woman. In our Case it is just a harmless remark. So tell the 2 Men to shush lol.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with this at all. I have done the same thing, and believe me it has nothing at all to do with sexuality or desire. There is nothing wrong with appreciating the physical appearance and presentation of a male or female. As females, I think that we tend to be more open and forthright with our feelings and emotions, and expressing a thought is no big deal to us. For a man, it would probably be "not cool" to say that another man is good looking. He would be so worried about being labelled as "gay". Another of the many differences between the genders!

let's face it women checks up on women as much as men do. its in our genes. who else would talk about how nice our shoes were? we usaually exchange ideas like where we had our hair done. my mom and i usually talks about a lot of tv personalities and how we want to have their looks!

Maybe your son and hubby were just thrilled that you can also appreciate other women's beauty. I don't think they are implying anything nasty with their reactions, it was just you making those thoughts. If I were you, I would have asked them why they laughed about your remarks so that I could explain to them why I think other women are attractive. Personally, I admire other women's qualities simply because I don't have them. Meaning, when I say J Lo is super sexy... it simply means I am envious of her body and I don't have the shape she's blessed with.

Not at all, but with men, it's the macho thing not to comment on another man's looks, you are considered 'gay' but with women its different. Look at the way no one looks twice when two women hug and kiss in the street? But when men hug and kiss in the street it's considered abnormal, disgusting and wrong. However I make no bones about admiring some actors like Brad Pitt being very handsome and Leonardo Di Caprio I find is a very sexy and attractive man, so I see no wrong in your argument but from a man's point a view it's a big no no! Oh and did you mean Violet the barmaid in Corrie or the other than is dating the bi guy that Steve fancies, the one with black hair used to be a singer, can't remember her name. Violet is the prettiest!

Some men! You know more about what is attractive than men or your son and husband would. There is nothing wrong with what you said, or what you thought. Because they laughed and made you feel low...I would protest and not cook dinner for them for a week. MEN\MALES can be so exasperating sometimes! And yet they can be so sweet. MEN!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!

Don't get bothered my friend i work w/ service oriented people like you mention. I am a Bar Manager for passenger cruise ship and i have lot's of crew.. "women".i simply noticed some of them they look really georgeous..I used to make some comment in front of my other crew (male)if she's pretty,nice legs,nice smile...and i mean it ..what's wrong i am frank and that 's also a sort of motivation to them..What i think men also do the same but,they dont say it vocally..you have to believe me....

I always comment if I see an attractive or beautiful woman. I mean I do it every morning when I look in the mirror... LOL... But seriously... There is nothing wrong with it... I do believe it is harder for a man to say that man looks good... Because most people would automatically assume he's a homosexual

I think there's nothing wrong with finding other women attractive. It is but natural for humans to recognize anything that is beautiful or nice. I guess men are just not so verbal about their feelings.

No, that is not unusual at all. If someone strikes you as being a pretty person, why is it such a bad thing to say so? I don't think it is a bad thing for men or women to "check the competition out". I think it is natural and I find myself doing it every once in a while. Not out of atraction, but curiosity. Kind of like *Woah! Look at her legs! I want legs like those!* Everyone does it, guys and girls! Just because you think someone is attractive, it doesn't mean you want to get into their pants!

I do this as well and my bf actually is secure enough in himself to make comments about other guys as well. We do laugh alot together and I do belive that it has to do with if u are secure in your sexuality or not =)

I find beauty in other women all the time. I think women in general are beautiful. and i don't mind pointing that out. i can't speak for all men, but i know the ones that i know don't for the most part say other men are good looking. it's gay to them. i think if you can find beauty in another person man or woman, that says something about you as a person. your strong and secure!

Personally i dont find any harm in anyone admiring beauty or virtues which one doesnt have himself. Anyway, it all depends on the perceptions of people around. If your daughter is beautiful, would you say so to answer a query during a marriage proposal?

Women are supposed to outwit, outplay and outlast other women. Why? I don't know. I guess it's just part of our system. I, myself, am amazed whenever I am able to appreciate other women. Just like before, I saw a girl that I really thought was gorgeous. Usually, when I see a beautiful face, I would tell myself that she is not so pretty, or there is something wrong with her face, in short, I would usually feel envious. So when it came to the time that I admired a women, and did not feel envious at all, well, it's sort of a miracle for my part.

I think it shows a lot of class if a woman can compliment another woman. I do not think it is wrong at all. I have complimented women about how nice they look or how pretty an outfit is they are wearing. I show nothing wrong with it at all. I agree some women do not know how to take compliments but I do not think nothing wis strange or weird if a woman compliments another women.
