Why do we girls fish for compliments? B/f John says they do it all the time. What did you think of the meal?" For example.

To keep a women happy you regulary (daily in my experience) have to give her compliments,
compliments,
compliments,
compliments
and new pair of shoes to break it up a little.
So the answer to your question would be Yes!

It depends what they are asking ,
The example you posted ,
Is something i ask every time I cook and have a gathering~!
It,s not for a compliment, it,s just being polite.
Now if someone goes around asking,
do you think im pretty ~ do you like my hair ~ do i smell good <>>??
That is a girl/women with low self esteem ~!
And needs to reassure herself ~!
By others opinions.
~*~*~*~Peace.

for the girls that do do that then maybe the boyfriend needs to make her feel special sometimes,or needs to say thanks hon that dinner was very good tonight.Men that think girls only fish for compliments are morons and will never have a successful relationship because they dont know how to treat a girl

Not so. Men are more likely to fish for compliments because they are forever in need to have their egos boosted. Women do so more because it's expected and if it's not provided they will "fish" for it.
However, who does it and how often is not easy to ascertain as its' one of the areas that doesn't appear to have been surveyed.

Nobody is above liking flattery.
For most women it is all about looks. So frequent comments are important. If they are not forthcoming then the female can sometimes help it along with a question.
Men don't tend to think so much about their looks (Well, most men).

I'm so guilty of doing that. Always fishing for comp's. Makes me feel more confident and shows he appreciates me

wanting to please and make other half happy is not the same as fishing for compliments.
