When guys comments on an outfit choice, are they serious or are they only saying that to make us feel good about ourselves? Also with commenting on body parts, do you mean it, or just saying it ? I really want good answers about what you think.

It all depends on the situation and the mood shes in . If she is in a bad mood ill tell her a paper bag looks good on her . About the body parts if they look good a guy will normally tell you if not he isn't going to say a thing

That is a VERY good question. Let's look at my situation with my wife. I am 34 and was dating her at 16. We have been together over half of our lives, and I still find it hard to be honest with her about outfits, hair, whatever. The only reason is that I don't want to hurt her feelings if I don't like something. I do you realize that can be just as bad as being overly negative.
BUT, my wife can tell if I really like something or not. Also, she has friends whose husbands / boyfriends will say things like "you're getting fat" , etc. I find that to be apalling. There is nothing worse you can say to a woman than "you are fat" or "you are ugly".
When I talk about her body parts, I am serious. If I think her chest or butt look good in something, I say it. If I don't, I won't say anything. I know it sounds wimpy that I am not 100% honest about some things, but I think spouses should be supportive in everything.
Hope this helps.

I can't give a general answer to your question - all guys are different. Personally, I tell my wife when I think she looks well turned out - I also tell her when I think that something she is wearing doesn't enhance her appearance. About body parts I don't make a comment unless she asks for it - if my answer would be less than complimentary I try to be gentle. However, I also tell her that if I was not honest with her about my answers she couldn't count on my opinion. She doesn't want a "yes" man in her life.

Firstly with the outfit choice, guys don't really give a s*** half of the time because they don't really care what you wear as long as you HURRY UP! (I'm being 100% serious!)
But for body parts, we definately mean it, especially for the, well you know...because that's what we love, :D

I am up front with my gf...and I go with her shopping on occassion and give my opinion what I think looks good on her and what doesn't appeal to me...I am accepting of my partners body shape...don't care to see it change, now if they want advice how to change I know enough about diet and excercise to offer my opinion . My gf , as many women, see what surgical enhancement can do instantly, and my gf being in the business has mentioned a few times about considering this or that...I give my honest opinion, she doesn't need it...more doesn't always equal better.

straight men do not understand "outfit choice." thats why our wives and girlfriends dress us. if a guy really likes your choice, he is gay.
when we comment on outfit choice, it means we like what the outfit shows, like cleavage.
yes, we mean what we say about body parts.

If you ask us how the outfit looks and we say "It looks fine" that means we really don't care what you are wearing.
If you ask us if your hips look big and we say "No Dear" then it is time to get on a tread mill.
Only an idiot would respond truthfully to either of these questions.

Guys will only tell you what YOU want to hear. Whether they think they are being genuine or not. 99% of guys want to seem as though they are sweet, smart etc. So if you had a poop fetish, a guy would ask you to take a dump on his chest. Catch my drift? lol. Sorry I know that is gross.

It depends how well you take criticism.
If you can take a honest opinion without taking it personally and sulking or arguing, then you will get one.
If you constantly pester for opinions, or react badly to them, the male is going to tell you what you have indicated you want to hear through your actions.
