It is nice to get a genuine compliment from a man, but I have found that many men don't know the line between a comment that is a compliment and a comment that is threatening. If you see a girl walking down the street and you yell things like "hey baby" and grab your crotch, thats a threat. If you nicely let a girl know you think she's beautiful, that isa compliment, and I don't know any woman who wouldn't want that!

That's a tough one. Marriages are based on trust, but that doesn't mean that either spouse should sow the seeds of temptation for anything more than that. As far as a best friend goes, hopefully by the time you are married, your spouse is your best friend. Old friends from before the marriage are certainly going to be a mixed bag and I suppose that you don't just drop those friends. That would totally suck! Rather, I would hope that during the engagement, that everyone gets to know everyone else, and the old friends of the single person becomes new friends with the spouse, so everyone trusts everyone else. As far a spouse relying on their single opposite sex friend for advice or the "woman's point of view" or the "man's point of view" or coming to that person as a confidante about the marriage, NO WAY should this be allowed to happen, for several reasons. The friendship, even if it was a very close trusting friendship, needs to shift in priorities and the spouse gets that slot, even when (ESP when!) there is a spat between the spouses. For one, it doesn't matter what BFF thinks of your situation as the "woman's or man's perspective" on a marital situation and their is no sense trying to get your buddy to take sides with you. If you are in conflict with your husband, it doesn't matter what any other man thinks about it. It matters that your husband isn't happy (and same with wives if the hub is in the doghouse for something and his old best female friend doesn't see the problem.) Keep in mind that friendships all have a certain amount of intimacy, even if that doesn't mean there is an affair going on. While intimacy is important in every relationship (intimacy defined here by presence of honesty, vulnerability, and sense of permission to be yourself) if it supercedes the level of intimacy in the marriage...then it stands to overpower the marriage in a weak moment.

Girls don't have raging hormones in their early years. Women do. If a woman is heterosexual like me, of course she appreciates being noticed. It is a compliment to have another man appreciate you for a moment. A smile or nod is nice but gawking gets old real quick. I don't want a pat on the rear but a hug from a male friend when done right is okay. It depends on how he looks at you as to whether you feel comfortable and of course, what your intentions are.

That is a very general question with many specific implications. Off the cuff, yes. If I may paraphrase, females like attention from the opposite sex, especially compliments
and other agreeable communication.

I'm guessing you mean 'sexual attention' and no, not every woman wants sexual attention from a man, some women are lesbians and other women would much rather be left alone to make a move when they see fit instead of being chased.

I think just about anyone likes (positive), not overly friendly) attention not just women ,men too.It's a human nature thing. Except for hermits they just want to be left alone.

I think the first two answerers are on crack.
Don't you like attention from women? What do you like?
