Thread Starter 
You're looking lovely today? beautiful? you look nice? How do you put it across without raising an eyebrow especially if her husband is around? I was once in this situation and just decided not to say anything coz I didn't know what would be right or wrong. I knew the girl for atleast a good 10 years before her marriage but I still wasn't sure.

Have you guys been in this situation before? If yes, advise

Tell her she looks hot, the husband must be around when you say it too. My experience is that complimenting a married woman in such a direct way as you stated is just asking for trouble. Since she got married she should have basically turned into a guy in your mind. I wouldnt throw a compliment any more strong than you are comfortable telling a guy.

"You look well," or "you look especially well today, " are hard to go wrong with. ~Huntsman

You've known her 10 years and have trouble giving her a compliment? What - has she worn a potato sack all this time? After that long you should be able to say pretty well anything to her, husband be damned. But for God's sake don't tell her she's hot or beautiful - it's a bit late for you to be telling her that. Pick an adjective that hits the mark without conveying attraction - professional, sharp, outfit's well-put-together. "Works on her". I did use "jaw-droppingly gorgeous" once but it was in reference to a friend's ensemble, which was, IMHO, smashing.

"You look wonderful, like the person you are; it is so great to see you happy"

I don't understand the concept of non romantic girlfriends. There is my wife, there are the women I would love to bang and then everyone else. I don't have any friends that are girls nor do I really want to.

You've never been friends with chicks that you weren't attracted to at all? There are so women that are fine for friends, but I look at them and there is no way I would stick my dick in them. Other women on the other hand I want to do some very unsanitary things with, but I would never be friends with them.

Not on any long term basis. I work with women and I consider them work friends and in school I also had female "friends" but if it went on/goes on for an extended period of time, it would only be because I want to shag them rotten, not because I want to hear what they think of the Iraq war.

How about hearing their opinion on the Irak war when shagging them rotten?

It's normally more of a moral support basis than a serious debate basis. I don't to talk to them about current or "˜enlightening' topics.

1. Agree with Ed. There is really no need to be friends with women. I have one or two but I have known them since I was an infant. 2. Just say you look great. I will say that to my friends wives or girlfriends... even the ones I would like to pile.

Compliment the clothes and not the girl. "That shirt is awesome!" or, "Those pants fit you well"

I love to hang out with Women. Hanging out with only guys always seemed kind of gay to me. Women are the greatest.

wannabelean....is that "lean" as in thin or Terry?

To the OP, as a rule of thumb, make it a practice to never say to a married woman anything that would urge you to physical violence if someone said it to your wife. If you do not have a wife, or are not interested in the breast bearing sex, either pretend you have a wife or substitute your Sig O in.

It's always safest to compliment some specific aspect of a woman's clothing, but if you've known her ten years and aren't interested in shagging her, just say "You look especially nice today". I have a few female friends I would say this too, but I'm also on good terms with the husbands (i.e. both husband and wife have been my friends for years). If in doubt, tread carefully.
