that are intresting points of view my dear. I think it is not very simple to compliment a woman. 'What does that man want from me ? Is that the first step to "take" me or what ?' The same with real friendship with a woman. Sometimes not easy. I think we should learn to give compliments; better and more. On condition they are sincere. But it belongs of the culture. Let me take the example of the 'blue eye' in the Turkish culture. 'You tell me that or that is beautiful or good. So you want to have it or what ?'

That is why those international web stuff (like Yahoo) give us the opportunities to comunicate with the whole world. So why not get the benefits of it. And start some discussions about some items ? I try that in my group Woman and Art. But... without success. What a pity.
