What designer is it? I would definitely like to get one for James.' James, by the way, was her husband. So it is easy to understand how my ego quadrupled with that compliment, because indirectly speaking, she wanted her man to smell like me. Another time, at least six women on different occasions and in different locations commented how much they liked a distinctive new pair of black suede shoes with white soles I was wearing.

Women's compliments to men are usually targeted and more specific than those paid by men to women. In most cases, a woman either likes what she sees or she doesn't. If she doesn't, but secretly admires the man, she will try her best to effect a change, usually through a polite and constructive criticism such as, 'A shorter haircut seems to suit you better'.

However, if she has no iota of attraction for the man whatsoever, she wouldn't care if he showed up at the door looking hairier than Captain Caveman in the classic cartoon series.
