Womanspeak is a female-to-male dictionary, aimed at enlightening the male population on what a woman means when she says…

‘How do I look’
First off I should warn you that by the time a woman has asked you how she looks, you’re already on dodgy ground for not telling her she looks great without her needing to ask.
When a woman spends more than 15 minutes getting ready to go out with you, it means she’s making the effort to look good for you. If you then don’t even mention that she looks nice, to her that means you haven’t noticed and don’t appreciate all the effort she’s gone to – so as a rule you should just get into the habit of telling her she looks lovely the instant you see her.
If, however, you’ve got to the stage that she’s had to ask, “fine” is most definitely NOT an acceptable answer.
‘Fine’ to a woman is tantamount to a grunt. It means you don’t really care and can’t be bothered to say anything nice.
Not only has she had to prod you for a compliment but even then you have nothing to say. You will most definitely be in the dog-house!
