Ok, ok. Let me suggest this. I'll qualify it by saying like all the rest of the guys here, I told my XW how beautiful she looked all the time too and the effect was less than satisfactory usually.
But given that, I think it is similar to saying ILY a lot. Too much frequency seems to dull the effect. Not to mention, occasionally, it can be taken as guy talk for "let's have sex". I am NOT saying anyone said nice things about appearance too often or with no feeling or with ulterior motives. I AM saying that it can be perceived that way. It is nearly a "love language" thing. Saying it is nice, showing it's how you feel is better. And, of course, the best way to show it depends on the person and what they like.
Just speculating...
Note to self: No complimenting Lisa on her appearance. Geeze, you are a difficult woman
Flaneur, you going to post on your thread and tell us what's going on with you any time soon?
