I guess the question I have is what about a person who is not physically beautiful? should one be ashamed to be with them? I just dont' think your admiration of someone should be based solely on looks.
Define Physically Beautiful.. Are we basing beauty on your opionions? What about the medias opionion? How about we put two people side by side and ask them if they think that this person is beautiful and why? I find many people beautiful simply because they have kind eyes, or amazing curves, I have even found beauty in the curve of someones neck.. I think the problem here is " What and who defines Beauty" ? I have many people that I find stunningly beautiful that feel that they are hideous... I really dont know what else to say to this.. Only that I hope everyone can find something beautiful about themselves Inside and Out...

I don't think you can unwire nature. Our first impression about someone is usually looks. Passing someone in the store, on the street, at church, etc, if they are attractive you notice.
I have a thing about eyes, I am drawn to them, I can't help it. It doesn't matter if the women is 20 or 70, if they have pretty eyes, and the situation is right I will compliment them. It is not about sex or lust or anything weird. Its like when I see a cool car or motorcycle, there are certain colors and line that I am drawn to.
One more thing about the Lowes story. The way it sounds to me was the guy was drawn to you and when a chance to make a comment was available he did. That is not stalking or creepy.
Hickerchick, where do you propose a guy can start a converstation with a women? Why is bad to be in a store? I met my wife at K-Mart. (She is my blue light special, LOL, she hates it when I say that, she thinks it sounds like I got her at a discount).
I guess I'm confused (typical). We seem to be suggesting that complimenting women on their looks is exclusive of appreciating anything else about them. My husband loves the way I look, but he also values my mind and abilities. The fact that he voices appreciation of one thing doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate the others, or won't comment on them at some other time. I am not sure how we got to the assumption that an attractive person can't be anything else.
Certainly, some people can be tasteless about compliments and some probably do think that way. But I'm not convinced that most people do. By the way, I also work in a male-dominated profession (civil engineering), so maybe I have a different perspective. My co-workers all think their wives are hotties.

There is nothing wrong with striking up a conversation at Lowes. But "you're pretty. Are you married" is not what I call a conversation. Does the guy walk up to every pretty girl he sees and ask her if she is married? It seems like a conversation should have a little more substance to it and be based on some kind of commonality. That's all. It didn't sound like that was mutual at all. Just some weird guy trying to pick up a chick.
