No, that is not what I am saying.
I am saying that if the girl gets wierded out by a compliment from a friend, then she's really not much of a friend.
I have numerous women friends, and I have no problem in telling them that they are good looking or dress nice, or complimenting them on any other variety of attributes. Never has one gotten wierd on me. But I present it as a more objective opinion, and they respect that.
make any sense?
