Oh no! You're shattering my little world! :p

Seriously, I do see this happening, but men are also capable of becoming smitten. And women have pretty good radars. We can tell the difference between men who just want sex and men who are genuinely attracted to us ... most of the time.

And, well, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. A man can have a genuine admiration for a woman and tell her so, without necessarily wanting to get into her pants (?)

There was a man fixing water damage to my home who had a gorgeous head of hair. A beautiful strawberry blond color, thick, shiny, wavy, just gorgeous. So I complimented him. He was embarrassed. Maybe he thought I was coming on to him (I wasn't) but he clearly gave the impression he did not appreciate the compliment.
