I'm 66 and very active in my son's high school. As such I get to interact with many of the mom's.

They love a little attention as do I. Nothing sexual although there is always that undercurrent.

My wife of 30 years takes this old war horse for granted and I have found that the girls have husbands that have forgotten to compliment them.

Being a Southern boy, my mom always taught me, under pain of a spanking, to notice and compliment on a new hair doo, piece of jewelry or if they really got dressed for no reason but to present a pleasing image. At first a lot of the girls (all about 20 years younger thought this was a bit quant but now they love the attention. Oh, I also like the attention back, especially the sparkling eyes and smiles. Oh to be 20 years younger and single. Life is good.

My Dad was a liquor salesman, and when we were young and out of school, he'd sometimes drag my brother and me on his stops at the various, bars, restaurants and liquor stores.

He was doing this for many years and knew all the people by their first name on his stops.

He would always compliment the ladies on their new hair do, sometimes when they looked atrocious.

I'm not kidding, you'd have someone like this gal, and he'd say, "Helen, what a gorgeous new hair do." and she'd just beam...

We'd walk to the car, and I'd say, "Dad, that ladies hair looks like crap." and he'd say, "Yeah, I know, but she doesn't think so."
