How do you like this dress/these pants/this whatever” would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them.

I am 42 years old, married for 15 years, together with my wife for >23 years. And this is the first time I realize that she doesn't really mean the clothing but is fishing for a compliment. It never occurred to me, and it seriously is blowing my mind.

Edit: rotfl, all the occasions she asked me this kind of question suddenly make sense. Damn, I think I have to apologize.

Lol took me until my 30's. This is the problem with modern masculinity, we are not taught about social norms. So those of us who have trouble with them struggle. In any case, I hope you and your wife are better for the realization!
