a man says "you're really good looking?" AND... you're a woman? I'm sorta confused by that - lol You don't hear people say a woman is good looking so often.

Any takes on that?

Are you objecting to the terminology? I agree "pretty" or "gorgeous" or "beautiful" might be better but maybe he's shy! Just accept the compliment - they are few and far between. I sure wouldn't lose any sleep over it!

I'm not objecting to the terminology, nor losing any sleep over it. I'm just curious to know what others "take" on it is. As I said, its not an expression you hear often & hey, I'm a very analytical person... I like to pick things apart

I think you're trying to analize it too much. I think he meant that you look good.

He thinks you are very attractive I think a lot of guys might use this terminology when they are unsure of what will offend a woman or not. So, he was being polite and old fashioned- that is my take on it anyway

Maybe it's a regional thing, because in the midwest, at least where I live and grew up "good looking" is commonly used for both genders, and it means the same - attractive.

Yeah - I wouldn't think twice about it, it seems like a straightforward compliment to me. It does get used commonly by people I know, too, so it doesn't strike me as odd.

He's attracted to you.

I have to agree, I think it was a compliment. Be happy for it!

He means you're a "looker". I've heard that term used before, it may be a bit out of date, but it seems more polite then "You're HOT!" At least to me it does...

I think the context and the delivery will tell you much more about what it meant than what was actually said.

If it was said politely by a collegue or said in a flirty tone by a guy hitting on you at a bar determines alot.

Thanks for the responses all - and for helping me to "understand" (not rocket science, I know!).
