57. It's one of the differences between "male" culture and "female"
culture as it has evolved, at least in the US. Women can tell each other that they look beautiful/gorgeous, etc., can help each other try on clothes, and things like that without necessarily being attracted to each other. Men are culturally discouraged from looking "gay", which is why most men don't tell each other they look gorgeous and why a pat on the back is more acceptable than hugging. IMO that's terrible, but it's the whole homophobic attitude of our society.
