Used mostly for a daughter?  :-\
Diifers from Девочка моя?


Expression "лапочка дочка" (lapochka daughter) comes from this cartoon



But also лапочка used as affectionate name/nickname towards man/woman (Often used as name for pets too)

How you look complements are overrated. Don't you prefer ones that are about good parts of your personality, or something you did that was very nice. I know i do.

What I do not like is that women keep asking me something like "Do you find me attractive?"  when they did not mention nothing about me.  These women only love herself.   

Huh?! Are you joking or being serious?!

It's usually said the other way around.  :)

one thing I notice too while I was in russia. They pet names like crazy. zaya, zaika kotenok etc. along with putting echka enka ka at the end of a name

example:

girls name is Yulya

they'll call  her

yul
yulka
yulechka
yulenka
and then of course Juila

Is it common though? Never once did I hear someone say it that way, always "spacibo bolshoe"

There is nothing wrong with giving compliments whether there are from men to women or women to men, regardless on looks, hair, what they are wearing, new clothes.  It is very healthy!

What I do not like is that women keep asking me something like "Do you find me attractive?"  when they did not mention nothing about me.  These women only love herself.   

These sort of women - I will eliminate

I also eliminate these women who keep on saying something like  "I am fat"  "I am ugly" etc

IMO the majority of FSUW have a pretty deep streak of insecurity and inferiority which they attempt to mask with that cold FSU image, bluster and feigned indifference when dealing with westerners. Their asking of the partner/spouse these incessant questions, speculating about cosmetics, shopping traits and curiosity about cosmetic surgery shows the cracks in their psyche. It gets old and I suggest you sharpen your criteria a bit to include weeding out these whiney, insecure types or they'll drive you crazy with this sort of talk.

In Ukraine I don't recall ever hearing it with the bolshoi stated first. Maybe a regional thing?

I have heard it translated as "big thanks" and wondered why this happens sometimes. As usual I think you just have to write this off as a coping or transitional affectation.

As a man talking to a woman, no.
Women put a lot more effort into their appearance, especially in a formal setting.
Guys get the same penguin suit.  :D

Probably!

It's what happens when people begin making personal attacks without addressing the substance of the topic.......

No worry, I forget to type words like "a" "the" and a few others sometimes.
p.s. Russia always has a big R.  ;)

Personal attack?
I see it as she did not agree with that statement.
Nothing personal.
Or is this an ongoing conflict?
