-_- Anyone who supports draconian behavioral restrictions needs to lighten up.

but that's how me and my girlfriend met!

It is a complement to a guys way of thinking.He thought she was sexy.Of course,he could have said it a little quieter.

A lot of us other girls don't think a lewd comment is the same as a compliment. That doesn't make us all whiny brats who will have a fit when we DO get a proper compliment, though. We just want to be treated with some respect. That shouldn't be too much for ANYONE to ask, regardless of gender. Anyway, friends joking around is completely different than random strangers being pigs, especially if someone is sensitive about that sort of thing. For all OP knows, she could have had some sort of sexual trauma in her past that made her super-sensitive to a crude comment like that...

Although I don't think the girl should have punched him i agree with why she was offended. It's the same thing as when I go running and random guys whistle at me. It makes me feel uncomfortable and when it happens I quickly run home whether I'm done with my workout or not. A random guy saying that hed **** you is not a compliment and I agree with the comment above. For all you know she could have been stalked, raped, or worse and her hearing him say he would hit that might have scared her. I have a friend that burst into tears because a guy said something very similar and I found out later that it was because she was raped at a younger age.

Who decides what's lewd and what isn't? It's all perception. I agree about the previous trauma but we can't all walk around on egg shells because what MIGHT have happened to someone else, life isn't fair.

I think when friends make "lewd comments" it shows a lack of respect, but that may be just me. Certain comments are just universally inappropriate, such as the one OP said. I don't think he deserved to be punched over it, but I definitely don't condone what he said (or the girls response to his comment). If the first thing someone said to me was "I'd hit that" (whether it was about me or referring to someone else), I'd automatically think less of the commenter because they can't control their impulses to say something like that out loud and because it's just not a very high class thing to say.

I just think it's funny that it's mainly girls who are criticizing the girl in this FML and calling her "unappreciative" and a "dumb bitch that can't take a compliment".... Clearly, the girls who are commenting and criticizing her were either never hit on like this girl was or can only get sleazy guys who say stuff like OP said.
