Talking to a former coworker who was a bit older, but always pretty friendly and cool in a refreshing way. He brings up the new young girl they just hired, and her “perky little tits and tight ass”. I guess it’s not crazy to say you find a girl attractive, but it just felt particularly creepy how he said it. I also just hate when I start becoming friends with a new person and I find out they’re a little pervy, and then they feel like they can start making pervy comments around me because now we’re bros.
Edit: wanted to add the inevitable “she hot?” that appears whenever any female ever comes up in discussion about anything. I can’t fucking stand that question.
Ever go complete dad-joke on them and respond with, "Couldn't tell ya, I didn't have a thermometer on me!"?
Really though, this is why I try to practice obfuscating gender when talking about others, as it makes stuff like that come up less often. A hidden perk of using they/them more.
Holy crap, dad-joking a response is brilliant. I am going to try that!
I also leave out gender, but because of my innate laziness. I just don't have to change my speech pattern based on the subjects gender. Everyone is they/them it's just easier
gross, regardless of age
