36. So praising a woman for her good looks is

 

Since when? Where did you get that from? I've seen a lot of crazy accusations on DU, but this one takes the cake. It's an entirely subjective and over-the-top, exaggerated judgment that you give, yet you present it as a fact. You're chastising somebody for giving out a compliment.

I know lots of women whom I think are 'hot'. How am I devaluing them by saying they're hot? You don't know me and you don't know the poster. You don't have even a hint of a snippet of a clue as to how him and me think about women. Yet you see one post talking about a woman's physical beauty and you jump all over it, acting all condescending and judge mental. Immediately, you're ready to portray the woman in question as a supposed victim (she's 'objectified') of a supposedly 'creepy and shallow' man.

Your post reads like you hold something against good-looking, young women. Why else the need to be so harsh on things like beauty and young age? The way you describe them, those attributes sound like sins.

Of course women never talk about guys that way! Noooo! I've never heard a girl say she thought a guy was hot or handsome or had a nice ass. Women don't ever objectify men. That's why there are no gigolo's or chippendales; and every woman appreciates George Clooney only for his acting skills.

The funny thing is: when we, men, hear a woman thinks we're hot, we're glad, we're happy. Because that's a compliment. Not an evil agenda to degrade and objectify us. And you know what? I think that goes for most women, too. I don't believe for a second you speak for most women.

Until you master the skill of mind-reading, I suggest you refrain from making insulting judgments about others, especially when they're triggered by something as benign and harmless as the OP's post.
