to be really pissed off at my friend for saying "I'd do her"?

[CoolToned]

This is how he describes women.

To be fair, he's a geeky guy who is probably just compensating from years of being a geek. He's actually a specialist doctor (just finished) and a good person otherwise.

It just disgusts me. I called him on it before and he's back to doing it again.

Morris - I don't understand that actually. So in this case, there are three people?

[Nabootique]

I'm sure that's not the case Av, if you have like-minded people around you

[MorrisZapp]

What about I wouldn't climb over him to get to you?

[rogueantimatter]

YANBU IMO.

Why is he commenting on his opinion of women's attractiveness full stop?

I hadn't heard this phrase used in that way - it's horrible. He's either disrespectful or doesn't understand the effect on you/wider effect of what he's saying.

I think that's the best of all worlds Av! You've got it all going on!

Looking at the diagram, I'd say "dork" is an insult, but none of the others, really.

[CoolToned]

PrivatePike - it depends on what your definition of "dweeb" is. Personally I don't use that word.

For me, a geek is someone who has an intense passion about something, an obsessive enthusiasts, be it in technical or other fields. That's why there are "food geek", etc.

A nerd for me is more academic.

So a person can be both a geek and a nerd.

I don't think these terms are insults. Geeks and nerds are the ones who can potentially change the world.

Unpleasant, but I know plenty of geeks who get plenty of sex. In fact I am one, and doing fine, thanks.

This might help Av

To clarify, what I meant was, well, with celebrities, it's like a mirage.

[CoolToned]

PageStillNotFound404 - I guess because he doesn't say this about celebrities but people we interact with daily, it sounds kinda...well, sleazier.

[PageStillNotFound404]

I don't like that particular phrase personally but I have been known to say about X celebrity "I'd bang him like a barn door in a high wind" so I'm a hypocrite, I guess.

Like a PP said, if that's the only way he ever refers to women it's more problematic than if it's just his personal turn of phrase for "ooh, I think she's lovely" and he otherwise talks about women as if they were, you know, actual human beings.

[CoolToned]

MrsTodd - glad to know I am not the only one who feel this way about that phrase!

[CoolToned]

AverageGay - thank you for respecting my opinion. :)

[CoolToned]

Lorelai - He does other things to (I suspect) look "cool" eventhough most of the times it does not work. But this really annoys me. Maybe you're right, maybe I am disappointed at him.

And yes, it's most of the time in a "cold pizza is better than no pizza" way.
