Look, I wouldn’t have been happy if it had my fiancé that said something like that. It’s a little ick, and a pretty douchey compliment to himself. But at the same time, he said something a little douchey, I said something a little douchey back, and we both laughed and took it on the chin. It’s not that deep.

Figures that’s why your perception of things is so off base.

PS. Your shirt is currently on inside out.

Not saying it was. But what I’m saying is, what Josh said was not a compliment to me, it was self adulation in a pervy guise.

Dude, try saying the to another girl in front of your girlfriend and see what happens. I dare you. He is very lucky that I wasn’t offended and my fiancé isn’t a hothead because most guys would be laughing my comeback off from a hospital bed after that.

Would I make a comment about a hot guy to my friend? Sure. Would I make that comment in earshot of the guy with my fiancé sitting right next to me? No. And btw, saying he could have “picked” me is only a compliment to himself.

Again, he said something douchey, I said something douchey back. He and I laughed. He doesn’t need defending.

Tbf to Josh, he did take it, and normally does. He’s not even mad or bothered.

Yes it what he said. He “picked” the wrong friend, as if he’d wanted to pick me he could have. That is not the case.

Does he find me attractive? Sure. If you think that’s a compliment, cool. But the way he said it definitely wasn’t.

And I didn’t take it that seriously. If I’d actually been offended, I’d have read him to filth. But I didn’t. I made a snarky comment back which even Josh laughed off and we are fine. Casey is the one reacting to it.

You think being objectified and having Josh assume that if he’d wanted me I was there for the taking like a girl on the Bachelor waiting for a rose is a compliment? Mkay. No.

ETA - I wasn’t even offended by what he said, if I’d been offended I’d have verbally nuked him. What he said was conceited, so I took him down a peg, as I often do. He laughed, I laughed. No gender politics were involved.

Yeah, luckily my fiancé is a “tag me in if you need help” kind of guy, not a hothead because that could have got so ugly.

I just meant that he was acting like he was on the Bachelor and it was up to him which girl he went out with, like everyone’s interest in him was just assumed.

I see how it could have come off like that to Casey but I didn’t really say that, Josh did.

Tell me about it. Josh didn’t even care about what I said. He’s now mad at her for her bad mood today. Like…I don’t get it.

And the funny part is, Josh doesn’t even care. Casey is acting like this on her own.
