I work with a bunch of dudely dudes. Quite often, an attractive woman will come in and they’ll point her out, usually saying something like “look at those tits” and “check out the girl in the blue.” I’m totally dumbfounded by what I’m supposed to say back. “Yeah, I, too, love boobs.” “She smells like the inside of my mama’s purse.” Does a simple grunt of approval suffice? Help! edit: I’m a straight male, myself. ---

It’s best to motion towards her and grab your crotch, making loud grunting noises. ---

You’re not suppose to say anything, you’re supposed to check out the hot chick. ---

It’s in the delivery. “Wow, that woman is stunning!” comes across a lot less crass than “Check out the hot chick!” even though you may be thinking the same thing. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-what-am-i-supposed-to-say-when-a-fellow-says-check-out-the-hot-chick/575278.md?page=2)
