IME it is not rare, but that does not matter, the point is that it should not be tolerated. The talk nor the overt acts. > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > It’s bad out there. Yeah, there are all kinds of creeps, drunks, and psychos out there. ---

> [@mnemosyne](#): > > that the term may be referring to that type of locker room, of young, immature, and inappropriate people, or also to sports teams or groups that are very comfortable with one another and feel free to say or do offensive things. It probably wasn’t coined based on your local Gym catering to middle aged men Yeah, it is a justification of persistent emotional immaturity. Call it “locker room talk” and pretend as if _nobody_ really ever grows out of it. ---

Since I was young ( 11) I’ve gotten comments on my body ( nice butt usually) which, up until my 30’s was way underweight so I couldn’t understand it. Still get them. I dont think its rude. I feel like its when I tell a woman, “I like your hair.” No ones touched me, they would be swatted away before they realized. ---

No self respecting man with any home training would holler that out to a stranger. It smacks a bit of allowing and emboldening the behavior of those men. Who then apply it to more women. I would be very upset if a strange man said that outloud to one of my daughters. ---

I dont think its rude. I feel like its when I tell a woman, “I like your hair.” According to conventional standards of social manners, though, yes it is generally considdred rude and overfamiliar to make unsolicited comments on the physical appearance of strangers, whether the comments are critical or complimentary. That goes both for strange men complimenting your butt and your complimenting strange women’s hair. (Although the personal intrusiveness of the butt remarks is obviously higher than that of the hair remarks, since body parts like butts are usually discussed only among intimates.) Mind you, nobody’s saying that you personally aren’t allowed to be okay with exchanging such personal remarks with strangers. And if you and the strangers are both okay with it, then it’s nobody else’s business. When in doubt, though, it’s probably safest to stick with the general rule against offering any opinions on any details of a stranger’s appearance. ---

Agreed. No, I don’t reply to comments. ---

That would be good, but a nice powerful cattle prod would be better. Just sayin’ ---

Wouldn’t that damage the user’s own hearing as well, on top of giving away one’s location to accomplices? ---

That’s true that it would be bad for everyone’s hearing. I definitely see your point. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-m-going-to-pit-this-man-who-assaulted-the-mexican-president-and-all-men-like-him/1024631.md?page=4)
