"I'd hit that." ?????

I see it written more and more and hear it outright. I think it is a blatant form of disrespect towards women.... (and men)

And really, all you men out there saying that...... Do you think all these women you say that about would actually let you?

Would you appreciate someone saying that about your sister, your daughter, or hell, your mother?

Just a thought for the morning.

Edit to have this towards both genders.

Um, I'm a woman. Me and my female friends will occasionally whip out "I'd hit that" or "I'd tap that" if we see a likely looking male specimen.

Thinking someone would make an attractive sexual partner is not a form of disrespect, unless you're saying this not in private conversation with a friend but publicly in such a way that it brings embarrassment to the object of your attraction.

Sorry, as a women, I say "I'd hit that" all the time when referring to attractive men.

I must have a different thought process about the case. I don't look at a man and say to anyone that I would have sex with him.

I know it is joking around, but it would infer that wow, I would have sex with a complete stranger.

I actually do think it is disrespectful, to the person you are saying it to or about. Shoot! I guess I would go as far as to say that it is disrespectful towards ones self.

We are men. Along with that comes strength, honor, integrity, fulfillment, protection, hunger, survival. We are men and we have been saying that for as long as forever. Imagine what we are thinking...

I see your desire to understand. But becareful not to come across as a man hater wanting to analyze our every desire and words.

And to answer your question- walk away from men. There is nothing about them you care to know about. The more you find out, the more you will hate us. So just walk away peacefully and carry on..

I'm going to chalk this one up to a different moral standard.

No offense...

That term has not been around since forever.

I am not a man hater, never have been. Should I change it to people? Maybe I will.

I think maybe you need to lighten up. When I say something like that, I'm joking. I'm not going to have sex with a complete stranger, and I don't think a reasonable person who didn't know me would infer that either. It's a form of hyperbole - and exaggerated way of saying someone is attractive. Perhaps its a bit crude, but my crowd is pretty damn crude.

I guess it's a simple way of verbalizing what the brain is thinking..Men and woman both do it verbally and non-verbally.
Maybe something like, emm, I'd enjoy getting to know that person better is more appropriate for some people.
A bit more PC..
When talking about the most basic of human instincts though, to each there own. And saying I'd do that is hardly degrading, more like a compliment..

I'm a grown a%^ man. If a gorgeous girl walks past me, the stuff I imagine is a lot more "unpure" than the words I'd hit that convey.

I also have no problem with men saying that they find my mother sexually attractive, now what they do with that could cause problems, but if you are trying to be attractive to someone that is what is supposed to happen.

This is a case of simple biology.
