Agreed ?

Should we normalize using the more direct language?

Whenever a girl tells me she has a boyfriend after I ask them out, I tell them “he’s a lucky guy”

100%

Depends on context I guess, I have always seen this phrased used in the context of having a supportive partner not simply “they are hot and you are lucky to hit that every night”.

Usually a complete package couple.

Maybe he’s lucky because his gf is really funny, or makes great baked goods.

Hells to the nope! I said this about a friend’s girlfriend because she had a solid work ethic. He was self employed, aka unemployed.

Flat out had a friend say “hey man no disrespect but your gf looks super hot in that dress”.

I said “thanks I know!” and that was the end of it. 

If you consider being bangable to be the quality in a woman that makes a man lucky to be with them then yes, that is a nicer way to say as much than to say it bluntly. However, the man you are calling lucky might have a different idea of what qualities would make a man lucky to have in a girlfriend, and would misunderstand what you are trying to convey. Perhaps they might understand you to be complimenting her intelligence. And then, what meaning do your words have? The ones you meant for them to have, or the meaning they made for themselves after they left your lips?

Wow. Kinda. We definitely don’t say it unless we mean it. Still just wow.

Nah that’s how I tell a dude I’d bang his girlfriends dad

You’re not a lucky man then means I have already banged your girlfriend and I’m glad I’m not now.

It’s a compliment that is done respectfuly.

Nah I tell the girl “You’re a lucky woman”

lol I guess so, 😂🤣

Respectfully

The problem with America is how many people believe this.

“I wanna slam dance your wife”

Or Vice versa

Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire asked his friend how does it feel to have everything? Seems an alternative nicer way to put it

Nah. It is just an empty polite gesture.

I’d check up on your self-esteem, brother.

One time I was drunk and asked my cousin who that hot blonde was over there

He responded with an indignant “My wife”

I instantly hit him back with “What, I said she was hot!”

Take the W, man. Not like I went up and hit on her.

Sometimes I’ve said this and meant it as your girlfriend is a really nice person completely disconnected from looks
