So if you say they are a lucky couple, are you offering to be their third?
It could be that, or it could also be a way for someone to say they approve of your relationship without being so tacky as to say they approve of your relationship.
It can also be a way of saying that you’re hitting above your weight class, that you’re out of your league, And they didn’t really expect that you’d find someone as amazing as your girlfriend.
But in reality, yeah, it probably means that they’re attracted to her. But attraction occurs on many different levels and physical intimacy is just one.
If I try to think of the girl that would make me say this to my son, it would be someone who was intelligent, motivated with ambition of where she wants to go and that she’s attractive and seems to be in love with my son.
You are a lucky man!
Man lucky you are a!
This could mean she seems like a nice person. And the dating pool is hell sometimes. So you’re lucky you found your person.
Only if you’re a shallow person who evaluates the partners of your friends solely on their sex appeal.
Thinking like this is telling on yourself.
Now I agree with this comment instead of the post! I am a leaf on the wind! Whose opinion will I absorb next!
All I know is my gut says maybe
You neutral bastards
Probably a reaver’s.
:0
mine! empanadas are delicious
You are me
Me 2
Honestly yeah, I thought about that too, but also imagine someone meets your gf for the first time and says this, yeah now I’m thinking he just wants to bangs her and I’m probably right depending
At least in my experience this is something you say when meeting the BF for the first time because you already know her and know she’s great. Usually the person you’re meeting is the lucky one not the person you already know.
So, if a guy tells his daughter’s boyfriend he’s a lucky man that means he wants to bang his daughter?
Now you’re gettin’ it
Different situation. In that case the father thinks the daughter is too good for the boyfriends.
How exactly is it a different situation?
Because that persons internal narrative says so
This is a concise and correct answer to a significant percentage of questions I hear.
Oh gee i didn’t know that, thanks for the helpful response
I want to bang your dad
Well in that case he’s probably jealous of getting to go to the movies and spending lots of quality time together. One would fucking better well hope anyway
Violet, if 10% of what you shared here is true, I can say your boyfriend is a lucky man.
I have congratulated quite a few friends like that, without knowing there’s a deeper meaning to it.
Like what else am i supposed to say when a friend finally gets a GF?
You can continue congratulating friends like this.
The implied meaning is that he is lucky because she is attractive.
Attractive women get more interest from more guys, so any individual faces more competition. So what you are really saying is “good work on making yourself attractive and putting yourself out there.”
But as you are complimenting your friend, you are also subtly complimenting his new girlfriend. Protip: people like being told they are attractive. And anyone with half a brain knows that people find other people attractive regardless of relationship status.
So yeah, there’s a subtext. It’s a compliment for both people. People like compliments. The only people who wouldn’t like a compliment like this are terminally online lemmings with insecurities about their attractiveness and weird sexual hangups.
Just say ‘penis’ right out of the gate.
-“I’d hit that!!”
I guess…
/sj
Marry her, before her head injury clears up.
“So when am I getting grandkids?” is taken already, but it’d be funnier coming from you.
That’s a good one. Most definitely going to use it next time.
without knowing there’s a deeper meaning to it.
Honestly I dunno if that’s necessarily the “actual” meaning behind it. (not that it can’t be the way someone technically means it, though)
You can genuinely just be saying “you’re lucky to be together with someone you love”, without also saying “I find that person you’re with attractive and want to have sex with them”
what else am i supposed to say when a friend finally gets a GF?
“Congrats, happy for you!” “You two look cute together!” “I’m glad you two hit it off!”
Don’t sweat it. Most people are fine with just a simple congratulatory statement. Doesn’t have to have any deep meaning or anything, but hey, “you’re a lucky man” doesn’t have to have a deeper meaning either.
Good point, I’ll keep the grandkids one for closer friends and you’re recommendations for everyone else. Thank you.
My autistic ass has observed that you’re supposed to go “Hell yeah brotha” and fist bump them.
The “Hell yeah” is a good one, but that actually raises a question. I used the same observational method to reach to my congratulation statement. Which, in the light of this new information, makes me wonder. Do most people around me want to fuck their friends partners?
Though more likely just a cultural difference. I doubt that most people would want to fuck their friends partners.
There’s several women in my friend group that I think are hot. I don’t want to fuck any of them for various reasons. Being married to or dating one of my other friends is high among those reasons.
“Nice to meet you”?
Wouldn’t that be more for just meeting a new person? Kinda lacking the congratulating the friend part?
Congratulations are not mandatory, I find it a bit wierd from the woman’s position. Just showing interest in her directly and talking to her, not about her, feels much better.
Yeah, this is highly context dependent. If a guy meets a new couple, they chat for half an hour, and then half the couple excuses themselves for five minutes - in that case it’s perfectly normal to take the opportunity to say “hey, you’re pretty lucky.”
But if you meet the couple and immediately congratulate one half of it like the other isn’t there, I’d see that as insulting. Not because I think you want to bang them, but because you aren’t even treating them like a human.
Good point.
Did your new boyfriend’s son say that too, or was his response more like “why’d you steal my girlfriend, dad?”
there’s a non-zero chance i could get with his dad if i wanted to
that’d at least give him a real reason to go around calling me a slut
“Now you will experience the FULL POWER of the slut side”
claps cheeks
Oh violet, please never go on wellbutrin, it’d make you far too powerful.
Just say you’d bang them
Be a man.
A real man and an actual friend would bang both of them. Most people are all talk.
