Ok, the lawyer was being a bit creepy and should have known better, but the young lady could really have handled this better privately rather than publicly IMO. Definitely a case of pot, kettle.

She openly admits other people had paid her compliments in the past but picked on this guy because of his seniority.

His message was out of tone with the site he is on. I'm sure his wife will not be too impressed.

His comment was inappropriate but her response was way over the top.

On another note, in that photo she reminds me of an actress but I cannot for the life of my name that actress

She's got a point. Fit birds get far too much harassment at work these days. Its not on.

Pizzawheel

Hooters should do something!

JamesM

Hooters rewards fit birds. It doesn't punish them.

If you don't want people to judge you based on your looks, don't put a picture on your profile, its not obligatory.

Tirytory

Err what's the problem?

He got shot down for his not so subtle subtext...

Hemi Dave

Oh My God, I'm sorry for complimenting you!

And he never said anything about her appearance, he was complimenting the photography.

Why would he compliment her appearance when she's an ugly pig???

Tirytory

So he recognizes it as a politically incorrect thing to say but you don't? And because you object you're going to insult her. Nice.. In fact that's more befitting playground behaviour actually.

I am confused as to what is offensive about the original comment made, just mentions the photo not her looks, and then simply say's it's the best picture he has seen.

I guess I am out of tune with what is considered offensive and what isn't these days...

Seems she is ageist since it appears she chose to out this message due to his age, as she has apparently received other messages she didn't post.


What a complicated world we live in.


Never compliment anyone on anything to be safe I suppose.

Not so sure about that. Although she made reference to her being half his age I think she was highlighting his position rather than age.
Senior partner in a law firm. Someone who really ought to know better.

I don't see how his position is even relevant.

I can't see how the original comment is even offensive, I am still at a loss. Her appearance was never mentioned, as far as I can tell.


Oh well, part of the disorder is not seeing what other see or understanding people, which is why most people with my disorder don't have friends......lol..

Tirytory

I suggest you read her reply to understand why it's wrong. Also would he have contacted another man and told him that his profile picture was handsome? And what on earth do looks have to do with people working in a professional capacity. If she put that as a profile pic on a dating site then fair enough but she didn't. It's work pure and simple and to mention physical appearance only serves to objectify women. Nothing complicated about that.

I don't get what he was thinking - she's kind of weird looking.
