..... and she's supposed to acknowledge a throw away line from a man who can't even afford a watch?
Seriously, the man is just fishing and I've never met a fisherman so arrogant that he expected every fish to be grateful that he cast his bait in their direction.

Uh, this is listed under Comedy....
People with a decent sense of humor realize that the Letterman-Palin's-daughter joke was about A-Rod. I didn't need Palin to try to explain it to me for obvious reasons.
Wait... maybe not obvious to everyone.
Kinda like when Dicky Cheney starts a sentence with "The overwhelming evidence is..". You can bet that there's no evidence whatsoever. He has no sense of humor (maybe not even a heart). People with a sense of humor spot this kind of oxymoronic speech intuitively.
Right? Hey you, I said right? Hey Bi...h!
Great post - thanks.

Are you joking? The male character did not complimnent or even engage in respectful conversation. He objectified the female charactor and sought her attention in a negavtive manner. She owed him nothing.

Smith, this was not a compliment. This is a male expecting superficially good behavior to be rewarded with public validation of his manhood.
Sort of like the blind date I had to continually escalated his compliments as I refused to let him hug me, kiss me, or show him my legs. Finally he gave up the flattery and pulled my dress up in the middle of a restaurant, to see for himself, then complained that my skirt was too long and asked to see my breasts. As I walked away he told me to call him if I ever found a man "who'd put up with your attitude."

If you were a woman you'd know that men say these things deliberately to engage you and to contrive literally to force you to respond to them. And they do it about every ten feet. How many times can a woman find it a pleasure to be accosted as she walks to work? How many times before you'd want to just scream? How many times would you like your female relative (sister, mother, daughter) to respond in a friendly manner to some dude she doesn't know from Adam who's hanging around on the sidewalk blessing women he thinks is beautiful?
The addition of "God bless you" is the most annoying part of the whole attempt to engage a woman's attention and MAKE her respond. It always makes me want to say, I did not sneeze. Or , who are you? The Pope?
And lastly, the transformation into the aggressive intimidator at the end just shows you what the true face of the "complimenter" is.

Carolita/ May I call you Carolita, Baby? I see your point.
However the double standard always exists. Years ago some women in the midwest were tired of construction workers churlish behavior towards them(whistling, using the word beautiful etc) as the women walked by their construction site.The women sued(sued) to stop this behavior.
Some of the women when interviewed on TV stated that they didn't mind the behavior when it came from some of the cute guys, it was just the ugly one's attiitudes they found offensive. What was their true face?? ?

...BTW, speaking of "ugly," who do these guys think they are, anyway?!
