    This could mean she seems like a nice person. And the dating pool is hell sometimes. So you’re lucky you found your person.

    So, if a guy tells his daughter’s boyfriend he’s a lucky man that means he wants to bang his daughter?

      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

    Did your new boyfriend’s son say that too, or was his response more like “why’d you steal my girlfriend, dad?”

    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.

      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

      Now I agree with this comment instead of the post! I am a leaf on the wind! Whose opinion will I absorb next!

    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?

      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.

          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.

    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
