Posted: 8/28/2005 2:17:01 AM | QUOTE: Not to offend, but you are, from what I can see, a nice piece of eye candy I wouldnt mind getting to know.
What they guy was trying to say, was he would like to know for sure that women are gonna be there and not just guys.
Some guys just dont know how to come across with words that are not offending. He was prolly brought up in a home where the women didnt get much for respect. I see that alot.
As a matter of fact, I was in Wal-mart a couple weeks ago. With my cousin and his daughter. we were looking for shoes for her inthe girls area. Two guys walked thru and one said, "we wont find anything here, this is the bit ches section". Wow was I shocked. I couldnt even say anything.

OMFG!!!! LOL LMAO!!!.. i literatly laughed my a ss out loud!!>
on a serious note, no, the guy didn't mean harm. like he said, speaking as a man and in a man's term, a correct translation, it just means; "i would certainly like to see and perhaps get to meet some new and refeshing companies or ladies in this up coming****ail party that you kindly organized" | |

If you don't want to be judged by your looks then take your picture down. I personally see nothing wrong with someone saying that you're "eye candy". Would you rather he said that you looked ugly?
If he wasn't trying to be mean, which I doubt, then take it for the compliment it is. Not all men are comfortable with saying things like "beautiful" and whatever. Or if it really bothers you, stop talking to him, or don't respond to the message and move on to the next person who doesn't reference your looks. | |

They can't know, but the fact that they think you're eye candy will make them wanna find out. | |

Enough guys hoot and hollar when you walk by the last thing you need to hear is that is the term they have given you. No, my name is ......
More then a piece of ass..... | |

Posted: 9/9/2005 8:29:54 PM | Why would you be offended i someone is essentially saying you look good. Now if the line is used in an inappropriate sitaution like at work I would understand.
Good point just real. | |

You not only have a right to be offended, personally I think you should be. Candy is sweet, yes, but it is temporary and often only leads to reaching for another piece. The term is probably used by someone who has nothing else to say. For both reasons you are better off without someone who has to resort to such things. Your profile clearly shows you are looking for substance, so keep looking. It only appears hopeless. (!)

Posted: 10/30/2005 9:33:34 AM | | I think that "eye candy" as a stand alone phrase is not offensive. It is when someone is wholly quantified as such, then it becomes offensive. If someone said that another person was "just eye candy" would be different. It doesn't seem like this guy was singling out women to put down, he was just being flip and a bit crass. | |

Posted: 10/30/2005 2:01:44 PM | Eye candy is nice. If a guy comes up to you in a bar, it's because he thinks you're attractive, i.e., eye candy. Unless he thinks you're easy, but that's another discussion. He doesn't know anything else about you, so it is both your jobs to find out about each other. If he's still too shallow, keep looking. Anyway, if he weren't attractive to you, you'd blow him off anyway, so isn't that a double standard?
Anway, from the quote given, the guy did NOT call you eye candy, he just hoped there'd be some at the meeting so it wouldn't be all guys. Yes, he implied that he hoped there would be some attractive women there, but that sounds pretty normal. Don't you hope that some attractive men show up? Would you ever refer to them to your friends as hot or hunks or something? | |
