Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before"

I could see some sort of connection between, like, there’s a pickup line where a guy would dip his fingers in a glass of water and flick a few drops of water on a girls clothes, and then tell the woman, “hey, let’s get you out of those wet clothes”, but I don’t see anything inherently sexist in what you said.
Maybe she is making that connection in her mind and just having a difficult time expressing it to you cogently.

That ‘pickup line’ sounds like a great way to make enemies.

Most pickup lines are unless you’re hot.

No, yes, it was even considered a bad pickup line back in the 80s or 70s or whenever the movie i saw that had that pickup line in it was made.
Like the whole point of the thing was to show the viewer what a douchebag this guy was so that when the main character showed up and wasn’t a douchebag by comparison, you would go, “hey, that guy’s not a douchebag, you should pick him over the douchebag.”
