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
CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
At least in my experience this is something you say when meeting the BF for the first time because you already know her and know she’s great. Usually the person you’re meeting is the lucky one not the person you already know.

Oh violet, please never go on wellbutrin, it’d make you far too powerful.

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

Violet, if 10% of what you shared here is true, I can say your boyfriend is a lucky man.
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
So, if a guy tells his daughter’s boyfriend he’s a lucky man that means he wants to bang his daughter?
Jerkface@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Now you’re gettin’ it
frog@feddit.uk 4 weeks ago
Different situation. In that case the father thinks the daughter is too good for the boyfriends.
quips@slrpnk.net 4 weeks ago
How exactly is it a different situation?
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 weeks ago
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
BC_viper@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Just sau you’d bang them
Be a man.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
A real man and an actual friend would bang both of them. Most people are all talk.
blady_blah@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It could be that, or it could also be a way for someone to say they approve of your relationship without being so tacky as to say they approve of your relationship.
It can also be a way of saying that you’re hitting above your weight class, that you’re out of your league, And they didn’t really expect that you’d find someone as amazing as your girlfriend.
But in reality, yeah, it probably means that they’re attracted to her. But attraction occurs on many different levels and physical intimacy is just one.

So if you say they are a lucky couple, are you offering to be their third?
roserose56@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
You are a lucky man!
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago

Did your new boyfriend’s son say that too, or was his response more like “why’d you steal my girlfriend, dad?”
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 4 weeks ago
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?
yakko@feddit.uk 4 weeks ago
“So when am I getting grandkids?” is taken already, but it’d be funnier coming from you.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 4 weeks ago
That’s a good one. Most definitely going to use it next time.
AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 4 weeks ago
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”
“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.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 4 weeks ago
Good point, I’ll keep the grandkids one for closer friends and you’re recommendations for everyone else. Thank you.
python@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
My autistic ass has observed that you’re supposed to go “Hell yeah brotha” and fist bump them.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 4 weeks ago
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.
Hapankaali@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
“Nice to meet you”?
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 4 weeks ago
Wouldn’t that be more for just meeting a new person? Kinda lacking the congratulating the friend part?
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago
Marry her, before her head injury clears up.
blarghly@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You can continue congratulating friends like this.
The implied meaning is that he is lucky because she is attractive.
Attractive women get more interest from more guys, so any individual faces more competition. So what you are really saying is “good work on making yourself attractive and putting yourself out there.”
But as you are complimenting your friend, you are also subtly complimenting his new girlfriend. Protip: people like being told they are attractive. And anyone with half a brain knows that people find other people attractive regardless of relationship status.
So yeah, there’s a subtext. It’s a compliment for both people. People like compliments. The only people who wouldn’t like a compliment like this are terminally online lemmings with insecurities about their attractiveness and weird sexual hangups.
