Yes, that was the way back then, a bit of history in many ways!

I never took any of it seriously. Today you have to be so careful what you do or say because someone will be offended ( I don't mean really terrible stuff).

Women were so suppressed back then that any attention by men meant that they still had hope to get a man to be subserviant to!!

No, I never liked it. It made me uncomfortable and I'd avoid it whenever I could; ignore it when I couldn't. But that's just me; if someone thought it was a compliment, so be it.

In college a small group of us (all women) were sitting at a table in the student lounge and a guy came over to one of the women and out of the blue said "Wow, you are so tough!" (For those of a different generation, it was the ultimate compliment.)

She was so taken aback and embarrassed she didn't respond and, as soon as he walked away she said "I hate that!" I've never forgotten it. She was stunning, but she was so much more than that, and it made her feel like an object. (BTW, that guy never got a date with her!)

@Venezia I can picture that experience you describe, and it makes me cringe.

During my college years, I had more than a few classes in the Liberal Arts building which had long concrete planters about 3 ft high lining the walk leading to the front entrance. It was a gathering spot for "guys," mostly frat, who would sit there and rate or just make comments as women passed in or out of the building. After a few days of "running the gauntlet," I discovered another door: No gauntlet!
