Doesn't that mean that it doesn't skeeze some folks when they're blatantly objectified though.
Makes some folks uncomfortable.
I guess we disagree on this. I don't think that thinking someone is beautiful and being attracted to them physically is objectifying the person. It would become objectifying, in my opinion, if you then proceeded to gawk at them to get all lusty and start fantasizing about having sex with their body (considering you don't even know them). Because then you're seeing them as merely an object for your own gratification and not a person that has more to them than that. But simply thinking someone is beautiful and having physical attraction? I don't think that's objectifying, but I guess it's to each their own if it makes them feel uncomfortable or not. Personally I take it as a compliment lol.
What matters as far as the OP is concerned is how hitting on someone in absence of any other information besides personal appearance does in fact, stand to make some women feel as though they are being objectified. And how that may impact their responses to him.
Whether you or I feel it's actually objectification or not, is of no consequence in this matter.
