I have to agree with you, Tom. 

I have a very good friend who just happens to be a very nice looking
lady. I was visiting with she and her husband one afternoon, and she was
preparing food to barbeque that evening. 

Jimmy and I were sitting at their table enjoying a cold adult beverage,
and I just made a comment about what a fine specimen she was. She turns
to me and says, "Dan, you're a sexist pig!" (Smiling), to which I had to
reply, "That may be true, but I would rather watch you walk around than
any guy."

'Nuff said.
