Complement or insult

We were recently at a 21st party. Didn't know half the people there as it was the first time the 2 families had got together. Anyway by end of the night everyone was getting on great, when a guy comes up to me at the bar and says, "fucking hell mate, just seen who your wife is! Your punching well above your weight there pal". Now my reaction was, yeah, I know, I'm a lucky sod and took it as a complement, the wife however didn't when I told her the next day she said he was rude and insulting me.

How would everyone else have taken it?

For the record I have always thought I was punching well above my weight lol

It’s a compliment to you and your wife.

I think it’s a slap on the back you lucky sod type of thing whilst also having a sly dig at your expense.

But you have the last laugh cos she chose you, married you and snogs your face off regularly!

Compliment to your wife but insulting to you but I would imagine he’s just having banter ??

I think it was meant as a harmless compliment. It's easier than saying wow your mrs is nice

I think it's just a blokey expression

I see it as slightly jealous banter.

I'd assume at a party, the booze had been flowing..

I'd take it as a bit of d*unken banter & a compliment

I don't take any notice but I know it annoys Flik as she sees it as an insult to me.

I think commenting like that about someones relationship is a little disrespectful.

I think it’s a wanky comment and if you’d never met the guy previously he’s stepping over the line.

Should have put one on him OP.

As others have said, probably not an insult, more a socially ‘acceptable’ way of saying ‘I fancy your wife’.

You shouldn’t think of yourself as punching above your weight, your wife clearly doesn’t think so and it’s her opinion that counts - that’s something to revel in and enjoy, not doubt and feel insecure about.

Its one of those socially acceptable throw away comments unfortunately. Meant as a compliment but from a stranger it’s insulting because of the little drag down associated with it. Unfortunately male ego and society in general struggles to be able to compliment without a clause.

Husband always says “you’re a lucky man” to a guy if the situation warrants it, respectful, simple and not creepy.

At the same time “your misses has great tits” is probably more of an insult than the out of your league one most of the time.
