[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is narcissistic behavior. Saying something he knows is out of bounds and basically daring people to react. Your problem is way bigger than what your friend thinks. I would have reacted the same way to such an inappropriate comment. [/quote]

How is that narcissistic behavior? Socially inept, sure, but I don’t really see it as narcissistic. [/quote]

It’s easily could be seen as attention seeking.

Or an overt put down to one’s wife or women in the conversation.

Clueless spectrum guys don’t really talk like that unless they just read it and are trying to impress someone with a big cool story. Oops. [/quote]

I agree. I don't know what OP's husband suffers from, but the ASD people I know are usually not that interested in how other people look, and if they are, probably wouldn't use sexualized phrasing. Just going with how my Aspie husband behaves, as well as other husbands I know with high-functioning autism. They can be quirky, pontificate, show too much or too little academic interest, but not in that particular way.

I had a male friend whose father behaved like this, however. It created a lot of conflict with his wife, and was uncomfortable for his two sons. He continually remarked out loud on the charms of other women. It was almost like an addiction. He couldn't stop himself. I don't know what the problem was. He never acted on it, as in follow anyone, touch anyone, or take pics, but talking about it was enough trouble already![/quote]
