How to tell my friend he's sexist?

[AlexanderTheGreat]

I've noticed and others have also pointed out a lot that one of my closest friends is really quite sexist. He is a really nice guy and I'm sure he is not intentionally sexist but he is sexist and as one of his closest friends I feel it would be a good idea if I told him (especially at this age so it doesn't become a habit).

He is always texting me saying things such as "what do you think of the new girl? i'll give her a 7.5" or "she's pretty fit". He sees women as objects and I feel that he must be told. A large amount of my girlfriends (that's friends who are girls, i'm not a player :P ) have picked up on the fact he is sexist and they don't like it and feel uncomfortable.

How do I approach him and tell him he is sexist towards women, as a friend?

All Advice Appreciated :)

Just politely tell him to keep it to himself, or to avoid talking this way around girls, or around certain people.
But honestly, though, your friend just sounds like a normal horny teenager. Unless you're asexual, chances are you're going to experience sexual attraction very frequently during your teen years, and it's alright to talk "dirty" amongst friends about girls you find attractive, etc. but your friend needs to know the right and wrong time to do this, or else he will be viewed as a pervert. Just explain that to him. It's cool to talk the way he does when he's around his friends, but not when he's around acquaintances or strangers who might not find that kind of conversing very appealing. Or if he's bothering you as well, as I said earlier, you can tell him to keep his thoughts about girls to himself.

No trust me, he's sexist. My girl and guy friends agree with me. He is a sexist.

Short answer:

Just tell the dick

There's no easy way to tell someone that, especially because they're not going to realize it right away and will more than likely become defensive. Be as gentle as possible, and expect it to go badly. Don't get angry and defensive in response. Just next time he says something, maybe point out, "hey, you know, that could be a little offensive."

i think you should just tell him. i mean if he's starting to get on people's nerves and you're worried he might upset someone, then yeah just tell him.

Sadly, most guys are like that. I have a friend..well let's not go into that. Sadly most sexist people are subconciously sexist meaning they don't know that they are and even if you alert them to the fact they don't care at all. But perhaps you could try bringing women up in a conversation and if he acts sexist be like:' Dude! not cool.'

Just tell him that saying those things makes him sound like a tool and that it won't help him with women.

If you lose him as a friend just for telling him that, frankly you lost nothing of importance.
