"Why can't I tell a woman that she would taste sublime with a side of fava beans?" -Opiate

The thing is that, to be fair, I'm honestly not even trying to make the "Opiate is socially awkward" comment, there. What I find so odd is that, even trying to play by the "logic is everything rules," I don't really understand his end game. He seemed to be trying to argue that there was some sort of interesting nuance worth examining, and as a general rule, I'm all for that. After all, I love delving into the gray areas of things.
However, he just lobbed out these bizarre fringe examples that clearly had no relevance to the notion of general discussion with women. I'm open to alternative viewpoints, but the topic at hand is general etiquette and the appropriateness of complementing how well endowed someone is, breastually speaking (I stand behind that made up word).
All right, fine, he concedes that just catcalling someone with "nice tits" is inappropriate. Good for him for being sane. However, what
is appropriate, then? When can I complement someone and not be considered a pervert? He was trying to make this an interesting, scientific discussion. And what does he present? Well, it wouldn't be inappropriate to complement your girlfriend about her rack, or a swinger at a swinger's club.
That's the nuance that should give us pause. I... I just don't get it. As I said, it is baffling.
