Yes. He later said he should have come up with some way to deflect it, but didn't know what to say.

Also, who is Cory Doctorow? That's who the "I Write Like" program says my FB posts emulate. For a legal brief I wrote {{shudder}}, it says Stephen King.

So yesterday is my husband's birthday, and a friend of ours, who is a physical therapist (a very good one) comes up to him at the beach club (pre-TU-ejection) and says she's going to give him a birthday back rub, or some such thing.

She proceeds to give him a rubdown, and making comments like "Oooh, [name], you're so strong and fit...".

When she finally gets her hands off him, he looked at me and asked, "What was that? That made me sort of uncomfortable."

We laughed about it, but WTF? Should I say something to her? It was just so strange. Before she came over to rub down my husband, I saw her doing another "roving massage" for this other guy, and thought to myself that it was strange, but the guy wasn't my husband, so it wasn't really my business.

So, before you ask, No, she's not hot. She's not a fat or anything, but not hot. And no, I'm not worried about my husband being interested in her.

That's all kind of weirdness. My aunt is a physical therapist and she will often do PT kind of things at family gatherings -- but more in the way of showing people the pressure points for various aches and ailments or stretching out neck or shoulder muscles. Never massages and definitely not comments about peoples' physiques.

So maybe the guys you hang around with don't have physiques like dtb's hubby? That midwestern potato salad shows its work you know.
