Common Courtesy

This is just a general plea to people. Please, when you're out in public with a large group of friends (i.e. your friends) be mindful of the comments you make. I don't want this to be confused with not saying what you feel around your friends, on the contrary, i think your friends are absolutely the best place you can can just be yourself. when you are among friends you do not have to worry about what you're going to say and if that might offend someone. For the most part, friends tend to be willing to listen, give advice, and if you say something offensive or inappropriate they will let you know but everyone will move on, but I digress. the situation I was referring to is in regards to making comments about someone girl/boyfriend. If you make a comment about someone and that persons boy/girlfriend decides to follow up on it or counter, don't become offended if the topic leads it's way to a place you're uncomfortable. You opened up the dialogue with your "insightful" comment but when the couple you were talking to decides to continue it with a legitimate response don't start complaining that this is getting uncomfortable and they should stop. Did you think about your comments and whether or not they make them uncomfortable? If you know certain topics, by nature, make you uncomfortable (the sex life of two of your friends) then don't bring them up. However when you're comment is along the lines of "that's because you have a vagina" don't be shocked and appalled when the boyfriend tells you that "yes, she does, and I really like it like that". The rebuttal was in response to a very poorly thought out comment that could have very easily have resulted in a spat. While the response is not necessarily the most obvious one, it's still not anything that can be seen as purposefully said with malicious intent because it's still a natural response. Think about the comment you made to invoke an "uncomfortable" response and whether or not your initial comment might have invoked a similar reaction from others.
