I think you're right, Eaglewalker. He probably was just an ignoramous and didn't realize that he was being offensive. After all, he was nice enough to walk you to the gas station.

When I was in college, I babysat for a couple who were professors. One day while the male, Bill, was driving me to their house for my babysitting gig, he was telling me all about his stationary bike and suggested that I ride it because it would help slim down my thighs!! I was take aback. OK, I've always had muscular legs for my petite build but geez, he never saw my legs in shorts (I always wore jeans). I just laughed. He meant no offense---he actually thought he was being helpful, as he was so excited about his newfound passion for riding a stationary bike!
