How is that even comparable to make yourself pretty?

They're both figures of speech about getting ready to go out. Rather obvious.

I doubt many people put literal dancing shoes on these days.

Yet their reaction says otherwise.

It was a sexist comment and I'm sure it'll happen again.

Another phrase no doubt.

Their reaction says otherwise?

So, they could literally react to anything and it would be their reaction and how they feel that's correct and important in spite of what was actually said?

As for that last remark, yeah, because I'm clearly making up that it's a phrase because I'm so scared of Karthick being labelled sexist.

Not.

Karthick is the sort of guy that enjoys dressing up and looking smart...it's naive of him to think that someone can't just dress as they please and still be able to enjoy an evening. He is slightly old fashioned...and it does come across a bit sexist. I don't think he meant anything by it...but he should be a little more open minded.

I'll give him a pass on this one (may have been edited against him or he worded it wrong). If it happens again though, I'll start to think he can be a controlling character concerning women = very offputing

He is really chauvinistic in general. if I remember correctly he didnt want to give any woman any kind of credit on the apprentice or praise them on tasks. He should have told her cheer up and join the party I didnt like his terminology of making herself look pretty. Who is he to say that.

Karthik was being sexist and rude.

Karthik thinks (or says in the diary room) that he is the hub of humour in the house.

Karthik is deluded and that's why no one seems to gravitate towards him.

He seems to have learned to shut up a little bit since his ' Apprentice' days but I don't think he will be liked in the house.

Yes just like if i said 'why don't you get that awful mono brow waxed, it looks ridiculous' i wouldn't be being mean i would be being honest .

I don't like him and he should keep his stupid patronizing gob shut !

I'm not sure if he meant it in a chauvinistic way or it was just wrong choice of words. But yes, not the smartest thing to say...

He prefixed it with 'What you need to do...' and that's why what he said was offensive. Sarah doesn't need to do anything. Karthik needs to find a better way to say things if he doesn't mean to offend. He is condescending...
