Im being edge-y and they don't say those words. But the implication is there.

Borderline: "You look like Lucy Liu! I loved her in Charlie's Angels."

Real creep: "Mindy Kaling is HOT with a capital T! Easily the best girl in the Office."

As a dude, I've had creepy women compare me to actors who are skin colored like me. They're not licking their lips like I'm a piece of meat, but it's a start of "Okay was that a compliment or a start of your fetishizing?"
