Jinn, you don't compliment your SO physically? That's active objectification via words. And why is it okay? Because your SO thinks it's okay.
Likewise, "I'd hit it" is okay with ngdawg and shani. If I were to say it to them, it'd be a compliment hidden in a tease, and I suspect they'd take it as such. So you see it's not as simple as "it's offensive". It can be offensive, but that's way more complex and has a lot to do with the intent in saying it and the perception upon receiving it.
