Was talking to this girl about books we've recently read, told her I just finished The Picture Of Dorian Gray and she responded with this. Is this a compliment or insult?

Women don't understand literature, so to her, Dorian Gray is just some sexy rich person. She's not intelligent enough to understand that Dorian is an incredibly corrupt and debased character who's selfish desires lead to his own destruction.

Dorian is a suave womanizer (read: gay) whose fatal flaws are narcissism and fear of aging. It's pretty hard to interpret him differently, so if she actually read it then it's not a compliment.
Then again maybe she's not a super deep reader and she just envisioned Dorian as a hot Prince Charming, in which case it is.

I don't think it's a compliment OP. Dorian was hot, yes, but he was manipulated by Boris, whom I consider a homosexuual, into being a chauvanist. It wasn't even his own choice, it was like he was doing all of that to please a gay man because he called him pretty.

It sounds like she's calling you a weak-minded narcissist with homosexual tendencies.

Something to happen if you like the person as a person, which is far less likely than liking a person for their body. And avoiding these chances to smash means that if you do get married your sex life will suffer since you'll miss out on all the techniques you could have learned, and a shit sex life will detract from the quality of your marriage. Nothing makes a woman as unsatisfied as an unsatisfied libido

So, if you want a good marriage, smash as much as you can
