Totally agree Mr Oslabofvic. Given how the situation was initially described, I don't think any of the comments are particularly sexist. I could totally imagine many women making exactly the same joke, 'Did you get their number?' if someone had described a bunch of unattractive bogan males keeping everyone awake with talk about sex.
