>Are you guys really sexist...

you need to read your dictionary. Sexism is, essentially,
not being fair/right in your treatment of someone based on
their gender. Webster says:

"1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; esp. discrimination
against women 2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster
stereotypes of social roles based on sex."

Saying someone would be "fun at a party" is not doing anything
"sexist". Neither is describing a woman as "very classy" or
as having a very "complex smile". There is nothing that fosters
stereotypes or discriminates in any of those statements.
Men enjoy women, and women enjoy men, and both genders discuss
the other. See "Hunks of CNBC" thread if you think otherwise.
It goes both ways. Lighten up.
