I once told my girlfriend that I saw getting the truth or information out of people like opening a lock
Kind the right key, and apply the right amount of pressure, and whula!
She kinda got insulted, saying I shouldn't view people as locks to open.
Is what I did actually offensive? (I have my own opnion but am interested in what you all think)
It could very easily have been offensive. Whatever her degree of fondness for you is, by telling her that she likely saw it as applicable to not only information, but her feelings; it's not only an objectification thing. She may be feeling that her affections for you are a result of manipulation on your part and that you have done this by 'finding the key to her lock and applying the right amount of pressure.'
