 Ask him if thats the way things work around here, how the hell did he get hired?
no im kidding dont really say that. But i would be massively offended if someone said that to me. If he says anything like that again tell him you dont appreciate it and that hes crossing a line. I also need to wonder why he told you that. I mean its bad enough that he thought it but what did he hope to achieve by telling you it? Did he think you would be flattered that he thought you were so hot he gave you a job? Is he hitting on you and just trying to make sure you know he thinks you're sexy. Keep an eye on him and dont put up with any nonsense. You have to make him respect you.
take care

Dont think saying nothing is the answer, he may take this in a different way to what is meant.Have a chat and make yourself clear.

While it could be taken as a compliment it is also a form of sexual discrimination. You should make it clear to him that you will not stand for inappropriate behaviour from him or anyone else. I would also suggest that you be very cautious in any dealings with this person because if that is the reason he hired you then it is likely that he has other objectives also.
If you say nothing he will probably take is as tacit consent to continue and that you are not against his plans. In the work situation it is always inappropriate for a relationship to form between a boss and an employee because the power dynamics lead to abuse and control.
Good luck dealing with this jerk.
