What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

Isn't it a turn on to have sex with a girl in a skirt or in a tight spandex?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
