Silly girl feesh!
Okay the reason I say i don't like a call on the flop when the BB leads on the flop and UTG calls is that by just calling UTG's range is weakened since he probably raises with overpairs fairly frequently on this flop. If he has less ovepairs in his range, then you have less chance of stacking him should you make your straight and hence your call on the flop is worse because you don't stand to win as much on the rare ocassions when you make your hand. In a nutshell, your implied odds aren't that great.
This isn't a sufficient reason in itself to call. What matters is whether you have the right pot odds (the money in the pot already) + implied odds (the money you can win on future streets from you opponents) to make the call. We'll talk about that very soon, but remember to evaluate how many outs you have or better yet your equity with draws vs how much you're putting in the pot. Pokerstove can help you familiarise yourself with equity in these common situations, have a play around with various draws.
but at the time I figured he was playing pretty loosely and didn't appear to be positionally aware.
This is true, but bear in mind his PFR stat is what matters here, not VPIP, and even if he isn't positionally aware, he's still opening very tightly from any position.
