15 years ago:"Honey, do these pants make me look fat, what do you think?" She asked me. "No dear, those are nice jeans. No the pants are just lovely", I replied. "No....it's your ASS that makes you look fat dear, not those pants"
10 years ago:
"No the PANTS are just lovely"
today:
"hmm"
I must admit to have been somewhat rude, blunt and grumpy at times. I even admit to be a pain in the rear to live with from time to time. Hell I would agree instantly if you would say that I've behaved like a selfish arrogant SOB during my younger years. But all of that has changed. I have aged, matured and have smoothened the sharper edges.
But after several relationships and years of wisdom I still haven't found the right response to her question. She deserves my honest opinion, I won't lie to her. But even when I don't say a word she goes "what are you looking at?, What's wrong?, It's the pants right?"
Ahhh...women....

There really are times when honesty is not the best policy.
It doesn't mean lying exactly, just a careful turn of phrase (if you must say anything at all).
I'm sitting here laughing.
I never ask and things seem to work better that way. Pretty much I would know if I look fat or not, why ask someone. Besides my idea of fat might not be another persons idea of fat so as long as I think I look OK what the hell do I care what they think.
DA
Having a family of 5 womem (wife + 3 dauugters + female dog )the answer to that question is dead easy !!
Just ask the question: What do you think ? and then agree.
Does not want to answer!!. Than neither do you !!
Or you could always go and practice your golf while she decided the best possible outfits to wear.
On holidays I used to have a round and return home in time to take the family down to the beach or out for the day (they had just finished getting ready)!!
Best wishes
I like leather pants - every size ass looks fine in them.
As for honesty ... if you ask stupid questions where you already know the answer - you can only expect rough comments back.
Why not say: "Honey, my fat bum doesn't quite fit into my jeans anymore. Do you still love me despite this obstacle?"
Then I of course would answer with a resounding YES! But blaming it on the pants, nahhh....
If you were amiss in your answers, it's because they were amiss in asking...
Hope you are well.
"I don't have your eye for these sorts of things. I love you. You're beautiful."
or...
"I'll have to check manually." ;-)
Hmpf! MEN! Today, I was trying to buy some new sandals. I spent forever finding just the right pair. I thought they looked good, felt good.... Then Mr. Pink comes along. "Those are ugly," he says. Sigh. Didn't get those shoes, but now I have to spend more time finding another pair.
Mr. Pink is not aging as well as DA?
Lol....I think U should rather not reply....
DOES IT MAKE ME LOOK FAT?
You're on your own.....U will never win..
....if she ask...Do I look fat on this? What ever it's.....
Also don't answer it. There is no answer to this question that won't be interpreted 'yes, your fat'.
Madcap mum,
Good suggestions...
I'm with Madcap on this one. dodge the question by being a bit raunchy.. *lol*
hmmmm... touchy subject there.
i'd reply: 'i hate it when you wear pants, hiding that sweet ass. so don't be asking me."
ta-da! that's gets me a big slice of pie and a sloppy hummer every time. gotta let the lady know you love her curves, and that's part of the reason you still hangin' out.
Never ask a question that you don't really want the answer to...
I would say something like:
"When books swim with geese in the oven of change, all clouds turn green with emotion."
Or maybe just: "Hmmmm"
You're a provocative blogger bro!
This seems to be a reckognizable topic. Tina: "does he think my ass is the size of a Cleveland suburb?" That was a good piece of writing :-)!! Thx for the link..
And thank you all for your advises: (white)lie, go play golf, just be blunt, go the manual way, don't answer, be honest with tact, seize her waist and bite her cheek (she liked that one:-),let the lady know you love her curves or just say "When books swim with geese in the oven of change, all clouds turn green with emotion" ehh...
See you back soon my dear blogfamily!!
Great post...and ouch question....always..
(1) Hmmm. - always safe...solid
(2) smile and kiss her...HARD...like IT reallly doesn't matter about the pants...
(3) "you still look 20 to me"
and some of the other womenfolk here also really gave great answers....
and the best part is that you still care and have not entered the "it doesn't matter "phase of life...
