3 guys & 3 gals, 2 married, 2 a couple,a single female and a single male. A good mix to get all the views right?
Out come? Guys you have to remember the words of General Ackbar, “It’s A TRAP!”
Sure it seems an innocuous question, but beware the depths of danger and trouble that hide behind it can cause any man to say “Just shoot me NOW!”
Surely I’m being over dramatic, actually no. The number of ‘explanations’ given why a woman would ask such a loaded question made us men cringe in horror. It is a bloody mine field! No answer is safe. Silence is also not safe.
From the guys, the obvious question is, “If you think it makes you look fat, why did you buy it?”
From the girls,
“I was slimmer then.” [ok I can agree that MAY be true]
“The lighting was different” [gee you think?]
“It was on sale” [Logic fail if you then wonder if you look fat in it]
“It matched the top I had on” [so put that bloody top on instead of this one!]
“I want to be comfortable’ [then stop buying skin tight stuff DDuh]
“What do you think” [No way, I saw that movie. The guy got the death sentence for it]
This is just a sample.
Now guys we agree, that a straight answer is what we normally give, if there is no possibility of peril or punishment. But for the sake of argument let’s offer a few reasons why we say, “It’s a TRAP!”
Personal Disclaimer statement!
I personally HATE those skinny-till-bones-protrude-so-I’m-sexy women.
Hello! When the curves we see, is actually the round part of various bones in your body sticking out so much; I hardly think Sexy but of pictures I saw of POWs at the Changi War Museum.
Back to the point.
Men will tell you if you women have gained some padding.
Guys will tell you that you have some junk in the trunk if it is really there. And some guys like a rounder bum on their women.
So if you show him your bum and say “Does this make me look fat” the answer is NO. With the small print stating that “If you did I would have told you, and yes I’m not lying, and no I do not want to play THAT game”
Also if you have already made up your mind that you wish to use that item, why bother asking? We know that most times you don’t really want our opinion. Again It’s a TRAP!!!
This brings us to the ‘Women have a secret agenda which usually end up with the guy getting sent to the dog house’ reason for asking that question.
If you want some affection, just say so, like “Hey baby if I took all this off will I look fat?”
If you are having the monthly urge to Purposely make Men Suffer (PMS) let me clue you in to a secret. We don’t like that game. We don’t want to play.
If you just feel like pissing him off, make him go shopping with you and not be able to leave your side.
See like I said in the beginning, “It is a TRAP!!!”
