The "In my eyes you look perfect" answer doesn't work with me either....

Anytime I tried to give my now-ex-girlfriend a compliment, she either denyed it (if it was a statement of fact, such as, "you look beautiful") or said I'm biased (if it was my opinion). Either that or she suspects me of sucking up...

By the way, does this make me look fat?

Nah, you look lovely! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I always find that the perfect answer to "Does this dress make me look fat?" is one of either:

"No, *you* make you look fat."

or

"No, fat makes you look fat.".

Of course, when I say it "works"...

Try this one: "In my eyes it makes you look perfect" [img]smile.gif[/img] Can't argue with ones perception. It's presenting a positive not a negative. The implication is that she could be overweight and yet she's still perfect to you. There's no lie, and no pressure. +100. ;)

Keeeeeep Dreaming, Yorick. ;) Besides, you need an answer that doesn't set off the BS detector. :D

I'll have to remember this one!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
When I do that chances are, my wife would say something like "stop fooling around" with a :rolleyes: . But that's what she would expect anyway, so it would earn me ...0p. ;) </font>[/QUOTE]Well, I like this one. It's closer to what my wife would call the f***able answer. ;)
