Donut - I don't panic anymore! I once answered 'yes' (that's the any-other-option), got my -50p and from there on I've never been bothered with this question anymore! (I'm still married )
OK, it took me making the bed 50 times to get even again, but I was done with that in about one forenoon... [ 02-27-2003, 06:44 AM: Message edited by: Borvik ]

This would make a great addition to sex-ed. After all the biology lessons, hand this out to all the boys.

Nah, don't think so Yorick. If you don't hesitate or give them a bad answer (like yes), they wonder why you're so quick to deny it. If you hesitate, they wonder why. If you say yes, well, you're sleeping on the couch [img]tongue.gif[/img]
You could try "I'm glad it does" though, as that's the jealous side of you showing it's face and it may just reduce the penalty to -25. Just a theory... [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

I find that deflection is the best way to deal with those sorts of questions... get em thinking about something else.
"Does this dress make me look fat?" (walk over and give her a big hug, maybe an ear nibble) "why don't you take it off so I can compare?" The key is to make it quite obvious that if you get her dress off you'll be too busy to do ANY comparing. Usually at this point either she rolls her eyes and calls me oversexed (a minus, but not a big one), or things get interesting (a big plus). But in either event I get away without having to address the question and there's more upside potential than downside. [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 02-27-2003, 02:42 PM: Message edited by: Thoran ] |

Nah, it would sound as if you've thought of that answer before because you were afraid she'd ask you that. So it would be the same as saying "Yes". [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Edit -- an answer to Legolas and Yorick. ("In my eyes it makes you look perfect" answer). [ 02-27-2003, 02:45 PM: Message edited by: Spelca ]

I don't see what's the big deal with that question. If I get asked something like that, I'll tell her the truth, and if she is not happy with my answer, or doubt my honesty. SHE will be sleeping on the couch. If you can't handle the truth, don't ask.

Actually, the best response is to grab a blanket, throw it around her yelling "you can't wear that out were other guys will see", then close the curtains and take the blanket back off while saying "now let me see that outfit again" while drooling. Most jealous reactions are somewhat flattering. I'll still wear what I want, when I want though.

When I do that chances are, my wife would say something like "stop fooling around" with a . But that's what she would expect anyway, so it would earn me ...0p.
