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...

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.

Most jealous reactions are somewhat flattering. I'll still wear what I want, when I want though.

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 . But that's what she would expect anyway, so it would earn me ...0p. [/QUOTE]Well, I like this one. It's closer to what my wife would call the f***able answer.
