Wife/GF: "Does my butt look too big in these pants?"

Husband/BF:

 

..... .....

 

Well, technically if it was me i would tell her the truth cause that's what our relationship is built on, truth and trust....and a lot of other things....

 

sure but sleeping on the couch is not always the best.

 

You mean....you are not supposed to sleep on the couch?

 

Hmmm...makes you wonder if the guy that named them a pair of pants (BTW: why it is "them" and not "it"? Oh, well) is the same guy that had a sis in each hand while trying to figure out how to make cut-offs?....and that beget sissors...
...badda boom, badda bing.

 

Hahaha....

The response from the Husband/BF was left blank for a reason. Any man here with any great experience knows full well that there is NO correct answer to this question (as 1970Custom so eloquently points out). I could outline a matrix of possible answers/responses to the above scenario, but I can assure you that FTE doesn't have enough bandwidth for me to perform this excercise.

And klatt_89, all joking aside, I envy your relationship.

 

The correct answer to the question depends on your relationship with that person.

I'm always truthful with her but not very truthful with others because of a trip i'm going on with her, i'm saying it's a truck cruise with some buddies of mine....NOT....lol

"Politicians are adept at Ignoring facts" ---Emory Unversity study
While monitoring the brain activity of staunch party members from different political parties researchers found interesting results.

When asked to evaluate facts that threatened their preferred candidates views prior to the 2004 Presidential election, participants ignored information contrary to thier views. " We did not see any increased activity associated with the parts of the brain that normally engaged in reasoning". "what we saw instead was an increase in the network of emotion circuits lighting up"
"Test subjects on both sides of the political aisle reached totally biased conclusions by ignoring that which could not rationally be discounted."
"Then, with their minds made up, brain activity ceased in the areas that deal with negative emotions such as disgust. But activity spiked in the circuits involved in reward, a response similar to what addicts experience when they get a fix."
"None of the circuits involved in concious reasoning were particularly engaged."
"The study points to a lack of reason in political decision making"
"The result is that partisan beliefs are calcified, and the person can learn very little from new data."

As if this was really any surprise!

"Why don't you stick a feather up your butt (he used another word) and we'll both be tickled!"
