Today I had one of those with a coworker. We were talking and she said one of her friends always says "I like my women like my coffee, hot and black", so without thinking too much I respond with "I like my women like my cottage cheese, chunky and white". We sat in silence for a few after that one.

Oh and no I don't like my women chunky and white, white sure but not chunky :p

I think someone just admitted they're a chub chaser. :Q

i thought "chub, was short for a hard on? if so :shocked:

Or a to describe having a fetish for the plus size folks


hehe. **plus size** hehe.

I'm not that smooth bro.

Maybe she will be a frequent customer and you will get another chance... or perhaps you scarred her and she will go somewhere else for her coffee needs.

isnt this totally a guy rule? how could you have broken guy rule 12, article 13, note a: Never under any circumstances should one assume a women is pregnant. If you think she is, she is not, never mention anything about it unless someone else has confirmed said pregnancy within the last 15 minutes.

You must be new to this, make sure you brush up on your rulebook.

Very cute but has a bulge.

So charmingly I congratulate her on her pregnancy and ask how many months and she tells me that she isn't pregnant.

I thought I've learned this lesson when I did the same thing when I met my current gf. Sigh.

I never ask about a woman's pregnancy, especially someone I do not know (There are exceptions: I have, in the past, asked my wife and my sister-in-law about their pregnancies)

I also never ask how someone's parent/sibling/spouse is doing unless I am sure they are still alive (and even then, I may not ask).

Talk about the weather instead - it's safer.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging
from her at that moment."

No problem. I'll just go to the one across the street then and make the same mistake. Apparently there's over 200 stores in the 5 mile radius. heh.

Sounds like a Patrick Bateman quote.

Here's the whole thing:

"16 THINGS THAT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN - By Dave Barry

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on
the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has
not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be
"meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never
want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6 Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging
from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to
make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that deep down
inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice
person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur
built the ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

16. Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes , and it's up to
women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something
acceptable to have dinner with."

But it only takes one incident for it to sink in.
Or, there are those of us who will learn from someone else's mistakes. ;)

It was a bit of a bad call. I just carried on my way as if nothing happened. I'm sure this wasn't her first time either.

Yeah, it probably was her first time hearing that. She's likely crying and eating ice cream at this very moment. Generally people understand that you never suggest a woman is pregnant in anything you say or do. Even if she was obviously pregnant, there's no reason to have that be part of your "hello" or any sort of polite conversation. It may be obvious, but that's personal business, and folks don't usually launch right into it from hello.

When in doubt, always assume fat, not preggo.

So, we're supposed to ask how long have you been fat and then it's okay?
