How not to handle that notorious question.

[minendo]

The woman just walked into the room and asked me if I could provide her with a truthful answer. Of course, the question was "Have I gotten fat since we started dating?"

How do I respond? "Yes, you have puffed up like a balloon."

 

[Ryan]

NO, not really - but you do look much sexier now rawr

 

[BaboonGuy]

"Wait I thought you were pregnant... with triplets."

 

[Beau]

And I suppose you're referring to your ex now?

lol minendo.

Reply with, "I dont take note of things like that, you will always be sexay to me, and on a sidenote no you havnt gotten fat "

Tell her that you've gotten thinner and she only thinks she's fat by comparison.

 

[Tetsuo]

I've said yes to that question...

 

[Jhill]

SAY NO, Obese, not fat.

 

[shimsham]

No, that is wrong.

1) No, you are not fat = Yes, you are too ugly but I want to live.
2) Yes, you have gained weight = Damn, you are such fat@ss, when you walk down the street, people go "DAMNIT, that's a big fat @SS!"

Honesty is the best answer...

From my experience, women ask that question for a variety of subversive reasons...usually, women use that question to try to quell guilt because they are getting fat -or- they are getting fat and are using that question to impinge guilt on you for noticing that they getting fatter.

My wife never asks me that question...she's pretty no nonsense...she knows if she wants to stay slim she's has to eat healthy and get copious amounts of excercise. And BTW...my wife is HOT!

On another note, I had women get totally pised at me for answering yes. They say, "The correct answer is 'no, you look great...' yada yada. Well, I tell them, that would be untrue..you want me to lie to you about everything else?

If you think you've gained weight, hop on the scale...then get off your butt and get in the gym and adopt some sport.

"No honey, you look great! But.. I got us both these memberships at the fitness club because I think it's a great idea for us to stay healthy and feel great about ourselves..." (or some such variation)

You're not fat, you're Oprah-rific!

gf: I'm fat!
me: no you're not
gf: but I have fat rolls!
me: that's because you're sitting down
gf: see? you agree!
me: you're not fat
gf: I should lose some weight
me: okay then, eat healtheir and do more ab exercises
gf: you think I'm fat!

I cant win...

"No honney you only have a little junk in the trunk, here I bought you a year membership to the gym."

My wife askes me this all the time and I say NO! But she really isn't since she is an exercise freak!

 

[DurocShark]

Whenever mine brings up the subject (remember she had a baby 3 mos ago, and is breast feeding, so she's staying bigger than she did with our son) I just change the subject to...

"You think YOU'RE fat? Look at THIS GUT!" LoL Works every time.

True. That's why I eat those extra donuts, if it avoids one fight, well, it's worth it.

lol. true. the key thing to understand is that she's not looking for a solution, she's looking for some esteem (usually). It does get boring after a while. And I don't understand why they keep asking. Personally I can look in the mirror and judge with some accuracy whether or not I've gained weight. BAH to the notorious setup.

 

[MegaloManiaK]

Well, since you said how NOT to handle the question.

I would say "Biotch, go make me a sandwich" would be a great way NOT to handle it.

Lie through your teeth. God will forgive you

Rock on, Minendo! :beer:

I stopped walking on eggshells w/this question six months before I FINALLY dumped my GF back in June.

Her: You never want to spend time with me anymore...we don't even have sex anymore...you used to jump my bones every time you saw me!

Me: There used to be a lot less of you to jump.

Her: That's fcking mean.

Me: You're fcking fat. What can I tell you, honey? I've never lied to you; why start now?

Her: You could've told me you thought I was gaining weight.

Me: You've had to buy three new sets of clothes in the past year; each new set two sized bigger than before. You didn't notice this? It didn't click "WARNING!" in your little brain?

Her: *tears*

Me: I'm going for a drive. *slams door* :disgust:

I got tired of that sh1t, Minendo. Real tired. My next GF will be thin to start with; not built like a Brick Schoolhouse to begin with.

I'm older and wiser now. I like 'em with big boobs and a round booty; more to play with. The problem is that the equation sums up like this:

Brick Schoolhouse now + time = fatass girlfriend.

Alternatively:

Thin, athletic type now + time = maybe brick schoolhouse later.

I told her to get her ass to the gym. She went. For a week. I told her watch what she eats. She did. She watched it go from the plate to her mouth.

Any skinny girls out there want a real man? PM me. As long as you have boobs of some sort, we can work it out.
