Why ask a question that's impossible to answer.
If your even asking it your doing something wrong.

Any response you don't like just say "you are getting more like your mother when you say that"

or ask loving questions like

"you seem upset and a little puffy....are you worried about your weight?"

Even offer feedback like "gravity is not the friend of that outfit".

Try it - it works.

Man up and stand your ground. If she's wrong, she's wrong. What's the worst that could happen? :rolleyes:

I told a work colleague "Your bum makes those jeans look big" :pokenest:


I never liked her anyway.




I have been known to stand up to my wife, but on investigation, it usually turns out that my wife really was right, rather than simply believing that she was. Nowadays I just give in like every other bloke...

Haha.

I'll try these.

In swmbo's eyes Avon, dreadful boots, shampoo and hair salon appointments are fine.

My 'small' purchases however are akin to murder.

Exactly, makeup, hair appointments, weird goop creams, handbags, more than three pair of shoes at a time....these are all hobby purchases and need to be considered as such.

Drills, saws etc. are household purchases just as washing machines and hoovers are.

In a philosophical vein;
If a man says something in a forest and there is no woman there to hear him
Will he still be wrong? :banghead:

Ahem ! :rolleyes: and today HWMBLT bought two new silicon spatulas and I bought a new trowel and a cold chisel :rolleyes:
I think of them all as household purchases, but I still buy a different deodourant and shampoo for each of us :D
The last handbag I bought was a black response pak :D Himself got a new North Face daypack.
Shoes however are a necessity....flats, medium and high, boots, shoes, sandals, dressy and working, in at least eight different colours each :D :D
The biggest issue between the sexes is why supposedly intelligent men cannot understand this :rolleyes:
