Don't get me wrong CE, I will ask as well....but in my experience, some women will take the answer, the wrong way. And call it a failing on the part of men maybe, but anything we say after that...doesn't make the situation better.

I know Weasel, and believe me - those are the women you want to avoid!

Think about it:

Your partner, whom you should be really close to, asks you a loaded question that means something else than it actually is worded. No matter what you reply, your partner will not like it. I don't know what the person is looking for, but it is not a sincere anwer.
IMO that is pretty damn manipulative, and manipulative people are the worst kind. Honestly, I am totally fed up with people who can't say what they want and who need to use implicit communication that other's are supposed to read in a telepathic way instead of being able to stand for what they want.

Sorry for the rant, this kind of topic just annoys me.

hmmm, i've never asked anybody if i look fat. although i probly do need to lose some weight

It will come at a different time for most men.

At 18 it will hardly be thought about, but once 25 hits and the stairs start taking a little more to climb, you will look for the problem. Weight enters the picture then.

Annoying it is. But I figured I did owe you an explaination. I do kid around a lot and want to be sure you knew I was kidding.

25? kinda young for getting fat methinks

I know Weasel, don't worry about yourself, what annoys me are the people who do this kind of crap.

sounds like CE has bad experience with loaded questions...

Anyway, back to topic.

@Logic: Please refrain from posting those posts with just a few words in every single thread - use the bar threads if you feel like spamming. Thank you.

Yeah, me too. Did I tell you about when I was to make some coffee first time I visited my now husband? I set his coffee machine on fire and all plastic parts of course melted, so we had to go out for coffee.

All clmbing start somewhere...Scotland is fab for climbing Closest mountain to you I've climbed is Mt Cook - soloed Talk about stupid things you've done

lol That must have impressed him no end. Would I be right in assuming Silur is your hubby?

I can see myself taking up climbing later in life, it's one of the few forms of exersize I don't get bored with...
And, for an untrained, slightly unfit person I'm pretty good at it.

concerning 'Do I look fat in this?'

Just has to look around for a few seconds, as if one had not heard said question, and then either say 'Wow, you look great!' or 'You know I really love you'. In the former instance, if she is slightly annoyed that you just ignored her, she will not be able to do anything about it -
'So do I look fat or not?!'
'I Just said you looked great...Jeez, sometimes I wonder if you even listen to a single word I say '

In the latter instance -
'So do I look fat or not?'
'Honey, didn't you hear me? I just said I love you...Jeez, I sometimes wonder if you listen to a single word I say ' '

*evil laughter*

You may have found the answer to a question that has plagued mankind for decades, @Frogus.

The only "answer" I could believe would not result in bodily harm is "Do you want to marry me?". This question is known to instantaneously block all external information to the woman's brain, and will make her forget all that passed in the last five minutes in a flow of tears and "Yes, yes". If you are already married, you should fake a heart attack and pray it works.
If you answer promptly "No", she will rationalize (don't know if this word is appropriate to what we are talking here) "He said it too quickly, so he didn't mean it, so he thinks I'm fat, so he does not love me." and will hit you in the head.
If you answer "No" after looking to her a few seconds, she will rationalize (again I don't know if this word is appropriate to what we are talking here) "He had to look to me before, so he was in doubt about it, so he thinks I can be fat, so he does not love me." and will hit you in the head.
If you answer "I love you the way you are", you are pudding.

Glad to be of service: Next, the meaning of life, followed by how they get those ships into little bottles.

most stuipd thing i've done on gambanshee in the three days i've been here: posted buck satan's real name without approval.

All my dumb stories involve beer.

The dumbest has to be pushing a chum down Covent Garden in a shopping trolley, drunk as a skunk, on my 21st birthday.

Coven Garden has cobblestones. I didn't think we could bleed that much. In addition, the top of my finger actually grew back and I'll never be shocked at seeing other people with dried blood on them late at night on the underground.

once

Once I was in such a hurry to get to school that I ran out my front door, reached into my pocket to check for my wallet (In which I lowerd my head) turned the corner by the garage.... ran HEAD FIRST INTO THE CORNER OF A CLOSING HEAVY OLD STYLE garage door....


lets just say a concussion and about 10 stitches int he forhead later... i was late to class...


I had a lot of blood from that one too, man head wounds bleeeed.



thug

I accidentally touched the negative power lead in a 400W computer power supply while it was still plugged into the mains.

Had to sit down for a while after that (about 2 days).

That actually reminds me of something my cousin did once...

Living on a farm, we had a tractor agricultural/equipment shed.

Going inside, he walked into one of the tractors, banged his head. He knocked himself out and get to get eight stitches.

The tractor wasn't even MOVING, it was parked there and he still walked into it....



Then there was that time I was crawling under a wire fence to see if I could fit through the hole and get onto this neighbor's private property with my friend.

We got through, but then our neighbor came out. We had to dash back under the fence, a as I did, the wire scalped a treak into my head.

18 stitches. Had to get a blood transfusion. Owie....

Only me.
