So how exactly do you handle a question such as...."do you think I've lost weight"? A yes answer would obviously be saying you think she was a big fat fatty before. And yes she WILL throw that in your face. A no answer would be insulting and she would assume you think she is fat! Is it a no win situation? A question or thought you would rather never hear with no real good answer? Or if you have it in your mind that a woman appears to have lost weight do you let her know? Wait for her to ask what you think? Ignore it? I was recently in this situation and was tongue tied and changed the subject. Thoughts?
If she asks, you definitely tell her that you noticed she lost weight, even if its only a small amount. She obviously has been working out and trying to make a difference and wants to hear what people think. That's why she asked. If you haven't seen her for a while and she looks like she's been working out and losing weight but doesn't bring it up, just mention that she looks great. If she has been working out but maybe not to the point she thinks others will notice, it might give her confidence to keep up the hard work. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
That is extremely easy. Women NEVER ask if you think they have lost weight without fishing for a yes. Don't make em feel like free willy before, but say youve noticed they have looked better recently and ask what they have been doing (don't feel obligated to actually listen, they just love to be asked to talk).
I just say you look great. I find this to be the best answer when it comes to the wife and her questions. Tim
You calmly say, I can't say. I've had this eye problem lately. I've been to the doc twice but have no help. Sometimes things look big and the next minute they look small. You can imagine my confusion in the shower. Check a scales.... that'll give you the answer........ unless of course your scales is broken. That happens to most scales.
From a woman's perspective.... tell her the truth. Tell her that you thought she looked great before and great now. If she pushes the issue, bring up the fact that you are glad that she is taking a proactive stance in staying healthy; and staying healthy is something you really like.
I've been here, I told her it was hard for me to tell since I see her every day and to go ask her mother. I thought I was going to get slapped but she actually said I had a point. Crisis averted.
hmmm...I was recently hit with this... "I started working out again this week and I need you to keep on me to keep going". Umm...I don't think so...this is just setting me up. If I keep on her I will get accused of thinking she is fat...I may be slow...but stupid I am not...
You can have good answers, but at the end of the day all women think they are fat. Whether they are or not. I know one that is probably 110lbs, and still thinks shes fat. So its (usually) a lose/lose for us guys, but telling them they look great is probably about the best bet.
