was ibu to fall for this old trick?i know i was

[mayorquimby]

she asks "if there was one thing you could change about me what would it be?"

i reply "nothing" of course.i'm not an idiot i know what's happening and i aint falling for it.

she goes "no seriously,what would it be.if i could change something about you it would be x"

so now i think i'm in the clear se's said something so she can't get mad. so go " fair enough i'd change Y"

se gets upset.apparently hers was constructive, mine was just mean.

so how do you women do it?i could see the set up coming a mile away.i thought i was well prepared.thought i was in the clear.and yet i still fell for it.

don't know why my H keeps dropping form she and appearing as "se"

sorry

Hard to say without knowing what x and y were!

we really need to know what Y was

Its a noationwide cunning conspiricy to wrong foot men so we can take over the world!!!

i know. i know. i know.
my head was saying all these things "don't fall for it, you know what's coming, you know it's going to end in tears, she's much much smarter than you and there's no way this is going to end well"

but my mouth just started moving.

It depends what you both said. If she said " I would like you to wear the colour blue more often as it enhances your lovely eyes" and you replied "you need a boob job and alot of liposuction" then I can understand why she would be pissed off.

We really need more info before we judge, so come on, spill.

they were fairly comparable. hers was in reference to my staggeringly brilliant rock godesque beard.
mine was in reference to two small hairs which are only noticabe to me (or anyone else she may be getting close to but we won't go there )

nooooooooooooo you didnt mention she has a tash or nostril hair, did you?

"It depends what you both said. If she said " I would like you to wear the colour blue more often as it enhances your lovely eyes" and you replied "you need a boob job and alot of liposuction" then I can understand why she would be pissed off.

ha ha.
a)i'd never say that.
b)if i did id never come on here looking for support of my views as i'd fear a nationwide cyber track down which would culminate in the forcable removal of my nuts.

sounds like a fair exchange.

(cut them off whilst she is asleep).

Women ask these things when they are feeling insecure about themselves.

As a woman I don't advise not answering as we have more patience than you and we will only keep asking.

I'd advise saying something nice like "I'd change how much time you spend relaxing with me as I miss you"

nooo i did not. their are just two black hairs which i could only describe as random body hair on her shoulder,which kinda freak me out from time to time. she does not, REPEAT DOES NOT HAVE A TACHE. in casen you can't tell i have a healthy fear of whatshe'd do to me if i ever implied she did have one. which she does not, she has lovely hairless skin

I think you could have given a correct answer

she says 'i dont like your beard'

you reply saying you dont like something particular about her personal apearance, obvoiusly, cos its on par isnt it. You were on to a looser as soon as she said 'i dont like your beard'

pay attention next time, dont reply, DONT REPLY

or say something like 'i dont like the way you rub your gorgeous blue eyes when your tired'

Men, dont know anything do they

Should have said - i dont think you could have given a correct answer

Tsk tsk.
I suggest spending more time with your kids. You will then learn the womanly skills of deflecting by distration.

Oooh, look. I can see a fire engine.

"Men, dont know anything do they"

nope we're useess.
lesson learned

distraction

this thread has made my day just that little bit brighter

poor you, mayorquimby. Remember, there are only 4 things you men can do wrong:
i) something you've said
ii) something you haven't said
iii) something you've done
iv) something you haven't done

see, it's quite simple really

well i tried to go for the most innocuos not get me into more trouble answer i could think of. so i thought two hairs that no one else can see and says nothing disparaging about her weight,personality,taste in shit movies,taste in shit tv,etc would be the least contentious.
so said "well if i had to change something i suppose i'd pluck those two hairs as they just look out of place" also thinking that
a)it's so small and takes 10 seconds to do she would be glad that the only thing i would change is within her power to change in the next minute if she so chooses to do
b)she might actually pluck the two vile bastards

Beards are fair game, aren't they??? My DH keeps threatening to grow a beard or a moustache and I've told him that I would shave it off in his sleep if he dared do that!
