Does my bum look big in this (not mine)
steve m - 12/11/14 at 08:11 PM

So, I come home from work, 12 hour shift, im knackered, and wife is bla bla bla , im not listening, (as usual)
then she decides to show me, a new top she bought for a doo we HAVE to go to, and she tries it on, and asks ............................................................................................................................................

The bloody question

Do i like it , mm yes.
does it look alright , mmm yes,
does it fit me (her) mm yes,

and then the argument starts, I don't show any emotion, I don't know if it fits or not

How the F***K do I know if it makes her tits look bigger or what, and lastly

so she's not speaking to me

DO I CARE, NO!!!

so im upstairs in the spare room, (nice bed) watching what I want, and on the laptop, got a couple of beers,

Presumably you know how big her jugs normally look?


ash_hammond - 12/11/14 at 08:19 PM

I got slapped a few weeks back....

Does this skirt make my bum look big?

I replied. "No your bum makes your bum look big"

Steve, Steve, Steve!

You should have mastered this by now. Always answer quickly, firmly and positively.


SCAR - 12/11/14 at 08:23 PM

Mrs "Does my bum look big in these trousers"
Me "Your bum would look big in Australia"
No sense of humour some people

Tell her you've been offered some help to make an appropriate judgement.

We just need some pics.


snapper - 12/11/14 at 09:09 PM

I'm single (again) now
Not mastered the responses, probably never will
However it's always a leading question
You buy a woman any clothes and there is no way you will succeed
To tight your insensitive
To loose "you think I'm that fat"
The right size and the dress size will be wrong
It fits but the lable says 16 not 14 or less

Your all doomed

Except me

I'm one of the younger generation on here (33now) and regularly get myself banished to the spare room! But I do it on purpose so i can sit with a few beers and watch what I want.
I'd say remember how YOU caused this scenario and do it every time you fancy watching g something decent on the box!

just say its not the dress but all the cake a chocolate you scoffed that makes your bum look big


spiderman - 13/11/14 at 03:46 AM

If you wish to be banished to the spare room try this.

When you come home from work say ..
" Wow honey you look great, have you lost weight ? Turn around... oh no there it is.

It's when they won't fit in the car..... hilarious, very, to watch them try and squeeze the rear end in. JP (especially) didn't design the older R1oT for passengers with fat bottoms (or long legs). Westfield got the idea quickly, as have most, make it Wide, very.


steve m - 13/11/14 at 08:31 AM

Some good responses,

Ive remembered the scenario and could use it at a later "I want some me time" in the spare room

I'm not sure its possible to master the responses - I'm just glad that my GF is quite straightforward and doesn't play the "you think I'm that fat" game too much...

the general rule I go with if I don't want banished is does the item of clothing in question make you more or less inclined to rip it off her and throw it on the floor - as we all know that clothes look best on the bedroom floor

I don't think she'd want me to buy her clothes without her being there to try them on and if we do go shopping she only spend a max. of 10min in a shop (so that makes my life a bit easier) nice underwear is a different story though, but I'm not complaining about that and I know what size that is

Personally I find a technique called deflection helps in these situations...

1. Change the subject, 'hold on a minute love, I'm just going to put the kettle on', just getting changed', going to the loo...what ever to by your self some time, problem is they generally have been waiting for this very moment and won't drop the subject.

2. Be warned this needs some acting abilities, and also the ability not to take yourself seriously. As soon as they hit you with the question, throw a tantrum... 'Oh its always about you', 'you never comment on what I ware', 'life does not revolve around x y and z', or the ultimate 'you never show this much attention about my kit car' add a stamping foot just for enforcement, throw your hands in the air, and if it's works milk it for all it's worth, hand her a spanner.

Oh course it can blow up in your face and you find yourself sleeping in the shed!!!

Getting back to the car theme:
Variation on the TR7 joke when launched some Italian designer walked round it and said "Oh no They have done it to the other side as well!"
Bstd!

A friend of mine (and I really do mean someone else and not me!), when his wife asked what she was getting for Christmas replied 'fatter'. Needless to say, they are now divorced.


jollygreengiant - 13/11/14 at 11:19 AM

The problem as I see it is that you have not trained your potential wives right from the start. You should have begun with an opening line similar to that which I used. The VERY FIRST thing I ever said to my wife was :















"By god your ugly!".




Yep. that's right, took her a week to speak to me, but by then she was hooked. I just had to explain to her that the line was from Faulty Towers which was on TV at the time and I was thinking of that at the moment she turned round and looked at me while I was running through the lines of the latest program episode and its not my fault if she took it the wrong way and didn't give me a chance to explain it there and then, oh and do you fancy dating me.

The School bus has a lot to answer for.

edit bit. Oh and the other trick is NEVER EVER give a straight or honest answer. After a short time they NEVER ask those dangerous questions again because they know what answer they will get.

As a narrow westfield owner, with grp seats that a far from wide, I have seen this a few times.

Fortunately by girlfriend fits without issue, but I have several friends that have needed help getting out again or just declined to try!

I was 58 last week and been with my wife since I was 19 and I haven't been (clothes) shopping with her yet. So lots of new things still to look forward too. Only got married 3 years ago after a 30 year engagement.
Just wanted to be sure.


RK - 13/11/14 at 01:42 PM

It is a setup. Nothing you can answer will suit. Best of luck to you though!!

I heard this joke the other day which might help.


Man shaving in bathroom, wife walks in wearing new skirt.
"I'm a bit worried about this new outfit.... Do you think this makes my bum look big?"

Man, thinks for a few moments,
"Well, to be fair it is a very small bathroom"
