After being married for thirty years, a wife asked her husband to describe her. He looked at her carefully, then said, "You are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K." "What does that mean?" she asked suspiciously. He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous and Hot!" She beamed at him happily and said: "Oh, that's so lovely! But what about I, J and K?" "I'm Just Kidding!" (The swelling in his eye is going down and the doctors are fairly optimistic about saving his genitals).
lol boys boys,, women can't be honest with you about some stuff either =) its a two way street which is why its funny
lol I'm pretty straight forward in my communications and there are thing, personal things I NEVER say flat out to other people as I consider it rude. e.g. commenting on personal appearance. I might tell someone they smell a bit ripe, but never tell them they stink. Its a difference in tactful civilized behavior and needing to be right about what you are saying. There are some uses for civilized behavior. IF everyone carried guns and swords, civility would be more important even. JMO
@stg58 I also have been married 40+ Years.... And I do not think I could live thru finding that out... One way or the other....
One thing my mother always told me, never criticise your wife's cooking, always tell her it was good. For a while I tried to follow her advise, wife didn't like it, she told me, 'if you don't like what I fix, tell me' she wanted honesty in the kitchen. One thing I learned was, mother's don't always give the best advise. Oh, 40+ years of marriage. The other thing I never mention is waistline, if she mentions she needs to loose a few pounds, I don't say anything that would bring down any wrath on me. Just tell her, she looks fine.
I'm that way about my cooking. I won't get better if all I get are niceties and platitudes. Oh and do these jeans make my butt look big?
