Not in a dating context, but recently my wife asked me if she needs to lose about 15 pounds.

I explained to her that there was absolutely no way I was going to answer that question. I went on to explain that in her mind she had already decided that she needed to lose weight. So my options were:

A) Tell her she doesn't need to lose weight. She wouldn't believe me and would think I was lying to save her feelings. End result: She continues to obsess about her weight.

B) Tell her she needs to lose weight. This would simply confirm what she had already decided. End result: She continues to obsess about her weight and I am in the doghouse.

So I told her my answer is "Blue".

- Yes, that factored into the conversation as well (it went on for about 30 minutes). Not as humorous with that part included. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:25
