Okay so that is the question every female asks to their husbnad/boyfriend/male friend. Ladies, jsut don't ask it. Guys, don't respond. For one for one of those "Learn from their experience" stories, here is one I experienced the rath of today. So my mom comes into the kitchen in a pissy mood. My stepdad asks, "what's wrong, Judithe." In reply, my mother says, "I wasted so much money on friday. I look fat in everything." Well if you were my stepdad you would have known not to respond, but of course my stepdad has no common sense and replies by saying, "you look fine in what your wearing." If he was smart, he would not have said that because my mom shot back, "This isn't new! I have worn this same fucking jeans with this same fucking white shirt for the past three years!" Well then, trying to comfort a distressed woman my stepdad said, "But you look fine in that." Well my mother storms away. And being the innocent and quite clueless bystander I am, "I ask what was that about?" My stepdad tells me this story that made me think, well, DUH! So he says, "She tried on something she bought and asked if she looked fat in it. And for the first time since we've been married, I said yes." Him saying that alone made me realize he is only book smart, he has no common sense. Anyone with common sense would have either been quiet and said something like, "It doesn't flatter you as much as something flowy (or something along those lines)."

So a word of advise again to all you ladier out there, never ask a guy if you look fat in something. And guys, don't flatly say, "Yes." That is about the worse thing you could do to yourselves. This story also confirms my beliefs that my stepdad is an asshole. And not only to not only me, but now my mother.
