I just walked out into my common area to heat up some water in the microwave when I come upon this girl that lives on my floor viewing her new dress in the mirror. She looks at me and says "What do you think?" I respond with "Hey, doesn't look bad" with a smile of sincereness/you look good. She just looks at me and then stomps out of the room saying "you all say the wrong things."

 

Uh, not bad = good, right?

I have found through my studies, that there is no correct answer to any question involving a girls appearance, avoid this at all costs. Just refrain from responding entirely.

Best advice ever.

 

She probably already had it in her mind she didn't like it, and no matter what you said, it was going to be wrong.

That or I remove the mirror from the common room.

 

Advice noted, though.

Bad situation to be in. Next time drop down to prone and call for support!

You'll learn more as you go, but I as a husband with a wonderful wife do venture to make an honest comment.

 

First you know it isn't your thing and don't take offense to it, she probably was just looking for someone to justify her decision already. But whatever. If you like the dress (or whatever) just say so but do have a reason. .

 

Oh yes, and women are just like this.

 

If this happens to often become synical and say. "For a funeral dress." At least you'll be happy. LOL.

But they ask for honesty, he gave it to her, and she didn't like it. I bet if he lied and said, "omg thats the hottest dress ever, you're a model", she would have been pleased. See women want the truth, but they can't always handle it, lol.

First mistake "Hey, doesn't look bad" you don't say that, because it makes her think oh great what's wrong with it. If you have no choice in giving an answer say It looks good, and try too compliment the dress example that colour looks good one you. The best way is to tell them (well most girls) what they want to hear. But I'm like that, if I asked a guy "What do you think?" I don't get mad or upset if they say "doesn't look bad."

instead of 'hey it doesnt look bad', you should have said, 'hey id molest a penguin wearing that.'

 

because anything involving penguins is most definately the right answer.

So do you like this top?

Yes I do

Are you just saying that?

No, why?

Because it seems like you are just saying that so we can get out of this store now.

No, no it's good.

Ya whatever.

 

That is the convo I usually have when shopping or watching the wife model some clothes. LOL.

If they need to be praised so much about their appearance then damn give up already.

I get dressed to go out and I know I look good so I don't even ask.

Klink you always look good

Wow, I actually laughed out loud at that. Startled my roomate.

 

All of this advice is duly noted. I'll print it out and next time I come upon this situation, I'll refer to it.

that penguin stuff was hilarious. lol

sharp just keep ur mouth shut and offer her some of that boiled water from the microwave then when she takes the cup slowly walk outta the room, get to ur dormroom and lock ur door. hide under ur bed and pray for a miracle.

I always found that, when confronted with a question involving a woman's appearance, you should be as absolutely neutral about it as possible. A few things to keep in mind:

1. You know you don't care about how she looks. Girls can't figure that out. Yes, it is good to look nice, but I can 100% guarantee you that more often than not, the guy honestly really doesn't give a damn.

2. No matter what you say, you are going to get a negative response, example:

a. Female: "How do I look in this?"

a. Male: "Absolutely stunning!"

a. Female: "You are just saying that to make me feel better!"

a. Male: While refraining from leaping at her with your knife you keep handy in your boot, you sincerely say "No, I really do think you look great."

a. Female: Shying away, obviously not content with the situation, "Well, thanks for the compliment."

 

Example B:

b. Female: "Does this dress make me look fat?"

b. Male: "Yes."

b. Female: "You shallow pig! You are sleeping on the couch tonight!"

b. Male: "Does that mean you will shut up so I can watch the football game dear?"

b. Female: Storms out of room screaming profanities and wondering aloud why she got with you in the first place.

 

It's a lose-lose situation either way. It is just a matter of how extreme the lose is. Unless you are fortunate to be around a girl not so unstable about her appearance, you will get that question, and similar responses every time.

 

Best advice: Respond to that question with a question (In other words, ignore everything else I have typed up to this point), such as "How do you think it looks?", or "Where did you get it from?", or (my personal favorite) play the ignorant bystander and say "Whuh?". Of course if you are trying to have a relationship with said female, then, answer her question with a question related to her question, but will change the topic, so she completely forgets about her appearance.

 

My 17 cents.

Doesn't look bad - they usually say that to a guy who's mortally wounded bleeding profusely.

Doesn't look bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO wrong answer. You should say that the dress color looks good on her or something like that. But, look at it this way, why would a woman ask a complete stranger how a dress looks on her? Normally you ask your mate or friend, but not a stranger. So, really she got what she asked for. Too bad she didn't like the answer. lol

WORD CHOICE WITH WOMEN IS VERY IMPORTANT.

 

You are not mad. Just upset.

 

Do they look good? Yes the dress looks Great. Not fine, OK, or other.

 

Word choice is important.

 

But it sounds like she likes you in a typical female way.

come to think of it....

 

you should have said "well I came down here to heat some water up - now I don't need the microwave" "How bout we take the dress on a test run at dinner tonight?" "You'll save me from my mac and cheese!"

What Merc said too. But dont be as corny or use my name.

LOL. Now that's genius.

"How bout we take the dress on a test run at dinner tonight?"

That is one of the most awesome things I have ever heard.

like Tiger and Wolfey said you big mistake was is in what you said, when you said "hey, doesn't look bad" saying that you also inplied it doesn't look good. Telling any girl she looks good, no matter what, should be automatic by now man!

Very first thing that popped into my head would be "Yeah it really compliments your eyes". I find that eyes are usually the safest route.

just tell her that sh looks stellar

I say only one thing: Women are the greatest mystery in the universe
