Everything in my relationship was a trap so I don’t know. In a healthy relationship I assume they are asking for honesty so I figure be honest?

I believe that if bottom line focused corporations could get the same work done at 77% of the labor costs, men would not be able to find work, therefore no.1 -

That's what TV and movies will tell you but I'd rather be told if I look bad in an outfit so that I can change and then not be mortified later on
Yes, but it needs to be done tactfully. At least for me . Instead of you look fat. Say, that other dress was so slimming. Or i like the outfit or color that brings out your eyes. Imo.0 -

That's when you say, "I think the other outfit looked better on that amazing body of yours."2 -

Every body is different and some naturally have it but if you don’t you shouldn’t kill yourself to get it(thick thighs are my religion)
Ive actually read some reports that contridict the belief that there is a wage gap. Now the thigh gap...
This is the one I share with my congress critter when she or one of our two senators suggest there is a wage gap:

If there is any resistance or complaint from her when I'm being honest, I question the level of intimacy in the relationship. In a healthy relationship, if I give an honest answer, it should be accepted and praised for being honest.
In an unhealthy relationship, there is punishment for being honest.
Honest is not necessarily cruel. But dishonesty is, not to mention punishment for being honest.1 -

Yup this. Apparently in some studies they didnt take into account many major variables. Once they correctly compare similar years experience, occupation, and so on there seems to be little to no gap.0 -

Okay but did anyone ever tell you you looked like Peter Brady when you were young?
That is a new one on me.0 -

Yes, anyone can let their hair grow. It takes a real man to take a blade to your throat and shave it off.
Are we talking "blade" as in straight edge? Or, a multi-blade safety razor?0 -

That’s pretty much a no brainer...as long as it’s not a vague description of what’s needed...it has to be pretty much spelled out...with no room for interpretation. There is a lot of room for error, here...so help us help you.7 -

I grew up with a single mom and a sister and have been married(to a woman) for 3 years. I am fine with picking up tampons. Or pads. Or whatever is needed1 -
