Does this dress make me look fat?
Ahhh.....this is the epitome of how not to lie because of how the question is framed and not hurt feelings. If a person is trim, then the answer should be no....not a lie. If the person is overweight than no is still not a lie. Its not the dress that makes you look fat.....its the fat that makes you look fat. The dress is not the culprit. But only an assh*le would answer like that.
Of course i do not mean you personally. I have not only never seen you in a dress, i think i have barely seen your face.....😁
That’s likely better than my answer a question with a question approach 😂
It is a better rationalization & I think it's correct
My belief is that honesty is not always the best policy. Sometimes you should keep that *kitten* to yourself😁
Out of love of course0 -

I learned that you shouldn't go through the self checkout if they're not working. Now I have to go back tomorrow and try to explain how I got out of the store with them on my swimsuit.
Just bring your receipt. That should be all the explanation they need0 -

In that case I would agree - but as far particular things you want from a partner I believe honesty is best - even it pushes them away - just means they not your person nah I’m sayin - we or at least I and too old to be settling out of convenience0 -

I am someone who has been accused of being too truthful. And I've had to learn that partial truths are not always deception. I don't need to give a dissertation to explain every point and angle like I'm doing here. 😂
I have a deep desire to be understood by my close friends and that together with having a strong moral leaning toward exactitude & truthfulness has sometimes muddied the waters.

Also for ME the correct answer would depend on who I had asked.
If I asked my sister I would expect a careful honest objective opinion carefully worded so that it's about whether or not the clothing flatters me and not whether or not my body is right or wrong.
If I asked a lover I would expect, "Baby, I love your body. Come here."1 -

My lesson learned- I would have told myself not to have taken the ‘safer’ route.
