Should I have lied?

    So my OH asked me if I thought I was better looking than her, I gave her the honest answer which was that I believe I am better looking. The thought of lying just felt dirty, and not in a good way.

    She then said that I should have lied.

    So would you tell the truth in that situation?

    Fair play. She should be happy a virile stud like you even settled for her in the first place, to be honest.

    Well she sounds lovely. That was always going to end well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Wait, so she wanted you to say that You are uglier than her to make her feel better? Fcuk that. Don't ask questions you don't want an honest answer to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,609 ✭✭✭stoneill


    And I heard that you are an ugly cnut too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭kwestfan08

    Why would she even ask you that? one of you was bound to feel crap after, it backfired on her:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭Vincent Vega


    It's a pretty stupid question, and it'd make you wonder what intentions she had in asking something like that.

    So I think it's good that she didn't like your response.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,930 ✭✭✭Jimoslimos


    No you shouldn't have lied. Although if you you do feel like lying further may I suggest here for tips.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,190 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Logically if she's upset that you think you're more attractive, then what that means is that she thinks you look like a horse's arse and is upset because you think she's even uglier than that.

    If you were an actual Adonis, then she can't be that upset.

    Anyway, you failed this one OP. Never mind, you'll get it right with the next girlfriend.

    Pics or GTFO surely. I want to be able to judge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,804 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    She sounds like an insecure pain in the hole.

    Any pics?

    Stupid question. I'd never ask my OH that. I tell him I'm more attractive. #stunnah4life

    Her
    Do these jeans make my bum look big ?

    Me
    You mean the less than a millimetre thick fabric on them skin tight jeans ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    The correct answer was to tell her she's gorgeous, regardless of whether or not she is. She's not going to forget this and you are going to pay for that careless answer in oh so many ways, not good ways:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,798 ✭✭✭Mr. Incognito


    Beauty is only skin deep.

    Stupid goes to the bone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Butterface


    While I think I probably would have massaged the truth a little by saying "we are both super hot blah blah blah", she definitely had some motive by asking that in the first place.

    Either she's super insecure, or she asked the question because she noticed how much time you spend looking at yourself in the mirror!!

    Tell the truth OP, you'd rather look at yourself naked than at your girlfriend..

    I'm sorry but that's hilarious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,093 ✭✭✭fineso.mom


    Aww thanks. Now I don't feel so bad. Proof that lying is sometimes the right thing to do! I think I know what I did wrong now,but I've forgotten the witty answer. Oh well maybe next time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    Why would anyone ask a question like that? Silly woman will never know if anybody is being sincere to her on any subject


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23

    Better make sure there's Ben and Jerry's in the freezer before you do that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,153 ✭✭✭Shakti


    Perhaps she was merely seeking confirmation of your own narcissism, too late now to make her a cuppa and stroke her cheek softly and deepen the bonds of love and respect,

    No way, he'd never find anything other than his reflection that'd put up with him! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,094 ✭✭✭SamAK


    What a retarded question.

    Who the hell are either of you to judge? Attractive relative to what? An ant-eater? A blobfish?

    The mind boggles....if it had been me in that situation I would have laughed long and hard and told her to cop on.

    You definitely should have told her the truth. You shoud even gone further and said "I'm also smarter than you cause i'd never ask such a monumentally stupid question".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭Angry_Mammarys


    And also you should of asked her why was she getting so upset,that she should be happy she's punching above her weight :)

    She asked because she thinks she's so much better looking than you that you'd immediately acknowledge it as an objective fact.
    She sounds lovely...
    Tell her you also think you're a nicer person than her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    You should have been more honest. You should have scoffed loudly and said "Are serious? You're trying to compare yourself to me? Not a chance love, make me a sandwich!"

    I'm not even joking slightly joking ... no seriously, I'm not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,740 ✭✭✭Mousewar


    Jeez, we all get insecure sometimes. Looks are often a bigger deal for women because they're often (sadly) judged more for them.
    In short, of course you should have lied! Lie like crazy.

    I can confirm I remain in good health and I am a male.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭lm01


    Pretty sure there was an article about this in the Daily Mail this week which was probably what gave her the idea, so I wouldn't get too worked up about wondering what prompted her to ask.

    A bit of fudging might have been better than the bald truth, but it's out now and there's nothing you can really do about it. She shouldn't have asked such a flat question if she didn't want a flat answer.

    Taking a Daily Fail article seriously and impinging that on a partner? That right there folks is far more breakup material than the OP's response.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭lm01


    There wasn't much to take seriously, really.

    Not sure what the point of the article even was...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,094 ✭✭✭SamAK


    Aren't we all forgetting that looks are completely subjective anyway!!?

    I for one don't think much of Mila Kunis, even though loads of people were raving on about her a while back. She looks like a Pixie.

    Not that i'd say no, but when you know for a fact that you can't have something, it's very easy to have an opinion (There's a word to describe that, but I can't think of it!)

    And, Uma Thurman. Some may say her nose is too big and she doesn't have what might be considered as 'conventional' good looks....but OMG, yes please.

    AND, the majority of cat-walk models, super or otherwise, aren't pretty or gorgeous in a traditional sense.

    These are my opinions, so please don't get upset :)
