    I told an ex that she was fat once, she said..

    "Yeah, every time I fûck your best friend he gives me a biscuit"

    What type of biscuit, this is crucial!

    Dr Christian said on superskinny v supersize that the only thing that makes you fat is food.

    So the plan is to liquidise the burgers into a drink.

    I like it! That guy is a genius.

    ah fair enough...mistakenly thought this old chestnut could do with a bit of spicing up to make it more palatable.

    Depends entirely on the context and person(I take it we're talking about women here?) involved. How they ask another. If it's "I'm feeling self conscious at the moment, feel a bit bloated and am about to hit the tiles, so do you think I'm fat?" then no bloody way do you approach the truth, or you approach it downwind. Behind some bushes. If they're asking "I need some encouragement to make a lifestyle change and want an honest answer" then yea I'd be honest with them. When I say honest I don't mean what I might see as "fat". People's perception varies quite a bit, so I'd try and aim for an average yay or nay.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    You can tell her she's fat in a tactful way, and not hurt her feelings (tooo much), but encourage her to do something about it.

    Sample answers:

    Bad: Yes you are, I'm surprised you don't need a crane to get you out of bed and a tent to cover your arse. I'd rather eat my own head than see you naked.

    Good: I wouldn't use the word fat, but I do think that you were even more attractive than you are now - if thats possible - when you were a few kilos lighter than you are now. How about we start exercising together and see if we can both tone up?

    This is one thing that really annoys me. If someone can't see they're fat, then there's something wrong with them.

    I've nothing wrong with fat people, I have a problem with people who go through life pretending they're not.

    The mindset of these people usually develops into "im not fat if there's someone fatter"

    Tell the truth. Do it for humanity :D
    but of course reinforce you couldn't give a monkeys about it :P

    woman : do these jeans make my ass look big ?
    man: no! all the pies you ate done that.

    In my experience, it's never overweight women who ask this question, it's usually those that are a) digging for compliments b) are having an episode of insecurity or c) just having a "fat day" and are probably approaching Shark Week. Genuinely overweight people know they're overweight.

    If she asks, then tell her the truth


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    The last time I was asked this I said "Only in the right places and only in the right way".

    It worked quite well. Trap avoided!

    If a fat women asks the question she already knows the answer. If that is your partner, give her the answer she wants. Lie

    If a skinny women asks the question, she's fishing for compliments. Lets play along.

    If the mrs has put on a little weight and asks the question. Grow a pair and give it to her straight

    The right answer is no, but you should realise that she is asking for a reason; she may be feeling vulnerable about an entirely different issue, so it's a sign the ball is on your side to ask about what's bothering her....and then, joy of joys, ye can talk about yere feelings! :)

    Ah women.........probably like thinking a tiger would make a great pet. Great in theory but you live in fear for the day that it turns on you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    If she wanted an honest answer she'd simply look in a mirror.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,309 ✭✭✭T-K-O


    Who ever asks is seeking reassurance that can be given without answering the original question.

    Just say curvaceous or rubenesque to their face while mouthing fat and giving the thumbs up to your friends over the person's shoulder


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭GTDolanator


    Tell her you like her curves
