Notes From A Thoughtful Husband

[KenHigg]

This is definitely a risk you take, but she won't buy the explanation you came up with and it'll make things worse. Go for self-deprication instead: "I can't believe I didn't notice until now. What's wrong with me?" followed by a follow-up compliment: "You look so beautiful." Getting frisky at that point probably won't get you sex but it'll convince her your not b.s.ing.


Oh, hell yes, ask! When you ask if she's changed something and she says no, you just follow up with, "Wow, you just look so good today I could have sworn you changed your hair (or did any other type of thing to look extra good)". This tactic is 100% guaranteed golden; if you're right you noticed something she did; if you're wrong then you're paying extra attention to her for no reason at all. Either way you're noticing her and that will make her happy. The only way you can screw this angle up is if you're obviously full of it.

Ok guys, we may have found a way to cheat here by taking Kraj's advice. Kind of like looking in the back of the book to get the answers

Kraj

You are kidding

You will be immediately accused of having an ulterior motive

You are now "in it" deeper that you would have been if you had not tried to be so clever.

Hmmm...maybe it's a UK thing. See, in the U.S. Len & Brian, women rarely step out of the house looking like a mess. They'll spend an hour getting ready to go grocery shopping. They know darn well they don't normally look like a mess, so if that's what they come back at you with, then she's just looking to pick a fight. Most U.S. women absolutely love being told they look good, no matter what the reason.

They know they don't look a mess they are merely handing you a bigger spade to dig the hole you've started.

I knew it would get back to the UK v US thing again if we waited long enough

Here we have the US stating quite clearly the UK women look a mess.

Rich over to you

Sorry Kraj, The jury is in and declared no major differences in the American women and their British counterparts...

I'm not married but what about when women mention they want to do something, then later when you bring it up make it sound like you are forcing them to do it. Whats all that about?

This is the best damn thread for weeeeeks.

The girls are either going to ignore it completely or the fur is going to fly like you won't believe

Think full combat gear could be required. that's the stuff armoured in the back as well as the front

Isn't that a contradiction?

Then I repeat my earlier statement: she's just looking to pick a fight at this point. Either oblige or refuse to say another word.

Brian

More of an oxymoron.

Being a single man, I'd say you may have stumbled upon a goldmine...

Seriously I have no idea. What does "sorry I was feeling snappy" mean? Is that what Stalin said?

Its not exactly a fight, its more subtle than that, In a fight you may stand a chance but here you are going to be massacred.
