ADHD here, itâs one of two. The other is to guess bottom surgery/sex reassignment to teach her what sort of prizes she can expect from playing stupid games. Yeah youâre burning that bridge, but thatâs a bridge worth burning
Do the following:
First, say something along the lines of: "That is very difficult. On the one hand, you are so astonishingly beautiful that all features of you could be made by a master craftsman. On the other hand, as I am a person of faith, you could also be just God's most perfect creation.
Either way, would you excuse me a second while I go to refresh in the bathroom?"
Then you sneak out of the bathroom window because by the glorious lord Satan himself, you do not want to be in a relationship with someone who insists you do something after you refuse
"that is very difficult, one the one hand you are so astonishingly beautiful that all features of you could be made by a master craftsmanship, on the other hand, as I am a person of faith, you could also be just God's most perfect creation.
Either way, would you excuse me a second while I go to refresh in the bathroom?"
Human tails are kind of a thing and doctors do remove them. But it's not a glorious tiger tail or anything, it's like a stub, it's an outgrowth of the coccyx, which is literally a vestigial tail.
Ehh for some it's natural to understand, for some it's learned, for some it's off the radar completely.
Asking for compliments is fine but people are insecure so they do it indirectly.
"How do you like this dress/these pants/this whatever" would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them. But they would be uncomfortable with asking, "can you compliment this ..."
You're right that it's not communication. It's super taxing for me as i'm in the learned group edging on off the radar(i naturally interpret teasing as bullying). So i just try to compliment people regularly at least once every time i spend time with them to make up for it. More on dates and in relationships.
It can depend on the person so it's a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I'm speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.
Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you're being an incessant little dictator?
How do you like this dress/these pants/this whateverâ would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them.
I am 42 years old, married for 15 years, together with my wife for >23 years. And this is the first time I realize that she doesn't really mean the clothing but is fishing for a compliment. It never occurred to me, and it seriously is blowing my mind.
Edit: rotfl, all the occasions she asked me this kind of question suddenly make sense. Damn, I think I have to apologize.
Lol took me until my 30's. This is the problem with modern masculinity, we are not taught about social norms. So those of us who have trouble with them struggle. In any case, I hope you and your wife are better for the realization!
Insist, not to pick something then. You can easily explain that it's a lose-lose: either something is wrong with a natural body part or they didn't do a good job. And both of you feel bad afterwards.
âOooh, I donât know. Maaaaybeee your lips, because I canât stop looking at them. But if you did, then your doctor is really good.â
Deliver it light and kind of flirty and sheâs not thinking about whatever trap that question is, sheâs thinking about how you just told her you want to kiss her.
If itâs for any other reason - making sure an insecurity is unknown, wanting to springboard into a conversation, wanting to see how you react if she baits you into saying something dumb, or even having her own flirty line to deliver about it - sheâll probably get to it. Assuming you havenât wooed her into a voracious make out session.
"Honestly? You look so naturally beautiful I couldn't begin to guess. But if I had to, I'd say your most captivating thing about you is your eyes. Are they the real deal or someone fashion them from starlight?"
Iâd say something dumb like, âWhy would you only have work done on one breast, thatâs weird.â Though I guess thereâs situations with breast cancer and mastectomies and such, but plastic surgery on boobs would be my immediate first guess, not even considering what else might be done.
(I have another response.)
Lean away, give her a long look, and gaze deep into her eyes. Tilt your head slightly to the side.
ââŠ. dad?â
In the stunned silence, because she never expected you to be right, tell her that you didnât think you would see her again after she disappeared on her way to get cigarettes all those years ago.
And then put your hand on her thigh and say âIâve missed you daddyâ with wide eyes.
If they had work done, they might not be "naturally" beautiful. Probable better to just say "No, I don't believe you. You don't look like you had any work done."
For anyone scrolling far enough to read this, all of the correct answers for this, follow the same formula. Statement about how you cannot tell leading into a compliment about their looks.
This can be reversed, complimenting they're looks, and lead into that it is impossible to tell.
Unless she looks like the wicked witch of the west, like one girl I knew. She had surgery at some point, and I only knew her after that happened. I am not exaggerating with that reference.
Bluntly, I couldn't have cared less. Things didn't work out for completely unrelated reasons.
I wasn't going to say anything. but you asked. yeah Jessica. it looks like you got dragged behind a 4 wheeler for a mile and the EMT's shoved a fucking saddle horn into your skull to stop the bleeding.
"I thought you looked beautiful before, I think you look beautiful now, honestly I can't tell" or if not recent "dunno, all your features look perfect to me, so I could never choose, your eyes are my favorite"
