I was chilling with a friend and his gf for the first time and she was on her facebook and asked her bf if this girl was "hot". My friend was a bit confused and asked her " do you want my honest opinion or you want me to lie?" I lol insided. Another occasion another friend was telling me how his girl would ask him if this certain girl was hot or beautiful. My friend would tell me he felt that that question only brought problems to the relatioship since he knew which ever answer she might not be happy with.... so why do GF ask this??
To get an idea of what her boyfriend thinks is beautiful. Women seem to be programmed to be self-conscious or insecure.
because women want their boyfriends to turn to them and say "she's alright, but nothing compared to you."
It is not done with the thought of self improvement. It is insecurity. Never answer this question as no matter how you do, you are going to be in trouble.
because women are insecure and some need a man to set a standard of beauty to compare themselves against. it's a fairly standard exercise in self-loathing
Bingo! Yes, as others have said, never answer that question. Also never answer the question "Do I look fat?" or any other self-deprecating question. You can't win no matter how you answer. BTW, I've seen all these scenarios played out on Two and a Half Men... I loved that Geico commercial with Abraham Lincoln's wife asking him if a dress made her look fat... Honest Abe pauses and she takes it for a yes and gets pissed off.
"Who? I only see one woman here." "I guess so, if you like that type." "No thanks, I've no reason to upgrade." "Who, the one with the stretch marks?" "Perhaps, but I bet her mother's a real bitch." "OK. You pick a hot girl, I'll pick a hot guy and we'll get them together."
Its usually a very loaded question. If the guy says she's not hot, the woman will ask "why not?" if he says she is hot, she might get offended, jealous, or observe or ask why the woman is hot. If he says "not as hot as you" the woman will either be satisfied that her ego has been stroked, or she'll see this as a stupid attempt at flattery.
but women always say that want honesty in a relationship more than anything. If she asks what you think of Jessica Alba, and you tell her she has 'nothing on you'- whether she believes this has more to do with how insane your girlfriend is rather than how beautiful she is. Most normal women would know it was a lie, so why ask? "I am ugly... actually no, just kidding. Sucks to be you"
I never lie to my wife, first off. But if she asks me a question like that I just say, "You know what you're doing. Stop."
THANK YOU. Right answer. I caught myself doing this a couple of times, and I can really appreciate an answer like this. It's really sad, because women ARE raised to hate themselves: be thin, do their make-up, etc. The sad part is, there is a reason why we are. Men (usually) do prefer a woman who 'takes care of themselves.' But what does that mean? It means being thin, doing up your hair, wearing make-up... and then guys get angry when women ask 'stupid' questions like this. We want to impress you, because that's what we're taught to do. We want your approval and love, so we're sorry we're self-conscience, trust me, we don't want to be...
It's probably because the g/f thinks the other girl is hot and wants to have a threesome but wants to make sure you think she's hot too.
lol woman say they want honesty, but really they want their men to tell them they're the hottest,thinnest, funniest, smartest, sexiest woman in the world. Whether its true or not. but yeah, you're right. why ask? nothing good can come of it.
