Okay, there are certain questions that people ask you and you have to think before answering them. Not because you are trying to work them out, but because you need to judge the reaction.
a few examples:-

1.
my brother- What do you think of my new glasses? I'm not too sure about them.
me- Yes, they're fine (blatant lie)
OR
me- No, I they're not my cup of tea

2.
(female friend)- do you think I'm getting fat?
(me)- no
(female friend)- now come on, don't lie
(me)- okay, maybe a little bit
(female friend)- *slap*
OR
say no again and remain slap free

What do you do? Do you lie to keep the person happy? Or do you tell the truth because it's the right thing to do?

1) You look like a tt.

2) Who ate all the pies? *slap* (they get used to the truth eventually).

Truth!

Tell your brother the truth.

To your female friend the correct answer is:-
"No, you are not as skinny as you used to be. Now you're just right."

If they don't want to know the answer they shouldn't ask the question.

In that case:

Her "Do you think I'm getting fat?"
You "what do you mean getting fat? Don't tell me you've only just noticed!"

Quite right.

Unfortunately, most women do not seem to have the same rational point of view that you have.

Don't ask a question that you don't want an honest answer to.. IMO.

It's your duty as a man to tell her the truth. Otherwise you're no better than her fit mates who tell her she's beautiful, eventually they start to beleive their bullst and end up bouncing around nightclubs thinking they look the dogs bks.

I wouldn't say fat as such, but I've noticed you have to throw your handbag from one hand to the other. Also, could you please release me from your gravitational pull ? I seem to be stuck on orbit.

I used to wear glasses, I got called allsorts, speccy four eyes, Joe 90. I'm not going to that opticians again [/HarryHill]

Guess who I bumped into in the opticians ?

Everyone.
