captainquim 0 #26 August 16, 2002 Quote "Do I look fat in this dress?". Is there really a correct answer to this question? answer 'no, you look fat in that fat' mind you - only if it's appropriate and they understand you are joking - or you are in trouble Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Deuce 1 #27 August 16, 2002 CLAY WHAT IS IN YOUR FREAKING HAND! My wife and I have finally come through the hostile stage. We had to get better at getting along cause we had this audience all the time (the kids). People at the DZ are always saying how lucky I am that she's supportive, and she is, but she had no choice. I skydive on Saturdays unless there's some pressing family obligation. She can be happy, or she can be miserable, but I'm skydiving so let's find a way for her to be happy about it. The choice between happy and miserable is a conscious one. I think a lot of people don't realize that. A person can bitch about toilet seat placement, or they can reconfigure the toilet to suit their needs. Celebrate the fact of the toilet! How wonderful to not have to put your shoes on in the middle of the night to do your business! If a person has to bitch about a toilet seat, they should celebrate that their life is that good. We're getting on the motorcycle this afternoon and motoring up to Reno for the weekend. Nobody knows me better, and she doesn't know me all that well, and we're changing all the time anyway.

However, the woman expects the man to agree with them AND justify his position in terms which will be acceptable to the woman. The man, on the other hand, doesn't see any need whatsoever to even respond.
