Why do Women ask “Do I look FAT in this?”

by Leslie Star » Advice, Love Advice

There are a number of reasons why women ask this question.  It might be puzzling and plain dumb to men but that fact is there is actually several reasons why.  The most important tip that I can give to men is never say, YES YOU DO LOOK FAT!”  

If they do chunky in the outfit try saying.. “How about you try on that blue shirt that I love so much with that skirt.”

 Reasons why women ask “Do I look FAT in this?”

  1. They honestly want to know if they look frumpy or fat in the outfit.  If so they want to change into something else that their husband/boyfriend/friends would be attracted to.
  2. They want to know that you think they are pretty.
  3. Their self confidence is low and they want you to boost it up.  For example … “Do I look fat in this?”… “Of course not honey you look fabulous.”
  4. They want to be reassured that they look as hot as they feel.  Sometimes women ask this to test their mate to make sure they give the right answer.  If they do look fat then lie, lie and lie some more.
  5. They have recently lost weight and want to be told they look skinny.
  6. They just want to mess with you.  Sometimes women test men just because they can.  They know men squirm at the thought of this question being asked and they want to see how they react.
  7. They got a new outfit and they want to know what you think in case they need to take it back.
  8. Women always want to look and feel their best.  Sometimes they really just need a “friend” to tell them what they want to hear cause they haven’t invented a mirror that does that yet.

Women always have tricks up their sleeves.  We can’t help it .. It just comes second nature to us to torment the men in our lives :)   We never usually ask our friends if we look fat in an outfit because they would probably tell us the truth.

do-i-look-fat in this

Men have been trained for years to always say no to this question and never pause before they automatically answer NO.  It is important to have a relationship where you tell the truth but sometimes it is critical that they tell a little white lie. 

I hope I helped for next time you get asked this dreaded question. :)
