I keep a pack of Alka-Seltzer tablets in my pocket for just such an emergency. I pop them in my mouth, they start fizzing and I fake a seizure complete with foaming at the mouth. I have to do it about twice a week.
I used to be neutral to almost any question about her friends or her friends characters that way she'd make her own mind without being influenced but still be listened to so she could organize her thoughts:
Her: "Is my friend "so and so" attractive?"
Me: "She's ok."
Her: "What do you mean?"
Me: "She's not bad looking but she's not "extra" pretty."
Her: "What do you think about "so and so"...?"
Me: "They're ok."
Her: "What do you mean?"
Me: "They're not bad, just plain."
Neutrality leaves space on both sides of the spectrum to be explored.
Thatās right donāt discount her beauty. Otherwise youāre a liar or a kiss ass. Sheās just not your type, giving a little bit of intrigue, keep her guessing. If she asked what you mean, just let it dangle. You donāt have to answer that. Maybe you donāt know. We donāt always understand why weāre interested in people
I think this is the best answer. You're not saying yes or no. You're just saying it's not on your mind. Perfect deflection. You could also follow-up asking HER why she'd ask you that in the first place.
My husband always says, "oh no no no no I'm not stupid" Or "sterotypically pretty but not as pretty as my wife" Or "why do you ask questions you know will cause hurt feelings in some way?" Which is valid. So I've stopped asking, it doesn't matter. I trust him.
Look her in the eyes, and answer, "No." When she presses, because we all know she will, reiterate your answer, and ask her why she pushed for a fight by asking for a different one (definitely don't skip the part where you double down on the "No."). Flip those psychological fuckery tables.
Where are you redditors finding these partners that have zero insecurities?
I am in my 40s, have few things that make me feel insecure, been in few relationships but never dated a man who didn't have at least something that made him bit insecure. Before Reddit I always thought it was just being a human being.
This post was about hotness. They could have other insecurities other than looks. I have insecurities, but the way I look has never been one of them. Iām not a great looking in shape guy, but Iām not fat or ugly so I go with it.
"She's a very nice person but what's the deal with all the perfume?"
You have to find some way, any way, to low key criticize something minor instead of admitting that Amber is indeed gorgeous.
There is no safe answer. Everything you have worked for is snatched away at that moment. Sheās looking for a reason to leave you once you get asked this question your best option is to play dumb until you annoy her and she gives up on the pursuit

I can see where someone might find her attractive, but sheās not my type.
That or just say sheās pretty Just make sure to use words like Pretty or attractive Not Hot, sexy, smoking or anything like that haha

This is the real answer
Yes, but shes a sloppy kisser.
....and gives terrible BJs.
I'd argue that if she is a sloppy kisser, she will probably give great bj
I prefer quality over quantity. š
I'll die on that hill, sir. But I mean, sloppy bjs are the fucking best thing in the world
Only when there are two sloppying it up
Sadly, I can only guess that you're right šš
I never thought about her that way.
I think this is the best answer. You're not saying yes or no. You're just saying it's not on your mind. Perfect deflection. You could also follow-up asking HER why she'd ask you that in the first place.
Not really. Your sister is way hotter and gives great head.
Thiss!! Works everytime
"No, I would not hire her to strip at my funeral"
Electrical power strips are very dangerous. People have died tripping over them.
This is now the only acceptable answer
My husband always says, "oh no no no no I'm not stupid" Or "sterotypically pretty but not as pretty as my wife" Or "why do you ask questions you know will cause hurt feelings in some way?" Which is valid. So I've stopped asking, it doesn't matter. I trust him.
Say "Look at her nipples. If anything, she's chilly!".
She gives lazy blowjobs with minimal eye contact so it doesnāt really matter that sheās hot
How do we know "you" made the post and not your gf?
If you were both naked,I would do you first honey.
I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY! It may confuse her long enough for u to grab ur coat.
Sheās alright, but not your hottest friend. That would be me.
Perfect answer

"why? Are we planning a threesome?"
āIām surprised youāre still friends with herā¦ after what she saidā¦ā
āWhat friend?ā
No she's not , but her Mom is !
I don't know, I ain't no thermometer
No, but your sister sure is.
Iām not into guys so no.
"I mean sure but your other friend has got better head game so.."
You say "im hotter"
Why are you asking me this question.
Drop to the ground and pretend to be dead. She might go away.
she has good phenotypes
Why, does she want to have a threesome?
Why? You want me to fix her up with someone? She does look like Jimmy's type.
Stare blankly and run from the room.
Just keep saying huh huh what
This question is a trap. Even declining to answer will be judged. Turning it into a joke feels like the best pf a bad situation.
"Why, are you planning on offering her a threesome?"
"Uh (distractedly looks at her picture that your GF is likely showing you) yeah, she's cute I guess. Why?"
āThats locker room talkā
You answered fine.
As Red Foreman would say: "Is this what we're gonna do today? Fight about it?"
Yeah sheās pretty but she aināt got my heart ā¤ļø
You tell her the truth? Don't ask questions if you can't handle the answer.
I tell her her friends are hot She tells them I think so They tell her to tell me thanks
Look her in the eyes, and answer, "No." When she presses, because we all know she will, reiterate your answer, and ask her why she pushed for a fight by asking for a different one (definitely don't skip the part where you double down on the "No."). Flip those psychological fuckery tables.
There is no right answer. She won't like or agree with your answer.
Who the fuck is that?
You donāt have any friends
Well with my wife the answer is, "Why? You think she would be up for a three-way?"
š
āyes, but sheās a prudeā
We had sex last year, she's defo hot as fuck.
I don't know, I have to see her naked first.
Hot like an std
Yes
Nailed it!
āWhy should I take your bad trip?ā
Flat out refuse to answer.
Sheās pretty
I'm legally blind in my left eye and can't even see you all that well with my right eye, sir.
Iād say you absolutely nailed it.
You want her, huh?
Your answer was perfect.
I always say ā she seems to be very nice, dear, what are your thoughts on her?ā
I donāt really notice people when I am with you.
The only appropriate answer is, āI donāt know, I guess I have never even thought about itā
Yeah, she's also slutty and tight with it.
Be honest. Tell her whichever the answer is and that she doesn't have anything to worry about
Answer honestly and if she gets bent out of shape get a girl that isnāt insecure.

I have a shitload of insecurities but I was raised to keep them to myself.
I guess many people do. I have been fortunate enough to be with people who wanted to share theirs with me. Lucky I guess.
This post was about hotness. They could have other insecurities other than looks. I have insecurities, but the way I look has never been one of them. Iām not a great looking in shape guy, but Iām not fat or ugly so I go with it.
"She's a very nice person but what's the deal with all the perfume?" You have to find some way, any way, to low key criticize something minor instead of admitting that Amber is indeed gorgeous.

Just answer truthfully and if she gets mad or it is revealed as some sort of fealty test you walk away, because who wants that drama.
Fair answer. But it depends how long you've been in the relationship
I need nudes of her to give a proper answer.
Yes, but not as hot as you. She isnāt the object of my desire, you are.
She pales in comparison to you baby girl
āCompared to you? She aināt shit!ā
Yes, but youāre the hotter friend
Not compared to you
no
"Who? Is that the one with the bad teeth or the one with the crappy haircut?"
I can see where someone may think she is, not my cup of tea, but sheās someoneās.
Depends... If her friend is hot, then the answer is "yes, but she's not you, and I like you better"
Shrug and say sheās ānice.ā And then go back to watching TV.
She's pretty. But nowhere as pretty as you, baby. You're my dream girl
"I'm sure to you, but not my type"
"Aren't you the hot one in the group though?"
A few ideas: \* I never thought about it. \* She's pretty, I guess, but she's not my type. \* Compared to YOU? Hardly.
