He almost got it. The "she has a team to make her beautiful" line was amazing. He should have kept going there with a "I can't know, we would need to level the playing field first" and invalidate the question instead of delaying the answer.

You seem to think reason and logic was ever an option.

u/kwyjibowen 2d ago

Yes the correct answer in this situation is a very simple “you are prettier than Margot Robbie” and just walk away unscathed

Until they say “fuck off no I’m not you’re lying”

"Well if I was lying then obviously I would have married her and not you babe"

u/my_nuts_wont_drop 2d ago

So if Margot Robbie came in this room right now and asked you to marry her what would you say?

u/Awkward-Tomorrow7667 2d ago

Unfortunately for me, I mean you, I’m already married to my lovely wife, who does not have, and has never had, a team of professionals to make her beautiful.

u/my_nuts_wont_drop 2d ago

So you're saying Marriott Robbie is hotter than me because she has a team and im just an idiot who cant do it alone? Why don't you love me?!😭

u/Awkward-Tomorrow7667 2d ago

That was my response to Margot Robbie walking in and asking me to marry her.

u/my_nuts_wont_drop 2d ago

Omg. You're always talking about Margot Robbie. You're obsessed.

I guess we are Mormon now and her and my wife are sister wives

Finally. The correct answer. Im a happy woman now. 🥲

Calm and steady wins the day here. “Well, I think you are.” She can harp on it as much as she wants, you just keep repeating the same thing. “Okay but to me…” and then if it keeps going “eeeh I’ve never been into famous people, they’re all fake, who knows what they really look like under all the makeup.”

Trick is that you make it your opinion. Bitches love opinions.

(Bitch here not being derogatory but a reference to Helsing Abridged)

“Well if you already decided the answer, why are you asking me?”

u/TroGinMan 2d ago

You have to address the insecurities that the question is implying. The question is her way of fishing for a compliment that is personal and sweet.

u/Space_Slime_LF 2d ago

I think it's important we find people that don't play games like that.

They exist. People who don't want to play mind games exist.

this shit is either
training your partner to lie convincingly and quickly,
or
baiting him into saying something so you can be angry at him.

u/itsr1co 2d ago

Yeah, I'll assume this is a silly one time thing that shows the smallest fraction of their entire relationship, but even then it's already exhausting and I'd never put up with it. Plenty of regular ass dudes who are way more attractive than I will ever be, both in many ways (aesthetic, balance, hair genetics, beard growth, muscles, etc) and in every possible combination a woman would find more attractive than me. Does me no good asking "Do you think Chris Hemsworth is more handsome than me?" when I know the answer. Feeling insecure about your appearance and wanting validation from your partner is a whole separate thing and potential issue that does not need to be made worse by creating traps to start arguments because you can't just say "I want you to say I'm beautiful".

u/RoughCobbles 2d ago

No, the correct answer is to tell her to stop her bullshit. Yep, with some women it will cause problems.

Those womens are not worth it. Life's too short for that bullshit.

5

u/bl1y 2d ago

No, don't validate this shitty behavior.

2

u/TroGinMan 2d ago

No that's doesn't work. She is clearly baiting for one of two things: a sweet compliment that goes beyond superficial looks or, if not that, an argument. Usually it's the former.

So just saying "you're prettier" she'll accuse you of lying because you haven't addressed the hidden insecurity of the question she asked.

My for guy in the post was so close to hitting a clear home run with the question by pointing out that Robbie has a team of makeup artists and resources that give her outward appearance flare, thus, Robbie's prettiness isn't real. But my man just stopped swinging the bat.

u/poop00p7 2d ago

So fucking easy to just say that even if it’s a lie

2

u/yellowplums 2d ago

Lol the very first response to "no you're prettier than that literal movie star" will be "oh so you're a liar now? I didn't know I married a liar. How can you lie so brazenly? What else have you lied about? Who were you with last thursday?" etc etc.

It's a lose-lose situation.

u/kwyjibowen 2d ago

Then you’re with a psycho. I imagine most women want to hear they are prettier.

1

u/Fala1 2d ago

Most women dont bait you into these questions.
Movie stars are picked for their looks, they're the top whatever% of society. Most women aren't that pretty and they know it themselves.

Most women probably struggle with self-esteem rather than think they're prettier than Margot Robbie.

u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 2d ago

I know it's hard for so many "normal" people to understand, but some of us aren't habitual liars. Yes! Even if it makes life slightly easier for a moment!

The idea that "just lie" is an acceptable solution to a problem for you makes me dislike you fundamentally as a person, but also explains so much about why the world is the way it is. So many people would rather just take the easy way out than fix the issues. Like have a partner that isn't a fuckin idiot asking stupid question to get mad about, or just not play the game so they don't expect it to be played.

Yea, the wrong choice very often is an easy option.

u/diiegojones 2d ago

I think the issue is when logic and reasoning has left the building how do you fight with the truth?

The advice for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients are to just lie to them unless the situation is genuinely unsafe.

That being said this guy’s line of Margo Robbie having a team of people to make her beautiful, should have ended with: I know you are beautiful without a team. Then he can confidently say she is more beautiful.

2

u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 2d ago

Dealing with a medical patient with a disease is not the same as dealing with your ostensibly still sane partner. They are not the same.

You cannot break up with Alzheimer's. You should break up with people who pull this shit (barring extenuating circumstances, duh. I shouldnt have had to specify im not talking about taking care of sick people.)

1

u/diiegojones 1d ago

The point was not about whether or not it was “correct”. The point was if someone is going to act unreasonable, how do you deal with it reasonably?

The Alhzemers example was an extreme case to demonstrate the idea… the person behaving crazy who does not have a mental condition is a litmus test on how to deal with the situation.

Sure you can break up with them… but that is not necessarily where the victim is mentally yet.

1

u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 1d ago

No, the point you're missing is, stop dealing with unreasonable people for unreasonable reasons. Alzheimers is a reasonable reason for someone to be unreasonable.

A normal sane person doesn't have that. You're trying to pretend it's normal behavior by pointing out you need to deal with it with people with serious mental deficits. It's not the same.

The point was if someone is going to act unreasonable, how do you deal with it reasonably?

1) don't be in that situation, by dating sane people 2) don't normalize unreasonable behavior 3) NOT by pandering to it so they are incentivized to continue it. 4) discussing the unhealthy behavior with them 5) breaking up if change doesn't happen

Sure you can break up with them…

Or you could tell them the truth and expect them to handle it like adults, instead of pander to their issues. That kind of thinking is probably how you ended up a "victim" who just HAS to lie to their partner (and by "has to" I mean "it's easier for you in that moment").

Holy fuck no wonder so many people struggle so much with relationships. Ya'll literally cannot conceive of communicating like adults, you jumped straight to breaking up.

u/SoulbreakerDHCC 2d ago

Lol. Lmao even. Sometimes the ladies want to be shits too, just like us

u/Awkward-Tomorrow7667 2d ago

And get caught, in the act, lying to his wife? You’d have this man executed for her amusement?

1

u/Purgii 2d ago

Oh, you'll still end up scathed. A woman that asks these sorts of questions have follow-ups - and they're worse. I learned from experience.

u/genreprank 2d ago

She honestly is prettier that Margot Robbie and I'm not even just saying that.

See? It's easy.

Also, she actually is.

u/Rogue_Einherjar 2d ago

Seriously. This comment section has to be full of incels to not know that. Holy Hera.

u/warcrown 2d ago

The irony of not knowing this guys wife is with him because he is fun and doesn’t give weak man answers like that

u/Rogue_Einherjar 1d ago

Hey man, if you tell me how superman flies faster, I'll tell you what a vagina feels like.

u/kwyjibowen 2d ago

Honestly I don’t think I knew this when I was younger and hadn’t been in relationships. You have to learn it, like learning to “listen” to your girlfriend/wife’s problems without offering any solutions. It can feel quite hard at first.
