As one fat woman to another, do you know he’s lying or do you know he loves you?Truth is, I AM fat…so I NEVER ask that question!
(And even if I did, and my DH says “no,” then I KNOW he’s lying…!!)

As another of the “bikini challenged” can’t the answer be yes, to both?

My answer would depend upon whether she’s legitimately wondering if the clothes look good on her, or if she’s asking me a trick question.
If it’s the former, I’d plead ignorance, because I don’t know fashion.
If it’s the latter, I’d say “Yes” emphatically (whether it were at all true or not), because she would know that I am an incessantly sarcastic person and would get the hint that I don’t like being asked trick questions.

If it’s me, the correct answers are:
(If I look like a truckload of marshmallows) “I don’t know what those designers are thinking. You know who needs this dress? An anorexia patient on class picture day, that’s who. It’s a trick to sell diet soda; theyre all in cahoots if you ask me. I love the way you look in the black one.”
(If I look pudgy but no more than you do and you think a woman should have a little meat) “It’s beautiful. Why, don’t you like it? We can always exchange it. Maybe you should leave it on the hanger to keep it safe so they’ll take it back.”
(If I look perfect) “You look stunning.”
(If I look too skinny if anything and you hate it when I get on this fat kick) “Not in the least. None of your dresses do.”
Wrong answers:
“You look like there’s just twice as much to love, sugar doll.”
“Why must you blame dresses for your inadequacies?”
“You look very…um…is that the doorbell?”
“Don’t be silly. All you need is to put on about ten pounds. In fact, I bought you some ham and cheese and I want to see you finish it all tonight.”
“Everyone there is going to be staring at you because they’ll be envying me.”
“I always thought you looked best when you get up in the morning, especially when you have a cold and allergies.”
“It’s what’s inside that counts.” (Of course, but no one at the party is going to know what’s on the inside. They are going to make up stories about us based on how we look, and if I wear an unflattering dress, the women will think I’m less intelligent than they are. Sad but true.)
“I know a lot of girls who would look hot in that, but not you.”

“as a one piece challenged, that suit better have a skirt, and a tummy control to hide the flaws type of girl”As another of the “bikini challenged” can’t the answer be yes, to both?
He can say yes to both, and even mean it.

I can’t imagine my wife asking me this question. Or caring what I would answer. Or caring what I think. Or wearing a dress.

Me: Do I look fat?
DH: Do I look stupid?
It went downhill from there…
On the plus side, DH always knows how to let me know I’ve picked a great outfit… I get the wolf whistles and the bright eyes and the “why don’t we just stay home instead?” with the cocked eyebrow.
Otherwise, I do know what looks good on me and what doesn’t, so the question is rarely asked.

I wouldn’t ask. Why put someone in the spot of having to lie in order to spare my feelings? I already know the answer – there is a full-length mirror on the bathroom door. A dress doesn’t make me look fat or thin, but my queen-size bum sure does!

Back when I was in a relationship, if I worried aloud about my looks, the damage was done before I said anything. The best answer to that question is to prevent it. Show her every day that you’re proud and feel lucky to be with her. She will never ask if she looks OK.

There is a legitimate concern for one’s appearance, and any man that doesn’t have it (for his own appearance, I mean): I disown you all; I have no gender-mates. I’m the only human male, the rest of you are something else.
(Can you tell I’m a bit of a dandy, when I remember?)
Ahem.
How about someone try, “Not really, but, I dunno, the cut’s kind of weird for you?”
Then it’s entirely the dress’s fault. Work in something about it being one of those trends where dresses are cut so they look weird on proper humans. Then it’s the dress’s fault and society’s fault, that it produced a garment unworthy of her.
Spin control, I’m good at.

I also appreciate much of the philosophy of NO MAAM“No, not at all honey; it’s not the dress that makes you look fat”
