Enough of the "Does this make me look fat?" fishing for compliments already!
If you're an American guy, it's likely you've heard this from women of your acquaintance: "I feel fat: I really need to lose some weight!" This is usually said by "skinny-fat" women who don't need to lose weight per se, but who might actually benefit from a weight gain associated with resistance training done at aerobic pace.
I've been so tempted to trip up the complainant on a number of occasions by responding, "No, you look fine, I'd fuck you even in your present condition." Should be good for either a slap or a roll in the hay.

No hurt feelings, useful Q&A session completed, no lying necessary, he's not embarrassed to go out in public with me.
Note, by the way, that the same mindless bimbettes who ask:
"Do I look fat in these jeans?"
Won't ask:
"Do you think that my opinion is justified in this instance?"
Or:
"Do you think I've read enough to proffer an educated guess on the topic?"
I guess their ass means more to them than their assumptions.
