When the Victoria's Secret commercial comes on the TV, and the model says, "I love my body", then saying back to the TV, "Me too"...with my wife sitting right next to me.

Bad idea.

OK--who else wants to share?
 
If your wife asks you if one of her friends is pretty, pretty much every possible response other than spontaneous combustion is a bad idea.

So true. Girlfriend for me of course, but still so true. Even famous people or anyone on TV.
Girl: "She's pretty. Don't you think she's pretty?"
Me: "Huh? Oh, I don't know. <anything to change the subject fast>"
 
ex: "am i the prettiest girl you ever dated?"
me: "well there was one girl"
I had to chase her down the street and convince her to come back inside.
 
Girlfriend talking about my ex who she absolutely hates: "She's not even pretty. Do you think she's pretty? Be honest."
Me: "Well, yeah, she's pretty"
Girlfriend starts crying and yelling at me. mostly yelling

I was an idiot, I thought being completely honest was a good thing. I have since learned that that is bullllllshit haha

The one face-saving out I've found with famous people is to say, "Yeah, she really has your eyes (or lips or hair or whatever)." She'll get so flattered she'll forget to be pissed off.

Doesn't work on her friends, though. No matter what you say, all she'll hear is "He thinks my friend is pretty. Prettier than me?"

What if the response is, "Sure, but not as pretty as you."? Not sufficient to placate?

It's not bad. But you can only go to that well so many times. Specifics stretch out the tactic much better.

Example:

"Honey, do you think Jenna Jamison is pretty?"

Option A: "Sure, but not as pretty as you."

Option B: "She has almost the exact same ear lobes as you, which I think is fantastic. Wait a minute and they'll zoom in to show her wiping her left one off."

See? Option B has so much more mileage, because it makes it all about the goo in the actress' ear and not you.

The key is to plan ahead. If you are going to watch a film with Jenna Jamison, the question is inevitable. (More because Jamison is so plastic that this is a double test--do you still find your significant other attractive, and are you shallow enough to find ridiculously proportioned fake tits hot.) So figure out which of the actress' attributes are in "the safe zone" of not-too-sexy but also not-too-contrived before hand. I try to write a note on my palm (a la Sarah Palin) just in case I forget, because you MUST NOT STUTTER in any way while delivering this line.

Bonus hint: Sharpies are more resistant to palm sweat.

"Not as pretty as you" is my default answer.

Yeah, click on the link above the video and it'll take you to a Hulu/Myspace page with it.

Fuck, man, I'm so glad I don't have a daughter. The body issues girls have to deal with...jeez.

If this were a commercial for guy's underwear, it'd probably be something like "I love my body. Look at all the shit I can do to it and feed it."

I ran into a college friend and asked when she was due and she wasn't pregnant. I'd knocked down a couple beers, that's my only defense.

Oh, man. That's terrible.

A woman can be on the way to the hospital to deliver and I don't say jack squat about a pregnancy... just in case. :)

My girlfriend just really isn't very insecure. I guess I'm lucky :)
