Honesty is not always the best policy

I love the brutal honesty of men, most never see any point in sugar coating things.

My eye has been bothering me (itchy etc).

This morning:

Jeremy: Man! What happened to you? You look terrible!

Me: Why thank you! You know, women the world over love hearing things like that. You look terrible. Yes those pants make you look fat. etc.


Yes, I feel so much better now that he has pointed out how awful I look

My husband is the king of idiocy! He says things like this all the time.

Tom: what's that? Is that a pimple??? (pointing to the tiniest pimple on my face)

Me: "you know, I could look like a million bucks, and actually cause traffic jams on the street, and you'd NEVER notice! But 1 tiny little pimple, and you just HAVE to point it out?!"

Other famous lines:

"are you wearing that?"
"what's wrong with your hair?"
"are you going out like that?"
"your not wearing that are you?"

That's too funny!! Jerry will say, 10 minutes before we are supposed to leave, "are you gonna go get ready?"

I get eyeliner tattooed every couple of years, which results in some swelling for a few days. The husband is all like Kramer on Seinfeld- "You got butchered!"

If I have a pimple, my ex/roommate/whatever looks at me and says "Does that hurt?" and if I use concealer he'll look at it real close and say something like "Wow, nice spackling job".

I get him back though. He's colorblind and I always ask him "You know your clothes hurt normal people's eyes, right?" when he wears like, bright green shirt with olive pants or something.

Tom says that one too! Like it didn't take me 32 outfits on & off again, and an hour to look like I do! I swear, Tom thinks I'm Miss America or something, I always have to be dressed to the hilt! He'll say "are you going like that?" I'm like "what? in sweat pants? to shop rite??? NO never! I'll go put on my evening gown and heels for you your highness!"

Oh I know, and I'm really not bothered by it

A little tact though would be nice.

Such as:

"Is your eye bothering you? It looks swollen"

as opposed to:

"Man! What a shiner! I'd hate to see the other guy!"

haha i was just teasing, well sorta.
