    "I don't know" is reasonable but seldom acceptable too.

    Mein Gott!

    The day I get a simple "yes" or "no" answer from my girlfriend, I will need an ambulance to take me to the ER.


    One reason they can't say "yes" or "no" is because they are always scheming as to which lie they should tell to smooth the situation over.
    The situation is simple, and no smoothing over is needed?
    They will cook up a lie anyway, it just comes natural.

    The vast majority of Men who make it to 30, know that, in the vast majority of wimmens, that is a true stement.

    I may have learned it, but I still ignore it.

    I hate it when they use yes and no for answers to questions that require a lot mere detailed answer.

    I tell mine quite often that this is a yes or no question, before I ask her the question. Otherwise she'll leave me hanging and I'm wide open for a blood bath if I choose wrong. Women! [:(!]

    They always have a need to feel wanted, so be sure to throw in an occasional, "We'll see".

    So is "What?". Wimmen haven't figured out that we use that answer to buy time so we can figure out what they really want to hear.[8D]

    Example:
    Wife "Are you going to just leave that on the kitchen floor?"

    Me "What?"

    Just because we can't handle the truth doesn't mean we don't want it. We can deal with the fallout from the truth a lot easier than we can the fallout from a lie, especially if the lie is discovered after the fact.

    Typical. She attempts to explain it with yet another lie.

    ...Sorry that all you guys have such witches for dates and mates. My wife can't lie worth a damn. She won't even try. Me? I could sell you a bridge across the Pacific, with a straight face. Fortunately, I don't need to lie.[}:)]
    ...OK, so Cath can turn a "yes or no" question into a ten minute narrative, but I just close my eyes and snore softly. After 31 years, we don't hide much of anything from each other. There's no "her" money or "my" money. Life is mostly good.[^]

    Classic the one wearing a dress in your house? The way you talk, men are beneath you. Must be tough going through life with that big chip on your shoulder.

    Bet it is even tougher for classic to be the "woman" of your relationship. Maybe he likes it.
