Today, my wife asked me if she looked cute in a new dress that she bought earlier today. I told her that she almost looks like a supermodel. Appearantly "almost" doesn't cut it. Guess who's sleeping on the couch. FML

You: "You ALMOST look like a supermodel..." Her: *death glare* You: "...but you couldn't be a supermodel, or you'd put the airbrush/Photoshop technicians out of a job!"

Actually, “almost” is a compliment and I'll show you why. We'll use your example of a **** star penis. When one refers to a **** star penis, it generally suggests the purported size, not the actual size. The purported size seems to average at 9 to 11 inches. Let us say 10 inches to keep it simple. Given that the average penis size, according to the Kinsey survey, is 5-7 inches (though subsequent studies in which measuring tape is used suggest 5.5) with a standard deviation of .75 inches, let us say that an average penis is 6 inches. If the man has an average penis, it would still fall outside of a standard deviation (hence “almost”) of the average purported **** star's penis, 10 inches. 6 inches is a little over 5 standard deviations away from 10 inches. Clearly this is flattery. Now, let us analyse “almost like a supermodel.” Given that relative attractiveness is subjective, it would be impossible analyse with proper statistics but let us say that 5 (on a 1 to 10 scale) is average and that one point is a standard deviation. Let us assume that the OP's wife is attractive enough to have him whipped, so let's assume she is 6 or 7. Given that a supermodel would reflect a culture's ideal of female beauty, let us assume that supermodels are 9 or 10. Averaging that to 9.5 and estimating the wife's possible attractiveness to 6.5, it is 3 standard deviations away from an average supermodel. Therefore, it is flattery. In order for “almost” to be accurate, the OP's wife would have to be 8.5. In order for it to be an insult, she has to be above 8.5. Therefore, it is a compliment, the OP's wife is crazy, and the OP is probably well over 5 standard deviations away from a **** star.

You should have known by now that all women are insecure and need constant complements to stay sane.

She is always BEAUTIFUL, the pants never make her butt look big (the cheeseburgers do), "that girl" is pretty but "not as pretty as you" and so on. I have made it through 35 years of marriage. It's not helpful to "be honest." You ARE being honest. She is a super model to you. Or she better be. Unless you just like being alone. I think you really learned something here. Go with it.

YDI for having a wife that's a self conscious jerk.

YDI for letting her out of the kitchen to go buy something.

seriously? wtf. some people are just so stupid and rude. if you don't have something serious to say then don't say it.

how silly. that is a compliment! you sleeping on the couch? ridiculous. if she has a problem, she can sleep on the couch imo. you were just trying to be nice. seriously, like if you had called her ugly fine but she should learn to accept a compliment.

if you don't think your girlfriend is the prettiest thing on earth, she deserves better than you. And you deserve better than that ugly chick.

what a wench. why are all the responders so shallow.

u just dnt answer those ? speciallii if their black just nod/smile and change the subject!!
