The male logic

Men do not understand that not denying something that has been stated, is stating it themselves. At least from my womanly perspective.

When a female lets out the so dreaded words such as "I'm fat." , "This does not look very good on me.", or "My breath stinks." in all of its possible variations, the role of a nearby male is to deny it with all their might, and make sure we buy it. Sympathetic smiles, suggesting another dress or handing us a mint does not make us happy. Problem solved... not. The much recurred "yeah, I've been gaing some weight myself" could be cutting it close to painful divorces and break ups. I understand your thinking, males, but that does not lead me to believe you understand ours. Leave your logical minds aside, for crying out loud; we are WOMEN.

So, in cases like these (be careful to identify a positive case) the basic key is to simply deny it. Prove us wrong even if we are not. You'll save yourself a few hours , or even days, of silent misery wondering "What did I say?".
