Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

Life Audio.

On today's episode of Timeless Wisdom, what is your husband supposed to say when you ask him, how do I look in this dress?

Okay, here's what I think the main problem is. Are you ready? Yes. Okay, this doesn't just apply with this, but it's you saying, what is a man supposed to answer? Okay. And I think men personally, they, instead of being honest and speaking from their heart, they want to give the right answer so they're not in trouble.

That's right.

Okay. That is not good.

That's coming up on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager.

I'm old-fashioned. I like two sexes. And another thing, all of a sudden I don't like being married to what is known as a new woman. I want a wife, not a competitor. Competitor. Competitor.

Talk about a bit of this crying in the morning thing, this depression, you know, let's get that fixed.

That's what men think, isn't it?

What?

Unless you've got the answer. Unless you can say, oh, I know this bloke in the Essex Road who could fix that. There's no point bothering. How do you write women so well?

I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.

I love him. I love him and I don't care what you think. I love him for the, for the man he wants to be and I love him for the man that he almost is. What do people have rows about today?

Uh, money, sex, sex, money, he wants, she doesn't want. She wants, he doesn't want? Women. Have always been a big problem to me, Dr. Fussbend. Are you listening, Doctor? Yes, yes, yes, go on, go on. Hi everybody, this is Dennis Prager. This is the Male-Female Hour, the second hour of my Wednesday show. Each week is devoted to a really, really honest look at men and women. And consequently, since it's both honest and sympathetic to both sexes, as well as critical of both, it can be very, very helpful to people, to their marriages and relationships. And that's its intent, not to mention simple clarity, because there is a joy in life about learning. I want to just talk about that for a moment. It's a very interesting thing. I was talking to my wife about this just yesterday. What are the pleasures? It's worth maybe another time talking about it. It's certainly not a male/female issue as such, but I just want to give you an idea. What are the pleasures that continue to excite people as they get older and really old, let's say? And do you know what we came up with? Reading. That is, that is probably the greatest enduring single pleasure outside of relationships, obviously, you know, people you love. But reading, and it shows the yearning of the human being for knowledge and understanding, how primal it is. And so there is a joy, and now I'm, I'm applying this to the male-female hour, there is an intrinsic joy in, in learning about the other sex. It, it just is because— or even about our own. Anyway, that's just a, an overview of part of why I value this hour so much. I am going to raise a subject today for which I will receive countless thank yous just for raising it. And here goes, and I'm— it's sort of light, but in truth it's so sensitive. It is such a sensitive topic between men and women that it's sort of like you don't touch it. It's like one of the third rails. You know, they talked about the third rail because that's the electrified rail on railroads or subways. This is the third rail of male-female relations, or one of the third rails. The truth is there are third, sixth, ninth, twelfth rails. But here, here it goes. What is your husband or boyfriend of long standing— and I am obviously an advocate of marriage, but so we'll keep it at husband— what is your husband supposed to say when you ask him, how do I look in this dress, or do I look fat? What am I— and I mean it sincerely— what is he supposed to answer? When a woman asks this, does she want an honest answer? He feels trapped. And, uh, what, what, what is he going to answer? So call in right now and help men in this regard. What should they respond? I obviously want to hear from women, but if men have an ingenious insight, I will be happy to hear from you as well. 1-800-PRAGER-776. 1-8-PRAGER-776-877-243-7776 is the digitized version of that. What is he supposed to answer you? It is a question that men are asked regularly. Not, not every wife will ask this, but it is Pretty common. His instinct is to say, no matter what, honey, you look great. Is that in fact what the question is about? I would like to hear how wonderful I look. Or is it a question that would like some degree of candor? Because in the human species the burden of looks falls more on women. To deny that means that you went to graduate school. That's all it means. But there's no substance to the denial. In peacocks, it is the male that is the, the drawer of physical attention. Because of its colorful plumes. But we are not peacocks, and if we were, then I would ask it the other way around. But we are humans where, for whatever reason— divine, evolutionary, any reason you wish to give— that the female of the species is the physical attractor. And so it is a very, very important question, only deniable by those with graduate degrees, usually in women's studies, which is so misnamed as to be sad since it doesn't study women, it studies doctrine. All righty, let's go to your calls here as they come in. We begin in Ohio in the Valley City and Maritas. Is that right, Maritas?

It's Maritas.

Maritas, hi there. Thank you for calling.

Hello, thank you for taking my call. Um, yes, we— when we ask those questions, I'm speaking for myself, when I ask those questions, how do I look, I'm looking for an honest answer. Um, you know, not because—

are you, are you married?

Yes, I am.

And, uh, if— has your husband ever given you anything but a fully positive response?

Uh, no.

Have a great day. We're going to hear this one on the montage, I'll tell you that. That was a great moment. I'm looking for an honest answer. Has he ever given you a negative one? No. I'm glad you're laughing as well because it's pretty funny. 'Cause so in fact, you've never really been, your thesis has never been tested, has it?

Well, I've had experience, you know, with previous relationships.

Yeah, but they're all previous relationships. That may be one of the reasons. I gotta, oh, this was precious. God bless you. That really was. That was a classic moment. Was that the right question or not? She's 37 years old. They're probably married, I don't know, 10 years, let's say. He has never given anything but, "You look great." And she's telling me she wants an honest answer. Maybe she does look great. I, you know. Oh, thank you. I needed that. That was a great moment there. All right, let's go to I'm still cracking up. All righty, let's go to Nancy in Denver, Colorado. Hi, hello Nancy.

Hi Dennis, it's so nice to speak with you. Thank you. Um, my son has explained to me that, uh, when his wife of 11 years asks him that question, he and she have learned together about style and fashion. And when, when she asks 'Does this look good on me?' He is able to say yes because of these reasons, or no because of these reasons. And as a result, she respects his answer.

Yeah, but, but, aha, but we have— what we have done is deflected the question onto the clothing, away, away from her.

No, actually it's—

Because the way you posed it, it may not be the way they do it, but the way you posed it is, how does this look on me? Not how do I look in it. I know that it's a subtle difference, but how do I look and how does it look are not the same question. Guy could say, well, frankly, honey, I don't really care for that dress.

Oh no, but he is very specific about this makes you look good because, or no, this does not flatter you because. So it, um, he's able to—

okay, all right, hold on. Well, we got to take a quick break. 1-800-PRAGER-776, the Male-Female Hour. I'm Dennis Prager.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom.

You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show. Can I, can I share that? You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show, the male-female hour. And if somebody can come up with some helpful responses, you will do a service to couples, and especially to men, and therefore their wives, that cannot be overstated. And I am posing the question, what is a husband supposed to answer if a wife asks something to the effect, how do I look in this? Do I look fat? Or whatever variation on that question might work. We here at the show, however, I just might share because I just said, can I share it? I mean, we're very open, we guys, with each other. There's the emperor of the interns, Roy. There is Sean, our indomitable associate producer engineer. Of course, there's Alan and myself. And Sean, Sean is a big man. Is that fair to say? Is that okay? And Sean just looked at me with what he's wearing and said, Dennis, do I look fat in this? And I nodded, yes. And that was it. These guys are cracking up. However, one suspects that within a marriage and changing of the gender, the amount of laughter would be less than we just experienced here between guys. No, the truth is it's a very sensitive issue because, as I said, And this is not a product of a sexist world. It is a product of— or society, I should say— it is a product of nature that female looks are the more important looks in the human species. That's just the way it is. And so what do you do? Now the last one— do we still— she's gone in Denver. Why did she say her son and daughter-in-law have worked out? He has studied fashion with her? And will answer— I wish she were still on because I would have asked her, I was going to— what will he say? She said, well, he'll comment on, well, the reason you look good in this or don't look good, you don't look good in this one, or this one doesn't— excuse me, this dress or this outfit doesn't look good on you because— what will he say? It doesn't match your complexion? It doesn't bring out your beautiful eyes? I mean, is he really gonna say, 'Cause honey, it, it, it, you know, I don't even want to say it, and I don't even know who she is, and I don't even want to say anything. I'm afraid to offend someone I don't know. Gives you an idea how we guys are trained on that one. All right, we go to Atlanta, Georgia, and Cindy. Hello, Cindy. Dennis Prager. Thanks for calling.

Hey, Dennis. Yes, I just tuned into your show.

I love the Male-Female Hour.

Thank you. And I had to laugh because I think the proper answer, in my case anyway, is, "Honey, I love you," and then tell me what the truth is.

Is that really— is that true?

Well, I've—

I'm— All right, has he ever said anything that wasn't positive?

Well, I don't—

I wouldn't necessarily call it negative.

He'll do the, well, you've been doing the ab workout, or you just need to give it a little longer, or—

Cindy, you're cracking me up. In fact, better than that, you're cracking yourself up.

I am because I'm not a big person. I've never been really heavy, but I'm one of those persons where like 3 or 4 pounds shows.

I understand. What are you, like 5'5"?

Uh, 5'8".

Oh, all right. So it shouldn't show that much, but it does anyway.

Okay. Right. But I'll do that same thing to him. Or I'll just comment.

So no matter what he says, he begins with "Honey, I love you." Because I think that kind of—

"Honey, I love you, but to tell the truth, we, uh, keep up those ab workouts." Because then it's, then it's, I've noticed, but it's not going to change my opinion of you.

Oh, I see. I see. So even though you really need ab workout.

Well, I've done it. I did it to him. I didn't realize how much it would hurt him because he had just developed this tiny little belly pooch and he's by no means overweight either. And I'd said something about it and I think it bothered him and he doesn't have it anymore.

No, that may very well be, but I still think the guy could take it better because the truth is that most of the time it's not going to affect the way a woman sees a man that she loves and looks matter more vis-à-vis women. It's just a fact. Is that fair to say?

I guess it's fair to say, but I guess my thing was—

whoops, oh, too bad, I by accident did the drop thing. All right, anyway, she was terrific, but it gives you an idea how hard it is. Look, he has to preface it. See, it would seem to me that if a guy prefaced it with, honey, I love you, isn't she getting ready? I mean, that's like a giveaway. Honey, I love you. Uh-oh. Yeah, uh-oh. Yeah. I think that's almost— I don't— folks, I am a man of many opinions. It's one of the reasons you listen to me. If I didn't have opinions, then I wouldn't have this job. But in this particular regard, I don't have any great piece of advice for men. That's one of the reasons I'm saying whoever can come up with some good answers, Look, the ideal, I guess the ideal is that they are both secure in each other's love. She does not take it as an offense if he points out something. On the other hand, I have known of couples where the guy was a nut. I mean, a nut. He wanted his wife to look like Twiggy or some of these models that are brought out from starvation centers in North Korea. And so, you know, I have no sympathy for those guys. And so that's why it's a— I guess it's an individual case basis, but it would be ideal, if I can offer an ideal, it would be ideal if he could answer it Honestly. That would be the ideal. All right, let's go to— we'll go to a male for a change. Winnetka, California. Tom. Hello, Tom. Dennis Prager.

Dennis, how you doing? You make my day every day listening to your show.

Oh, thank you for that.

Great. I told your screener that something came up pretty interesting the other night. We go out to dinner every Friday night. I've been married for 30 years. And marriage is just greater every day we live.

That's great.

She comes to me and says, how do I look? I said, you look great. You always look great. She goes, no, how do I look? I said, well, I said, you don't look sexy in that. Let me put it that way. It's nice, but you don't look sexy.

So, all right. So wait, wait. So what you did, and that's fine, is deflect the question onto the outfit, right? Okay. But what if, what if she wasn't looking sexy for some reason in your eyes?

Well, I, you know, I don't know that, you know, being married for 30 years and getting better every day, I don't know that that is really part of my mindset.

Wow. All right, that's quite a marriage, and I mean it sincerely. Back in a moment.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom.

Why does it always seem to be me looking at you with you looking at It's always the same. It's just a shame. That's all. Are we gonna now hear an ad? Is that it? You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show, the male-female hour. Watching it on YouTube without the sound because it would go over the air. It's just making me laugh. This poor guy who's the actor in this particular ad, uh, is It's been slapped about 12 times in the first 20 seconds. I am trying to inject some degree of levity because it's such a sensitive topic. I am entirely aware of that. There is no man who has ever been married who is not. And it is very understandably a super sensitive subject. But that's why it needs to be confronted, and that is, what does a man answer to the question of his wife, how do I look? Or how do I look in this? Or do I look fat? Or however the question is phrased. I mean, you know, we're grown-ups. It doesn't take much to acknowledge that how a woman looks is, in the human species, more important than how a man looks. You know, I will get letters. I know I will get letters now. You know, well, Dennis, what about how the guy looks? And you know, well, why don't you talk about that? And, uh, and I, I think a guy should care about how he looks, frankly. I do, absolutely. Uh, uh, but in— within the human species, the female physical attractiveness is of greater consequence. A gorgeous guy with, uh, with that— without a job is less likely to attract a woman than a mediocre-looking guy with even a touch of a belly who makes a very nice income. Somehow his house and car compensate a great deal for lack of hair on his head and— not that that— with a lot of guys it's very sexy, by the way. Just whatever your physical ideal for a man might be. Whereas it doesn't compensate in the case of women. That's why so often wealthy men, obviously successful men, will marry their secretary. Not for her income. So the question is meant seriously. Do we have this ad ready? Do we have— hello? Hello, Sean? Sean is too busy watching it. Hello, hello, hello. He's mesmerized, and this is really a charming moment. All right, we'll catch his attention later. Let me get the call here. Uh, Carla in Santa Ana, California. Dennis Prager, hi.

Hey Dennis, okay, here's what I think the main problem is. Are you ready?

Yes.

Okay, this doesn't just apply with this, but it's you saying what is a man supposed to answer. Okay. And I think men personally, they, instead of being honest and speaking from their heart, they want to give the right answer so they're not in trouble.

That's right.

Okay, that is not good in my opinion, because I don't want a wimp that's afraid to offend me and stay out of trouble. That's a child, not a man.

Carla, what You are great. Well, you are right. You are great. And that is exactly— that is, if there is a right answer, that is the right answer.

It is. And I have a son. I don't need to. So what I want from my husband is the honest truth. And if he— each husband will have to tune it to their wife. Most women really don't want a yes man. It makes you lose respect for them, makes you not want to have sex with them. A lot— there's a lot of issues wrapped up in this. And when a guy says, well, what do you want me to answer? It's like, loser, wimp. A real man will say, you know what, my husband will say, you're beautiful, but honestly, you— that shirt and how it's just— you can look better. And I'll say, okay, I don't get offended, like, big deal.

And if you gained weight, would, uh, to the extent that it would trouble him, would he, would he tell you?

Yep.

He has.

Okay, Carla.

But he does say that he still loves me.

Yes.

And he says I have a Botticelli body. You know, sometimes he says, "You're not fat, you're just born in the wrong century." That's adorable. So I'm just saying, I don't personally, and most of all my friends, it builds up distrust because we feel like they just don't always want to get in trouble. So I would encourage men in anything, don't think, "What does she want me to say?" because that is uh-uh. That's just a turn-off. I want a man, not a boy. And you'll get more sex that way.

Which immediately is going to have men in the millions be more honest. That's all you have to promise. That— and I have a lot to say on that. This is actually a very, very important issue, and as we get deeper into the show, I'll inject less and less levity and more and more seriousness. What does a man answer to, honey, do I look fat? How do I look in this? How do I look? Etc. Carla calls and says, look, if a man is that afraid of saying something, that will offend his wife, that is not sexy to a woman. It means that he is not strong enough, and women want a strong man. I happen to agree with that. At the same time, I also sympathize for the men who are going to be in the doghouse for a great period of time at no gain if they are honest. It is a very difficult issue because it's really, it's far more than how do I look in this dress. It's really, am I appealing to you? And what is a more important question? I mean, there are many important questions in a marriage, but I'm not sure that there are many more important ones than that. Given what we know and what we have discussed on this program, on the Male-Female Hour— this is the Male-Female Hour in case you're just tuning in, I'm Dennis Prager— given what we have discussed about the nature of men and the nature of women, and especially the nature of men in this regard, I mean, this is a very important subject. And if he doesn't give an honest answer, it could— I mean, what if she has— what if he feels she has let herself go for whatever reason and says nothing and increasingly becomes less attracted to the wife that he was deeply attracted to? How could that be good for either of them? What favor is being done? It's like it's buying peace at a terrible price. At the same time, there are men who are nuts and want their women to be stick figures like they see on television. So that's— I'm not advocating that either, obviously, but there has to be some place for honesty in this regard. And if the doghouse is the result, then that has to be confronted then. Don't ask if you really don't want an answer. At the same time, of course, you put it in ways that can be kind. You have to put it in ways that are kind. All right. Let's go to— Let's go to Amarillo, Texas, and Derek. Hello, Derek. Dennis Prager, thanks for calling.

Hi, Dennis. Thank you for taking my call.

Thanks for calling.

Well, I just, uh, I thought maybe because this is what I do with my wife just almost on a daily basis, but she really tries to look her best for me every day. When we're out together, people always comment how well she's dressed, how she looks, and stuff like that. But, uh, by the time that I see her during the day, um, usually the first comment I try to get out of my mouth is, oh baby, you look great, or something like that.

Well, that's terrific, you know.

And I know she, she tries to appear well dressed.

I mean, and to— and take care of herself physically.

Exactly.

Okay, that— God bless you and her. This I want to just say to— to— if you're married to a decent and healthy guy, I always have to— if you're not, then obviously nothing matters here, but if he's basically decent and basically healthy You're trying to take care of yourself in and of itself is a huge turn-on to him. That, remember I spoke about something very sensitive that women don't, many women don't know and can't know unless they're told. And that is that what a woman does in that realm is her, one of her most powerful ways of saying to a man, I love you. Offering herself to him, uh, and, uh, and taking care of herself in that way. These are big statements of I love you. Obviously there are other statements— kindness, daily kindness, uh, you know, helping out, uh, making a meal for him. I mean, there are a million ways, I understand, but there is no bigger way than this one. Otherwise he'd have married a male roommate. So it's, it's a big deal. And, uh, just knowing that you are— you care that way. And by the way, this, this goes for any age. My, my mother is 90 and, uh, recently has been, uh, been not so well. It was very, very new in, in her life. But till 89, and I could show you pictures, I mean, how she would have her hair done and how she would dress every day beautifully. I mean, she stayed beautiful. And I'm not saying this because I'm her son. I could easily provide the photographic data. Alan, who knows her, is nodding his head yes. My mother stayed beautiful through her 80s, through her late 80s. And dressed that way and took care of herself that way every single day. This matters. And put on makeup. I don't get this notion of the no makeup idea. What is it, a '60s idea? Be natural? Well, natural is body odor. Why shower every day? You don't need it for hygiene. If you really want to be natural, smell natural. That's a turn-on in the animal kingdom. So that's a, uh, that, that's a bit— that's a big one. Maplewood, Minnesota. Michelle. Hello, Michelle. Dennis Prager.

Hello. Thank you for taking my call.

Thank you for calling.

Okay, well, I just think that honestly there's not a one-size-fits-all because you have people who are either very super sensitive to, you know, bad— people saying bad things about them, but they'll ask anyway and then get all upset. You have men that might be a little more insensitive when they're giving their comments. You might have people have really strong marriages that can talk freely with each other, where you might have other marriages that aren't that strong, and so, you know, you can push the buttons and things like that. But in our marriage, we're lucky enough that when I ask my husband, I really do want to know how I look. And so one thing that I was thinking—

Okay, tell us in a moment. Don't go away.

This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom.

Oh no, you say goodbye, I say hello. Honey, be honest, do I look fat in this?

No, not at all.

Oh, you liar! Babe, check this out. Do I look fat?

Honey, no. You look skinny.

What? What do you mean, skinny dead? Skinny anorexic? Yes or no, does my ass look fat in this?

No, no.

And anyway, I don't mind fat asses, honey.

All right, what is that? It's a British ad for what? Coke Zero. And she looks very good, by the way, just to make it clear. Uh, what April? It's silly to give the number. I don't want you to waste your time dialing right now. All right, let's finish with Michelle here. The male-female hour question today is, what does a man tell his wife when she asks— respond to his wife when she asks, how do I look in this, or do I look fat, or what? Whatever the question is Michelle, so finish up there, Michelle. Thank you.

Oh, so I was thinking that perhaps if the husband likes a different outfit on her or doesn't like the one that's on her, he could say, you know, it's not bad, but I really like you in this other outfit. What do you think about that?

Yeah, but then again, the issue is the outfit, not, not her. That's easy. A guy, a guy, most guys can say, look, you know, I'm not a big fan of that dress. That's easy. I mean, you could say that on, you know, on a supermodel, but it's no reflection on the woman. It's a reflection on the dress. She's not asking only about the dress. She's asking about how does she look.

Could he turn it back on her, like, well, what do you think? Do you feel good in that?

Do you feel— Oh, well, that's— Yeah, exactly. Thank you for laughing, because that's a bad one. Once he turns it back, she suspects it's a bad sign. Okay, look, this is an unbelievably difficult subject. I, my view is that the more honesty in a marriage, the better. That it has to be done couched in love in both directions. There are things he's sensitive about. I mean, there are no-nos. I mean, there are areas where it's just silly to enter. I acknowledge that. And if a marriage feels that this is one of them, but given the importance of this to most men, it is something to confront. And, and the wife who enables— if you give your husband freedom in this area, you will get anything you want. That's what it really comes down to. Men, men in that sense, the most, the most profound and deep men are ultimately pretty simple in relationships, a lot simpler than the other sex in most cases. Karen, Matt, Daniel, Christine, Glenn, I would have loved who to have heard you. Uh, please send me emails, folks. I love reading your emails in response, uh, to all of this. All right, I, I hope this was of value to you. Tomorrow on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager, it has been a major, major honor and delight to have the most regular guest in Prager Show history, Alison Armstrong. Hi. In fact, Alison was in high school when we first met. It sort of feels that way.

It kind of, it kind of does. We, um, this is, this is our 20th year.

Is that right?

January of 2004 is when I was first on with you.

So in a nutshell, let me just say about Alison Armstrong Her story is very powerful. She wanted to understand men. The number of women who want to understand men is equal to the number— I'm trying to think of a truly absurd analogy— to the number of submarines that also fly. That, that's a little overstating it. I know, but by the— you know, we actually— we— I'm going to explore, as always, what you want to talk about. You have, you have free rein on my show. Uh, but it's, it's that— I'd like to do that with you once. How many women really want to understand men? And vice versa, how many men want to understand women? You have a topic in mind and take it away, Allison Armstrong.

Oh, well, thank you for having me here. I'm really excited and I apologize, it was on me. I missed the first season ever in as long as we've been doing seasons. So I'm sorry if people are like, where's the winter season? That was me and about 400 inches of snow.

Wow.

Yeah, I'm still getting used to living here in Steamboat Springs, and we had one of the— it's like second in, you know, the last 30 years record snow. I was buried, but I'm glad to be here. And what I want to talk about is conflict. And people have asked me about fighting and arguments, and so I'm just calling it conflict. And there's a certain kind of conflict that is most likely to have a fighting thing going on with it. And so it's one of the kinds I want to talk about.
