Bobo, of course, that’s probably what your honey says to you all the time because it’s true

I remember you wrote that post about him having such high expectations. You are so lucky!

Dariana, I think it all comes down to that.

If you are honest to other people, you would expect honesty back from them.

Sure, being tactful plays a part in it, but I’d rather know. Then maybe I can do something about it.

Jo, exactly. I don’t like the BS either. If my ass looks big, let me know and I’ll change into somethng else that makes it look better.

Okay, so maybe I’ll feel peeved about it. But I’d rather know before I leave the house, than seeing it in some mirror while I’m out.

You think?

Samantha, this is a question more often asked than people realize.

And I’d rather people be objective rather than subjective either. I would appreciate it if people told me that I didn’t line my eyebrows properly and it’s looking like Mrs. Munster so that I can go into the washroom and fix it.

Don’t you thin it’s the same concept?

Katharina, next time I rewrite this post, I’ll make sure to include an additional option.

Simone, it is human nature to always seek assurance that we are doing ok.

I wrote this post originally because growing up, I used to be the one asking the question all the time – before a date, a night out with the gang, or just even going to the movie.

I knew I looked okay, if not great, but still I need to ask.

Jay, you dig the *honesty is the best policy* routine?

Like SageMother, delivery is the key!

LOL.

Andy, sugar coating goes a long, long way…. especially in a relationship.

Guilty as charged. I’ve done the asking. And got really depressed at times if I didn’t like the answer. So my husband has learned to sugar coat…. along with evolving to being a *metrosexual*

SageMother, I’ve always believed that honesty is the best policy.

And when it comes to our body image, sometimes it’s that personal vanity in us that just wants to hear what we like to hear.

A dose of reality could be the first step in going the right direction.

You’re so right. Always offer an alternative.
