What's the "safest" answer when your girlfriend asks you if her friend is hot?
Too suspicious when you recover, best bet is to actually die
Yea this guys got it
I did this once, and my “twin” started dating the friend.
"she's pretty dear but no where near as pretty as you".... So you think she's pretty?
No no 😭
Only right answer
Possum Lodge motto: Quando omni flunkus, moritati. (When all else fails, play dead.)
She does look sweaty now that you mention it.
Best, most neutral answer!
Weirdly enough there is a cute girl that just started at my job(I'm single so whatever) but I mentioned to a buddy of mine that works there that when she comes close to me to ask a question about the job that she has a bit of an off color smell to her and he replied with"bro I wanted to keep it to myself and not say shit but I know exactly what you're saying" because he's new as well.
Works for other situations too
"does my friend look sexy?"
"She does look sweaty now that you mention it."
the only right answer, take notes yall
Amazing
Gettin oniony
Well done bud
"How dare you even task me to cast my gaze upon that malformed, twisted joke of God"
This guy boyfriends
Thanks for sharing my new favourite subreddit btw
"Are you calling my friend ugly?"
"Are you calling my friend ugly?"
"I wouldn't call her ugly, but I would put a bag over my head during sex, just in case the bag on her head falls off"
Oh so you've considered how you'd fuck her?
Was just gonna throw this one out there 😂
This guy double bags
Thine friend is as appealing as a swine, mademoiselle
yup... no good answers to this question ... ever.
Oh, so my friend’s not good enough for you?
Bro just expanded my vocabulary 😂
roll for seduction
Of course- why? - did she ask for a 3some?
Leave out the "of course" bit lol, a response of "why? Did she ask for a threesome?" Is a far safer answer that can be played off as a joke.
It's like y'all ain't even male manipulators
Edit: if it wasn't clear this is a joke, I thought the male manipulator line made it obvious lol.
In my experience threesomes have a high likelihood of the third catching feelings, which isn't worth risking friendships.
If you actually want a threesome, you and your partner need to be cruising local kink forums/groups to find people who are far more liable to understand the gravity the emotions they are playing with, instead of a random friend with no experience in kink.
Did she ask for a threesome?" Is a far safer answer that can be played off as a joke.
Just to add to this,
If you girlfriend asks you which of her friends you would like to have a threesome with, DO NOT GIVE TWO NAMES!
Holy hell dude, I'm stealing this one!
Omg 😂 there’s coffee all over my shirt now
You don’t ever give a name, you let the name come to you
You do seem like you'd be pretty good at manipulating your way home alone tbf
Not a good joke. Did this in real life and caught shit about it for the next week until she broke up with me. I was still good with her parents and we laughed about it. And no, her friend dif not find it funny at all, nor did anything happen with her.
You gotta admit it's a good way to weed out the drama queens.
Sounds like it was a great joke then
Sounds like your ex sucked anyways
Well, ask stupid questions, get stupid answers, lol.
Your ex sounds lovely
That seems safe. I'd go with this one.
This
You either tell your girlfriend you only have eyes for her, or you go for the threesome. There is no in between.
"eh hard to say, not my type but I guess she's ok"
If she looks similar to your gf, you're fucked.
She's gfs identical twin.
"Physically, she's hot. Personality could use a little work." /j
As someone dating someone who happens to be an identical twin, that would be a hard question. I'm dreading the day it's ever asked.
There's not a safe answer, they're identical and even act a lot alike. But yeah, personality is always different.
“Obviously you are both very attractive, but you are the whole package. Your beauty is not just based on your looks. I love you.”
"Thanks but shouldn't you be telling that to my sister?"
I feel like her sister would ask, not her. I don't really ever see her asking it if I'm being honest.
My husband once said, in response to this question, "She's fuck-able, but I'd never be into her long-term; she's not my type." I was satisfied. It rang true, AND made me feel secure.
Yup this is the way
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening, I got a little distracted by your hot friend over there.
and then we both laugh it off, because my girlfriend is cool like that.
PSA: do not try this at home
I can’t imagine being with a girl that asked if I thought if someone was hot and then got mad at me for answering yes.
People be crazy
Crazy insecure.
There are only two situations where this question comes up:
You’re in a relationship with a person who finds the relative attractiveness of other people to be a comfortable topic of conversation without it being a source of insecurity, in which case the question is genuine and any honest answer that isn’t mean/creepy/weird is probably fine.
Or you’re with someone who finds the relative attractiveness of other people to be a source of personal insecurity and only brings it up as a test, in which case there is no safe answer because it’s not a real question.
This. I’m saying “3oclock, white sweater” for a reason man!
Exactly how my girlfriend talks when we are out haha
My wife and I talk about or mention guys or girls that we see that are attractive. It’s weird to pretend that other people aren’t attractive.
That’s a healthy relationship if I’ve ever seen one.
Yup. I'll never understand why some people think that you'll magically stop finding people attractive just because you're in a relationship.
Feel bad for most of the people in this thread who must live in constant fear of saying or doing the wrong thing around their crazy partners lol
Spoiler: most people here are single
Try it in public so there are witnesses
I don't know, let me feel her and find out. (blind guy here)
Like the scene in "Dude Where's My Car" when the blind kid is feeling up the alien titties. I'm sure you've seen it.
I doubt he’s seen it.
Yeah I don't think he has :p
Blind Guy McSqueezy here
Squeeze squeeze, honk honk
No no, that’s what deaf people say. Blind people talk normal
Well good thing I happen to be both. Pull off my cochlear implants and I'm deaf as a pole
Jesus. You should do an AMA. I can't imagine having two sensory disabilities. You've overxome some serious challenges 🥺
I wasn’t sure how well that joke would go over, so I appreciate you being a good sport, and you have my respect for living life with two sensory disabilities. Cheers
No worries, I can laugh at anything lol
Can laugh at anything with my electrolarynx
Bruh how are you using Reddit
Screen reader
It's amazing that people still don't realize this tech exists and has for decades. I guess it still doesn't get prioritized in web design as it should, but at least there seems to be greater awareness of accessibility issues than there once was.
I work in software/web accessibility and agree. At least now i can do my part to help the cause
"She was the one I was originally wanted, after she expressed she wasn't interested I moved on to you."
What music do you want played at your funeral?
Playboi Carti
HAHAHA I WAS GOING TO SAY STOP BREATHING
I'll play R.I.P. and mosh at your funeral. Catch me pushing your grandparents down in the pit.
“Man, 33, found bludgeoned to death at home. Girlfriend suspect.”
Don't worry, babe, you'll always be my #1numbertwo
Swap “moved on to” with “settled for” and add “so I can stay close to her”
Nah, I prefer guys

Pair with an indifferent shoulder shrug
“Oh you think she’s pretty huh??”
"yes, now stop acting like a child. Back to the more important question, are we going for burgers or tacos...because I'm hungry."
My brain doesn't, but my dick does.
“And you don’t? Some friend you are.”
So many people are answering with a hierarchy. Not as pretty as you babe. That just means some one will come along prettier and she will worry.
Address the insecurity, but don’t ‘call her out’ and make your partner defensive.
Why do you ask? I don’t see her like that; is there a reason for your question? Isn’t she your friend? All of your friends seems ‘insert word that references their personality or how they treat your girlfriend’ nice, thoughtful, good for you, fun, make you happy, and that’s what matters. Not what they look like.
Set the tone that her friends aren’t her competitors, but you seen them through a support group for her type lense.
Yeah this is the superior answer. I love how it's reassuring without playing more mind games or being dishonest.
Best
Perfect answer 👏👏 this guy gets the hoes
"Not as hot as you."
“So you do think she is then?”
What's wrong with viewing someone as good-looking when you're in a relationship?
It depends on from whose perspective you’re asking about. A stable and secure person should see nothing wrong with it. An insecure girlfriend such as the hypothetical one this post is referring to would see other women, especially attractive ones, as threats. I was quoting the response of the hypothetical insecure girlfriend that I envisioned when reading the comment I replied to.
Beat me to it!
Doesnt matter she is not you.
"STOP! I'm not interested in conversations about your friends appearance."
Why you never talk to me, let me check your phone you are hiding something, I dreamed it
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
The urgency in the STOP reminds me of Oblivion.
“STOP! You’ve violated the law!”
Make a face that implies slight disgust, then say "sure"
"Yeah, she's quite pretty."
Dials down the intensity that the word "hot" implies without you having to lie to your girlfriend.
And girl who's not off her rocker isn't going to be offended by you recognizing when a woman is attractive, unless the comment is prompted.
“Quite a handsome lady.”
A strapping lass.
What if she hits you with the “Yeah, but is she hot?”
“I’d have to see her naked to be sure, got any pics?”
Then you ask why it matters so much
This is the one. Ol' reliable
Bingo. Acknowledgement of looks (thus not clearly lying or evading) while not conveying the impression that you’re trying to have sex with her friend.
This is relationship diplomacy at its finest.
"If you died, I'd miss your funeral to bang her."
The sky is very clear today.
Oh hey, look at you, the ground
I am a girl and I thinks this question should be out of the table for every couple. Why?
No matter what you say it ends badly. Its the type you question somebody asks just to start drama!!
Yea I agree. This is a really uncomfortable question and it's unfair to ask a partner this.
Ooor your relationship is stable enough that you know finding someone attractive and being unfaithful are different things. I'm not suddenly asexual because I'm in a relationship, and neither is my wife.
My wife and I can discuss someone's attractiveness (be it friend or stranger) because we have the trust that we don't let anyone else disturb our relationship - not even mentally.
16 years and counting.
Yeah, if I dated a girl like that I'd run the other way if they asked something like this
"Whaaaaaaat, Katherine is a woman? I haven't even noticed. I thought all your friends were guys because I never really look at them that well, you know."
„I could swear she had a beard.“
My ex gave me an even more impossible riddle to answer... We were watching some boring reality show that she liked, a bunch of girls (downright bimbos, really) who were paired up with an equal number of nerdy guys. The women were tasked to do stuff like assembling a computer, the guys were tasked with something fashion-related or whatever, and they had to teach one another.
Anyway, my ex asked me during the scene in which the women were introduced which one of them I thought was the most attractive. I tried dodging the question but she insisted and promised me she wouldn't get angry whomever I picked. I kept dodging the question, but eventually I caved and just picked the girl that looked the most like my ex in terms of hairstyle, hair and eye color, height, etc. But apparently that was the wrong answer because (surprise!) she did get pissed and said that I must think she looks ugly if I liked skinny girls like that. Nice little detail: all of those girls were equally skinny. I couldn't have picked a chubby one if I tried. And it wasn't even like my ex was fat or something, she just had a little bit of chub and it honestly made her way sexier than any of those girls could dream to be. But tell that to a raging, insecure narcissist. 😅
Yup. The whole situation was a trap

only right answer
Give her a fake answer to go along with your fake girlfriend and her fake hot friend.
This hurt quite deeply, thank you
Damn I can't even get no rest on a Sunday 😭
The truth followed by a lecture on why questions shouldn't be asked if their only purpose is bait or if the truth hurts you.
Ain't nobody got time for mind games.
It was this moment she realized she married AI anti cheat, a mere program
“Do you think my friend is pretty?”
“As a human male in a committed relationship, I don’t have personal opinions on the “hotness” of other females. However, given your friend’s symmetrical face, smooth skin, large rack, small waist, and rounded butt, it is highly likely that most people would consider her a smoke show.”
The answer is and always will be no
Totally depends on if she’s hot. Always start with, I only have eyes for you. And finish with but your my only type.
“I don’t think there is a right answer to this and I don’t understand why you’re asking me this. I don’t want to insult your friend by saying no and I don’t want to insult you by saying yes. I don’t look at your friends in a sexual way and ‘hot’ has a sexual connotation. Nothing positive can come from this”
"She's cute but you're beautiful."
So why aren't I cute? Why don't you be with her if you think she's so cute
Because of your cannibal cats. You are beautiful though
Smoove
She stopped listening at cute
I'm going to be honest with her and if she doesn't like it she can break up with me. I'm choosing to be with her because she is attractive to me, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to the hotness.
My wife and I are both willing to say when someone is attractive, we choose to be with each other because we want to be, not because we are blind or dishonest.
It is weird how many answers in here presuppose an antagonistic relationship. If my wife asked me that it would be out of curiosity or to tease me, not to start a fight.
“Are you so insecure that you found it necessary to ask?”
UNO reverse 🤣
Funny but not helpful. How you say it matters and this reeks of a defensive response.
Why make it confrontational? No need for that. Learn more first
Tell her you’re not playing that game and then ignore the question.
YOU THINK ME A FOOL, WOMAN?
Flip a table on your way out.
Of course, that's why we used to date.
Fake a stroke.
Aww she's alright, not as hot as you though babe. Edit: DO NOT say this if the friend is in the same room.
If she is in the room, turn your head to that friend after saying this and say: "I'm joking, you are hotter than my girlfriend, I just don't want to hurt her"
I'd fuck her
“who?"
There is no safe answer.
The appropriate Answer is:
"Name, I love and respect you very much much. For this relationship to be respectful and to have a chance we should not ask easy other gotcha questions to play games / pick fights."
If she reacts negatively to this, move on.
Answer: I don't know, why do you think I see that?
Excitedly “Wait, does she think I’m hot?”
Truth
Not sure if it's the "safest" answer. But I would ask some questions to figure out what she actually is asking.
Is she asking out of fear? Fear that I like the friend more, that she is less than her friend etc
Is it a test for honesty?
Is there some other reason for why she actually wants to know my opinion about her friend like her friend feeling insecure?
Then I would address that question instead. I absolutely wouldn't do what most people here some to suggest. To go over the top and in various ways say that the GF is hotter. Feels icky to me because it doesn't feel like it would very honest or genuine and it implies that her value is in her looks. I don't think I've ever had a partner where their looks were the most important attribute to me.
Say, “Of course! All hot girls have hot friends!”
"oh is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?"
You have friends?
Bring her over tonight and we'll decide together. I then wake up and say "She's pretty but not as pretty as you."
“ She's below you babe “
"... but on top is also fine, I have no preference"
"Yer quite the cuck, aren't ya?"
The truth, hopefully.
Wouldn’ta fucked her if I didn’t. Now put some gas in the car, I got some bidniss to go take of.
"Meh, she's pretty enough."
The truth. If the truth isn't "safe," then neither is your girlfriend.
"Sorry, I need to go take a dump."
I mean, she's ok. Not sure if she's hot.
“I guess I could see why someone would think she’s attractive but personally I don’t think so” then fart so hard she has to give you space. Works every time
I say the truth…my missus is bi..so I Can agree with no repercussions..
Why are you asking?
Someone who would ask that question sounds like too much trouble.
That's a loaded question 😅
The truth because my significant other isn't a child, so if she asks me she really wants my opinion
Just don't even entertain an answer, it's a trap whether she realizes it or not.
I can't judge other girls in terms of beauty, even your friends.
Hi, woman who has asked this question of a man before here.
The answer doesn't matter as much as the reason we are asking the question in the first place. It usually comes from a place of insecurity, and a lot of the answers I've seen here have been good ones!
The best answer I've ever gotten to this question was from my current boyfriend of 12 years. He looked at me and said "Sure, she's pretty. A lot of girls are pretty. But none of them are you."
This worked so perfectly because it answered the real questions, which are "why are you with me? would you still choose me if someone else was prettier? am I good enough to keep you?"
This answer also it did it without feeling dishonest. Because we know that girl is pretty. That's why we asked it. We don't want a lie, we want to know that we matter more to you than just our looks.
Fake your death
