Men: What are you accomplishing when you tell the daughter

[Tuesday Afternoon]

how good looking is her mother?

[Ptah]

1. a lullaby

Your daddy's rich, and your ma is good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. ahhh

sweet summertime. Life should be so easy. :hug: :hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. Hi Tuesday Afternoon...

In what context? Do you mean a young man dating the daughter telling her how good looking the mother is?

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. A complete and total stranger to the daughter (however the mother

may or may not know the man)and says to the girl "You do realize that your Mother is very good-looking."

[Schema Thing]

5. Mision: lameness: accomplished.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. success. no score

:thumbsup:

[LeftyFingerPop]

6. Well, it probably means that the man is sexually attracted to the mother...

I mean, you can tell a woman she is attractive without being sexually attracted to her, but in this case...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. How should the daughter respond?

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. "Thank you"...and then hope it isn't brought up again. n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. yes. Manners....

Must not mention chopped liver. must not.

[Deep13]

11. Assuring them they will still look good in 20 years?

:shrug:

Having never said that, I can only speculate.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. maybe that is the intent....I think I should have posted this the other

way around....and ask the duaghters how do they feel when this comment is posed to them. Thanks.

[Inchworm]

13. Well when someone says how adorable Austin looks...

I say he gets it from his grandpa :)

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. but, of course

:hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

14. I think it would make the daughter feel inadequate

[LeftyFingerPop]

15. I tend to agree with this. n/t

[Moondog]

18. Yeah, me too. n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. do they not realize this?

I know their Johnson is making the comment but, sheesh Louise :eyes:

[Curtland1015]

19. That you've got the hots for their mother?

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. and you have this urgent need to inform the daughter....

hoping for a threesome, perhaps :P :eyes: :shrug: or really :wtf: :wow: :wtf:

23. sorry

Just that song "Stacys Mom" my attempt at levity

In reality, It sounds a little wierd. 20 years into a friendship, It might make sense in trying to reassure someone that they are not in fact so old/decayed as they might be tempted to feel. Or in a totaly tactless person, it might mean anything from "I want your mom" to "you know, your mom is old, and still hot, so chances are good that you will also age well and might therefore be an acceptable mate for myself based on this completely venal concept of beauty" to "my mouth moves and words come out, but I have no control over it in any way whatsoever".

24. thanks for that. I just laughed out loud.

:D I remember that song.........

gotta run now. Have a great day :hi:
