Would you still love me if <inane hypothetical situation here>

oooh! Now that’s a good comeback on that one! Will have to file that away…
Although the funny part of that one was that she threw that question out and then after a short pause, remembered what my “standard response” was to those questions (the one I mentioned in the prior post).

I’d have to be on top all the time and I’m horribly out of shape. I was mostly just teasing her though, because we don’t even love each other ‘that way.’ …At least, I don’t think we do.

Bear_Nenno, I laughed till I cried. :smiley:

Heh, that was almost my exact answer. Should’ve thrown it in the OP…

My wife used to do this. I’m 6’2" and wear size 13 shoes. She was 5’1" and wore little tiny shoes. She would put my shoes on and ask if I would still love her if her feet were this big. I’d simply say “No way”. We’d both laugh, and that would be that. I can’t imagine anyone asking their mate a question like that in all seriousness. For us it was a playful way to flirt.

I always ask my wife, “Would you still love me if kept asking you hypothetical questions?”

My girlfriend and I play this game a lot, but just for amusement.

Me: Would you still love me if I had no ears?
Her: …nope.
Me: No eyes?
Her: …nope.
Me: No nose?
Her: …nope.
Me: No mouth?
Her: …more than ever.

Hilarity.

My friends (and many other people my age from my area) play a version of this game all the time. Basically, if you do something really dorky or stupid, you laugh it off by asking “would you still be my friend if I was like this all the time?” The other person might laugh, or say “no way, dude,” or “we’re not friends!” but the point is that of course they would be. We’re all big dorks, and we’re all still friends. My fiance and I do this, but then again we started off as friends in high school. If anyone every broached a serious topic like a burning building, we would be horrified. IMHO, the only place for such games is as a way to break the ice after something awkward happens. That kind of question asked with any seriousness would be unacceptable.

Has she been reading Dan Simmons? In his Hyperion books there is a young woman who gets mixed up in a sort of time warp thingy and starts getting younger, while everyone around her is aging normally. But she ages backwards at the same rate they go forwards, not one year every day. (That would be absurd!)

… so hilarity in shoes ?
