BTW I normally say “she’s alright”… I usually become aware of something I don’t really like in the other girl such as visible collarbones. ---

On the show about marrying “Prince Harry” - “you look wonderful tonight”… my wife said some of them were pretty. I said that my wife was “hot stuff” and she liked that. ---

How about “I’m creepy”? I realize it’s not exactly what you asked for, but it does keep popping into mind for some reason. ---

> [@papergirl](#): > > Men call me adorable. Really, they do. But I believe that what they mean is “You have a cheery smile and are cute in a slightly overweight, roly-poly puppy sort of way.” They most distinctly do NOT mean that I am “hot.” Just a little input from this perspective. I don’t mean to be too forward, here, but that sounds exactly like “hot” to me. ---

You’re not the best But you’re not the worst Won’t be my last But you’re not the first And some folks say you’re simple Others call you plan You never give me pleasure But you never cause me pain You’re my mediocre mama If you’re good then I can’t tell You don’t do nothing special But you don’t do it well “Mediocre Mama” Doug Robinson ---

We have instructed **JohnClay** to refrain from all posting on his relationship with his wife, including, but not limited to, sex through July 1, 2014. To help him comply with this instruction, I am closing this thread. **twickster** , MPSIMS moderator [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/youre-lovely/689072.md?page=1)
