427410 2006-02-05 09:11:00 When I was packing up my mtb after a thrash around the trees today, a young couple rode past. The (very attractive) young woman was riding in front, and as they went past, she called back to her male companion "Do I have muscles in my calves like you do?"

For a moment the world stopped still, as I sent up a silent prayer that he would THINK VERY CAREFULLY before he answered that dynamite loaded question.

I did not hear his response, but I wish him well either in this life or the next, wherever he ended up.

What would your answer have been? There is no prize... However, thinking about it now may help you in a similar life threatening situation in the future...

It would depend on the truth, if for some reason they were, I would say yes.

Now if they weren't, which is the most likely option :p I would tell the truth in a mild way, IE no, but not very close to it, and then say I liked them the way they were, that should work in keeping my life :D :p

427413 2006-02-05 09:33:00 You should've called out an answer. ninja (1671)
427414 2006-02-05 09:33:00 "They are very consistent with the rest of your physique dear... look out for the pot hole/bump/branch/motorway ahead."

This is a mutli-pronged reply:

a) a non-committal answer

b) a diversionary tactic designed to show your concern for her wellbeing :thumbs:

427415 2006-02-05 09:40:00 The tactful answer would be "and very attractive ones too I have to say, in keeping with the legs".

The truthful answer could well have been "I cannot tell with legs as hairy as yours, but probably you do".

But in all honesty, he would have been better to ride straight under a bus at that point. Much less ongoing problems.

427418 2006-02-05 10:18:00 he should have said "Yes, you have man legs". Metla (12)
427419 2006-02-05 18:45:00 From womans point of view. I don't think this is one of those do I like nice - yes you do, questions.

Anyway my husband would just say whatever was the case.....

He says things to me like, if I am sitting on the doorstep, don't sit there - no-one can fit past you, you take up so much room.... :eek:
