Do you find these questions annoying?

Post Reply New Topic

Questions that require only one type of answer, otherwise, you are being rude.

Examples:

Do you think my daughter is beautiful?
Do you think my girlfriend is beautiful?
Do you think I look ugly now that I have gained 200 pounds?
Do you think my country is beautiful?
Do you think I look fat in this dress?

Don't you just want to tell these people to "go f***k off". It is like they are asking for trouble by asking questions that may piss them off if you don't give them the right answer.

The next time someone asks a question like that,
I'll plead the 5th Amendment.

It's a bad idea to ask that type of question. It's like fishing for compliments. It appears egotistical, shallow and vain to ask people questions like that. I have made the mistake of asking someone if I was fat and since I was thin it didn't matter, but now I conclude they are pointless questions indeed.

I respond with something approximating: "I really cannot answer this question as you're asking things I just completely don't notice. I'd suggest you ask someone else if you need to ask someone"... which is completely true.

Yes I hate those questions. I hate when people ask anything and then get mad when they didn't like the answer. I then just assume they were wanting to hear a certain answer when that happens.

I dislike those questions too because it puts me into the awkward position to either lie or be rude, since most people who ask them can't expect a positive answer. I usually try to evade the question or answer with so many details the person loses interest.

i usually go political on them; if i cant get away with the 'sorry didn't hear' i try first.
just talking a lot about how beauty is in the eye of the beholder and such comments, leaving them, usually, satisfied without answering the question

I usually answer "I'm probably not the best person to ask".
Which is the absolute truth.
You ask me a question like that and push me to answer and I'll tell you the truth.
Since you probably don't want the truth, you'd better ask somebody else.

I have a couple of Aspie friends who ask a lot of questions similar to this, more about ethical issues/dilemmas in this case. It's awkward.

I have asked people some of these questions, but I wanted an honest answer, and not a positive one, necessarily. I stopped asking most people when it became clear that I couldn't trust people to give me the answer I needed.

Woman in clothes shop to me: "do I look good in this dress"
(she didn't at all)
Me: no.
Woman: *goes off in a huff muttering about youngsters these days*

I didn't understand her reaction, she didn't look good!

I do find questions like those incredibly annoying.
In my experience if u say they do look beautiful they think u are lying but if you say no, they think you are being rude.

I also find it aggravating when I ask a question, wanting an honest answer, and people just tell me what they think I want to hear.

I've learned to give people the answers they want, for the most part. But sometimes, when I'm distracted, I'll offend people by answering that their hair looked better before they cut it, or that a particular garment doesn't fit very well.

And the correct response is a question "Why are you asking me?" "I'm not sure" and "No comment" are also excellent responses. If you find that rude then quit asking rude questions.

Yes and it's usually NT females who ask them. I just tell those people that I can't comment on things that are unnoticable to me.

Those questions should be given borderline "Religion and Politics" status in terms of never-ask-no-matter-what.

I would raise an eyebrow and remain silent, hoping that the other person gets the hint that they're being rude by putting me on the spot.
