Questions women ask and what is the right answer - Page 3

Thanks, now for some answers and commentst on the advice provided.

On age, she is 25, I am older than her but within the 1/2 plus 7 guideline.

Comics, no superheros - I think this question was asked because of the original comic art I have and other art work in my apartment (Original art from Peter Bagge, Will Eisner, Bob Fingerman, Kurt Vonnegut)

I thought about answering the sex question with ask this question in 45 minutes and I'll tell you. I've been asked this question before, right after sex, and know the right answer at that point in time to be 5 minutes ago.

I also think there may be some cultural issues and that I may be missing certain cues to answer, she is from Hong Kong and lives in the burb's with her parents, I am born and raised in Canada and have lived most of my life in small towns, but now live in a gentrifying downtown neighbourhood.

Keep up the (funny) answers, I may still get to use them with woman # 2. This weekend could be crazy with a date on Saturday with one and a date with the other on Sunday. The oddest thing is that they are both the same age and so completely different it is not even describable.

ugh oh... she is from Hong Kong?

This might be a bit different then. Can't be so brash to her then, she might not understand that you're joking. My experience is that asian woman tend to be more..... oh nevermind, just flip her off and grab her ass.

lol love that reaction. It's okay for me to laugh, I was born in Hong Kong (although moved to Canada when I was quite young). As well, if her mindset is not very 'westernized' or 'americanized', she might naiive to the implications of asking those kinds of questions. Some of the stuff we are used to, or think of, would be totally inconcieveable to her that she would never have thought of it being significant.

I would expect that she is pretty western, she has lived here for the majority of her life and does not live in the "Chinese" neighbourhood of the City so I would expect her to know how Canadians think.

I think this whole thing keeps coming back to her life experiences and expectations vs mine, they are not completely in line with one another, but I give her leeway beacuse she is attractive and young, while I think she may be less forgiving of my foibles and expectations.

"Honey, you're beautiful and I love you."

Repeat as needed.

If she really is from HK and not very western, you should just be honest.

The first one is bald? No accounting for taste, I suppose.

never got to find out if she was bald or how she tasted, which is one of the reasons it is over.

When was the last time you had sex?
How old where you when you lost your virginity?
Why did you break up with your last girlfriend?
Why do you still read comics? (more of a joke than need and answer)
Tell me a crazy story about yourself.

One of the women I am dating has asked me many of these questions and has been off put by my answers. Are there proper ways to answer these questions?

They were probably asking them because they wanted an excuse to be put off.

[or any question to quickly change the subject to something less awkward -- you don't want her dwelling on or begging for details of Your First Time. She'll just play it over and over in her mind and it will bug her incessantly.]

Why did you break up with your last girlfriend? -- "Oh it's a sad story... she decided to get back together with her ex-boyfriend..." [this white lie will enable you to play the sympathy card... you don't want to tell her you left your ex for someone hotter because this new girl will just think the same thing will happen to her eventually.]

Why do you still read comics? -- "I read them in their native Japanese because I don't care to have anything 'Lost in Translation' "

So for the first three questions -- remember that ambiguity is the key. Don't give her anything concrete that she can throw back in your face when she's angry at you. For the comics question - you may have to adjust your answer accordingly. And that last question so rarely comes up, you can just hit her back with a "well why don't you tell me a crazy story about YOURself first... I'm all ears..."
