Men, if you've been married for any length of time, then you've no doubt fallen prey to a trap question. Women love asking questions they don't want answers to, just so they can start a fight. It's in their nature. But we got you, fam.
Check out these common trap questions wives love to ask and how you should respond to each:
Q: Which one of my friends is the prettiest?
A: You have female friends? I never noticed.
Q: Do you think Sydney Sweeney is attractive?
A: What is a "Sydney Sweeney"?
Q: Does this dress make me look fat?
A: Get behind me, Satan!
Q: Would you still love me if I were a colossal desert sandworm?
A: What Shai-hulud has decreed must be. Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. MAY HIS PASSAGE CLEANSE THE WORLD
Q: Which celebrity do you have a crush on?
A: Henry Cavill, obviously.
Q: What do you want for dinner?
A: Whatever you're thinking of right now, sweetheart.
Q: What should we watch tonight?
A: No matter what you put on the TV, I'll just be watching you.
Q: If I died, would you remarry?
A: No, because I would die too.
Q: What's the best way to repair the carburetor on a 1988 Ford Ranger that's stalling out at idle?
A: That's a trick question. The 1988 Ford Ranger uses a fuel-injected engine, not a carburetor. The issue is probably a dirty throttle body or a small vacuum leak.
Q: Do you notice anything different about the way I look today?
A: Only that you grow even more beautiful with every rising and setting of the sun.
Q: Do you like my family?
A: I don't know half of them half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.
Q: Do you remember what today is?
A: Throw a flashbang and RUN!
You'll have a better marriage in time if you use our handy answers here. Good luck, men!

Well, my wife did remind me that she was probably 80 years old then!
Elizabeth Cotton was probably the most famous person who played that way. She composed ‘Freight Train’ and finger picked it!
I’ve met several people over the years who do that with various instruments.
As a music instructor, it has been my experience that most ‘lefties’ are actually ambidextrous,but haven’t developed their ‘rightie’ capabilities.

Amen!
Do they switch the strings around or play upside down?
Either/or...
And then there are all the alternative tunings and setups like David Gilmore’s “high-strung” guitar used in Comfortably Numb, which make the order of strings nearly irrelevant.
I’ve played right-handed standard tuning for over 60 years now, there’s little chance I’ll experiment with anything else unless arthritis hits my left hand before the right.
No. Your fat makes you look fat.
I would still want you in my life if Sydney Sweeney dates me. Someone would have to wash the dishes.
No I wouldn’t remarry. I learned my lesson already.
I want to eat whatever you’re going to cook for dinner
After years of living off grid in an RV I support this advice.
Calendar apps are very useful. I can’t even remember what day it is let alone lovely’s birthday.
Even when I forget. I am the cook of the couple. I love cooking. So even when I forget what day it is I make dinner and say “because everyday is special with you”
Hmmm. A burning midget....
I haven’t run in to that....yet
Indeed. We need common interests to keep the spark going with our mate. My new lady (10 years now or so) both play guitar. (We don’t live together) So there is always something new to do together. Learn a new tune, new riff, new duet. Even when we get grouchy we can refresh our relationship with a new tune book.
The happiest married couples I know all share common interests.
