Correct Male Responses
男人正确的回答
What makes these questions so bad is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer properly.
这些问题之所以说它们不好是因为每一个问题如果男人回答得不正确都会导致一场吵架甚至是离婚。

问题一：“你爱我吗？”
The correct answer to the question is, "Yes." or if you want to be more elaborate, you may answer, "Yes, dear." Wrong answers include:

A. I suppose so.
A. 我想是的。
B. Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
B. 我说是你是不是会感觉好些？

Question 2: "Do I look fat?"
问题二：“我看起来胖吗？”
The correct male response to this question is to confidentl and emphatically state, "No, of course not!" and then quickly leave the room. Incorrect answers include:

Question 3: "Do you think she's prettier than me?"
问题三：“你觉得她长得比我好看吗？”
The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were staring at or an actress in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is, "No, you are much prettier." or simply "Of course not!" Wrong answers include:
这个问题中的“她”可能是你的前任女友或是你盯着看的一个过路人或是你们正在看的电影里的女演员。不管是谁，正确的回答是：“不，你要漂亮得多。”或者“当然没你漂亮！”错误的回答包括以下几种：

Question 4: "What would you do if I died?"

A definite no-win question. No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions. This might be the stupidest question of the lot, as is illustrated by the following stupid exchange:
这绝对是个没法回答的问题。不管你怎么回答，都要准备好回答至少一小时的后续问题。这是最愚蠢的问题，正如下面的对话展现的：
Woman: Dear, what would you do if I died?
女人：亲爱的，我死了以后你会怎么办？
Man: Why, dear, I would be extremely upset. Why do you ask such a question?
男人：亲爱的，我会非常伤心。你怎么会问这样的问题？
Woman: Would you get married again?
女人：你会再结婚吗？
Man: No, of course not, dear.

男人：当然不是，亲爱的。
Woman: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
女人：那你为什么不想再结婚？
Man: Alright, I'd remarry.

女人：你会？（看上去有些伤心）
Man: Yes.
男人：是的。

女人：那么你会把我的照片都取下来换成她的吗？（冷冷地）

女人：是吗？（在跳脚儿了）我想你还会让她用我的高尔夫球杆吧。
Man: Of course not, dear. She's left-handed...
男人：当然不，亲爱的，她是左撇子……
Question 5: What are you thinking about?
问题五：“你在想什么？”
