A Question of Sluttiness


So here's the conversation:

Me: I'm headed out to meet Denise and Kate.
Husband: No pants?!

Me: Crap. I'm going up to change.

Husband: NO, I love no pants. Come over here so I can see. It's hot. It's a great outfit.

Me: Oh, they'll think I look slutty. I'm going to change. (muttering under breath) How do these teenagers pull off leggings?!

(awkward silence)

Husband: Just want to point out that I said you look hot and you now think that means your friends will think you look slutty. (muttering under breath) Girls are crazy.

This was one of my brave outfits. I had it in my head for a long time before I gathered myself up to wear it.

I mean...no pants. Anytime my butt isn't firmly encased in denim, I'm worried.

But it gave me pause, what he said. At our age, a man's hot is still a woman's slutty? Geez. How middle school.

  1. How could this post possibly not have ANY comments on it? This is so delightfully delightful. Sometimes I think, for logistics, straight women should marry gay men, so that we can get the kind of male insight we need when we're headed out to meet other women. (What?) I don't know. I just didn't want to see this very funny post go without comment.

  2. I just came across this article. It is the funniest and best dialogue that I've seen printed on this subject. There always has to be a hint of truth to make something funny and this is very, very funny!
