Men and body issues

This morning I made the mistake of asking my husband (semi jokingly) if he felt any cellulite on my butt. I don’t even know why that came out of my mouth because as soon as it did I knew it was a mistake.

I don’t know if it’s just my husband but he seems to take these questions seriously, like he needs to be honest because if he’s not then he’s doing a ‘disservice’ to me or something.

He told me yes, he could feel cellulite but then started backtracking and saying, “what? Why are you looking at me like that? I still think you’re beautiful!”

I mean... duh, I asked. That was my mistake. But seriously, are all men this clueless about women needing validation more than truth about their bodies? Granted, it’s a delicate dance but still.
