Decoding Women

She says: “Your love handles are so cute.”
What she means: Get rid of them, please.

Why she does this: Most women know what it’s like to struggle with body issues, so she would never insult you by telling you that you need to head to the gym. This way, she’s letting you know that you do indeed have love handles, but in a kind and gentle way. (Note: There may be a small percentage of women who are sincere when they compliment your love handles. How do you tell the difference? It’s all in her tone of voice.)

What you should do: This one’s up to you. I wouldn’t go to the gym simply to please someone else (love handles generally are not deal breakers anyway). But feel free to go if it’ll please you.
