Don´t you notice something?

My girlfriend pays much attention to her appearance. Like all women, she wants to be loved, acknowledged, and praised, and also wants to hear it. Man´s battle for goodwill is often hard, and contains secrets that have still not been discovered in spite of long-standing experience.

“Honey, I´m going to go get groceries now.”
“Ok, darling. Don´t forget to buy milk.”

“Can I go like this?”
“What?”

“I wanted to know if I can go like this. With this white top.”
“Yes, honey, you can. It looks good on you.”

“Well, I never wear white, actually.”
“Oh… Yes, the white one looks good on you too.”

“I had to wear the white one.”
“Why? Ok, let me guess: You don´t have anything else to wear.”

“Yes, I do. I have black and brown clothes. You do like them, don´t you?”
“Yes, honey. Brown is your colour.”

“So you don´t like white so much?”
“Yes, I do, sure. So why did you have to wear THIS top today?”

“Because I´m wearing white underwear today.”
“Ah, why didn´t I think of that myself…”

“You can´t wear black tops then.”
“Ok, fine with me…”

“You don´t notice anything else about me?”

[I freeze when confronted with this terrifying women question, adrenaline rushes into my blood, and my eyes search my girlfriend in an all-telling manner...]

“So, you don´t notice anything?”
“Ah, except the white top… No?”

“Hm…” You don´t notice anything!”

[I know it´s getting critical now! What in devil´s name is different??
If I don´t say something soon, she will erase me like in the  "battleships" game with only a few shots...]

“Nothing??”
“Ah, honey, actually you look just as beautiful as every day…”

“Charmer! That´s not going to work! Your last chance!”

[My life passes before my inner eye in seconds. Until now, everything was good with her, and now this!  The question of all questions, and I messed up. I am finished. The death blow is coming. And it is even justified. I did not notice anything new or different on her!
I am a superficial and blind fool who does not even deserve this woman...]

“Ok, honey, I give up, WHAT is different??”

“Nothing. I just wanted to see whether you still look at me like you used to!”

Women…

    I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that.
