"I like how you look in the blue dress."

Spoken as a TRUE married man......a REAL graduate from tact school if ever
there was one.

I tend to say, "You look thinner in any dress." which is
totally wrong!

Nah!!! Bad move Jim. Girls can see right through that one. I think girls are
born with something called the "he's as full of s** t as a Christmas turkey
gene" or something close to this that seems to get us guys in a pack of
trouble if we try that one :-)

"Honey, do I look fat?"
"Do I look stupid?"

That is not necessarily surprising. Hobby pilots most probably enjoy
or even adore aviation, and this affection for flying may well
motivate them to improve their own piloting skills. Professional
pilots, on the other hand, earn a living by flying, and they may or
may not be actually interested in aviation. Those who just want the
job may not be motivated to do anything more than the absolute minimum
required to earn a paycheck, and thus may be mediocre pilots.

There are many variables, of course. And this phenomenon is not
unique to aviation. Some people engage in certain activities just for
the sake of earning money; others engage in them both out of a love of
the activity and the need or desire to earn money; and still others
engage in them out of an affection for the activity alone, without
monetary compensation.

Ah... the famous and somewhat dubious lawyer (i.e. politician approach);
never answer a question directly with an answer but rather counter with a
counter question gambit.
This works extremely well on political TV commentary shows but when
attempted on wives will most certainly be countered with the famous and
somewhat dubious female counter to the double question counter
answer........"yes you do" followed immediately with "yes you do" :-)
Women are natural born chess players!!! :-))

Why do you think a recreational pilot is more serious about flying
than a hobby pilot? Usually, you call a recreational activity a hobby
when you start to pursue it more seriously.

So, you just choose to call yourself a hobby pilot for no reason?

You can read, can you? I call myself a hobby pilot because piloting is a
hobby of mine. Unlike e.g. lying on the sofa, which I also ocasionally
practise for recreational reasons, but which I wouldn't call a hobby.
