This kinda reminds of when I try on cycling shorts with my boyfriend. We both come out of the changing rooms at the same time and he always looks fantastic in anything he tries on. I say to him, something like, "You look great! They really look like they fit you well!" And all I get from him is something like, "Oh ... yeah. Yeah, those work! They're.. good." It's the thigh bulge that gets him! I know it! I think I prefer going on my own.
