Default When touching up photos of your wife/gf along side other women...

Make your wife/gf look the best!

Haha, this is like 80% joke, 20% serious. If there is one thing that I have learned since being married is that women compare themselves to other women all the time. I took some pictures recently of my wife and a friend of hers she had not seen in years. I always try to do quick touch ups of people, cloning out blemishes or getting rid of red-eye, that sort of thing.

I found that if I intentionally make sure my wife looks the best out of the group (without telling her im doing this) she always loves the photos and praises my work!

Ha! That reminds me of the 'advice' my fil told me husband when we married. He said, remember, if she ever asks if so and so looks better, the answer is no. Don't explain, don't carry on the convo any further, just say no, give her a kiss and walk away.

LOL

Tis true, go to a restaurant together and who looks at the other women more..

See we as a sub-species do learn over time...
