"A much better way for a woman who would be tempted to ask 'Do I look fat?' to seek validation and a positive boost is to ask a NON-YES/NO question: 'How do I look?' Because the respondent can then honestly, truthfully and *supportively* answer 'You look great!'"

1000 times thank you. It's way, way more attractive and pleasant when a person is obviously looking for a positive response rather than fishing for one by asking you to deny a negative assumption. "You look great!" is much more fun to tell someone than "No, you don't look fat."
