And why couldn't you take the time to explain that some women find being a hundred pounds overweight unattractive, and that living in your parents house is considered by some to be a sign of emotional immaturity? There's nothing dishonest about it, but it sure as hell comes off a lot nicer, and a lot more constructive.
