Question about Telling The Truth
I understand it, but has anyone ever asked Peterson what he says when his wife asks him how she looks? My girlfriend gets upset if I say anything other than "you look beautiful" when she's getting ready in the morning or something, and while I try to be honest in these situations it really does not seem to solve anything

There is a difference between lying and phrasing.
Let me explain, to make sure that I am actually saying what I think I am saying...
I am guessing that you find your girlfriend to be beautiful, and it is never wrong to tell her so.
Her outfit, however...that may not feature her best attributes.
So, if you confirm that she looks beautiful (true), but say that the outfit does not do her beauty justice/hides her best features (or terms to that effect - also true), you might get a better outcome.
Ok that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
I agree, if she's your girlfriend, you absolutely find her beautiful or she wouldnt be your girlfriend. Just tell her that she is your queen, she is beautiful and will always be regardless of what she wears.
