Trolling, I mean. I suppose I could have posted this in any part of the forum, because they all have them, but after reading yet another troll thread, I confess just don't get it.

Do men check out their girlfriends mums?
My DH told me that when we were first going out he made sure my mum was still a nice looker to check what I'd look like when I got older!
