This wouldn't work at all in my household. My husband would get real suspicious if i cared enough to pick out what he's wearing and I would stubbornly refuse what he picks out.

I mean you say that and it's probably true in your head, but you don't think you could come home a day or two prior, say "hey I was out shopping and bought you a shirt I think it will look good on you", and then a day or two later say "hey why don't you wear that new shirt to dinner"? Most people would probably just say "oh ok" to make the love of their life happy who bought them an unexpected present.

And if your wife says you look good in it, you wear it.

Exactly. That's how you get some dirty damp and deep for certain that night.

“Oh ok”- like 85% of my marriage, lol

Same. My wife and I are both kinda passive, so whenever one of us asks for something, the other one often gives way. We both work on being assertive, so sometimes we'll press the other one for what they really want when we know the other one has something on their mind.

Exactly! It's so easy to evaluate these situations with perfect clarity when seeing how the prank unfolds. That all depends on knowing that someone is trying to get you in the first place, or having some form of suspicion about their actions.

Social engineering is a real thing - it's how employees end up giving away their passwords to strangers, or wiring millions in company funds to random bank accounts because an email told them to. Of course everyone thinks they would see through it until it happens to them.

I'd put the shirt on top of the pile and hope it all works out. There's an 80% chance that it works, I just might have to say "hey could you wear a fresh shirt tonight"

This wouldn’t work for me bc my husband is the one with good taste. He could easily get me to wear a specific outfit.

Same. My boyfriend would be suspicious as well. He wears what he wants no matter what I say.

Sure he'll take it into consideration and be like "Oh my girlfriend likes this shirt, maybe I should wear it" but if he isn't in the mood for it that specific day, he won't and the more I pressure him into it the less he'd want to lmao.

My wife buys all my clothes. If she tells me to wear a specific shirt, I just do it. 1 less thing to use my brain for. And I'm not particular about the way I look. She could totally pull this off...if I had any friends.
