“Does this dress make me look fat?” is not really a question. It’s a request for a compliment.
In a sense, yes. But less-cliche questions sometimes get used the same way, and you have to be on guard with that.
(You can argue that giving the expected responses to such questions isn’t technically lying, but that seems like semantic hair-splitting to me.)
