Depends on what you want.

If you're just looking for sex lie all you want.

If you want any sort of substantial relationship don't lie. It will come to light eventually. It's not worth the the risk.

Plus if you want someone to really love you they have to know you. If you lie to someone you'll never truly be loved by them.

Then you should never tell your partner the truth, Bonk. Keep him guessing.

There's no reason to lie to a woman unless you're afraid of her.

If you're afraid of her you probably shouldn't be with her.

Always lie about sex. Tell them you haven't had it in years even if you had it that morning. For some strange reason, many women get turned on by the thought of a man who hasn't had sex in a long time. Don't take it too far though, or they will think something is wrong with you. 4 years cool, 24 years.....runs away screaming.

yup...women don't want the truth....not only do they not want the truth they want to be flat out lied to...


for instance...a bish knows when she is fat....but she will ask you if you think she is and she wants and expects you to lie....and she accepts it as fact when you say "no honey you aren't"



the female mind has the ridiculous ability to distort reality

I don't get the lying thing, although I have learned that in any relationship (dating, friends, family, co-workers) there are topics that are best avoided.

I really believe women dont want the truth. They say they do in their profiles but I dont think they do

This last woman listed all these crazy insane guys she dated. Most likely those guys all lied like crazy at the first to her. I didnt and she didnt choose me lol.

Too much honesty is bad.

Most women have no idea what they want in a man, so they list things they think they should want. All you can do is be you and hope for the best. Or you can try to be someone else and hope for the best. Depends upon the woman and what you are looking for. Some women really do like to be treated like crap and don't feel comfortable unless someone is lying to them about everything. So you can go with that. Might work.

The tricky part is a small percentage of women actually do know what they want, and it's that small percentage that you really want to get to know. They tend to be smart and savvy, and will bust you in a lie in about 8 seconds even if it's something trivial.

Sometimes artful framing of your words are required. Just like Ecclesiastes as revised by me says: There is a time to tell the truth and a time to lie. You have to use all the attendant facts and circumstances and make a call on each situation. This is the core of situational ethics , which make a lot of sense.

Someone with my background probably needs to lie. The truth is too shocking

This woman getting her masters degree, a nurse, just emailed me asking about finishing my college degree after all these years. I told her the truth about missing five credits years ago by not going to one class enough and I havent heard back from her lol. That was the truth.

Listen to him more and don't always think everyone is out to get you. Even if it wasn't fishing for a compliment this was exactly the way to turn it around. Except for the part that most women like to be treated like crap. That's utter bullshit and only those that have not reached puberty. grin

This is an opportunity. As someone else mentioned, you can say so many different things here, and you don't have to lie.

The truth: I'm addicted to skyrim.
A different truth: I was being naughty wink (if you can't pull it off, don't)
Another truth: I was thinking about you. (you wouldn't have texted otherwise)
ect...

Theres no reason to lie to anyone unless you're afraid of yourself.

If you lie, exam your reasons. Was it a gut, immediate reaction (as to an accusation)? This is normal but maybe it indicates you respond too fast.

Are you lying because you're ashamed? Why did you act that way in the first place? If you would act that way again, stand up for yourself: "I acted on the information I had and maybe it turned out wrong, but we learned and moved on."

When it comes down to it, a lie is about the person speaking it. Rarely are we justified in lying to protect someone, because we rob that person of a legitimate choice. If you lie to save a relationship, it has already ended because you know either she can't be trusted with the truth, or you messed up so bad that you betrayed the partnership.

"Why are you friends with a stripper?" Should not be responded to as, "she's not a stripper!" Or "she's not my friend!"

Try, "because I am worthy of her friendship. Because I choose my friends on the content of their chaacter, not the color of-- erm, the profession they choose!"

At the end of the day, anyone not worth telling the truth to is not worth dishonoring yourself over.

I've dated more in the last couple of years than I ever have in my life. I'm not great looking, not in good shape, and I'm not in great health and it shows.....but have no problem getting dates. It's all about asking them out. If you ask out 5 women....1 of them is going to say yes. Humor works wonders, self deprecating (to a limit) is probably the best. Just have to keep trying man.

Don't be looking for love in every date, see what happens. Sometimes it's just really nice to have dinner with an intelligent woman and listen to them talk. Of course, sometimes it's really nice to drive around a stripper wanna be while you do belly shots off each other. Surprising thing is, both types like to be asked out if you aren't a total creep about it. Listening to them talk is the most important thing you can do to get a second date, or more, from them. Look at it this way, you probably don't want to talk about your life anyway....so ask them about theirs.

Back to the subject, women lie just about as often as men do which is too often. And yes some women aren't comfortable unless you are being a prick.

How about you fell on hard times and moved back in with your father until he passed. Yeah you might have issues but nothing so severe that felt you needed to get help for. After your father passed you went got out there with a new outlook on life and are just having fun while you reorder your life by focusing on your career and trying to find someone to love.

Sounds like the truth to me.

Edit: thanks reese

Lots of people move back to help take care of sick parents. I myself moved to New York partly to help my 96 year old grandpa, who stubbornly refused to let me live on his empty 3rd floor (he owns the brownstone and used to rent that floor out). Now I live an hour away by train and he complains he doesn't see me as much as he wants. I don't see any shame in living with family... especially since you're on your own now.

Yeahhhh... gonna have to call BS on this one. And only because I am the same way and I understand. The difference in sexiness to me between some passive little nice girl vs. an aggressive hot party girl who is most likely going to sleep with all my friends, is too great to underestimate.

And it's only more so with girls. The bad boy who won't settle may as well be your cocaine. Grab a dollar bill, roll it up, and inhale!

You don't have to tell the truth or lie.

When someone asks me a question I don't feel like answering..I ask them "why do you need to know that?" and that usually ends that topic one way or another. It's magic.

When you move things along enough you can tell the truth ..but never lie.

Bonk, I believe there's a profound difference between "because of" and "in spite of." Most people understand the first but respect the second. You are a worthy and successful person, in spite of your struggles. You grow every day in spite of any issues you think are holding you back.

Meditate on that.

Compared to what I was I think I'm a total success. However, I cant tell this to the women I try to go out with. They just see a loser

Bonk, you are NOT a loser.
Stop trying to date until you get that.

When I think loser..I think of a man or woman not giving a crap about their children.
Someone who is in full health but refuses to work, people that would rather steal than find employment. People that buy stuff with no intensions of ever paying for it. Adults that steal from their parents and grandparents.

Whats the shame in moving in with a family member? That does not make you a loser. In these times many many people live with family members. In some cultures it's normal and loved.
When I say you are not a loser, I truly believe this, please have a little faith in yourself.
~peace

They see what you present yourself as. Grow confident and they will see you as that. Present yourself as a self-doubter or unworthy and that is what they'll see. Note: confidence is not arrogance.

Be the change you want to be seen.

There are bigger losers out there than you Bonk. And the funny part is a lot of them think they are hot shots which makes it just so much worst

lies are just as good as the truth for most things and better for some.

I'd say I'm telling some kind of lie either direct or omission 60 percent of the time I'm talking to people.

I could make most of you here cry, so pretending like you are all "I WANT THE TRUTH BUT MY DUMB WIFE IS A BABY." Is kind of out of touch.

on a scale of 1 to "being able to login to VN" I admit that I scored much lower than I originally would have anticipated. However, that should just make the other times I made you cry all the more embarrassing.

That wasn't looking for a lie, that was fishing for a compliment.

You should have said, "I stay up for the important things".

Double entendre and compliment in one.


Listen to him more and don't always think everyone is out to get you. Even if it wasn't fishing for a compliment this was exactly the way to turn it around. Except for the part that most women like to be treated like crap. That's utter bullshit and only those that have not reached puberty. grin


Yeahhhh... gonna have to call BS on this one. And only because I am the same way and I understand. The difference in sexiness to me between some passive little nice girl vs. an aggressive hot party girl who is most likely going to sleep with all my friends, is too great to underestimate.

And it's only more so with girls. The bad boy who won't settle may as well be your cocaine. Grab a dollar bill, roll it up, and inhale!


Yes, again, if you are in your 20's. Most women past that age have gotten over the "bad boy" image and prefer someone who is not an asshole. (Though, granted, not all) Bonk seems to be dating beyond the 20's.

BS
I think I'm older than you. I'm single. I date anywhere from legal to forty. And they all either want a bad boy or father to support them as a crutch supports a cripple.

Women are irrational mostly, avoiding a backlash is only a tiny lie away..

Nor should anyone. It's all part of the process of building a relationship and trust.
