At times, it not only depends on the person, but the circumstances. In my opinion, honesty is NOT always the best policy - especially if it could be catastrophic to someone you love. I'm not saying that lying to someone all the time, and never coming clean is okay. I'm just saying that we don't always have to "out" our mistakes, if we have learned from them, and do not intend to repeat them. Anyone else feel that way?
You totally just proved my point. I am a woman, and I believe that withholding information is lying, but sometimes also necessary.
I am glad I can trust my wife! Lying sucks. It hurts the person lying too, not just who they lie to. (sentence doesn't even read right.)
I'm not sure who tells more lies. I don't think we can determine who tells the worst lies, men or women, because we BOTH can. I have to agree with Tara to an extent. Sometimes, it's better not to tell the truth about something if it can potentially cause more harm than good, and if you've learned from your mistakes and intend to never go there again.
The truth is so much easier in my opinion. Lies take work and then you have to lie again to keep it going - ends up being a tangled web. I had a bad habit of lying when I was in elementary and junior high schools, after that I figured out it was easier to be truthful. It is funny because sometimes people don't believe the truth. I was too truthful the ladies and was always taken as me hitting on them, even if I wasn't at all. I don't think not telling something is a lie, if you aren't making a lie out of it. It is totally appropriate to keep information from people at times, I just tell them that. Need to know basis and you don't need to know.
Consider this scenario: Many men automatically believe women lie more, because they have had more intimate/close relationships with women. Many women automatically believe men lie more, because they have had more intimate/close relationships with men. These relationships are based on trust. How many relationships do we go through before we find "the one"? How many of these relationships end because of a lie, or a series of lies? I would venture to say most relationships end due to some form of deception. That's why this question can only be based on each person's own personal experience. I would definitely say that I have been lied to more by men, than women; but I wouldn't say that men lie more than women. They have just lied more to me.
If I 'had' to pick I'd say men lie more, simply because I in most cases will stick up for woman above those evil dogs called men.. IDK, guess I'm not 'many' is my point
I have to agree once again with Tara. I have been lied to by men much more than I have been lied to by women. Does that mean men lie more? Not necessarily, it just means that from my own personal experience, men have decieved me more often than women have. However, I still don't think we can determine who the most deceptive sex is, because it's impossible to decide. Men and women both lie, and both sexes have the capability to tell lies that are painful.
haha good topic. id have to say woman are better at lying so u dont really know that they are lying but many men are just terrible at lying
I hate fucking LIARS!!! All LIARS can go to hell!!! If I am lied to I feel betrayed!!! I HATE IT and I HATE them! I dont think men or women lie more than one another I think some people are liars and I think others have morals and ethics and dont believe in lying such as myself
Ain't that the truth But also: some people are so in the habit of lying, they no longer know how to be real.
