[BasketCase]

I really need to know, has anyone here ever been with a man that never once lied to them? I haven't. Every last bf I ever had lied all the time. One told me he had cancer, that his daughter died. My current bf has started lieing about stupid things. How his phone broke, he called in sick to work, hid at his mom's all day, and just pretended like he went to work.

I also want to know do you believe that sometimes people act in a certain way that encourages people to lie to them? My ex mother-in-law, who was a little bit of a whack job and blamed me for everythging her son ever did, used to tell me that I made it to where he lied because of how I acted when he told the truth. So if he is smoking crack behind my back I should take it well, so that he will keep being honest? Really?? I must, I must be the world's best at making men lie, cause they lie to me all the time. Including my son. And about stupid stuff, that's what really makes me mad!!


Sorry, about the rant, but I seriously have the red-butt right now.

Ummm are you sure he was at his mother house, seems fishy to me. I think you just have bad luck with men. As far as I know my BF has never lied to me about anything important. Perhaps he's told me my butt didn't look that big in those jeans a few times but that's about it.

The best you can do is teach your son better.

I agree, everyone lies. But I do think it's mens nature to exaggerate on most things. My dad even told me he thinks that's a guy thing. Guys, from the time they are little boys, are always in competition with one another so they are always trying to one-up someone or something to get ahead. Ahead in sports, with women, etc. I'm not talking about flat out lying, but you know what I mean.

I agree but I think women ar far more competitive. But in a more subtle way. What person on earth would buy a five hundred dollor hand bag if they were not trying to impress someone lol. And that really doesn't impress men so.... My man tells me I look better without makeup and with messy hair. LOL he may be lying (I think he exaggerates as stated above) but I still leave the house with makeup on everyday. Why? because I can't have some honey at work lookin better than me can I? I certainly don't do it to impress all the men I am not interested in. Only single women dress for men. And even then they dress for women too.

I agree Basket, also, I've noticed that the gym guys that lift weights all day totally do it for the other men. I've never met a guy who lifts weights and spends hours on his body say that he does it for women or for health reasons, it's always a comparison to other men.
