The biggest liars
According to our friends across the pond, men are bigger liars” Men lie the most and feel less guilty about it — but women are the better liars, a British survey has found.” You have to love those studies! Human behavior and the reason we do the things we do always plays out on the dating scene.
It’s kind of par for the course to either catch someone in a lie or tell some zinger to someone to get out of something, or um into something. I suppose there are times when we feel justified in lying by omission, misleading people, or outright telling a very tall tale. It’s still very wrong. Yet, somehow lies lead to more lies.
It’s actually a real issue that a lot of us face and sometimes worry about. How do you know if the person you have met and started dating is not a raging liar?
The CNN article listed the the top male lies and top female lies. I am curious to know what are some of the craziest lies you’ve ever heard? I’ve had men get pretty creative with their “enhancement on the truth” stories. I could totally write a book! I think the biggest liar was the guy who claimed he had a twin brother and tried to date my college room mate and I simultaneously. Ah, the memories!
I’m no angel though, I once told a guy that I cooked some meals that were actually catered foods. He was one of those “she must cook” guys that I was trying to impress. I was busted on the third time, though!
What about you? Who was your biggest liar? What are you guilty of lying about? No judgment here!

Raqi, of course my wife is that way, too. Her typical dodge is to just withhold information. There’s an endless list of stuff she’ll refuse to talk about. I just leave her to it; if she thinks it’s that important that it has to be a secret, then I don’t want to know.

Oh come on Mdot how can one ever know who they are going to run into on any given day? You could have chosen the venue and still run into one of her exes. Or even one of yours. It happens. If you don’t want your woman to just happen to run into an ex I guess you need to only date women who have just recently moved to your city.
Evidently she didn’t think you all would run into anyone if she tried to prevent him from seeing her. Don’t be so hard on women and yourself.

Guys, is there ever an Ok reason for leaving a woman on a date?
I was out one time with this bitter broad and she had the nerve to try to start insulting me…She was about to order and the waiter came I was like actually you can just close me out. Thanks. Her looking like a bulldog who was dipped in lemon juice…lol

My secret is noticing that “half truth” behavior. Peep the woman’s individual technique and then mimic it when clearly it is to my benefit and it burns them the eff up because of course they can see what I’m doing because it is like looking in the mirror and they can’t pull out too many new investigative moves because they know I will use that one day as well. So really it has just become to a point that you got to keep all the way 1 hunded or be prepared to see your bull$hyt again.

You could be right or you could be wrong. Atlanta is a big/small city. I know guys that dealt with women that I have. We got some good women here but we got some runners here to. Ever heard the term runners? Look it up.

Morning Blog gang!
I saw that article on Essence.com about men lying. I figured it would be a topic on the blog soon!
Don’t really have much to add. I’ve lied and I’ve been lied to by men. I’m human, they are human, so it was bound to happen. I’ve heard the usual – “I’m not married”, “I don’t have any kids”, “I live alone”, etc.
M Dot – Man, what is this with you and these women you deal with??? You always come on with the same complaint – some woman either is dating other folks, hasn’t gotten over her last boyfriend, is always running into her ex when you all are out, you run into her with another dude and it bothers you even though you and the girl just met and are not committed to each other, she gets calls & texts from other dudes even though she’s not YOUR girlfriend – come on! Until you date her for awhile and you guys decide you are committed to only seeing each other, more than likely she did have a life before you rolled up! I mean, how many times are you going to tell this same sob story!

QUESTION: What is the best way to learn to trust again after you have dealt with a lying demon liar?
PROFESSOR…I am still working on that one myself. I will let you know when I figure it out. I have always been mistrusting..but after meeting a sociopathic lying sack of sh*t aka a demon quoting scriptures…I am not sure if I can trust anybody ever again!
CLEARLY CODED…you know that that stupid woman that is marrying him did you a favor because it could have been you!
ARED…you mean the type of guy who lies everytime he exhales..yep I know him. Still waiting for that bus to hit him and reid the world of one less scumbaggin’ scuzzbucket who is a waste os space, skin and breath.
“This is going to sound crazy, but I had to learn to trust me again. Trust my judgement, trust my intuition, trust my insight etc. so once I felt ok trusting me I was able to extend that trust in my next dates and/or relationships.”
PROFESSOR…no it doesn’t because that is me right now. I have guy friends..but nothing serious. I realize I got with the scum out of fear because of a situation I found myself in. This person knew how to use my vunerability at that moment to worm his way in to take advantage of my kindness. It’s not that I really liked him (because I was always turned off by him)..but in my state of mind his words sounded good and helpful. In the end it was more harm (financially) than good. Now I do not trust my own judgement because anyone who comes saying anything remotely close to his lies make me run for the hills. My situation really hasn’t changed but now I refuse to get involved with anyone until I feel my mind frame is back the way it was prior to my life change. So I am always performing or hanging with my friends…no real dating life.
