Liar, Liar pants on fire.
From a very young age we are taught that lying is wrong, yet we all still do it (Sorry I'm late traffic was awful, That's never happened to me before etc). We men however seem to lie more to our partners than at any other time, I'm not talking about serious lies like infidelity and that sort of stuff, I'm talking about the little things that promote a harmonious life.

I often wonder if you women realize some of the lengths that we go to in order to avoid an argument. Well I thought I would spill a few beans in order to promote a little understanding between sexes. Now obviously these are all from a blokes point of view so please don't shout at me, Having said that I will be happy to post views from you ladies as well.

So here we go:
Question: Does this dress make me look fat?
Answer: No of course not.
Truthful: Well yes it makes your bum and your tummy look big why don't you buy the red one that made you look stunning..
What she hears: You look like the hindenburg.
Outcome: Your sleeping on the sofa.

Question: Do you think she's attractive?
Answer: No I don't find her attractive or Not as attractive as you.
Truthful: Yes I think she is very attractive.
What she hears: You look like the hindenburg and twice as ugly.
Outcome: Further 3 hours of questions like, What do you find attractive, Do you think she has a better body than mine and would you sleep with her if you were single (The answers of which are not a lot, no and no. The last one is very important guys don’t ever say yes because if you do your on your own). Followed by an hour of silence and the high possibility of an argument that you will see coming a mile off. You may also end up sleeping on the sofa.

Question: Do you like my hair? (Usually after a trip to the salon which you have failed to notice, Note to the ladies: Unfortunately most men really don't notice things that happen everyday to millions of people. New shoes, new hairdos, another manicure etc. This isn't because we don't care, it is just that it happens all the time to men and we don't feel we need to commend the fact that someone has been to the hairdresser. Had it been combined with a complete makeover, new dress and evening out we would notice and comment accordingly. Note to the men: If you didn't comment, well you deserve to be single.)
Answer: Yes it looks lovely.
Truthful: It's alright, No why didn't you leave it alone, I cant see any different from this morning or yes.
What she hears: You look like the hindenburg, twice as ugly with a toupe.
Outcome: Usually an argument about how little interest you take in her, And possibly ending in an uncomfortable night on the sofa.

Ok this is only three examples but as you can see Sometime it seems that lying is not a bad thing in fact quite the opposite it can lead to a happier life.
