Not really...it would be if I knew you. And if I knew your mother had passed. But I dont...so you should know that I was joking. And that I meant no direspect.

I realize that, but it was still inappropriate.

exactly. not everyone is aware of everyone's family situation. that was obviously a joke

Agreed!

its like someone saying "i hope your dog dies."
one of my dogs did die a month or so ago, but its not like i would lose sleep over someone saying it, and i liked that dog A LOT more than i do most people

I think everyone is getting a litte bit here. I got that it was a joke. A poor one, mind you, but a joke. The point of the thread was to get insight on the male brain and why men lie.

some men lie, its just how they are. on the other side of the coin, some women lie. hell, i know more women that lie than i do dudes. its a part of life that ya gotta live with

If your experience in relationships, plural, is that people end up lying to you it sounds like it would be a good idea to take a serious look at what is really important to you, the expectations you project, how you communicate (talk and listen) with people, and what you will tolerate because while some people are just dyed in the wool liars people tend to treat you the way you allow them to.

IMHO most liars are fairly easy to spot if you just take the time to pay attention and not get caught up in the fairy tale. Don't do things that get you too far into think. If sex, comingleing funds, living together is going to make you vunerable to unclear thingking don't do it. It is fine to be happy and let the person you care be human but if you don't like them being themself, trust them without reservation because they have demonstrated in their history and their day to day you are sabatogeing your own happiness as much as they are.

i told u

men lie because we have to keep you happy

wait, i didnt tell you that...but i thought you knew...

like seriously, what man would say..."hi woman i just got out of a relationship, i still love her...she doesnt want me...and i am depressed"

nooooooooooo we arent gonna say that!

To be honest, I have heard that before. Try again!

....I don't know. I don't have these problems.

But I don't date angry, bitter, scorned women who generalize all men. Its not attractive to me.

I have my moments.

woman lie just as damm much as men do.

so dont go throwing this as men cause what u been through.

this is why I just assume stay single,so I dont gotta deal with any of you.



I have never cheated will never cheat,have no need to cheat.

some men lie

some men dont

some women lie

some women dont

it never works to project your own personal experience upon the whole male or female race

only some men that you have encountered lie. maybe you are attracted to the wrong type of men. that would be something to try and fix

Men lie ,Women lie good egg/bad egg, realmuthatrucka/fake muthatrucka, for show/or for you, Lucky brother of 5 younger sisters

Dunno, why do women do it?

Can't help you out. Have three younger brothers, work at a lumber yard dealing mainly with men. No problems here. Lying isn't gender specific, in my opinion. Caution should be taken if this is a recurring thing. Other than that, when I've been lied to I ask how many minutes it was out of my life. I choose not to dwell on it and chalk it up as a learning experience.
