Why do men lie?
I know the simple reasons: sex and food. Sticking their thing in something then filling their face.. Basic man stuff.

But why do they act like they are interested then leave ya hanging? Screw you assholes!
I'm thinking of being a lesbian! <BTW, can one do that, just become a lesbian?>

For real... Men are just pissing me the fuck off! My Rant!

:grr:

If I offended anyone...

6. I am so sorry but this joke must be said
Pure as the driven snow? Sounds like you need a snow plow.

Ok, didn't say it was funny, just it had to be said.

8. i think she just meant
that women lie for much more complicated reasons.

like, say, vanity, laziness, control, or money.

all of which men are capable of lying for, too....

2. Recent studies have shown
That women (hetro and homo) are not as fixed in their arousal patterns as males. That is to say that a hetro female may be aroused by another female and a homo female may be aroused by a male. Men tend to be more stuck in their ways. Homo and Hetro tending to be more exclusive to their particular preference.

4. If you become a lesbian,
can we watch?

Sex and food and rock 'n' roll, baby - you got it. Though some of us do manage to overcome our baser instincts long enough to be real with love and all of that good stuff. Or so I've heard.

Not that I've ever been left hanging by a woman who acted interested and then channeled the Arctic Express. No, never seen a woman run hot and cold before....... :P

5. Well, you might be disappointed with women, too
University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert S. Feldman published in the most recent Journal of Basic and Applied Social Psychology results of a study that concluded men and women lie equally.

Anyway, sorry you're having a tough time.

7. Why do I lie? Or take the LIE? Or why do I lay?
1. Cause I am good at it?

2. It is the main highway down the middle of Long Island.

3. When I am tired.

Capiche?

...we're all bad catches. Like a dog, if we can't eat or fuck it, we piss on it.


... and I'm just being funny. Crude but funny.

22. No, if women dated men who are uglier than they are
Those men would be very nice. But that will never (and should never) happen.

21. Excuse me, but women lie too
I've been the victim of more lies by women than I can readily recall. Small wonder that in recent times, whenever a woman shows an interest in me, I practically run away screaming.

As for "sticking my thing in something," I'll stay with my right hand for the time being. As for food, I can do my own damned cooking, thank you very much.

Finally, if you want to "be" a lesbian, go right ahead. Maybe you, too, will hook up with some selfish, manipulative woman who'll rake your heart over the coals and not think twice about it.

And if I've offended anyone.... Well, you know! ;-)

25. We should start a club
When things really went to pieces not long ago, I realized that - as practiced as I thought I was in picking up fib signals - I was nowhere near equal to the task that faced me. I still can't beleive some of the lies that she told me, things that I now know were lies but that at the time seemed perfectly innocuous. And I, of course, second-guessed my own instincts as a result, dragging the whole thing out longer and longer before the big 'duh' sign appeared above my head. And the weird thing is that there were some elements within this fabric of prevarication that I actually did pick as lies, though not lies that led to the central issue - she must have planted them as red herrings. That is skilled lying.

Very disturbing, though, to me, because I began to question the truth of every moment of every day of every year with her. And I'll never know the truth of it. Even when she broke down and allegedly bared it all I couldn't trust her....very disturbing.

I won't generalize and say that women lie more than men or vice-versa, but it would make a certain sense to me if it's ever determined (like we could ever do that) that women lie more effectively and more convincingly than men. Men, after all, have forever had available the socially-acceptable option of resorting to brute force and aggression when words no longer work. Women haven't traditionally had much in the way of that route and many I know often pride themselves on being more diplomatic than their rather crude male counterparts. And what's a key ingredient in diplomacy, when you strip it right down? Lying.

23. I lie....
To fight cancer, prostate cancer is a silent killer, but with the help of a good woman 15 times a week I do my best to stop prostate cancer in its tracks. It is called collateral damage, I don’t intend to hurt anyone, but if some feelings get bruised during my fight against cancer, then I say price well worth it.:silly:

Edited on Fri Jul-18-03 11:19 AM by sam sarrha
try older men, their testosterone levels are lower..they are not so driven and they are really gratefull, why are men driven to lie to get sex? why are women driven to have sex with liers? its all biology, sex is initiated by visual and chemical signals, there are 24 steps in the human mating ritual, up to 3 in a row can be skipped, but not 4, then Amine's are released and its a 'party'........< so the disgusting liers and womanizers that men say "whats he got that i dont?".., and women ask "why did i do that!!???" are just men who know 6 little tricks. and women who arent informed, warned but not informed> .........but the amines are related to amphetamines and tollerance is aquired after a while ] and you dont get that ZING anymore, so you say, "i love you, but i'm not in love with you" ..this is an evolutional joke thats purpose to produce genetic diversity in a womans offspring to help insure survival. relationships based on Oxytocen, the cuddle drug..last longer, 'O'sn' is produced by quiet cuddling with skin contact, doesnt get tollerance and produces a warm feeling of security and well being. couples need to perform a few of the mating rituals together every time they meet. look in the eyes, hug to renew the mating bond or it disolves. couples that regularly play music together , regular repititous exersize together, etc or best of all Meditate togehter have a 5x chance of staying together. its all in the Hore mones... sorry .........this is not really related but a good joke, why is sex with a man like a snow storm,,... because you never know how many inches you will get, or how long it will last.

43. an alternative....
Edited on Fri Jul-18-03 11:09 AM by sam sarrha
a while back, desperate for work due to the "ECONOMY STUPID" i took the only job i could find, at a porno shop..actually quite a nice place, very 'up scale'well lit, very clean..i was very supprised... anyway, there were A LOT of women, singles and couples frequently, comming in to buy solo dildos and couples *strap on's*, a secure harness to hold a exceptionally relistic and vibrating artificial penis, the 'Doc Johnson" .. www.DocJohnson.com and 'UltraReaistic" brands with *Cyberflesh, actually have waranties, and are very well made, they are also expensive..but from what i have heard "MORE THAN WORTH IT". the *cyberflesh takes some specific care, only water based lube, NO silicone, NO NO NO OIL, then cornstarch after gental wash with mild liqiid detergent. cornstarch is essential. always remove the batteries!!!!. tho batteries are not necessary for operation. the other clerk asked... "why are a couple of good looking girls like you two buying this for?..the responce was like a striking rattlesnake.. "BECAUSE WE'RE SICK OF MENS SHIT!!!!" there is a selection of "attachments", 6 inches to 8 inches with different diameters. a cheaper arangement can be had by buying the lesser quality, attachments and getting a *cyberflesh add on "sheath" .. the *cyberflesh is really special, better than the real thing, but dont leave it on fabric or use oils. and for all the GUYS out there for when the gals are having a good time together .. you could checkout the * www.Fleshlight.com for a cheap date, and just LIE you ass off and no one will complain...:P

31. Then, Why do Women Lie?
I had women lie to me over money, sex, food, other guys they were screwing, a girl that one was involved with (yes, I had a Lou Diamond Phillip experience), drugs (one was a four digit a month coke fiend), and marital status.

My ex-wife couldn't open her mouth without a lie coming out. It was so bad, that toward the end of my marriage, I couldn't tell what was a lie and what was the truth.

Lying is not a male-only trait, women are just as capable and the lies are just as malicious.

Share in this badge of honor, ladies.

32. We should just take a page from the Bush administration...
...that way we wouldn't really be *lying*.

Example: According to *British intelligence*, she's just an old friend. There's nothing going on. Really.

Or: According to British intelligence I WASN'T staring at her chest. I was trying to read what her t-shirt said.

Or: British intelligence indicates that I really love you. I just need some space right now.

Or: British intelligence has learned that I was really home, asleep, at midnight last night. I must not have heard the phone ring...

41. I've been lied to by women far more often than I've ever lied to them.
Generally, I've been lied to about other people they were screwing. And I've never lied to anyone about that, or been in a situation where it was necessary.

Sorry you've been burned. Not all men, not all women.

44. One story has it ~
That you were a lesser creature; that we loved you so that we lied into the Face of God just to be with you, were then fallen as such, and that we, men & women, now share this mortal coil in ways that animals may or may not understand. Though having lived with my 'X' (-_-) for some 25 years I can assure you that man has no 'corner' onto the market of lies.

:hi:

ps, the best defense is a good offense ~
