True Lies: The ugly low down dirty truth... oh, and lies too.

I've come to a conclusion that 95% of people enjoy being lied to. Whether they like to admit it or not I know whole heartedly the REAL truth is too ugly, too harsh and too deep for some to handle. Ladies more so than men, it's f*cked up to say but it's real. The real truth doesn't relate with "tact" or "softening the blows by smoothing things over" with a couple of choice words. If someone asks for the truth in all honesty they shouldn't get mad at whatever you tell them because it defeats the purpose of giving them what they asked for. Don't ask questions expecting the truth if you can't handle the answer. That's why people lie to protect people (in most cases, others do it for fun or because they are so lame they have to create a persona... but that's another blog) It doesn't make it right but that's the way it is.

Think about it, ladies... how many of you have asked a guy the very cliche'd "Do I look fat in this dress / outfit?" question? Now when you ask that in most cases you are looking for "No, baby you look fine" you know, you look for the guy yo cater to your ego or in other words "telling you what you want to hear". Say your man did think you look fat or bad in it and told you how he really felt. Say he said "Yes, you look fat as hell in that" how would you feel or what would you say? Would you be upset? Would you call him an ass and have an attitude all day? OK lets look at another instance. Say a guy approached you, tossed all that charm, and "game" out the window and told you what he really wanted. Say he walked up to you and said "Lookie here lil mama, I'm just trying to get in your draws, forget all that caking in between, I don't even want to know your name for real, I'm just tryna do what it do" how many of you would be insulted, shocked or even angry that this stranger had the audacity to come at you like that? Now with both instances being said how many of you would appreciate the undeniable honesty you've just recieved. How many of you would take the guy up on his offer? I'm sure it's a minority. But I thought you said you wanted the truth right?

Dudes enjoy being lied to as well. Say an attractive lady you just appoached said "The only way you can have my number is if you have a nice car, crib and enough change to break me off a piece whenever I ask?" How would you react to direct and to the point statement like that? Or how about if in the middle of sex you asked the lady you were with "Who's the best?" and she said "Johnny from 45th and Broadway but you are a close second!" or "My ex!" how many of you dudes would get your stuff and leave? Who would continue because of the honorable gesture or pure honesty?

If you agree or disagree give a brother some feedback.
