Five Things Guys Like to Lie About

http://www.american-architecture.info/USA/USA-Washington/Washington_Monument_Dusk_Jan_2006.jpg
Ladies of Glamour: the newest question in my series of "five things" is this. What's your man lying to you about?

1) How many women we’ve slept with:
Some lie because they’re embarrassed they’ve slept with too many and some lie because they’re embarrassed that they’ve slept with too few.

2) How munch money we make:
The men who make too much money usually keep it a secret because they don’t want to seem like some dirtbag who flashes his bank statements to get women (if they’re not worried about that, then you should be worried about what kind of guy he is). But lots of others fudge the figure in their favor. Mostly we don’t lie outright. We just kind of lead you to believe we’re a little better off than we are.

3) How we feel about going to visit your parents:
They may love your man. You mom might really make the world’s greatest chicken pot pie. But when he says he can’t wait to go, when he says there’s nothing he’d rather be doing, just appreciate it. Because, seriously, think about it: there are 7694 things he’d rather be doing.

4) That we're not worried about how big it is:
We may act like we’re not that shallow. But can you please tell us how impressive we are, even if we may not be? Just compare it to the Washington monument (see the photo) if you’re at a loss for words.

5) That we like those new thigh-high boots:
Or whatever weird thing you just bought and looks totally normal to you (actually not normal: trendy, dramatic, gutsy). But we actually think that in this case, you’ve lost your mind. Still, we understand that you did not buy these boots to impress us. So we support you.

    If you are embarrassed that you slept with TOO many plp, why are you living that lifestyle? If you do something, don't regret it or get embarrassed, simple as that, otherwise in your conscious you know it's wrong, even if it feels good.

    This is what I know bout my man

    How many women we’ve slept with: I'm his first girl he's ever slept with

    How munch money we make: He's told me the truth but I dont want to post it

    How we feel about going to visit your parents: Sometimes he tells me he looks forward to seeing my family and others he makes it plain he'd rather be at home. So I always know how he feels before we go cuz he tells me.

    That we're not worried about how big it is: Guys should quit worrying about wondering how big they are

    Really, articles like this are so unhelpful and just put more distance between people. Married Jake assumes that men always lie about these issues and women should just live with it.

    In some cases that's fine. You don't have to love going to see her folks as long as you're pleasent about it. Its fine not to care about her new boots as long as you aren't rude about it.

    The money one is a little iffy. There's no reason to know what a guy earns unless you're living together or engaged. As long as the guy fesses up by then, its fine.

    But lying about sex partners isn't cool. Particularly if the number is high. That could be an actual health issue.

    I've always loved the first question. I usually just say that I'm not sure but I can have a printout for them in the morning. That pretty much ends it.
