The “all men are liars” stereotype is big business. There are blogs, books, TV and radio shows all aimed at helping women find out when a man is lying.

Over at AskMen.com we publish articles like: “Reasons to tell her you’ve cheated”. We also put the boot on the other foot with: ”How to tell if your lady is lying”.

Because it seems we all lie – in fact a recent US study found it’s an essential part of who we are as social beings....

I do not think lying is okay under any circumstances.

I believe it is far better to always tell the truth and suffer the consequences and take personal responsibility for ones actions.

I have lied in the past true enough but now that I am much much older the reasons for lying are all but gone. As a senior, I like being able to speak my mind and whether that means occasionally using some improper language or words or making myself a nuisance in the advance for truth, then so be it.

Women never lie -
About their age
their shoe size
whether they did or did not have an organism
about the first time they had sex
if they think the neighbor is good looking
or if the guy at work is handsome
- only men lie.

All I have to say is BS. There is plenty going around and sex of an individual does not determine “Squat”.

The correct answer is "You're wearing jeans? I'm sorry dear I never noticed, I am blinded by your radiant beauty..."

There are definitely occasions where situational truth is called for.
