I went on a trip and a guy played a tape from an AA convention by a guy who made all these wild accusations about his life. He thought we would be amazed at his turn around but to a man, we all said "That was a bunch of BS. He never did that stuff".

Women are soaking it up like a kitten drinking milk. I'm reading this stuff and thinking "This guy is a BS artist". No wonder women loved Clinton so much. They can't smell BS.

Oh, women can smell BS, all right. When it's another woman slinging it, that is. And men can smell BS when it's coming from another guy, but not when it's a woman doing it.

I never bought the whole root canal without any anesthesia or pain medication. No one could endure that totally sober.

How many women out there are saying, "Damn, I fell for a drunk's bulls#!t story......AGAIN!"?

AA is the most successful recovery program out there. The Principles are a guide to living life as a good person. The program is about admitting powerlessness over alcohol, coming to accept a Higher Power getting honest about yourself in terms of what you did and who you are and then going to make amends and continuing to live a good life including helping others. There may be other ways to get sober but AA's principles (not necessarily the people who go) are the most effective way to stay that way....

You MUST not generalize, MEN cannot smell BS when it comes from a pretty woman either!! How many times have my sisters told me to dump a girlfriend that I thought they would love, and they were always right. It takes a man to sniff out a no good lying male, it takes a woman to find the bee a tch. Which is why Hillary will have a heckuva time running for President.

Oh, they can smell BS. But, they love hype, gossip, and BS if it is exciting, stimulating. They love 'stories'. They love men that tell 'stories'. The bigger the better.

They know, they just don't care. Because the truth is boring.

Just so you know there are women who can smell BS and I'm one of them. I had Klintoon pegged from the very first time I saw him and STILL can't stand to look at him.

They (women) can't smell BS.

Sure they can - it emits a very powerful odor to which they are drawn like catnip. Just evolution in action - women are queued to respond to wide range of emotions and group dynamics. No big deal, really; marketers target these characteristics in the same exact way as they use sexual imagery for males.

What I can't figure out is why the SG thinks this should be a topic of some breathless expose'. The media world is full of non-fiction books/movies that are fictional and fictional books/movies that are actually non-fiction (to avoid defamation, etc).
