The Top 10 Lies Happy Husbands Tell
MSN/Redbook ^ | 01/04/06 | Keith Blanchard

Posted on 01/04/2006 2:56:33 PM PST by misterrob

You want to know the truth? Guys lie -- occasionally, compulsively, desperately. We certainly don't have a monopoly on lying, and I've seen women pull off some whoppers, but we men, over centuries of tinkering, have developed hardy, scrutiny-resistant strains. In the interests of furthering intergender understanding, I talked real guys into identifying, and explaining, their biggest lies.

"Sure, honey, that dress looks fine."
"I can fix it."
"I was not looking at her boobs."
"Nothing's wrong."
"I tried to call you."
"I don't want to have sex unless you want to."
"I'm the best, baby."
"My old girlfriend? She was just okay."
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
"I'll never lie to you."

That's something I learned a long, long, LONG time ago.   If the missus ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

No, the biggest lie a man will ever have to tell his wife is "No honey, I'd never lie to you"

Thats important because with the way women are, you have to lie to them at least once a day, in order to keep things right in the home

A whopper a woman tells is I love sex!

Women can do without sex like camels can water. Unreal. At least my wife can.

My wife actually asked me

"The bustier pushed-up look doesn't turn you on, does it?"

Rejoinder, " . . . Of course not."

Unbelievable.

In my head, ". . . Is the Pope German?"

"Just remember:
If she's not happy you're not happy~"

And if she's not happy long enough, you'll be unhappy with half your stuff.

Bwaa-Haa-Haa! DH was just looking over my shoulder and cuddling up against me while agreeing with your list. Yes, that STILL happens after FOURTEEN years together; a DECADE of those years as a 'Boring Married Couple.'

So, sex is always the first priority with guys...and God Bless all of you Real Men! :)

When asked, "What are you thinking about?", my answer to her is always, "You in a red and black silk camisole, my dear."

Great answer to the world's most annoying question.

It's hell to go on a fishing trip and run into one of your wives girlfriends in Vegas.

(picking jaw up off the floor)

If my wife got one of those, she'd have to get a new one shortly thereafter 'cause that one would wind up ripped.
