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."

"Whew! Get a whiff of that one!"
Never met a woman who said that, either.
lmao
Obviously you are male, not that there's anything wrong with that! :)
I'll never forget a conversation with my ex:
I told him about something (can't remember what, it's been a few years) that we'd agreed in the past couple weeks.
He: No, you never told me about this.
me: yes.. I did
he: Was I in the other room and you hollared at me? (He always accused me of hollaring at him from a different room)
me: No, I looked you straight in the face and said it, you looked straight back at me, nodded your head and said sure, that's fine.
he: Well I don't remember that!
I do believe he did not remember the conversation. God bless men but you do have selective memory.
Actually, the thing is, in light of Katrina, I want off the river, because even with our elevated house, the water came very close to coming on the front porch. If the storm come in 20 miles east of where it did come in, the first floor would have been flooded. As it stands, we lost a boat (why I wanted to be here in the first place, so I could get on the river without having to pay for space at the marina)
The main disagreement is not moving off the river, it's when to move (do we wait out another hurricane season in hope we can get more of an appreciation in property value) and where to. I want to live in one of the historic districts, she wants to move back to the hill (much of which was built to mimick the historic districts, but with construction dates in the 40s and 50s).
One area that we both have interest in is Ashland Place, and the general vicinity around it, though personally, I would like to live downtown somewhere, especially considering if we did that, I could just go home for lunchtime. (She actually could too, don't work too far from each other). Of course, the issue with downtown (and here's one she's right on) is that it floods easy, be it street flooding or storm surge flooding. But then again, a decision like this will take a long time too, though I'm just hoping that we do move before the Big One hits.

You sound like such a man! I love it!
Dress looks ok, but now what do I wear? (think about it....)
Yup! Whatcha' think them things cost????
Girlfriend?!?!?!?!?! Right, baby, yer rich, I swear....
Is there a comparable neighborhood without a flooding problem? It sounds like you're looking for the same type of neighborhood, obviously agreed on that. I'd either look for another neighborhood without flooding problems or a home in that area and get real good flood insurance! I think I'd also keep my keepsakes upstairs. :)
Personally I love real old houses for character but am not willing to do the upkeep. I also am looking for a house but after looking at several older homes, I am now searching for a newer house. The maintenance on the old ones is tremendous, especially as one ages.
Good one... But, I think the all time biggest lie is... "I promise not to _ _ _ in your _ _ _ _ _."
Just read your home page. Very interesting life you have there!
I've used EVERY SINGLE ONE of these!
My ex's sister was very cute, too. She said to me after our first Christmas party: "I saw you checkin' her out and you sure spent a lot of time talking with her" ... and I told her: "yep, she's almost as cute as you ... good looks must run in your family".
In the looks department I would have taken either one ... but I told the truth!
And I was never on the hook.
Whoopers must be really significant, as opposed to whoppers. "Whoopers" is probably "whoppers" times 2.
I am also doing some serious research into the nutritional value BK Whoppers, because thet are my favorite complete meal for under $3.00. Don't forget,"It takes two hands to handle a Whopper." With "Whoopers", you may need an extra hand.
Hmmmm. I'm up for a chalenge. Let me try my hand at translating...
"Sure, honey, that dress looks fine."
- on CZJ...
"I can fix it."
= When you have a hammer, everything is a nail.
"I was not looking at her boobs."
= I was staring at her crotch.
"Nothing's wrong."
- that sex wouldn't fix.
"I tried to call you."
- once, but I hung up before it rang.
"I don't want to have sex unless you want to."
- or I can find some else who does.
"I'm the best, baby."
= I'm the best, baby.
"My old girlfriend? She was just okay."
- 'cept she wanted to talk after sex.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
- more than a hundred times.
"I'll never lie to you."
- that you'll find out about.
Not this motor!

I had a buddy who was admittedly 'shortchanged'...his favorite comeback was "It's not the size of the wand, it's the magic in it..."
Most women abhor sex>>
That's not true. At all.
I hope.
