Deception

Hi everyone,

I'm at work and I have 14 minutes left so I'm going to attempt to make this entire post with such little amount of time so excuse the grammatical and spelling errors that I'm sure would be filled in this post. This may seem like a rant and go all over the place too.... maybe it is. Haha.

So, I've been thinking a lot about how far people would go to lie. It is something that most people do no matter what. It's like second nature to us. If something we don't want people to know, we lie. Something we need to get, we lie. Is there ever a time where we could just tell the truth because we think of the other person that it might hurt?

Let's say you are looking for a relationship but a man is looking for.... let's say other things. What exactly would you prefer? Would you rather the deception, or the cold truth? Most woman would say, "I would rather the truth than being lied to" when they know they would be offended and that it is not the case. It all depends on the situation. Now let's go back to the above example. Most men in their 20s are not looking for a relationship until their late 20s early 30s while most woman are constantly looking for one. This causes the deception that goes on when men persue women. In order to get exactly what they want, they pin-point what the woman desires. All it takes is a woman to hear the right words and a man will get almost anything they are looking for. Now of course it would be harder for men if they told the truth and said, "Hey. You look hot. Is it ok if we hooked up?" I guarantee that most women would kick them where it hurts or walk off offended. The truth of the matter is there are some women who are looking for that type of relationship too. Men would only need to find them. The point of the matter is that it is difficult for both men and women to get exactly what they want without being deceived. There's no way around it. The two wants are completely different and that causes the big debate whether you should lie or be blunt and tell the truth.

I for one thing am and upfront person. Tell me what it is; no sugar coating, no lies and no halfway truths. Though you may get turned down, it is better to just tell the truth in the first place. You never know when it will come back and bite you in the... you know where.
