mrsmiles4444: as mentioned, some are true to who they are, and what they are about. on the other hand, MOST, are not. JMO


Don't quite understand that attitude. It will ALWAYS come back and bite you in the A##, so what's the point? Try to always be honest about everything. Not singling you out mrsmiles, just a general observation.cheers

mrsmiles4444: day in , day out. it's the norm here in cyberspace. and to think, all of us are looking for something. whether it be love, friends, or anything. to begin with a lie, is not cool in my book, and if you begin with one, how many more will there be?
Most that I have dealt with have been honest in facts, but not honest in feelings or any of the other important things of that nature to have a good relationship.
But I have run into some of the other type that you are describing, lies about facts of theirselves.sigh

general observation about what? that folks lie? I'm true to EVETYTHING I say, state, discuss, and anything else you'd like to know. no surprises lurking round me. You can bank on that.

I call it like I see it though, and what I see, is a great deal of people, who lie about one thing or another.

Now this is not an attitude..it is a discussion on " how honest are you"

Funny...because I was recently having the same conversation...but with myself. I won't get too involved with anyone because I have no closet space. And I will not move from my "compound". But, I'm not really looking for a partner

Serenity1971: We all talk about wanting honesty in our profiles and our lives, but really and truly how honest are you with yourself as well as others!?!

"To thine own self be true"

In talking with a near and dear friend tonight, we had kind of a chuckle for ourselves and some gut honesty came out of me that I never expected.

I was talking about my comfortable little apartment and how if I were to get involved and someone were to move in with me...You know what...There's no space in my closet for "his" clothing and I'm not really sure I'd be willing to give up my closet space.

Hmmmmm a little selfish? Maybe....But maybe it's more the fact that I'm content with just me right now at this moment. Maybe I'm not willing to put the effort into a relationship right now because I want to focus on me and get my life on the right track. I know that right now I'm right where I'm supposed to be right here right now at this moment.

Does anyone else have the same gut honesty? Can you admit it?


I reckon that a lot (in fact most) of the stuff that I come out with here on CS doesnt often meet with 'popular opinion' - but 'popular opinion' never did stall me in my tracks teddybear

to mine own self Im very true - and to mine own friends as well hug

those are the lies I speak of. what happens after you begin to date is another issue, or discussion in itself, but if they lie from the profile, you can count on more coming if you begin to date, because you've accepted their initial lie to begin with.

How do you know they are not honest about their feelings? "feelings" are not right or wrong, they just are...

Like I said, not about you. I don't understand why anyone would want to lie about themselves/their views ect. on this site. Unless they had no intention of ever meeting any of the people their talking to.

I do believe there are times when the human brain, and THE HEART can sense when someone is out for something other than love or a relationship. maybe a slam dunk in the hay?

people will say and do the darness things to get some bootie.

But I am happy to see out right lies in the beginning, cause then I know not to have any thing to do with that person.
The really bad ones are the ones you could date for 5 or 6 months then they relax in the relationship and out comes the truth about them. They are strong liars that you can't see thru, until they let down their guard, those are the ones to be weary of.very mad

Like in you find out later, they didn't really love you. Or they stopped and didn't even tell you. Or you do things that bother them and couldn't even share that with you. all that stuff

I do believe we had this conversation (for about 4 1/2 hours) last night. If you really want me to do what you have asked me to do, you had damn well better not lie..wink

yeap, those are the ones that hurt the most, and are so good as you state, you can't see through them, thus we can't always jump the gun into a relationship. here I am calling the kettle black. mr. wear your heart on your sleave Al. doh

mrsmiles4444: this is great. fabulous motivational piece, but what does it have to do with being honest, or is it, be honest to yourself? Point lost here.


We have no control over what another does, the only thing we can change is "ourselves"

If "WE" get hurt in a relationship, the "hurt", the "feelings" are ours and we must own them.

Personally, when I "hurt", I ask myself, "what role did YOU play"...sigh

Is there not an old saying, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all"??

Question????? What would we be losing? If I do not give up me in a relationship, I lose nothing..dunno
