    Because they know they are caught doing something wrong.

    Because they can't handle the truth themselves. Pretending is easier.

    It's hard but that's because of the web pretending spins goes on the person doing it. We all do it so we all experience the stickiness that comes from it too.

    True....sometimes it does...but not as hurtful as finding out it was all a lie...that adds insult to the mix, doesn't it?

    absolutely. I'd rather hear the truth. Lies fester and make things worse. The truth is like ripping off a band aid really fast.

    Maybe they just hide behind a facade for safety...
    it takes a special person to be totally honest

    Sometimes not telling the truth seems easier and sounds better.

    I understand there's sometimes an appropriate lie....such as the famous "Does my *** look fat" scenario....but I mean being honest, and not 'pretending'...about everything.....I am even offended when my husband will pretend to be sleeping....it seems so childish......I KNOW he's not asleep, so why does he feel the need to 'pretend'?...I'm just so sick of being lied to, that now, even the little things are a big deal....

    SOMTIMES BEING HONEST HURTS MORE THEN THE BULL, SOME OF THESE RULES MIGHT HELP YOU

    The Man Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
    Atlast a guy has taken the time to write this all down

    FINALLY,the guys' side of the story.
    ( Imust admit, it's pretty good.)
    We always hear"the rules"
    From the female side.

    Now here are the rules from the male side.


    These are our rules!
    Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
    ON PURPOSE!

    1. Men are NOT mind readers.

    1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
    You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
    We need it up, you need it down.
    You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

    1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
    or the changing of the tides.
    Let it be.

    1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
    And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

    1. Crying is blackmail.

    1. Ask for what you want.
    Let us be clear on this one:
    Subtle hints do not work!
    Strong hints do not work!
    Obvious hints do not work!
    Just say it!

    1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

    1. Come to us with a problemonlyif you want help solving it. That's what we do.
    Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


    1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
    In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Hours.


    1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
    Don't ask us.

    1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

    1. You can either ask us to do something
    Or tell us how you want it done.
    Not both.
    If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

    1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

    1. Christopher Columbus didNOTneed directions and neither do we.

    1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
    Peach, for example, is a fruit, not Acolor. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have noidea what mauve is.

    1. If it itches, it willbe scratched.
    We do that.

    1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
    We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

    1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

    1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.

    1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball
    orgolf.

    1. You have enough clothes.

    1. You have too many shoes.

    1. I am in shape. RoundIS a shape!

    1. Thank you for reading this.
    Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


    But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
