when is it common courtesy to lie?

[Mee]

People lie for all sorts of reasons,sometimes people lie with good intentions.Other times,its to get out of situations,or to avoid judgement.

you know when a girl asks you if shes fat and you know she is, but want to be nice about it and just tell her no shes not, do you think in situations like these its common couresty to lie?

they always know your lying...just don't say nothing, or like the twix commercial, just stuff something in your mouth then try to answer them

 

[redmarvel]

well i don't see it as starting a morning, rather ending a long night beforehand...

but that's swings and roundabouts...

t: Well, it is also the best way to end the day. It's just that some people have more energy for the aerobics involved first thing in the morning.

You really want to have fun, tell an extremely stick thin female that she's put on some weight.

never

my fiance bought some maternity clothing....... yeah, I said they were ugly... and boy did that blow up in my face...

I should have said they were nice.....

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

It's never a common courtesy I truly find concerning myself.

I only lie to gain entertainment.

I only lie to gain entertainment.

And I thought I knew you.

Yes. They're not asking you if you think they're fat. They're asking you to tell them they aren't. Hard way learned. I have a metal plate instead of a shin now.

Even if you say they're not fat, they'll still counter with, "yes, I am." I had a girl that actually would continue this in a loop with you regardless of how many times you said she wasn't fat.

This. Someone asking this already has an answer, and that's all they'll actually believe. Do whatever would make them feel better/what they want to hear/etc.

They want constant reinforcement. It's not so much that they just want to be told once that they're not fat, but that they are constantly told that.

i agree.
i lie as easily as i breathe.
a lot of times i lie for no reason, then i have to tell the person that i'm sorry but i retract that former statement.
i think the only people you should need to lie to is your family, sometimes ignorance is truly bliss.

Garden State style.

Technically, you should never need to lie to someone. While liying when soemone asks you if they're fat isn't really common courtesy, neither is trying to get an answer you want just to make you feel good.

when in this situation i always quote the wise words of Al Bundy: "It's not the dress that makes you look fat. It's the fat that makes you look fat."

When telling the truth leads to unnecessary drama...that's when its common courtesy to lie.

To answer the thread question: when talking to a woman; especially one asking for wardrobe feedback.

so true...so so true

 

[AndThePickles]

I actually ask things looking for the truth, even if it's negative. I hate the fact that women looking for only good answers have ruined it for the rest of us!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

You hate it, but you really don't.

This is one probably one of the biggest reasons I am a bad boyfriend, because I don't follow this advice.

 

[AndThePickles]

Yes I do!

 

[kytrigger]

Yes I do!

I believe you [/courtesy]

 

[AndThePickles]

I believe you [/courtesy]

But see, I like to look good not only for myself, but for my boyfriend, so I like to know what he likes/doesn't like. It doesn't offend me if I get a "No, I don't care for that top", etc. response.

I get it, and I actually do believe you. I know a few women the same way, and it's refreshing to hang out with them. Of course, most of the women that do just want a random compliment and pull that crap know better than to ask me anyway, because I won't give it if I don't think it's true.
