96% of women are liars, honest
EDWARD BLACK
The Scotsman Online
NINETEEN out of 20 women admit lying to their partners or husbands, a survey on
attitudes to truth and relationships has found.
Eighty-three per cent owned up to telling "big, life-changing lies", with 13
per cent saying they did so frequently.
Half said that if they became pregnant by another man but wanted to stay with
their partner, they would lie about the baby’s real father.
Forty-two per cent would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, no
matter the wishes of their partner.
And an alarming 31 per cent said they would not tell a future partner if they
had a sexual disease: this rises to 65 per cent among single women.
In the poll of 5,000 women for That’s Life! magazine, 45 per cent said they
told "little white lies" most days. The favourite untruth was "of course you
don’t look fat", with "these shoes were only £10" in second place.
Jo Checkley, the editor of That’s Life! , said that while many women now lied
to avoid hurting their partner’s feelings, covering up the truth about a baby
could have far more damaging consequences.
She said: "Modern women just can’t stop lying, but they do it to stop hurting
other people’s feelings. It could be argued that these little white lies
simply make the world go round a little more smoothly. But to tell a man a baby
is his when it’s not, or to deliberately get pregnant when your partner
doesn’t want a baby, is playing Russian roulette with other people’s
lives."
The National Scruples and Lies Survey 2004 found plenty of untruths were told
over the Christmas period. A total of 78 per cent said they would pass off a
second-hand gift as a brand new present, while half have lied about a Christmas
card being "lost in the post".
Women will also lie to save people’s feelings, with only 27 per cent saying
they would tell a man if he was hopeless in bed (although a third would tell
their friends all about it).
Just over half would flatter a man if he asked them about his looks and only 46
per cent would give the "brutal truth". However, 61 per cent of women would
want their partners to be "brutally honest" if they asked them "do I look fat?"
or "do you think my best friend’s attractive?"
Elsewhere, 54 per cent admitted stealing sweets or chocolates; 23 per cent
would "sneak a bottle or two" home if they were invited to a party by a
well-off friend; 49 per cent would "kiss and tell" to the media for £25,000 if
they had a one-night stand with a celebrity; and 38 per cent say they would
marry purely for money.
Nearly half said they had faked orgasms and 55 per cent admitted claiming they
were tired, had a headache, or felt ill to "get out of lovemaking".
Nineteen per cent of women with a long-term partner said they had cheated on
him, while 30 per cent of all women have had an affair with a married man.
Sixty-eight per cent said they did not trust their partner.
As far as trustworthy personalities are concerned, the woman with "the most
honest face" was Fern Britton, the This Morning host. She was followed by the
singer Kerry Katona (formerly McFadden), Sharon Osbourne of The X Factor and
the Queen.
The "most honest male face" jointly went to Ant and Dec, the presenters of
I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!, with Prince William second.
The results come in the wake of the controversy surrounding David Blunkett, the
Home Secretary, and his former lover, the publisher Kimberly Quinn. They had a
child, but she kept details of the affair secret from her husband Stephen, even
taking her son to Corfu for a week’s holiday to bond with him this year.
Mr Quinn accepted his wife’s story, but she had covered up the fact she was
accompanied by Mr Blunkett.
• The survey questioned 5,000 women, average age 38, across Scotland,
England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Oh spooky! My daughter once cut all of her daddy's armpit hair off while
he was sleeping!
The women then laugh in their crying
faces. (That's why Tony takes steroids.
Extra insurance!)
Yes....she laughed hysterically the next day when he awoke and
discovered it.
Also she once cut the cat's whiskers off when she was three.
Doc ;D

Feeling a bit bitter about Loida's rug-burns again eh? I'm sure we can
expect another diatribe about "latinos" and their attempts to exterminate
the white race soon..

ALL LIES!! At least 96% anyway. :-D

George Washington could not tell a lie to his father, or so we were
taught that early on in elementary school.
I think that was a bunch of BS myself.
;)
I believe everyone, men and women have told a lie at some point in their
life.
Probably most of us have lied in our early years due to immaturity and
once we grow to be responsible adults....(ages will vary) should stop
all that. Unfortunately some never do.
I for one have such a conscience that the guilt I would suffer from
telling a lie keeps me from doing so.
I do not even feel comfortable telling some one their new hair style
looks nice when I think it looks awful just to spare their feelings.
I think it comes from the way I was raised and I am doing the same in
turn for my children.
One time I kept my son home from school and took him shopping on his
birthday. I wrote an excuse note the next day to his teacher and told
her we played hooky that day, went to lunch and then went shopping. She
laughed and was amused at my honesty because I could have lied and said
he was absent because he was sick.

Here's a bit of truth. I didn't read the article... I just
read the headline. I know, how can I live with myself, how
can I face myself in the mirror. I was just messing with
tony (he deserves it).
Telling the truth is a weird thing. You never know how people
are going to respond. Some people take it well and maturely,
others freak out.

I confess. I didn't read it either. Maybe two or three lines.
Most of his articles are summed up in the header.

can I face myself in the mirror. I was

Yes...the truth is SCARY at times.

You should get a real after-school job. Or find a more appropriate
sandbox to play in kid.

Hey, Buck. I can explain it for you. He has a Puerto-Rican wife that
cheated on him, so he's starting threads about "the white race dying
out" - "interracial marrige" - "interracial breeding" (he has two
interracial daughters btw).. And now this bit about women lying.
The erratic posting of both of these topics by him are obviously
connected.
He's angry at his wife (and if he truly believes the white race will
die out - he's more than likely also angry at himself for contributing
to it by his own "interbreeding"..)
HTH.
