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.

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

accompanied by Mr Blunkett.
. The survey questioned 5,000 women, average age 38, across
Scotland,
England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Looks like it's 96% of Scots women, if the survey is accurate.
Huh? I make that 96% of Scots, Irish, English, Welsh and Northern
Irish
women. The UK in other words..
I wasn't being serious..
Just illiterate?
No. Frankly, I just skimmed the article.

You should talk, "teh". I would pull out all your misspelled words in

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.

Scotland,
England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Don't be "rediculous".

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.

"teh" is clearly a typo.

Yes, that's the thing about typos, you see, people tend to repeat them.
Sometimes more than once in the same
post? Not likely.
Don't be such a fucking idiot.
By the way, when are you gong to >parctise what you preach and continue
that
(on topic)d iscussion of the Book of >Daniel with me?
"parctise" ?
Another obvious typo. Still, it gave you a chance to run away from
discussing Daniel didn't it,you hypocritical coward?

Wrong. Typo's are random, not done on the same words over and over again.
Nice try Tommy Boy.

Nope, completely right, I'm afraid.

Really? Perhaps you'd like to take that up with mr Gates , as you can set
his spell checkers to correct common typos. Or do you *really* think I think
"the" is actually spelled "teh"?
Nice try Tommy Boy.
Better than yours, Toni that's for sure!

Another thread offered as evidence, for your consideration, of the
following....
There is a fifth dimension beyond those known to man. It is a dimension
vast as space, stunning in its ignorance and irrelevancy and timeless as
infinity. It is the moderate middle ground between left and right, or it
is the mouth-foaming madness of either, between the pit of his fears and
the summit of his hatreds, between the endlessly argumentative and the
strangely silent. This is the cyber-dimension of a special place of human
insanity. It is an area called the APN Zone.
;D
