Why do men tell lies? Half truths are half lies.

Why do men tell lies?
True or false

*Note: It was only forwarded to me by my lady friend thru email. Half truths are half lies.


===========================

Here are just a few lies I've been told by men
with regard to relationships. In some cases, it
took me years to figure out what they really
meant, so I've included a brief translation for
the uninitiated.

lie:
"I'll give you a call."

translation:
"I'm not that interested in you"

lie:
"It's not you. It's me."

translation:
"making poor excuse to appease the lady"

lie:
"I'm frightened by how much I love you."

translation:
"I don't have any feelings for you"

lie:
"she doesn't mean anything to me."

translation:
She does mean something to him, ***ually"

lie:
"Let's be friends."

translation:
"It means he doesn't like you anymore"

lie:
"Of course, I love you for who you are."

translation:
"I'm only in it for the ***."

lie:
"I'm busy and going to play basketball with the guys this
weekend."

translation:
"I don't want to see you and I don't want you to come."

lie:
"We need space to cool off"

translation:
"I don't like you anymore and I've found someone better than you"

lie:
"You've been a part of my life"

translation:
"you've been a part of my ***ual and night life"

lie:
"you complete me"

translation:
"you complete my ***ualy desires and fantasies"

And possibly the biggest lie ever told:
"I promise to love, honor and cherish you till
death do us part."

translation:

"I'm going to make you do my laundry, clean
my house, cook my food, serve me when I'm
sick, have my children and take care of them,
feed and entertain my friends and my family"

Men do not like to lie. They do not like to tell
the truth. We would be much happier if
women could just keep things undefined and
subject to change. Women on the other hand
must define not only their own feelings but
their partner's (in ways that make sense only
to them in order to rationalize their own inner
commitment). To put it simply, men have no
clue. We do know when we are happy, sad,
afraid, content, angry, etc. We have no idea
when that will change, however. Therefore
when women ask men (let me rephrase that,
when they demand) to place labels or
express a definitive level of commitment they
never get a straight answer...

2 basic reasons why men tell lies or half truths

1. so as not to hurt their partner...
tagalog translation: para wag masaktan ang damdamin ng mahal nila

2. so that they won't get hurt ....
tagalog translation: para wag silang masapak ng kumander nila

ganun talaga eh! hehe.
kidding aside...as rsnald said, so as not to hurt the feelings of their partner. bihira kasi sa guy ang prangka.

those can also be applied to girls. vice versa lng.

wala namang taong di nagsisinungaling, ke babae or lalaki basta ang pinaka-importante "PAG MAY NAGAWANG KASALANAN O KALOKOHAN WAG NANG IDAMAY ANG MAHAL SA BUHAY". kaya better to keep secrets than telling the truth that will hurt the relationship forever! that is kung hindi mahuhuli

[mikaztro]

"What you don't know won't hurt you" :D
"Mabuti na mang babae kesa manlalake!"
"Half lies aren't always half truths. It is what we call white lies."
"Innocent unless proven guilty"
"Harmless and wholesome......unless provoked."
"it takes two to tango"
"truth hurts"

as for me, i only tell half truths when i'm half naked. pero kapag naked talaga all lies na like pakakasalan kita, mahal kita etc. joks lang hehe

seriously, hindi kasi brutal pag ganon eh. marahan 'ika nga. kumbaga eh hindi ka sinapok agad. kinurot ka lang ng unti-unti. although pag napag-isipan ng husto, mas painful itong mga half truths na ganito.
