Man, I wish to goodness that I knew about keeping it 100 with women when I younger. I don’t even know where the idea that we had to lie came from in the first place.
For me, I can only assume it was to get what I wanted from women. And honestly, I had insecurities about myself when I was younger. So to combat what I felt like lacked, I would lie in other areas to gain. Now, as I reflect, none of that was necessary to do.
When I asked you the lying question, it was to make a particular point. Of course there are signs like language, body movements, patterns, and so forth we can use to determine if a person is being honest. But that would take some experience to learn how to do. However, if you’re anything like me, I practiced to be a good liar. Now, for the most part I keep it 100 because I usually don’t have many reasons to lie.
But if I had to, it’s likely a person wouldn’t know. That’s what I would do to women when I was younger. A person truly wouldn’t know if a person was lying unless you catch them in a lie or if your in their head. Other than that, you would be looking for signs which we know some women will go great extent to catch their man lying or cheating.
As you, I had my daughter in 2008 and I hope that she doesn’t get treated the way I treated women when I was trying to figure the world out.
