Things Women Want Men to Lie About
78
So ok, we've gone over things men want women to lie about, and now we're discussing things women want men to lie about. There are loads more things on this end, I assure you -- but we're only going to go over 5 of them today, for the sake of time. Believe me when I tell you women are far more neurotic than men, and this list could go on for days if I didn't set a limit!
As with the article, there are bound to be women who say some of these things don't bother them. If the answers are flattering, I'm sure that's true. If they aren't.. well.. I doubt they wouldn't be bothered! Yes, some women women will say they want to know the truth... but I kind of think they only want to know it if it sounds good!
The size of her arse.
Unless you're dating an aerobics instructor, I'd be very careful before answering this one. And I would not make any attempts to qualify the question by asking things like "do you mean width or total surface area". She won't hear anything you say from that point forward, anyway, she'll be too busy sobbing into her pillow -- the one in the bedroom you're unlikely to be allowed into for the next few days.
Whether or not you think her friends are hot.
I could write you a very lengthy explanation for why you don't want to discuss things like this, but I won't. Just do yourself and your woman a favor and don't get involved in this kind of discussion. Just tell her that *she's* the hottest woman you know -- even if her BFF is a Victoria's Secret model.
Don't tell her how great your ex is.
For God's sake, don't do this. Most women will immediately feel like they are in a competition with her, even if you haven't seen her since she joined the Hare Krishnas 10 years ago and moved to Iceland. Just tell your present GF that *she's* the best, and that'll keep things happy.
How many women you've slept with.
It's ok to tell us a few; most of us prefer a man be experienced in bed. But we don't want to think you shagged every girl in your college dorm. It's best to just say a few, and if asked about their skills, do not be silly enough to mention how talented any of them were!
Is she putting on weight.
If she's the type who wouldn't normally ask this kind of thing, but suddenly asks if she's getting fat -- the answer is ALWAYS no. I don't care if she's turned into Fat Actress. The answer is NO. She's asking because she already *knows* she's putting weight on, and she's depressed about it. She's looking for a little cheer-up in the form of a white lie. So give it to her. Happy people lose weight faster than depressed people who mope around with jello-pops in their mouths all day. (Not that I'm speaking from experience.....)

If you don't want to know the answer, don't ask the question. How could I demand the truth and not give it?
Doc - Yes, it should be common sense for most men. ;)
Fret - Well... see... women are actually fishing for comfort on these things. Or compliments, depending on how you view it. And if she's asking, that probably means the man does a crappy job at expressing how much he wants her!
what if you happen to think a nice, firm, booty is very sexy? can you tell her she has one?
That's a good point, Isa.
As always a great hub to make everyone think...Good stuff Isabella

You know you're one of the few ladies who understands relationship (boy-girl ones) patterns for what theyre worth and say it just like it is and can advise women to behave like a lady and get treated like one in return. Your blunt honesty is much appreciated, not that I needed the pointers on this hub ;) cheers, keep it up :)
Isabella, I sent this one to my boyfriend. Ha. You always have interesting hubs.
Hahaha, funny but true. Love this hub! It shows how complicated women are from a man's point of view. Hehe.
hah!,
Very true words about lies!!
Good advice which i have learned and mastered over time...lol
This is for the idiots that do make the mistake of being lost in outer space when asked "is my bottom getting bigger?" and say something really stupid. The only thing you could say to clean it up, is "And that is just the way I like it!? Said with serious emotion it MIGHT get you out of the dog house.... doubtful, but worth a try since you already screwed up. Better to just read the lady's words of wisdom above.
Right on hub - fun as always!
Yup these are true. Better to keep the peace and keep the mouth closed sometimes on certain subjects....lol...
Why when I tell her she is great! she doesent believe me, she can wear a sack for all I care, I Love her as a person, not some stupid image of what she thinks she is supposed to be. She is the same person I fell in love with, the fact that its the first thing I tell her in the morning is that I love her, its the last thing at night, whenever we speak on the phone during the day I never hang up without saying it; I have tried to back it up with action not words.
I can honestly say I am not lying when she asks any of the questions I tell her I love her.
'Am I look big on this?'..lol...No man will dare to say 'Yes'
"Do you mean width or total surface area" HA! I love that one.
Top tips sure to keep us men folk out of trouble, thanks!
Great list. I often tell my husband he needs to learn how to tell me white lies when it's appropriate. LOL
You are so right! Hehe :-)
Men just dont get it! these simple things- or those in which we as women think are simple concepts, men just do not get. *shakes head* very good hub
These are good tips and I've used them over the years, but after 7 years of marriage my wife knows that I'm saying what she wants to hear. Although I think that she doesn't mind. Even after 7 years
Guys they are on to you after a while :)
I agree with Fret. If you dont want to know the answer don't ask the question. In my humble experience most women love 2 things above all else: To be the center of attention and to have something to be angry or upset about. I understand that sometimes you girls are just fishing for affection, but if your rear is the size of a barn, then maybe asking how it looks is not the best way to get it. If you trust your guy and you know he loves you then maybe you should just be honest with him. If you can't be honest with him, he does not show you affection or you do not trust him, then maybe you need to find a new man. If you surround yourself with flaming circles, you have no right to get mad when us guys can't jump them all properly. We are not all acrobats you know! ;) Why can't we just all get along and stop looking for things to get upset about? All this sounds like I am some kind of woman hater lol. I'm not. I am just tired of seeing all the nice girls end up with a-holes and all the nice guys ending up with witches. If we can just find some way to get all the nice girls and nice guys together the world would be a better place. :) Maybe hubpages is the answer! ;) lol
You should write a book on this subject. If you do and you need a good editor, I'd be pleased to volunteer! I'm sure I would learn a lot and enjoy the read enormously!

This ties in with your other recent post about "How to tell that he's into you" (or not, as the case may be). If we're bluntly honest about some things - like whether or not we think she's put on weight - then we're probably not really into her. A guy would have to either be totally dense or looking to break it off to be honest in his answer to THAT question.
It's a Catch 22. Women SAY they want honesty, but they don't. Sigh...
Otherwise, your points make good sense. Let's face it: I'd be pretty chuffed if my GF mooned on about how hunky my friends are, so why should I expect her to take it in good grace if I paw at the ground over her attractive friends? Ditto the notches on the bedpost: I really don't want to know that she's slept with the Oakland Raiders, and am pretty sure that she doesn't want to know too much about MY history.
