Not even close. While little boys need to lie all the time, real men realize that anything in excess is a recipe for disaster and that includes telling the truth. With the most obvious questions like, Does this dress make me look fat? all the way to Do you think shes pretty? the concept that absolute honesty is the key to a relationship is lunacy. But you may wonder what questions to answer honestly. Wonder no more -- remember that here your honesty is not only welcome but expected. Youre in the company of men and thats the truth.
Be honest about questions that will lead to embar****ment
Keep in mind that she knows the dress makes her look fat or that her speech for work is terrible. However, shes passing the bad guy duty off to you. Well, take it. Keep in mind that you dont want her going out there only to get ridiculed or embar****ed. Be honest but dont be a giant tool about it. Be straightforward but remember pissing off your girl is not a smart move. Being honest with her (like: That dress doesnt flatter you, but you work that short black one) may get you props and laid in one move. Lying, though, will come back to bite you when she hears, Why did he let you wear that? from some skank at her job.
Be honest about questions that will keep her game up
When she asks if you think some girl is pretty, be honest. Say Hell yes. Why? Because, one, she knows you think the other woman is attractive; and, two, if you lie, shell come back with Im secure enough to hear if you find someone pretty blah blah blah. Telling her that other women are always attractive reminds her that youre not some whipped puppy dog thats mindless and blind. It reminds her that youre a man with options and you choose to be with her while she keeps her game up, her skills tight and her body good.
Be honest about questions that keep you from cutting them off
If she says: Would you mind not going out with the guys Friday so we can spend time with my mom who I just saw yesterday? You say, Hell yes. If she says: Im going to that baby shower on Saturday, what time can we leave? You say: Have a nice time, baby, without me. These types of questions are laid out to slowly emasculate and dethrone you as a man with a mind of his own. Answering these questions are steps in building what can and cannot be expected of you. You draw the line in the sand and remind her that youre a man.
