Of course, it's much worse for a woman to try and save your feelings by telling a lie...
i dont know if thats sarcasm or not, and i cant speak for anyone else... but i would actually prefer a person to be upfront with me about crap then try to hide it "for my sake". because everything comes into the light eventually... i dont care what kind of situation it is, everything will come out sometime or later. and if you had no idea what was going on.. its going to hurt a lot more than if you knew straight out.
there is no arguing that point, it is a
FACT.
i suppose because, if you are upfront about stuff, it gives that person a sense of closure to some extent...
but when you hide things and lie about others.. it gives you a sense of.. "wtf.. i thought things were good.... where did this crap come from?"
its like pride said :

We get into the situation and take it for face value--I like you, you like me, we get along, everything's great.
now, in my experiance, guys are like that with pretty much everything. you get into a fight with a friend of yours and it is resolved quickly and simply. it doesnt come back to haunt you every time the subject comes up. he doesnt get pissy with you when it comes up. you two can laugh about it later.
another very noticable difference would be problem solving.
a man will not talk about a problem unless he is looking for a solution.
"hey man ive got 'problem a' what should i do man?"
problem + solution = he's happy
a woman... as pride has already said... does not want to solve the problem...
a woman simply wants to talk about it, not solve. i cannot tell you how many times i have seen this. girls got a problem and she just talks and talks about it, never looking for a solution. more of a "look at me, ive got a problem, you should be paying attention to me!"
this is also why most women will ***** and ***** at you over something you may have thought was already resolved.
"oh my god i cant believe how bad i have it because of 'problem b'"
problem + talking/drama = she's happy
now, since sonic wanted examples i guess i will post a few of my own experiences.
my first girlfriend, and me thinking everythings dandy. she comes to me one day telling me shes been... unfaithfull. so me being under the infuluence of Vaginal Neurotoxin

, i figure "ok she was straight with me about it i can give her another chance." the story she gave me was complete bull**** but again the Vaginal Neurotoxin effect i let it slide. she said she gave a guy a handjob because he
made her. i asked her if it was rape and she said no, i asked her if he had a weapon or anything or threatened her, she said no. then she says she just touched it once and it came out. now... me being a guy i know thts bull****... it doesnt happen that way. turns out that it was a guy she had liked before she met me and decided to have a little fling with him in her basement. even i can put 2 and 2 together on that one and what really happend.
now, i probably wouldnt have found out about it for a good long while unless she had told me. i am greatfull that she did, but the fact that she tried to make it "less hurtfull" just ruined the whole thing because that turns it into "well what else arent you telling me?".
and just to put and end to this story, she cheated on me twice after this and after that id had enough. after each time it was "never again, i love you!" yea i was dumb.
a common excuse for a woman would be "its none of your buisness" if you ask them something a tad personal.
and thats fine... but you know what... they wouldnt have a problem telling you unless they had something to hide.
and no im not talking about stupid questions like "ahyuk is it your time of the month?"
ive actually had this conversation with a girl
how was your weekend
-was ok
do anything special?
-WHY? ARE YOU TRYING TO KEEP TABS ON YOUR COMPETITION?
there are any number of things wrong with that right there.
a simple follow up question any normal person would have asked anyone...
so i duno... id have to go with pride on this. most of the girls out there are not as rational or logical as we would like them to be. "femalogic"
i feel now would be a nice time to put in that old quote everybodys been thinking of.
Women.
Can't live with them.
Can't live without them.
and pride, i would be interested to see your journal if its allright with you.
