"You guys, I've discovered one of the unknown truth about men," I expressed to my co-workers over lunch. Brandon and Monica both raised their eyebrows and said in unison, "What is it?"
"That they all lie!" I answered.
Monica shook her head and said "You're right about that girl!" Brandon rolled his eyes and said that it wasn't true.
"See there," I said to Brandon "you're lying RIGHT now..and for what?" He laughed and I explained to them how I had come to this conclusion by two situations that happened to me in the last 7 days.
Situation 1
The clock read 10:30 p.m., the Hills had come on and gone off, the dishes were washed, and I was still waiting for RJ. "I'll be there by 9:30, he had told me just 3 hours ago."
Maybe something had happened, I should give him the benefit of the doubt right? [wrong] I called, twice...no answer. Five minutes later he calls me back...
Him: Hey my bad, I'm on the way [ lying]
Me: What happened I thought you were gonna be here in an hour ago?
Him: I got caught up with one of my boys, he needed my help. [lying]
Me: Oh ok, well I'll see you when you get here.

I couldn't believe he had just blatantly lied to me like that. One of our mutual friends had innocently text me that he was at the same place as RJ watching the big game. I just didn't get it, what was the big deal? Why couldn't he just tell me he was watching the game with his boys and would be over after? It makes no sense to me.
I didn't say anything about it when he finally did come over, I just let it go and made a mental note to myself.
Situation 2
Q [the older man] explained on a particular Friday night that he was beat from a long day at work and was just gonna stay in and hit the sheets. I had absolutely no problem with that since we had been with each other for the past 3 days. Besides I wanted to hang with the girls anyway and that's exactly what I did. A couple of old friends and I headed downtown to d.c. to chill at a bar/lounge.
Imagine my surprise when I was sipping on my martini and talking to some random [dude] when I spotted Q across the room whispering in some chicks ear. My mouth dropped, I wasn't gonna cause a scene or act crazy [ it's not like we're exclusive]. I guess he felt someone staring at him because he looked up and our eyes met. I shook my head, looked away, and pretended that this random [wack dude] was the most interesting person on Earth.
Q grabbed my hand, I pulled away.
Him: hey don't be like that, I used to work with that woman, I was just talking to her.
Me: I don't care about you talking to that woman Q...that's not what I'm mad at.
Him: Look I did not want to come out tonight, I really wanted to stay inside but one of my boys had a bad day and wanted to come out [just lying].
Me: Ok Q, it's fine really. Enjoy your night.
::I smiled, walked away, and continued talking to my girls like nothing had happened::
Q came after me, held me from behind, and whispered he was sorry again in my ear. I let it go...once again. However I still didn't get it. Why couldn't he just tell me that he wanted to go out with his boys that night? I wouldn't have cared, really!
FYI: that chick cut her eyes at me the whole night...hmm
...
"Well," my male co-worker said obviously amused by male bashing stories. "That's what men do, we lie about simple sh*t, I don't know why we just do."
Me: So what are women supposed to do just accept it?
Him: Yea because we won't stop lying..that's just how it is.
Me: Well ok then...
::I give up::

Because men are stupid!! They feel like women will get mad if we hear the truth..so annoying. My man does it all the time!
omg...this is soooooooooo true! Men lie about the dumb shit! And for whatttttttttttttttttttt
Men lie about simple shit. Women lie about everything.
Females problems with lying go so deep they even lie to themselves. Because they hate having to admit they are lying, triflin' ass chicks. But sadly, all too often...they are.
scuse u-anon aka JP..women do not lie about everything!!!
Officially my new fav blog!
Men stop lying!!!!!!!
who the hell is RJ? You cheating on old dude already? smh
And men lie? Yea aight..
don't give up boo, there are some good guys left.
Gasp! Good post; you are such a good story-teller. I'm not sure if all men lie, since I have only dated a few. Yeah, so I have no meaningful contribution to this blog today :-/
Hahaha. How you know it was me?!
1) My man said "so you cheating on old dude already?!" --- Classic.
2) As far as him slidin' off in the streets with "co-workers." Chances are, he is smashin' that chick, or even more likely he hasn't smashed yet but is trying to, OR he used to smash and wants to get back in it. These are the only scenarios I can imagine that would call for him being all in her ear at a public place.
But he's a clown for lying [and then going somewhere where you might see him]. And then tryna handcuff you out there grabbin' your hand and all that. His theme music must be A Tribe Called Quest's "Sucka Nigga."
3) Truth is. Men lie. Women lie. People lie. No point in making generalizations. I think my golden retriever (I know, I know, my dog is not gangsta) Tasha even lied to me the other day cuz she was crying like she wanted to go for a walk and when I came downstairs she just wanted to play. Lyin' ass...
4) Father time has only a couple more strikes before he need to get cut, though. For some reason I feel better about some young dude lying to you then some O.A.N.
"Young ass nicca had a thing for old ladies, but as he got older he began to like 'em younger."
LMAO-did he just call dude "Father Time?" I'm gonna have to agree with everything JP said...
Strike 1
