I am a pretty honest person and I lie often. It is human nature. I lied about 20 times today when people asked me how I am doing and I said FINE despite my back hurting like crazy.
According to a 2002 study conducted by the University of Massachusetts, 60% of adults can't have a ten minute conversation without lying at least once.
I just told a coworker my dog is doing well - LIE. She shat all over the floor last night because she ate a bunch of peanuts and got sick. And then she ate it again!!!
Trivial thing, no. White lie, no. Basically any kind of lie that doesn't really hurt anyone is basically about being polite and tactful, no. Something important or major (or the lie is somehow harmful), yes.
I mean, how stupid would it be for me to walk away from someone who tells me I am hot when I know I am not?

Exactly! That reminds me of the thread from the chubby girl who asked her date if he likes her body (because he only complimented her face) and he said she is too big and then she was mad that he was honest.
If you are dating someone and you found out he or she is lying, even for a some trivial thing, would you let it go or you just walk away?
Even if it is a "white lie"?
Here is something that happened before.
Asked for a number. They said they didn't have a pen but there was one laying right in the car. They never called them out that a pen was right there, they apparently assumed they were lying.
Guy got a trim on his hair. Girlfriend said , "Did you get a hair cut?" Guy forgot because it was a busy day and said, "No." She then tells him there is hair on his collar.
Did he lie?
If you word things just right you can make it seem a person is lying but in fact they may not have known they were.

The first time, I would make sure s/he knew that lying is not something I tolerate in an intimate relationship. Not at all. Any time after that, I would probably pull back from the relationship if not end it completely. If you will lie to me about something stupid, then you will lie to me about something important.
And before anyone jumps in, I'm not the type to ask questions that I don't want a real answer to. If I ask "Do these pants make me look fat?" believe it or not, I really want to know.
