Its part of learning about who they are too. "Why people lie" tells a lot about a person beyond the lie. Just to do it to be like" OMG YOU LIED" yeh..thats immature.

Why the hell are you dating so many liars, is the question.

Liars tend to over talk the situation. Like why they were late for work or something and they keep rambling on about it like they are trying to convince themselves they are telling the truth- perfect tell.

Everyone lies about something. Thats one of the reason I like to do this. There are "white lies" that people try to tell too thats just endearing. Like when a good friend will pick up a more flattering dress overly excited rather than telling you look like crap in what you have on.

Your way of dating seems rather cruel. You don't seem like your trying to find a nice guy but see them make a fool out of those who ask you out. Did you learn your little trick from your mother? Perhaps I am being too honest with you. I don't know but when I met my wife I never held back telling her who I was. Do you need to play games to find out about a certain fellow?

Oooh everyone has a different method for different types of lies. This one always gets me in trouble though because I always include the details like a nutball....LOL

A huge once I notice in general is voice tones. Not many people are good enough to make sure they do not have that give the switch up. Its like a audio lie detector test.

What good would lying about even the smallest thing do for me? I take pride in being honest with others and I expect them to be honest with me. Your statement of "Everyone lies about something." is untrue. I don't know where you get your circle of friends, but there are some of us out there who don't play stupid games.

You are in your 20s right? People lie. Just start paying attention. I notice it a lot more with age.
