I think most of these are acceptable but the sexual partners thing I definitely disagree on, I bet if a man said 0 but it was actually 5, he would hear about it. Washing hands, that indicated if your a slob or not to me so I would want to know the truth. 22-24 are all ones that I personally would want to know about, I guess it depends if your lying to a man or woman, either way I say tell the truth but on the bf sex one if you tell a gf im sure you will just giggle but if you tell him that and your lying that could really hurt him later on. Plus I want to know if the person I am with is a lush so spill the grapes on the wine =)

@East
For the most part I agree on the sexual partners thing, particularly when beginning a new relationship it’s good to know where the other person has been not just for STD-protection reasons, but it’s just good to know. Not telling the truth about this to others (friends, coworkers, parents!) is fine.

@ Miss, I agree…I don’t think it’s best to lie to a partner, but to others, I’m all game.

LOL this is the way I feel (about some)... girls fart. Yeah, I paid a LOT for my purse. I don’t floss… EVER, and dentists can tell that. EVERYONE Knows the words to (prob) every Boyz II Men Song… EVER, because they’re amazing. Wine is yucky! Everybody creeps around on facebook, that’s what it’s there for! lol People who remember what their natural hair color is, AMAZE me. My fave magazine is def. Cosmo, no need to lie, I’m a smart chick who just happens to love to read about fashion and sex. Period. :D

The only lie I’ve frequented is “I love this gift” and what I meant was “I love this gift because it will make an excellent White Elephant for next year”

@miss
Yea its good to know just for open communcation’s sake and also for gaurding against a serial player of either sex. So to the partner I say its a must but yea, to whoever else, its none of ther business so who cares. As for “I love you”...I dont think thats a good one to lie about or just say to say, personally.

For #1, I think it is ok to follow my simple plan: You don’t have to count lovers if they were more than 5 years ago, UNLESS you still fantasize about them.
I have never even heard a Boyz II Men song, but that’s because those boy band creature annoy the bejesus out of me.
And my shoes are never ever ridiculously cheap, thank you very much.

I gotta say, there is absolutely nothing in this world like an awesomely cheap pair of shoes. And let’s not even talk about Boyz II Men…or perhaps that JC Chasez song.

how you lost your job
who just texted you
whether or not your family was white trash (or if they fed you with a silver spoon)
that you’re not a jealous person

I hate lying. It feels so awful to look someone in the eyes and be dishonest that I can’t/won’t do it. I’d rather expose my worst truth that deliberately mislead someone. It doesn’t mean I don’t think about little white lies to explain why I was late for work some mornings, but in the end, the truth is just a lot easier on my conscience and a lot easier to keep track of.

Who dumped who.
It doesn’t matter if I had a “say anything” moment on your lawn, or called you drunk and crying and telling you to take me back. All my girlfriends think I dumped your sorry ass and that I am infinitely happier because of it. Period.

Simosa- Mea Culpa. Sorry my opinion was so offensive to you. Next time don’t read my posts if they drag you down.
