Honesty is the best policy?

Not even close. While little boys need to lie all the time, real men realize that anything in excess is a recipe for disaster and that includes telling the truth. With the most obvious questions like, “Does this dress make me look fat?” all the way to “Do you think she’s pretty?” the concept that absolute honesty is the key to a relationship is lunacy. But you may wonder what questions to answer honestly. Wonder no more -- remember that here your honesty is not only welcome but expected. You’re in the company of men and that’s the truth.

Be honest about questions that will lead to embarrassment
Keep in mind that she knows the dress makes her look fat or that her speech for work is terrible. However, she’s passing the bad guy duty off to you. Well, take it. Keep in mind that you don’t want her going out there only to get ridiculed or embarrassed. Be honest but don’t be a giant tool about it. Be straightforward but remember pissing off your girl is not a smart move. Being honest with her (like: “That dress doesn’t flatter you, but you work that short black one”) may get you props and laid in one move. Lying, though, will come back to bite you when she hears, “Why did he let you wear that?” from some skank at her job.

Be honest about questions that will keep her game up
When she asks if you think some girl is pretty, be honest. Say “Hell yes.” Why? Because, one, she knows you think the other woman is attractive; and, two, if you lie, she’ll come back with “I’m secure enough to hear if you find someone pretty… blah blah blah.” Telling her that other women are always attractive reminds her that you’re not some whipped puppy dog that’s mindless and blind. It reminds her that you’re a man with options and you choose to be with her while she keeps her game up, her skills tight and her body good.

Be honest about questions that keep you from cutting them off
If she says: “Would you mind not going out with the guys Friday so we can spend time with my mom who I just saw yesterday?” You say, “Hell yes.” If she says: “I’m going to that baby shower on Saturday, what time can we leave?” You say: “Have a nice time, baby, without me.” These types of questions are laid out to slowly emasculate and dethrone you as a man with a mind of his own. Answering these questions are steps in building what can and cannot be expected of you. You draw the line in the sand and remind her that you’re a man.

Tell the "TRUTH"
Those who recommend complete honesty live in a fantasy land. We know the truth: Absolute truth is an absolute disaster. Remember that only little boys lie all the time; men wield honesty like a scalpel.
