WHY LIE?

Yes sometimes people do see the lie but they want to think better of the person. They want to give that person the benefit of the doubt.  But sometimes the dog has to pee on your leg before you recognize that it is indeed a dog.

And in my opinion a lie hurts way more than the truth ever could. I think a lie is unfair. You have the other person operating under a misconception. That isn't right or fair. Then it makes it even harder for the person to trust anyone again.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist.  The comment was just too much for me to handle like a mature adult.  Plus, I been lookin for a dayuuum laugh all day AND I have not slept in over 24 hrs.

Since we are asking questions....

Why do people feel a need to air their dirty laundry on a public forum for (attention) instead of sending a person a private message and discussing it there??

Malicious liars are a peeve of mine as well.  

However,   I do know that sometimes folks simply prefer  " not to share " their personal information with others for their own personal reasons. 

Such as :   weightloss surgery,  hitting the number,  sexual orientation, possibly on the job relationships, test score on recent exam.    

Everybody has been guilty of that a time or two -in one way or another - myself included. 

Is that still considered the same as lying, inquiring minds really want to know

No that is not lying. Everything isn't everyone's business. I don't think you have to be a complete open book for everyone. IMO.  Speaking for myself what I consider lying

1. Omission of important information.  So if you have a child and you are dating someone and you lead them to believe you don't have any children by omission. Then you are lying.

2. Outright lies. If we are dating and I ask you if you have a wife/girlfriend and you tell me no and you really do. Then you my dear are a liar.
