"All things are permissable, not all things are beneficial"
I prefer to avoid all lies, it's much easier overall IMO, though sometimes it takes courage. |

We all know a woman's measurement of size is different to a mans
I think it's acceptable as long as nobody gets hurt |

Is this a general question - or would you rather explain a situation and the little white lie you're thinking of telling and ask our opinions? |

"When you have been invited as a guest for a meal and force fed food down you and afterwards through a fake smile "food was lovely.. i am stuffed""
See, I would try and say something like 'Thank you so much, that must have taken you forever to prepare....'. I actually rather enjoy the challenge of being honest without ever hurting anyone's feelings unecessarily. |

I often tell little white lies. Many cause i know the person asking isnt interested.
You walk down the street Hi, how are you? Fine thanks and you?
They dont really want me to stand there and have me tell them all the reasons im not fine |

When you can get away with blaming it on the dog.
Or more seriously, when you genuinely believe you're doing it in the other person's best interest and not just to save yourself some hassle. |

My belief is this, if you can tell a little white lie over something small?
You sure as hell can tell a big lie to keep yourself out the shit.
Neither is good. |

I dont believe you. I dont think men can function in life without white lies. From getting along in work, to telling the wife her hair looks nice when you dont really have an opinion etc. |

I would tell a little white lie to spare someone's hurt feelings. I don't think it leads to bigger lies. I see it as a kindness. Honesty isn't always the best policy with some things, in my personal opinion. |

With work i had to lie from time to time
Telling people things were not that bad... Reassuring them it would be ok when all while i can see the real extent of things...as long as it kept them fighting it worked |

""Does my arse look big in this?"
Hold on a minute, let me step back a bit so I can take it all in! "
Marry me!!
I want a man that will say this. None of that "you look lovely dear" shite. |

"And the trophy for old thread reviver of the day goes to "
No I searched for my Would I Lie To You Thread and a few came up. Thought I'd breath life into them again. |
