Hi Susan (and everyone):
I am the type of person who needs to laugh. Laughing
feels great. I will joke about everything. I will joke
about sex, religion, politics, white collar, blue collar,
etc. I am against discrimination and violence, but I am
always up for a good laugh (even if the joke is on me).
Laughter is such a wonderful thing.
I am going to agree with a lot of things you said,
especially about our culture today. Today everything we
do or say is wrong. We are constantly told we are wrong.
If I smile at a good looking co-worker I am wrong. My
humor is reserved only for the people I know as so many
little things today are deemed so offensive.
Speaking of humor, my favorite DVD is Airplane (1980). I
will watch this movie over and over again and I laugh. I
have my bad and sad days and I need humor. I bring up the
movie “Airplane” as it is a movie you can’t make today.
It’s too offensive in today’s culture.
Back to the topic of “Why Men lie,” Many reasons. I know
good men. Men who are good husbands and good fathers.
Men who don’t cheat. Still we are told we are wrong and
once in a while it is nice to let the hair down, say
whatever you want to say and not have that come back to
haunt you. My ex girlfriend said way too many times “once
it is in the memory bank it stays there.”
I am against cheating on a significant other. It is
wrong. If you feel the need to cheat, you should not be
with that person. I have told the people closest to me if
they ever cheat, not to use me as an excuse. I think it
is wrong and I am a terrible liar. However if a friend of
mine calls me and asks me to meet him somewhere for just
one beer and not tell anyone, I am all for it. I have had
friends thank me for making them laugh for a moment and
told me I was a good mental break. Then after one beer
they will go back to their wives, their children and their
mortgage payments.
Regarding the “mother” analogy, I can see how that applies
(asking mommy for permission), but here is my argument.
Mothers usually forgive; wives and girlfriends usually
don’t (at least the women I know).
Everything I stated here is just my experiences. The
original topic was “Why Men Lie.” I am only giving
feedback as I think some people may find it useful.
I will agree a lot of what we are doing (men lying, women
lying) is based on today’s culture. I don’t have an
answer but do realize we have some problems. In a perfect
world we would have mutual cooperation. If I thought for
one moment I could actually make the world a better place,
I would at least try.
I am a little sad right now but today is Tuesday.
Tonight “My Name is Earl” is on as well as “The Office.”
Humor keeps me going.
