First off, an article about the lies men tell written by a woman who's inspired by Cosmo isn't exactly what I would consider a reliable sournce of information on the topic.
1. Any woman that asks if she looks fat in something is just treading into risky territory. I never ask that question because I don’t really care what he thinks I look like most of the time.
2. If your relationship is that unstable that finding out your man goes to strip clubs is a major problem then you have bigger issues.
3. I wish! The guy I’m with hits every problem head on and beats it to death till he’s sure it’ll never come up again. A little ruthless, but effective.
4. Comparing me to a celebrity isn’t going to win you any extra points.
5. I know my cooking sucks. His sucks too. But saying if it sucks you “may start offering to help out with dinner” like it’s the woman’s job or something is really sexists. You want to eat well, learn to cook for yourself!
6. I think of other men, thinking that he doesn’t think of other women is pretty naive.
7. He uses my razor all the time.
8. I’m not a fan of the chick flick. I find them boring and patronizing. I’d much rather watch something with a good chase scene and explosions.
9. I hate spending time with my Mom, if anyone said this to me I would fear for their sanity.
10. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve heard this from my man. After 14 years I hope that all 4 times he’s said it he really meant it. Yes, I'm counting!
A relationship is more fruitful if you don’t sweat the small stuff and just be honest with each other. All this article does is perpetuate stereotypes of a dysfunctional relationship.
