Want to know one more way to win that all-expense paid trip to "Iggy Island"? Lie to me. Thats right, lie and you are gone.
Now, Im not talking about the little white lies like people tell to keep surprise parties secret or saying "no, dear, that outfit doesnt make you look too fat", etc. Im talking about the important ones. A lie shows a lack of respect, both directions. If you lie, you dont respect me and you obviously dont respect yourself because honor is one of the few things you can take with you all through life and it comes from the inside out. No one else can give it to you. If you have no honor, what good is there?
If you are married, say you are married. I sure do. You should be proud of your husband or wife. If you are not proud and think you should be online lying about your status, then do both you and your spouse a favor and just end it. If you are lying to me, I will sniff you out in approximately 2.3 seconds and its off to "Iggy Island" for you.
If you work at McDonalds, thats ok, just say you work at McDonalds. At least you have a job and are trying, right? Be proud of that. Dont say that you are a rocket scientist when you are a burger maker because I will sniff you out in about 2.3 seconds and then its off to "Iggy Island".
You dont have to be from California or New York or wherever. Its ok to be from Kansas...well, ok, maybe not KANSAS but you get my point. It doesnt make you any cooler, or whatever, in my book to be from anywhere. Ive been in pretty much every state in the Union so lie to me and Ill sniff you out in around 2.3 seconds and its off to "Iggy Island".
Are you seeing a pattern developing here? I sure hope so because I know you have a brain and can figure this out. I am a very, VERY intelligent woman. I remember things...lots of things. I have a mind like a steel trap and I dont forget. If you tell me one thing this week and something else next, I will bust you on the lie. Liars seldom keep track of what they say but I do. I abhor a liar and I wont abide a liar. Have some self-respect and respect me by just not lying.
Now, I do realize that in certain jobs you have to tell a few lies, such as maybe what you do or where you are working or what your real name is. I understand those things and know who they apply to. I am not talking about mandatory lies to protect yourself or your job in that way. I am talking about other lies.
The most common lie is being single instead of married. I never understand that one. What is the point to lie? Are you ashamed that you are a cheater/potential cheater? Then stop behaving like that and you wont be ashamed. If you are having issues you should be talking to your spouse about them, not me. If you cant, you shouldnt be married. If you cant stop behaving like that, then dump the marriage bc he/she deserves closure.
Life is all about choices. People seem to think this internet is a breeding ground for suckers. The problem is that there are so many suckers out there. I am not one of them. I am usually pretty damned good about smelling out a lie and I will block your ass for it. A lie is a slap in the face and I dont take kindly to that. You wont get a lie from me. In fact, you'll probably get more truth than you ever wanted because I am a mouthy person with lots of opinions. Not a good combination, sometimes.
There is no harm in the truth and if I think that you might be lying I will ask you, directly. If I ask you directly and you want to continue a semblance of friendship, dont lie because I will know it, Im telling you in all seriousness. My bullshit-o-meter works great. And if you are REALLY dumb enough to lie about things that ANY idiot could discover (like the man who claimed to be single from Georgia and be an Army Ranger when he had never actually even been in the USA or in the military and was married) then I wont even issue a warning, Ill just hit the ignore button, ok?
Again, you be nice to me, Ill be nice to you. Its all about respect and choice. Think Im a bitch about it? Thats ok. I dont mind. Unlike most people on the WWW, I dont need your approval to go about my day. I have the approval of my husband, mine and my children's. In the grand scheme of things, you dont really matter because its just online and we dont really know each other and never will...youre not a part of my real life. You should feel the same about me.
