a line that has saved my ass many times.

So first the warnings.

If you are in a meaningful relationship, which I have been in, lying is not a good idea. I don’t advocate it at all. I’m cocky, but I’m not a scumbag.

Guys who cheat on and/or lie to their girlfriends or wives are disgraceful and I don’t like hearing about it.

Relationships are based on trust, and lying kills trust quicker than your sister rolling up to a party you’re at kills your game.

There are very few exceptions to what I said in the above paragraphs, as most men have known since they were very young.

If your girl asks you if she looks fat, or ugly, or anything demeaning, of course you should say no. If this girl means anything to you, then her feelings should be your priority. Say no. How you treat her during whatever she’s going through will be what she truly cares about.

Wow, you’re all really seeing my soft side today. . . I better cut it out.

Aaaannnddd, back to being a cocky stud.

What I’m talking about in this article are little harmless lies told when you’re trying to hook up with a hottie. Do you ever find lines like this coming out of your mouth?

“Oh you got a 1500 on your SATs? Dammit! You beat me by 10 points.” Here 10 is actually 350.

“Yea me too, I’m a senior, just turned 21 last month, grad school applications are such a pain.” Here 21 means 19, and “grad school applications” really mean “calling your father’s friend and begging for an entry level job.”

“Oh you like that bar/club? I actually know the owner, we can get in anytime you want. His name is Mike and me and his son were best friends in elementary school.” Here “I know the owner” is short for “I have no friggin idea who the owner is.”

You get the point.

This happens all the time, you’re talking to a hottie, she brings up a topic that she feels passionate about, or interested in, and you feel that if you say something about that topic she’ll feel more attracted to you. So you make something up. Happens all the time to everyone.

I’ve done it many times.

And I think its ok for a few reasons. First of all, they’re small lies. Any fool who tells a huge lie will probably lose track of it and get caught anyways. Girls are usually skeptical anyways, especially vert hot girls. So small lies, told merely to keep the conversation going and keep the girl around are ok because they have her best interests in mind. Remember that hooking up with you is in her best interest. . . always.

The second reason that I think little lies are ok is because girls do it in so many ways. For example, when a girl that’s interested in you (falsely) acts like she isn’t to test you. Or when you hit on a girl and she (unjustifiably) acts too cool. Or when a girl is really a 4-5 but with make-up and her one really nice outfit, fools you into thinking she’s an 8-9.

When you’re single, there is a lot of bullshitting going on ANYWAYS, so little lies and fabrications just add drops to a bucket full of water.

OK so let’s skip ahead. Let’s say you told a girl at a bar that you’re a senior doing pre-med, and was the valedictorian in high school. Those small lies sparked her interest, and THEN with your witty charm and sense of humor, sparked her attraction and you went home with her. Now what? The optimal scenario, as far as your lies are concerned, is that she was too hammered and doesn’t remember a thing from your conversation. But girls usually act a LOT drunker than they really are. . . because they can. . . and no one really cares.

If a guy acts more drunk than he really is he gets made fun of and called out on it. But everyone loves drunk chicks, so they play the part. Be aware.

So let’s say in the morning she asks you about what you’re going to do after your senior year, because she thinks you’re 21 but you’re 19. Here is what you say,

“Candice, I’m sorry but I have to be honest with you. When I first saw you at the bar last night, I knew that I had to talk to you. But when you told me how old you were I thought that I’d have no chance if you knew I was only 19. I’m sorry for lying but i just did it because I thought you were kinda special and I didn’t wanna lose you just because of my age, I’m sorry.”

That has gotten me out of quicksand.

Now be careful not to get too soft on her, or else she’ll get turned off immediately. So after the last “I’m sorry,” instantly turn the confident charm back on and, with a warm, inviting smile, say something like, “Plus I saw how attracted to me you were. I didn’t wanna deprive you because of something so petty as age.”

I think you’ll be surprised at how well this works, but use it like the red shell in Mariokart. It’s always good to have, you never want to waste it or overuse it haphazardly, and only fire away when you think that using it can really benefit you.

Usually what happens is that if you follow up your apology with a funny and confident comment, she’ll feel very flattered that a confident stud such as yourself, extended himself and put in that extra effort to win her affection.

OK so what if you get caught in a lie at the bar? Then what?

Here is a line I’ve used successfully,

“Jeez I was wondering when you were gonna catch on. Wow look up and you can see the gullible. There’s NO WAY all of that stuff could have happened to me. I don’t know if I can talk to you anymore after that display.”

Girls like to be picked on a bit as long as its in a good hearted and funny way. I mean shit, they get sick of getting their ass kissed all night and getting spoiled with attention. Half of them want to feel like real people.

So what's the point?

The point is that if the girl already means a lot to you, don’t lie. Relationships need honesty.

But some chick at a bar? Go for it. But if you think you might want to have a relationship with her, come clean and tell her why you lied.

And if you get caught. . . well first of all don’t go overboard with the lies. But if you do get caught, spin it around how I showed you to.

Those are just my thoughts.

And these are Just my Shirts,

Stud On,
