How honest is too honest. It seems like females are always talking about honesty & how they want an honest man, but get upset when u tell them the truth. It might not b something they want to hear, but it is what it is; the truth. So wut is it? Its a cold world. Do females want the realness, or do the just want the old fairy tale type s#!t. Maybe they want to b lied to every once & a while. U know how they say "ignorance is bliss"

Sir, Thank you. I'm having a real problem with this subject as of right now. I've gotten some flack about how honest I am. A lot of woman don't believe me because they had there heart broke from someone else, so me being honest, I've heard some say, I'm a player, That I say some things just to get a woman in bed or sex. And guys like me shouldn't be trusted. First off, I'm not the one who broke there hearts, They don't know me, I've never ever lied to anyone here, not once. Yes beware what you say because telling the truth, woman don't want to hear the truth, they say they don't want drama. Yes they do. They couldn't live without the drama. I don't care anymore. I'm me. If no one likes me because I've told the truth then thats on them, not me. There the one's missing out on a guy that is true and honest and is will to put his whole heart into hers. So yes beware. Don't tell them anyhting. Just be yourself. If they can't see that. then there the one's with the problem not you.

you must remember that yes we do want honesty, but females are fragile! We can go from smiling to tears in two about 10 seconds...(takes a few secs to think about what was said)! Sometimes that truth hurts! Its still better to tell the truth!

to the two before me,,,,,,,,,,
honesty always,,but not too hurt someone,,,,
some of the younger gals want to be told only what they want to here,,
thats why i try not to be involved with them much...
mature women normally are much more realistic,,,

good luck to all

When someone says they want an honest partner, to me, it means that they want a naive, slightly retarded person who absolutely has no friends and no life and no baggage or character flaws to deal with to lay all of their cards on the table so they can make the best and most opportunistic decision they can about their future without the need to be honest themselves.

I mean, c'mon. If you are totally honest with someone and tell them every little transgression that you did, every little character flaw and mistakes you've made you're going to sound pretty unappealing even to the most forgiving of souls.

Technically it sounds like a bad thing but it can be a very wonderful if both partners are totally honest with each other and themselves.

I want to know only honest people, but I think that it depends on how long you have known someone, with regard to how much discretion and personal information you should impart to someone.

When you first meet someone, you don't owe them your entire life story (with all the negativities), and information imparted to someone else, is also dependent upon what information you get back from them.

If they tell you really nothing about themselves, you don't owe them any information about yourself either. And the way that the world is today, with all the lunatics around, it seems dangerous to tell a blind date or first date, anything about yourself at all.....

Having said that, I can relate to the desire to want complete honesty, but just think that common sense and intuition should dictate how "real" your budding relationship" appears to be.

I would not tell anyone anything about me, if I didn't trust them and if they didn't believe anything that I was saying anywa. This tells me that "they are most definitely not for me".

When I wrote my profile I put all the cards on the table. It caught me some bashing from others but I realize the ones who bashed me can't handle the truth from the guys. I sit back 90% of the time and read the threads. And you know, the ones that had something to say about me are bitter, they will never be happy. They sit and complain that they have no one to talk to, or they can't find a guy. Sorry I'm not a mean person. But stop bashing people who are true. These are peoples lives', Your not the only one here trying to find somebody to love, Somebody will love to meet me someday and maybe want to be with me. I'm not perfect. I never said I was to anyone. But I have my morale's and I resect them and that's me. I do have a great be heart to give to a woman who is willing to take that chance and get to know me. She will find out I am true. And she will be the lucky one to meet a guy who will treat her with all the respect in the world. So grow up and get a life. You won't find it here the way your going.

Too bad you live far far away, I'd steal your heart. I said I'd have to steal it, doesn't mean you'll give it to me, that why I'm stealing it.LOL

I think when people say they want honesty, that means they want to know if you are having sex with three other people, or if crack cocaine is your best friend. You know those kinds of things that would seriously affect a potential parner's ability to be in a relationship with them.

It does not mean that you have to tell them you wished their boobs were one size bigger, or that your last partner was way better in bed than you are.

Of course it is not a good idea to reveal every thought that goes through your head. If I did that, I probably wouldn't have one single friend, because sometimes my thoughts aren't nice. That does not mean I am dishonest if I don't reveal all those brief little thoughts that flutter in and out of my brain.

Honesty towards women will get you rejected and ridiculed.
Honesty at work will get you fired.
Honesty in politics will get you not elected.

This.

There's a proper way to tell the truth without hurting others feelings - it's called tact. It is an extremely difficult thing to master - I think I'll always be a Journeyman in that department. But I try very hard to be careful how I word things so as not to offend, or at least keep it to a minimum.

Whatever you do though, be honest. Lies always come back and bite you in the ass.

The truth is a very hard thing to tell, but it is a lot worse than a lie. The key is that we have to be more accepting to the truth, and handle other people's honesty without getting broke down. If a person can't handle the truth, then sooner or later down the road the only way that will make you happy will be lies and the things that you wanted to hear. JMO
