Girls: compulsive liars but full of good intentions

Being a girl, I realized one thing: girls love to protect each others feelings. How? By lying, of course. When you'll ask one of your friends how you look in a certain outfit, she'll almost automatically say that you look great. Of course, there are some exceptions to the rule, but those friends are not the ones you are gonna go to when you need to hear what you want to hear.

I used to be the exception, saying bluntly what I was thinking. I usually ended up in deep shit after that. The "worst" thing I said was to my high school best friend. She had asked me why I kept putting down her boyfriend or something like that. Told her the truth: "I don't like your boyfriend." Well, took her 2 weeks to start talking to me again. If your first reaction wasn't "OMG! How could you tell her that?" and that you are a girl, you maybe already did something similar. Do I feel bad about saying that 3 years later? Nope. Why? I told her the truth. I tried to apologize the next day, she refused to listen.

'Course, that was 3 years ago and now, I tend to keep my mouth shout about what I think about others... at least when they are in front of me. Talking in the back of people is something we are also very good at.

When a girl tells me she's incapable to lie, I do the following test: I wear something horrific and ask her what she thinks. If she says she likes it, or she has a total lack of taste fashion wise and probably needs to appear on "What not to Wear" or she's lying. Hence why a compliment from a girl to a girl isn't worth much. On the other end, if a guy dresses badly, a girl will happily tell him.

'Course, you can always tell if a girl is sparing your feelings or if she's really giving you a compliment. Depends of the word she's choosing. For example, f she says your outfit is "original" without any other compliment, run like the wind and change. BUT, a "Wow! How original!" is good. In fact, "Wow!" is hard to fake because when you think something is really nice, it's the first sound you'll probably let out. Anyway, now I'm getting myself away from the subjects.

Now, some girls are really good to hide their emotions if they don't want anyone to guess how they are feeling. Even easier in SL since no one sees your facial expression nor hears your voice. I'm especially good at that. When I want somebody to know how I feel, I'll say it, otherwise I fake a smile and move on. 'Course, that usually mean that you'll have to hear your friends talk about stuff that you are not in the mood to hear, but can't say it 'cause it will blow up your cover.

'Course, lying is not a good thing, but girls don't do for the wrong reason. They do it to protect their friends feelings and their own if it is necessary to do so. Even if we don't want to lie, we are sometime afraid of the possible consequences. And we usually end up telling the truth to someone... especially if it's to criticize someone else's look.

This post made no sense but I don't care. Spent the day reading Plato's Republic.

Now my fav song of the moment:
