Weeding out the Liars

[PacificBlue]

How did you develop your ability to weed out the liars in your life? I swear some people just have a knack of cutting through the bullshit.

[Angel]

I let Siren have a go at them.

 

[Dillinger]

I prefer just to whack off.

I have to make eye contact....and use my intuition. But if I have been intimate then the tone of voice over the phone and putting two and two together works really well

Experience, observation, learning from one's mistakes and remembering the adage "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

It's very easy. Just consider everyone to be a liar.

When you find out someone told you the truth, then they aren't a liar.

The eyes PB.. truly a window into a person's soul.. as trite as it sounds. The eyes have it!

Nora makes all the important decisions for me.

 

[teresafannin]

It has taken years of experiences, not all of them good, but I have a fairly good intuition about people.

There is no sure fire way. I have been around for forty some-odd years and have yet to be able to detect a real good liar, until they are proven to be so. Been burned enough times that my wife wonders why I haven't given up on most people. I guess I am a sucker for wanting to believe in people. Can't change my nature, so I guess I will have to just live with it. BTW, I a sucker for wanting to believe, I am not stupid. (there is a difference)

........that Bob needs a blow-job...what do you all think?

 

[JazzManJim]

I assume everyone's lying to me until time proves otherwise.

Cynicism or realism? I'm the same way JMJ.

I appreciate the concern

There are others that are far more in need than I am.

 

[enjoyingitall]

I accept what people say at face value, often with unanswered questions though. Then my task becomes searching out the answers to those questions. More often than not, I find the truth.

 

[OT]

go slow.
feel the vibrations.

[KillerMuffin]

Get cynical.

OooOOooOOooo!


I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like,
Makin' good conversation
I gotta handle you just right,
You know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant,
Then to a suggestive movie
There's nothin' left to talk about,
Unless it's sarcastically

Let's get cynical, cynical,
I wanna get cynical, let's get into cynical
Let me hear your sarcastic talk,
Your sarcastic talk, let me hear your sarcastic talk



Okay, okay, pathetic, yes, but I look really bad in leg warmers and crimped blonde hair.

I became a better liar....
Once I was the master I came to recognizse easier who was second best

I think you are framing the question wrong..it not a process of weeding out the liars...its making sure you appreciate and love those you find in your in life who are true...the rest are just fodder for the rare flowering friends you find..

Well said Sufisaint....thinking like the glass is half full as opposed to the glass is half empty.....

 

[KillerMuffin]

I tell ya'll something for free, and this is me being serious, too.

People don't want the truth. You can't weed out the liars because the sparse, glaring truth hurts. A lot. People want a comfortable amount of honesty. Enough to be true, but not enough to hurt.

Why can't you weed out the liars? Probably because you can't recognize the difference between what you hear and what you want to hear. It sounds, well, wildly insulting, but this is the truth of it.

If you know what you want to hear, what makes reality comfortable for you, then you'll be able to figure out truth from lies. People can lie to you more easily when you lie to yourself.


This has been yet another sanctimonious lecture from KillerMuffin, professor at blather. Feel free to ignore as usual.
