Honesty with him... Whaddaya Nuts?

Honesty in Relationships... Whaddaya Nuts?

There is a disturbing belief in this country that honesty is critical in relationships, like marriage for instance. This is a doomed concept. Honesty belongs in business transactions, not in relationships. Honesty may be aesthetically pleasing but it will eventually fail.

All questions have honest responses and correct responses. Men have to learn that the honest response will not get them sex, but the correct response could get them sex. Women need to learn that the honest response could get them sex, but the correct response could get them shopping money.

For instance, when a woman makes a new dish for dinner and it tastes like buffalo chips, his honest response is, "Dear, this tastes like buffalo poop." This response will hurt the woman and the man will not get sex.

The correct response is, "Well, I can tell you put alot of effort into this Sweetie. But, I hate to see you work so hard in the kitchen. Next time you get the urge to try something new tell me and I take us to a restaurant that we haven't been to before." This response will get an affectionate response and may even get the man sex.

See the difference ? Okay, let's try another one. A man notices that his wifes' dress is too tight and reveals extra poundage. The honest response is, " Whoa, baby, you got more rolls than a bakery! Did you use WD-40 to help you slide that big butt into that dress ?" This response, although honest, will not get the man sex. It may even prevent it for up to four weeks.

The correct response is, " Honey, I love the way your body moves under that dress. Matter of fact, I love it too much, if you wear that with me to the party I'll be too worked up to talk to my friends. Darling, here's the credit card, go to Macy's and find something less distracting." This response will definately put the wife in a receptive mood. A prime example of how well the correct response can work.

Now, lets try one for the women.
A man comes home way too late from work. He didn't call and he's obviously been drinking.
The honest response is, " You son of a mongrel dog! Where in the hell have you been ? Do you know I've called every emergency room in the county !!!! Why didn't you call ? " This honest response is very common for this type of situation, but not wise. Anger excites men, especially one's that are half in the bag already. A woman in this situation could end up having endless sex with a man who has had what I call the 'Cain Cocktail'. That's that turning point drink when he still thinks he Cain, but he's just not Abel....

The correct response is, "Darling, I hope you were having a good time. Let me help you undress. Let me pour you another drink so you can get to sleep quickly, you must be exhausted. Honey, I don't want to wake you in the morning so let me have your wallet now. I need the credit card to find you something to give your mother for her birthday." A perfect example of how the correct response can get a woman some shopping money.

Remember that honesty is only for people who are walking out on their jobs. Other than that, it has no place in the real world and certainly not in something as fragile as marriage.
