Why do men put so much emphasis on honesty from women, but?

Question

they lie just as much. I have read many reviews of dating service users and the men seem to be fed up with women lying about their weight. Whereas I can understand this and being considered slim myself, I have never done this, and a person has a right to expect honesty. However, I have found that a large percentage of men exagerate their imcome. I can understand not stated your income, or understating it to avoid golddiggers, but why do you guys say that you make 75k and 100k and stand in front of a house or car that isn't yours? I am not particularly happy to meet a guy who puts all this in his profile and turns out to be a pauper or ultra cheap. This is lying every bit as much as the women do. It is no worse for a woman to expect a man to be honest if he says he makes a certain amount of money than it is for a man to expect a woman too look a certain way.

i agree with you. liers are the wworst. you shouold be 100% honest no matter what.

personaly i'm single, 32 and unemployed following a botched operation on my spine. I spend 99% of my time laying down on my bed (not asleep but it is the only way to get any relief from my backpain as no pills work.
Not that you or the world need to know that. but if i were to be that honest in a dating profile and trust me i have been i have had absolutely no response. in my opinion rightly so.
it seems that most though not all women want a guy with a good job and has at least enough money to go out and shower her with gifts etc. Whereas all I have to offer is my undying devotion, loyalty, honesty and love. not much is it.
so i see why people lie in profiles if they were to tell the truth they would not get a single date in some situations.

personaly I have never lied about my income or property status. may be this is one of the reasons i'm still single.
and from the way this question is worded it does sound like the asker is materialistic to be blunt.

could it be the guys she has dated have been testing her to see how she responds to them as cheap or a pauper as she put it. if she dumps them for being cheap then the guys may be millionares pretending to be cheap to weed out the gold diggers, it has been known to happen. so is she doing herself out of the man of her dreams by falling in to the trap of material possessions and money.

A guy wants a woman to be with him be he a millionaire or a pauper. most millionaires are only one or two bad deals on the stock market from being paupers. he wants to know if he is rich that should the worst happen the wife is not a gold digger and with him just for the money.


be honest here would you be happy to date a guy like me for example. (and before you ask i'm not angling for a date just an honest response should you the asker care to respond).

Answer 2

I don't think it's the same men doing the complaining. I wouldn't lie, and I wouldn't appreciate anyone lying to me. If I was ashamed of something that was to be in a profile, I'd just leave it blank. That is yet another reason why I do not use online dating services. Good luck!
