How can we be good liars? What are the things one must keep in mind to be a successful liar?
Re: Let's lie
u gotta act like u really believe it. look the other person in the eye (not right /left)
Re: Let's lie
You know somebody called me yesterday while I was sleeping. She said, "You're sleeping...". I said, "No". She said, "You are.." I'm such a loser. Damn it! Can't even lie on phone. Need practice!
Re: Let's lie
Anyway, llike shweetipatootie said, the trick is to make yourself believe it 100% ofr as long as you're telling the lie.
Re: Let’s lie

Re: Let's lie
Whispers to himself: 'I'm the best....I'm the best....I'm the best........' Tries to believe that.

*vertigo : forget abt lying.....tell me how can u talk on phone if u were sleeping?:p *
My cell phone rang.... It woke me up. Trust me I'm not lying.
Re: Let's lie
^^ well then u arent lying.... u were awake.....just dont tell them how long u been awake ;)
like when i was young (i still am young :)...but even younger) my granny asked me if i washed my hands before food and i promised yes i did...(mental note: i DID wash my hands in the morning/last night/two weeks ago...she just asked me if i did ....not WHEN i did)
that is not a lie.
Re: Let's lie
Right! I always thought truth was absolute. Now I understand truth is relative. Yes! But again, if we belive something to be true, we're not lying.... How can I make myself believe that I'm the best, and that by considering myself the best I'm not being megalomaniac...
Re: Let's lie
i'll let hiccup answer this one.:p
Re: Let's lie
The correct answer is "Now I am awake. And since you have interrupted my sleep anyway, so may as well, tell me why you called".
Re: Let's lie
Faisel is right, it's wrong to lie. Especially over something that doesn't really merit an unhonest response. Lying about the price of you new Jimmy Choo's is ok, everything else is wrong.
Re: Let's lie
Shweets is right. Remember, it is not a lie, if you believe in it. You can beat the polygraph with that technique after a few tries.
Re: Let's lie
^ yeah you should know. You had most guppies conned with your very first posting, posing as some fob hitting on a madrun larki at work, but you didnt have me for a second!lol
Re: Let's lie
I am a lousy liar...Fortunately or unfortunately...
Re: Let's lie
Man I hate this polygraph thing. They can ask you stupid questions.... So embarrassing! But you can always confront them, 'Hey your machine lies, I don't lie...'
Re: Let's lie
Are you being a lousy liar by lying that you're a lousy liar? It's getting more confusing.
Re: Let's lie
While I absolutely encourage all of you to live up to highest standards of honesty and integrity at all times, there are a few things I'd want to share about lying. The real question is not how you lie but what you lie about.
Please don't lie about things that someone can cross-check in five minutes from someone else. It insults the intelligence and resourcefulness of your listener. And most importantly, please don't lie about things that are not worth lying about (like the example above, whether you are asleep or awake. Who the fudge cares?) And if it is something really really important, than re-think why are you lying about it in the first place, and how much effort you'll have to put in to keep the lie alive; and for how long. Most likely the answer would be "its not worth it".
Lastly, before lying, please make sure you have the "I was too drunk/sleepy" excuse ready, should the lie blow up in your face. It will. Sooner or later.
