Why women don’t want to hear the truth

Woman: What’re you thinking about? / What do you think about…. (insert inane object here)

Man (squeamish and scared): Nothing, nothing

Clichés and political correctness aside. This is fact. You’re treading on thin ice when you tell a woman the truth about anything i.e. from her choice of clothing to what you’re thinking about. Nothing good can come of it.

Since the beginning of time, the first dim spark of cognitive function and the invention on the word why. Women have considered themselves seekers of the truth. “I really want you to be honest with me” or “The only quality I’m looking for in a man is honesty”. Lies…

Women don’t really want to hear the truth, they, like most human beings, want to hear a version of the truth they’re expecting. (I know, I said it, and it still doesn’t make sense.)

So by that logic;

When she asks you (a man)“Do you think I’ll ever find a man” she means someone other than you and expects your answer to be something like “Sure you will, women like you don’t stay single very long”. Or she asks “I totally snubbed that gross looking guy, I did the right thing right?” The answer she wants is “Totally! he had it coming”

Which brings us to:

Reasons why women don’t want to hear the truth

  • It’s not what they were expecting.
  • You are not relevant enough to tell them things like the truth.
  • It wasn’t in Sex and the City 1/2, so obviously, it’s a lie.
  • It hasn’t been endorsed by everyone (girlfriends, cosmo & sai baba) and become popular opinion.
  • Expecting it from someone better looking or with more money
  • It takes all the fun out of playing mind games (and what’s the point of living, if we can’t play mind games eh?)
  • It has nothing to do with how they feel about issues their friends are having.
  • It’s just plain inconvenient and requires effort to accept.

So why then are they this bent on extracting the honest to goodness truth from you. Well, it’s a mix of guilt, denial and the illusion of control that drives them.

Solution: Lie. With time and practice you’ll get better at it.
And just like what Oscar once said about the truth, women too, are rarely pure and never simple.

  3. To be honest, a woman who can’t accept the truth is usually a very insecure one and there’s not many of us that aren’t insecure – it’s in our nature, so the only option is to deny, or shift the focus onto a men – as swapna has pathetically tried to do. Tut-tut! 😉
