Lies routinely believed

I'm different than the rest.

This lie is told time and time again when dating someone. No matter what, it's believed.  If a guy tells a girl (or a guy...) he's different than her cheating, no-good, lying ex-boyfriend, she's going to believe him.  This particular lie is way too believable.  Yes, everyone is different and we're raised to see the unique beauty in each other, but let's be honest.  I'm all about honesty.  I'm no different than any other man.  I have the same desires, the same motives and the same lust as every other guy.  I am also very straight-forward.  I'm going to tell it like it is; I'm going to tell you what's on my mind without hindering it or sugar-coating it.  So, I guess that makes me different. (See what I did there?)

I won't cheat again.

Really? Who's to say that you won't do it again.  The one phrase my parents always said to me--and I can't believe I'm actually typing this--was: "You can only judge a race horse by how it has run in the past."  Once a cheater, that's it.  Why would I ever believe that you were sorry that you cheated? If you were sorry, you would have thought about the consequences before you decided to cheat: plain and simple. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
