Big fat liar!!!!! (Page 2)

I disagree. If he's lying now, he'll lie later. You will wear yourself out trying to figure out what is true and what's not. No chance for him to explain - people that do **** like that have self esteem issues and don't feel like they have value on their own. If he doesn't value himself, he won't value you.

Lying about why I didn't pick up the dry cleaning or whatever is a lot different than lying about who you are, your motives or your relationship.

 Why waste your time?

Bill Richardson said he was drafted by a major league baseball team.

George O'Leary said he had a Master's degree.

It goes on.   I think its called teenie-weenie disease.

Me, I jump tall buildings in a single bound.

I thought a W rant was coming too. 

IF (big if) you've really written him off and are not going to talk to him anymore you should email him a link to this thread, just for the sport of it.

I would say NOPE based on this: "I can't even imagine 19 miles or a full marathon.  Not really in my psyche."

It's not really in my psyche to consort with untrustworthy people. I don't even know how to respond to this. I can't reason with someone who thinks it's reasonable to fabricate who he is.

I would not have been unimpressed if he had never run a marathon... but knowing that he blatantly lied about running a marathon leaves me very unimpressed. He now looks foolish to me.

*sigh* I'm ready for this thread to die. Where's Stupidnickname?

"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!" 

One can only assume "pantsonfire" found you to be such an interesting woman that he wanted to impress you in a big way.  Not that I condone lying, but hey, you are a rather attractive young lady!  Some guys have such a low opinion of themselves that they feel a need to lie about their exploits and accomplishments in order to conform to a woman's vision of a prospective mate ... whatever that is.  Anyways, your confronting this poor guy would only serve to lower his self esteem further.  What would that give you? 

yep.  The pacers aren't bad either 

Michel, I agree that confronting him is not the answer.

What is peculiar (to me) is that he has a stellar 'resume'; he is an accomplished and busy executive. He has real accomplishments that he could talk about if he wanted just to impress me. (He also told me he went to Emery U on a baseball scholarship but now I'm wondering if that was a fabrication, also). He's a bit of an elitist snob, something I've tried to overlook. If he has athletic accomplishments of which he is proud, good for him but it doesn't change my opinion of his character - and it's his character that I had hoped to admire. Anyway, I do understand that one can still suffer from low self-image or regard while still building an impressive (on the facade) life.

I think he is a weak and dishonest man (geez that looks harsh in print) and it saddens me to be confronted with this character flaw. However, I don't feel the need to be candid with him about my feelings. That would just be cruel - and what would that say about my character?

Two questions:

1)  WHY do you even care?

2) What's it like to be perfect? 

Edit: Not that I really care.

Is POF coming to Gasparilla?  Maybe you should invite him to run with us!  We could probably weasal a lot of erroneous information out of him in the course of 26 miles.  It might be rather entertaining!

Elegantly stated..... I was thinking the same....

cheers

Wow, Lara. YOU really are still CRAZY. Are you still a moderator on this board?

I don't think I need to explain being disappointed when I discover I've been deceived. Getting to know someone is how we learn to trust them (or not). Discovering that someone is untrustworthy always disappoints me, and is a clear indication that they do not belong in my life. I don't understand why being trustworthy is difficult for some people but I also don't understand weak people.

Perfect? Please, don't be snotty. Trustworthy? Totally.

How about you? Either of you - would you call yourselves TRUSTWORTHY?
