"I&amp;amp;#8217;m not one of those girls who wants to hear the ugly truth about&amp;amp;#133;well&amp;amp;#133;anything really. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t need to know how many calories are in that cupcake, how many girls he&amp;amp;#8217;s really slept with or where my pet guinea pigs actually went instead of &amp;amp;#8220;Aunt Carly&amp;amp;#8217;s farm&amp;amp;#8221; when I was 11. But men don&amp;amp;#8217;t seem to understand this. Too often they give a heinously honest answer to questions that CLEARLY don&amp;amp;#8217;t need it. It&amp;amp;#8217;s not technically their fault; women communicate to build relationships, and men communicate to solve problems. Unfortunately, sensitivity is often a casualty of that problem-solving urge. For example, the other day I asked the guy I&amp;amp;#8217;m dating if I should get breast implants. Now ladies, we all know that the answer should go something like, &amp;amp;#8220;Oh baby of course not! You&amp;amp;#8217;re perfect just the way you are&amp;amp;#8221; instead of his response, which was: &amp;amp;#8220;Well sure, I mean why not? The bigger the better, ya know?&amp;amp;#8221; Can&amp;amp;#8217;t say that I do! But what I DO know for sure is that you will never grab them again, the door is thattaway. Single-ish blogger Erin ponders the issue of blind dates and honesty! Although I suppose that total honesty is a cornerstone of a good relationship, right? Ben Affleck seems to think so. His wife Jen Garner tells reporters that her hubby will be oh-so-forthright when it comes to her appearance. &amp;amp;#8220;[He&amp;amp;#8217;ll say] you&amp;amp;#8217;re not ready for those jeans yet, trade &amp;amp;#8216;em out!&amp;amp;#8221; Yeah, wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t fly with me. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t care if I&amp;amp;#8217;ve split the seat and am muffin topping like crazy, all I want to hear is &amp;amp;#8220;Daaamn baby you look so foxy!&amp;amp;#8221; OK maybe not those exact words but you get the idea. What about you&amp;amp;#8212;do you appreciate the whole truth and nothing but? Or are white lies necessary and awesome?
