Are Relationships Based On Lies?

Relationships do not come easy, they take work and most of the time they take dealing with a ton of bullshit. Now a days, people don't just jump into relationships. They play more of the wait and see game. People want to see where it can go and they really get to know a person before they get into a relationship anymore. That's a good thing. But do guys and girls manipulate this system? Are today's relationships based on lies?

Well let's see. There will always come that point before the relationship becomes official where the two of you "share the roster". The roster is the number of people you have slept with. Girls always want to know the roster. They want to know who, what, when, where and why about every girl who is on your roster. Guys on the other hand, want nothing to do with the roster share mainly because we feel as though we will think differently of you if your number is too high. Sorry ladies, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Girls have the tendency to also think differently of guys if the number is too high. This is the reason that almost every guy will lie about his number. I've done it, my friends have done it, and basically every guy on the planet has done it. If a guy says that his number is 3, he's lying. He says 3 because it's way more than 3, but 3 makes him sound like he knows what he's doing, but he doesn't sleep around with every girl he meets. That's a lie. The number 3 is not his number.

Women tend to use the number 2. Usually they'll say, "Well the first one was my boyfriend who I was with for like ever and then some other guy my freshman year of college. But I was really really drunk so I don't even count it." Obviously this is a lie. The number is more than 2, we know it, we just don't say anything because we really don't want to know your number. Girls just know that if their number is over 2, a guy won't trust them and therefore won't date them. Women are smarter than they appear.

Now that you know that your boyfriend or girlfriend gave you a bogus roster, it'll probably make you think a little bit. Both of you will obviously deny till you die about lying, but deep down you both know the truth. If you've been going out for a while though, it really shouldn't matter. If you've just started going out, then it probably matters a little bit. The more important thing here is this question: Is your relationship based on a lie?
