Is it possible that a man can get more honesty out of a woman who is more "ill-tempered" than one who is more "socially-adept"? I'm somehow drawn to women who have that kind of personality. Just a curious question, that's all.

A woman who is more socially adept is likely to be better at lying and more likely to, in my opinion. (True also of guys...being social makes you good at clouding the truth)

Oh one thing I didn't make quite clear is that I'm drawn more to the "ill-tempered" ones. :)

I think I would have to agree on this one.

W T F !

thats true but socially adept people can chose weather to be honest or not (although i think most chose not)
ill tempred people just dont care what you think

i like pleasant people who are quick, fun and honest!

That's true about the social people, but I don't think it's necessarily true that ill-tempered people always don't care what you think...

me too.. I don't think you are more honest just because you might be a little hot head!

I am social, and I am truthful. Of course I am not cruel in my honesty, which probably makes a big difference. Cruelty is in my opinion done expecting to be able to control a situation or another persons emotions.

I'm going to have to disagree. I don't think a person's temperment is a good indicator as to how honest they are. Someone who is ill-tempered may say what's on their mind but they could also end up saying things they don't actually mean because they're fired up. That's not exactly lying or being dishonest but it can be just as hurtful. Plus, a little *****iness every now and then is ok but 24/7? No thank you.

Yeah, I agree with your disagreeance bubbles.

I dunno about everyone else, but I'm both socially adept and honest. If I have to be brutally honest with someone (because for the ever lovin' freakin' life of me I can't tell a flippin' lie to someone just to make them feel better about themselves or to avoid the sometimes difficult nature of honesty) I do so with a kind and gentle demeanor. It is so very rare for me to ever fly off the handle.

Uhhh, I'm not perfect though. I did lose it a few months ago. I was trying to get my boyfriend at the time to stop a particular behavior, pure laziness, and he told me he didn't know what I was talking about regarding the laziness (he was financially set and didn't have to work)-- even though he'd had hundreds and hundreds of dollars of materials laying around his house to refurbish it, and day after day went by and he did nothing, even though I told him I would happily help and coaxed him along each morning with a plan for the day...which he agreed to each and every *bleepin* morning (good grief... what was I thinking?) -- I picked up a can of Lysol and threw it at him. I beaned him square in the nose. Lol, I can fire a baseball usually with precision. Omg, he didn't even flinch. Uhhh, I'm no longer with the guy.

I was completely and totatlly horrified with myself for my behavior. Mortified. Even nicer than nice people have their breaking point I found out. Such a cute house, and all it needed was some work.

And apparently I cannot only not tell a lie, but I can't keep something unpleasant about myself under wraps either...woe is me.
