Women lie about their looks every single day of their lives:

i.e. - makeup, padded bras, push up bras, butt lifting jeans, Spanx

and then when a man says he is 5'7'' instead of his height of 5'6'' or 6' instead of real height of 5'11'' etc. etc. they accuse the man of deceit!!! Double standard?

(and for the record I am 5'11'' - no embellishment)

I don't care if they lie, as long as they're honest about it.

HAHA - the thread was supposed to spark debate about how men really do not lie all that much in their appearance by just walking out of the house whereas women have a range of creative devices at their disposal. For men, I think of dying their hair or putting lifts in their shoes, am I missing others...ladies?

a lot of men stuff a little something in the underwear when going out to bars.
a rolled up sock behind the goods to push things to the front a little more.
no, not just gay guys, i know straight guys who do the same thing...
ok, granted, they got the idea from me..

There is a great scene about this in the wonderful movie "I'm Gonna' Get You Sucka'"

Check it out, and no, I am not gonna make a link. Way too lazy!

I tried the rolled up sock down the pants, it never worked. I wish some one would have told me it goes in the front not the back.

Some of them get away with murder that way. I once saw Danica Patrick do an ill-advised impromptu interview, ugh! We are talking Man-face.

Yet she is getting rich showing off her body and even her made-up, air-brushed face.
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!”   She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

I honestly think that you could make a fair comparison between the rituals that women go through and the rituals that men go through.
I mean, a woman will take the time to put makeup on her face. A man will take the time to either shave or trim his beard/mustache.
Women use perfume, men use deodorant and cologne.
Women man use padded bras, push-up bras, butt-lifting jeans, etc, but men are also going to pick clothes that make them look better. If you have a beer belly, you might wear a shirt a little looser so that it's not so obvious, etc.
Women spend time on their hair, so do men.

It's true that women, on average, spend more time on their appearance, and probably have more options available to them, but I think it's fair to say that both men and women spend time on their appearance, to present a facade that may not be complete truth.

But, as I say in regards to online dating, don't lie about your appearance, lie about your interests.

And if that doesn't work, you tell em about the roll of hundreds you keep in the toe of it.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

My neighbor was telling me about a black guy he used to work with, a real player.

The guy was always talking about his d*ck.

My buddy said he wasn't having much luck with the ladies.

The guy looked at my friend's pants, at the crotch, and said "Man, you've got no print."

Never heard "print" before.

Ah, euphemisms ...
"What, me worry?"
