How to Tell if Your Guy is Lying

Anyone else who likes to read those short articles on msn.com or yahoo.com that dispense relationship wisdom or advice?  Offering tantalizingly bite-sized tips from the editors of any number of magazines such as Cosmopolitan, something called hitchedmag.com or Men’s Journal?

I admit it.  I do.

And here’s an example why, with the title of How to Tell if Your Guy is Lying.  (Come on.  You want to know.)

Behavior you Should Avoid, People..

I can think of some more potent editorial revisions, though.  (We need specifics, right??)

Fidgeting:  instead of ‘leg movements’ how about “leg movements where his legs are taking him the opposite direction from where you are sitting/standing”?

Gesturing: adding that preposition “of” would work well– “wringing of hands”.  Biblical + Dramatic = Clearly Lying.

Abnormal Eye Contact: something more dramatically descriptive, maybe… “rapid eye gyrations or bulging,” perhaps?  That would be a heck of a sign of something at any rate…

Cleaning up his surroundings:  how about an example?  “Sudden urge to clean up litter from nearby highways” might work.

Wiping Sweat: alright, shouldn’t we be told whose sweat is being wiped??

The dissembling game is over, friends.
