Women want men to be honest? Oh, please. Women are far smarter than that, mostly. They want a Mark who is ambitious and desperate enough that he will work hard concocting pretty lies instead of some stupid, lazy boor (like me…) who will tell a women what she already knows to be true. Useless and no fun. What’s more, then, at their convenience and often after they’re married, a woman will catch a guy out on his lie(s) and work his confusion, guilt, fear and humiliation like mad for their own ends and purposes. They don’t call it “The Tender Trap” for nothin’.
