Liar Liar Pants on Fire....to the extreme

When Mrs. Howsmon announced to us that we had to write a blog for our term assignment, I immediately knew that I wanted to write about the etiquette of manhood. I want everyone to know that I am not an expert about The Bro Code, but I do have an understanding of what is right and wrong. If there is something you disagree with, simply comment your opinion. I will happily read your response.

I want to start my blog with a post about the mistake I have noticed guys make the most. Guys make this mistake on purpose all the time, even when they know it is wrong. The mistake that I am referring to is lying to your bros. Lying to your guy-friends will get you killed. Well not literally, but lying to your wolf pack is completely useless. Guys know when a friend is lying. Seriously, there isn’t any harm in sharing the truth. Guys are not going to spread rumors about how you missed the game winning shot by a mile during your last soccer game. We will probably laugh about it and then tell you that things will only get better. But if you lie about how you dribbled through all of your opponents and then easily hammered the ball 150mph towards the top corner of the goal frame and then missed by an inch...I promise you, that lie will spread around faster than the black plague.

Everyone has lied at some point in their life. Lying once in a while helps us mature. Lying in some situations is okay, trust me.

Examples:

·  Your friend gets into trouble and you’re lying to help him get out of trouble is acceptable.

·  A girl questions you about her appearance and you lie to make her feel beautiful is acceptable.

·  Your girlfriend wants you to go shopping with her, but you decide to lie in order to continue watching the game with your homies is acceptable. (lol, joking hehe)

Lying gets really out of hand for guys when it becomes an addiction. These guys will lie during any scenario: hanging out in the parking, chilling at a party, working on class work, eating lunch, etc. They always have a story, and the story is always something beyond any human could possibly perform. Lying to the extremes is an easy way of losing your friends and becoming lonely. So if you don't want to be lonely, follow "The Bro Code". If you find yourself lying very often to grab the attention of the group of friends you hang out with, stop immediately. You don't need to come up with stories in order to be popular among your friends. Simply act, talk, and interact like everyone else. Get rid of the stories and talk about what you do. Describe yourself as accurately as can, and don't make up bogus facts, especially when you're with your bros.
