I Never Trust A Man That...

[Colleen27]

Never trust a jealous man, he's either too insecure for a mature relationship or untrustworthy himself. That's a biggie for me since two of my closest lifelong friends are men; many guys I dated had issues with that and that was a deal-breaker.

And never trust anyone, man or woman, that your dog doesn't trust. Animals are good judges of character and mine have never steered me wrong.

Never date a man I dated before DH (that encompasses many decades). They all cheated.

DH is not a cheater. Poor thing has to deal with my past. I did make a big effort to pick a decent man this time.

Thanks ladies....you have informed me on how to "appear" more trustworthy.

The problem with that is that some cultures (for example, some First Nations tribes) believe that looking someone in the eye is rude and so they avoid making eye contact, even though they may be perfectly trustworthy.

Exactly. I was about to say the same thing. It could be because of a persons culture. Honestly thou, quite often i wouldnt look someone dead in the eye while talking to them. It doesnt mean im not trust worthy. If they think that about me then clearly they dont know me very well and are making an inaccurate assumption. Plus, it doesnt take much for a liar and a creep to look you right in the eye. I know a few people like that!!!! If your going to judge someone based on their ability to look you in the eye, then thats just sad.

Never trust a man who thinks he is right ALL the time!!! No one can be right all the time.

I think it shows he has a HUGE ego...and that leads to many of the already mentioned.

ITA! I refuse to deal with men like this now. Beyond frustrating.

Thanks ladies....you have informed me on how to "appear" more trustworthy.

I think on the inside these people have low self esteem. They may put on a good show but if they really felt so good about themselves they would know that they deserve a partner all to themselves. Not another person's mate.

Exactly. They may put up a good front, but deep down I believe that they are insecure.

Thanks ladies....you have informed me on how to "appear" more trustworthy.

Never trust Billdob62!

Look, I can't help it if I was blessed with the ability to always be right. It's a curse, really! I've tried to stop it and at one point I was wrong. It was that time that I thought I was wrong, but I was right! Just can't shake a gift.

If nothing else is coming to the surface from both of these opposing threads. Never Trust a Man/Woman, it's that both sides have absolutely no understanding about how each other thinks or why.

Never trust a man who still lives in his moms basement dosen't have his own car.

I don't trust anyone, man or woman, that doesn't like coffee. But as far as dating went in my younger years, if my pet doesn't like you, hit the road. Cats and dogs are usually a good judge of character. If a date couldn't get along with my giant fat lazy kitty, he was off the list. That cat was so easy to make friends with it just took a second of effort.

Why does not liking coffee make you untrustworthy? I hate the stuff. As for sunglasses inside there are several conditions that cause people to have to wear them inside.

...and neither side really wants to be bothered to figure it out, either. They just want to keep parroting clichés back and forth.

It's just like Brave New World... repeat a lie long enough and you begin to believe it. Every statement of "Men are such pigs!" and "Women are so shallow!" are really just people telling themselves, "Betas are the best! I'm so glad I'm a Beta!" like they've been conditioned to.

FWIW, my DH told me he loved me the night he asked me out. I said it back We had been friends for only about a month at that point, I had just broken up (literally, the day before) with his best friend. He asked me out, I said yes, and the rest is history...

That was almost 19 years ago...summer (age 15). Ahhh..young love!

For me - never trust a man who spends more time in front of the mirror than I do. And I only take about 5 minutes. High maintenance men are creepy to me. And, I believe, narcissistic.

And never trust a man who doesn't treat his family well..

You actually believed that too I take it? And what were you thinking to say that so soon? Frankly I see that as being rather ridiculous and I don't believe it but whatever works for you, more power to you.

~~ I love you Phil and you will forever be with me! Forever my very best and most special friend! I love you to no end. ~~​

Bahahahaaaa.

To all of those taking this so seriously, please, relax, have fun. Are people really taking these (men and women) to heart? It sounds to me like most people are just sharing their own experience here.

There's not going to be a test or anything is there?

never trust a man who is disrespectful to his mother
