Are people lying?

Question

Ok...when you say someone who posts their pic is pretty.....are you just trying to be nice or do you actually mean it?

Answer 1

I actually mean it. I will not lie. If I do not think they are pretty I just will not answer the question or I might offer suggestions. But that is just me.

Answer 2

i think so, because i go to these "rate me" questions. and they are butt ugly and people give them 10s. and I'm like, ok, you couldn't possibly think that. lol

Answer 3

i never ie about that kind of stuff

if its not pretty

i'll just say something totally unrelated but nice

like, oh, nice top, or loving ur hair or something

but its true things

some ppl do lie though

jut to be nice

but then they talk behind ur back

its horrible

but most ppl don't do that

Answer 4

i say it with honesty

and if the answer is what they might not like, i bring to them in a way that's not going to hurt their feelings

i would say " you're not UGLY, not one bit, you're just not VERY attractive, and btw i really like your eyes "

I give something they can be happy about

Answer 5

majority of the times lying

Answer 6

im honest

Answer 7

I think since most of the people who post their pictures are young women, they are naturally pretty, and so when someone says that they're pretty, it's true. Points don't mean anything, really.

Answer 8

I call them exactly as I see them.

Answer 9

I usually will say they look nice even if I do not mean it because I do not wanna hurt their feelings... That is a great question....

Answer 10

I mean it. If I thought something bad/negative I wouldn't post anything.

Answer 11

i do i dont know bout others though

Answer 12

I am honest.  If a person looks bad because of what they wear or how they pose, it can be ugly.  Most people can't change their appearance, and I try not to judge them that way.

Answer 13

they must mean it because they woudlnt post if they thought otherwise because that would be mean

Answer 14

I tell the truth but I don't tell it bluntly.  I just mention their strengths, and then suggest ways to improve 'other areas'.

People who ask for 'the truth' do not necessarily want the actual truth, rather, they want a 'flattering truth'.

I try to say something beneficial ... without lying!

Answer 15

LOL, if they're pretty i will say they are, if they're ugly i will honestly say they are ugly XD. Kinda crude but w/e.

Answer 16

I try to be truthful without crushing someone's feelings, I mean if someone asked that and they were truly ugly (not that this has ever happened) I wouldn't answer so I wouldn't hurt their feelings. Or I would simply find some nice feature about them or remind them that the outside doesn't count as much as the inside

Answer 17

both. i mean, people on yahoo are so sensitive, you can't even speak your mind the way you want to. and not just in this section. it's other sections too. if you speak your mind, and the asker or other answerers don't like it, they're going to report you. and i've already been flagged and deactivated, so i'm not tryin to have that happen again. i worked too hard to get where i am now. i'm less than 300 points away from getting to level 5, and no one's going to ruin that for me!

Answer 18

they do think ur pretty because if they didnt they wont post any comments

Answer 19

I actually mean it...if they dont look good, i will tell them.

Answer 20

no i dont mean it

just trying not to hurt peoples feeling

;]

Answer 21

i mean what i say and your cute
