Writing this as a somewhat experienced man; anyone stupid enough to tell nothing but the truth to any female needs to have his head examined; after the townsfolk get through mocking his ridiculous innocence.

Never be honest and truthful with a woman. They're dishonest, untrustworthy, and completely ungrateful. You have to play them like they're special, and like their "feelings" matter, but never lose sight of the fact that they're deceitful and manipulative. You have to be that way towards them as well. Why bother you may ask? Well, because they make for the best fuck toys, and sandwich makers around.

anything you say or do will be used against you......

Our entire technological civilization is built on polite, warmfuzzy lies.
Especially here.
You can tell the truth, as long as it is properly structured.
The plain and honest truth is like poetry, and just like in the movie 'The Big Short', everybody f**king hates poetry.

At least you recognize what you did wrong. See, you and those like you (me) have been shit upon so long we sometimes feel we are one of these groups that's allowed to speak out. You are male, if you are white, well it's all your fault so just keep working....save your money...funny I know, some dimwit is already dreaming up a new tax and a new program to spend it that excludes you on every level.
