Honesty
I've always been a very honest person, but everyone lies about shit, plays certain games with members of the opposite sex. However, lately I've been compelled to be completely 100 percent honest about everything: exactly how I feel, why I feel that way, absolutely everything.
I know that this is a good thing but I worry that this approach could put me in some trouble, since most everybody lies about everything.
Thoughts?

People who lie about everything are weeeeaaaakkk. Just the fact people accept it like yeah everyone lies is just wrong. You're really asking if you should start being honest with yourself, the answer is already there.

I'm nearly always honest. I can remember probably all the things I lied about which in most cases were just marginal things. I never lied about anything bigger. For example sometimes it was irritating when my girlfriend tried to know too much and asked me do I find someone attractive and I said "yeah but I'm not looking for anyone because I've got you" she always got annoyed. It's stupid as some people expect you to tell them lies and if you tell the truth you are bad. So in cases like this I started lying for the sake of my relationship. I never lied about any bigger thing really. When I did something bad or I fucked up I always admitted that.
I fucking hate liars. My friends and girls know that I "demand" honesty.

I concur with others and that's how I do it.
However, recently I've thought about going on a little dishonesty experiment. I wouldn't lie to people I know but I'd lie about everything to people I meet. I don't know the significance behind doing this, but it dawned on me for some reason.

well first of all, no matter how honest you think you are, we all lie. every one of us. some do it more than others, in fact some people make a career out of it (Politicians, lawyers) while others just do it as a hobby, and it seems there are some people who are just not capable of telling the truth at all (i've known more than a few compulsive liars in my time). and we lie to ourselves all the time.
as far as a relationship goes, honesty is almost always the best policy. but as masta pointed out, there are some situations where people just don't want to hear the truth, and in those cases a lie is better. if your girl asks you "do i look fat in this" you wouldn't answer yes if she did right? not if you wanted to live and get sex you wouldn't lol. so you gotta balance out the truth with a couple lies every now and then to keep the relationship going. it doesn't sound right, i know, but just try being completely 100% honest about everything to your girl/boyfriend for a week and see what happens. chances are you will have a few problems lol. just don't lie about the major stuff and you should be good.

Freshman year I gave this bitch a fake name at the bar and ten minutes later she found out. First time I got in the drawers within four hours of "Nice to meet you." *shrug* I generally only lie to children, female relatives, and my friends' girlfriends tho.

I hold honesty as a principle of mine, and think of it as a virtue. Lies are meant to deceive, and no one likes a deceitful person.

I used to lie a lot in my relationship to not hurt her feelings. But then I grew up. Or i should say, we grew up. Now we tell each other everything. It brought us closer then ever before because we truly feel like we know the person, rather then think something is up. Therefore, we tell each other the truth no matter what.
I think some of it was inspired by a movie, The Notebook. This scene i got from google:
*Possible Spoiler if you haven't seen the movie.*********
"Look at us, we're already fighting.
Well, that's what we do.
We fight. You tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass. Which you are
99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. They have like a two second rebound rate and you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
So, what?
So it's not gonna be easy.
It's gonna be really hard. And we're gonna have to work
at this every day, but I want to do that, because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day."
