Nobody wants to lie, sometimes its just pathological, and it's just hard to judge character, I know.
But yes, check out the traits that you're attracted to. Sometimes a honest man and what you're attracted to just aren't the same things. Best of luck.

I think they mean what they say when they say it ... well, most of them. They genuinely believe themselves. It's just that quite a few of them don't have a problem with later feeling and saying something that seems to be quite different : (
but hey, look, you are at most 25, and i don't know how many men you've had serious relationships with, but there can't be that many. you haven't sampled enough of the group yet to be able to generalise! ; )
if it's any comfort, i got to the age of 39 with only meeting one lying man, when i was 17. unfortunately i have just been in a relationship with another one, but that's another story!! my answer: no, i think most of them are fine and trustworthy, but they do think a bit differently to us. but there is a significant minority of men who kind of fall into lying and then get stuck with it - those are the ones you really don't want to hook up with ... i reckon anyone who promises you the earth quite quickly and is full of the most amazing compliments you've ever heard is PROBABLY getting carried away with his own rhetoric and will lost interest after the first flush and start, well, lying.
