8 Words Liars use!


8 Words That Most Liars Use from cosmopolitan.com

 

Odds are, you and your guy have a great relationship, and the only lies he tells are little fibs. But it's good to know how to spot the signs he could be telling a whopper. Lie detection expert Janine Driver, author of the book, You Can't Lie to Me, fills us in on the words that give away a liar:

 

"Left" Sure, sometimes 'left' is the only word you can use in a situation, but there's some kind of drama involved when he uses it in place of another word that will do (think: "I left the bar at six" vs. "I went home at six"). It could be due to his desire to "leave" the lie behind.

 

"Never" The big thing to look out for is when he says "never" when "no" will do. It's a sign he's overcompensating. For example, if you ask, "Did you just look at that girl's butt?" and he says, "Never!"

 

"That" Like never, it depends on how he uses it. If he puts "that" in front of a noun, like "that woman" or "that money," it's a subconscious attempt for him to distance himself

from the word. This is a common trick of manipulators.

 

"Would" If he skips "no" and goes straight to "I would never do something like that!" when talking about a past event, be wary. For example, "Are you still talking to your ex?" "I would never do that to you!" "Would never" suggests that he plans to do it in the future.

 

"Yes, ma'am" If your guy is a Southern gentleman, then this doesn't apply. But if he suddenly says "ma'am" to you out of nowhere, be cautious. It's a sign that he feels like he's feeling stressed and knows he's in trouble.

 

"By the way…" Liars use phrases like this to try to minimize what they say next-but usually it's what's most important to the story. Pay extra attention to what he says afterward.

 

"But" Liars usually try to downplay what they say with this word, so pay attention when he says something like, "I know this is going to sound strange, but…" or "I know you think I'm lying, but…"

 

"Why would I do that?" It's a favorite stalling line of liars, so they can buy a little time to work out what to say next. These phrases also fit the bill: "What kind of person do you think I am?", "Are you calling me a liar?", and "I knew this was going to happen to me!"

Drinks REAL men never order


DRINKS REAL MEN NEVER ORDER (AskMen)

Sometimes the manliest of men can be emasculated simply by ordering the wrong kind of drink at the bar. Ask the bartender for a "sex on the beach" and the stories you just told your lady friend of your days playing high school football or the time you wrestled a bear will be forgotten faster than you can say, "Can you put a little umbrella in my drink?"

Here are 10 drinks that "real men" never order.

10. A drink with a name you can't pronounce.

9. Malibu and Diet Coke.

8. Fuzzy Navel.

7. Anything that ends in "tini" that's not a martini.

6. "What she's having."

5. Anything that you find very sweet and tasty.

4. Sex on the Beach.

3. Any fruit-flavored malt beverage.

2. Appletini.

1. Cosmopolitan.

How do you sleep?

Here are some results from the survey, commissioned by Anna's Linens to coincide with National Sleep Day on Thursday (January 3rd).

  • 74 percent of U.S. adults wear pajamas to bed; 8 percent said they slept naked.
     
  • 74 percent said they didn’t remember their dreams in the morning.
     
  • 74 percent sleep on their sides, 6 percent sleep on their stomach, and 10 percent snooze on their back. 
     
  • 47 percent said they shared a bed with someone who snored.
     
  • 65 percent said they get a "restful night's sleep" only three nights or less per week; 10 percent said they get a restful night sleep every night; 25 percent said they get a good night’s sleep five to six nights per week.
     
  • The night providing the least restful sleep was Sunday, followed by Monday. Friday night provided the most restful sleep, followed closely by Saturday.
     
  • Out of those who shared a bed with someone, 63 percent said they probably wouldn't get a better night's sleep if they slept alone. (PRNewswire.com)

How do I keep my New Year's resolution?


9 Ways To Keep Your New Year's Resolutions from bankrate.com

1. Make it something you really want. Don't make it a resolution that you "should" want or what other people tell you to want. It has to fit with your own values.

2. Limit your list to a number you can handle. It's probably best to make two or three resolutions that you intend to keep. That way, you're focusing your efforts on the goals you truly want.

3. Be specific. To be effective, resolutions and goals need to be pretty specific. Jettison the amorphous "exercise more," in favor of "I'm working out at the gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:30 p.m."

4. Automate. Automating financial goals can maximize your odds for success without you having to do anything. If your goal is to save $3,000 this year, calculate the amount out of each check, then arrange to have it automatically deposited into your savings account each time you get paid.

5. Make a plan. Rather than stating one daunting goal, create a series of smaller steps to reach it. Have an action plan. Figure out exactly what you want to do.

6. Be prepared to change some habits. One reason that resolutions fail is people don't change the habits that sabotage them. One potent approach is to realize that all you ever have is the present moment. So ask what you can do now that will get you closer to your goal. It could mean trade-offs such as sacrificing an hour of couch time for your new goals. That's how you get resolutions implemented.

7. Write down the goal and visualize it regularly. Writing and visualizing are effective tools for fulfilling a goal because they fix it firmly in the subconscious. And if you write down your goals, put them in a prominent place where you'll view them frequently, such as on the fridge or on your desk. Glickman keeps her important life goals and priorities on her computer's screen saver. 

8. To tell or not to tell? Having someone hold you accountable can be a powerful tool. In general, making a public commitment adds motivation.

9. Forgive yourself. If you fall off the wagon, jump back on. Many people fall into the trap of believing that if they stumble, they should give up. The truth is you don't have to wait for next year or for some magic moment. Instead, realize that "slipping is part of the process.
