I do not lie. I simply do not reveal the truth or invent another version of it. Of course, this requires one to have an excellent memory and not too many plates...
Yes, I lie. But is lying bad? I don't think so. As Logical pointed out, many people cannot handle the truth. We on this forum live in an alternate reality of culture, different from what most women (and men) have been raised to believe to be right and true.
There are simply too few women around who are comfortable and educated in our more free-form manner of living. Usually such women are labelled sluts by mainstream culture, and we players. Even if we are not. Such women who are on my "team", do know the truth and I know theirs. These are the most comfortable plates too, by the way. No strings are set by cultural expectations, and no feelings are hurt if a desire for strings is formed with one party and not the other; we simply accept this to be the possible way of things and if one can't handle it, we simply say our goodbyes. Yes, that takes discipline and character, which is also why one must be a Man. Only Men can deal with things like that. And Women.
As for the other plates about whom it is obvious that they're more "traditional": What they don't know, indeed LP, doesn't hurt them. I make sure I always treat my women with dignity and respect and I never lie to the extent that I promise or make them believe something that isn't there. Like exclusivity, a relationship or anything of the sort. From the way I treat them and keep things, they fortunately almost always realize I'm a free bird. They jokingly call me a womanizer and because of the light and joking atmosphere I try to keep with them, it seemingly never bothers them to keep trying their hardest to put me in that cage.
If they grow tired of that hunt after all, they simply no longer chase me. In which case I also move on. If they want exclusivity, I tell them that's not me right now. Which is the truth. Usually, we also move on because I all too well understand the impossibility of seeing eachother with a single-side interest for more than seeing eachother.
I don't think this "game" can be played with most women without a certain degree of lying or bending the truth. I believe that as long as you don't say or promise anything that isn't, I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. It's more like staying a mystery at all times.
