Dude. If you still haven't realized that if you say "DUPE!!1" you're going to get modded down, then who's the n00b? - DanteDefiance, on 10/12/2007, -5/+57OMG my wife is cheating on me.
- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -9/+53No, this could not also help us to lie better. Honestly.
(touches nose) - speezer, on 10/12/2007, -18/+59Everything I say is a lie!
- DanteDefiance, on 10/12/2007, -6/+47Me: Honey are you cheating on me?
Wife: No.
Me: YOU LYING BITCH! - Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -7/+47same thing for politicians too :)
- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -4/+42This could also help us to lie better, could it not?
- NoOnEx, on 10/12/2007, -7/+42What does the number of comments have to do with site visits?
- webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29She's *your* wife *too*?
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29If they say something like "I did not have sex with that woman" or "Iraq has WMDs"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+36http://www.duggmirror.com/
- ray901, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25"Other signs of a lie:
• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject."
I always thought the English were all a bunch of liars. ;) - totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22this should really be titled: "How to tell when really bad liars try to lie to you"
- Markie1006, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24Me too *yawn*
Wake me if you see my boss coming.. m'kay? - lupinglade, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Good liars make eye contact.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25How do you tell if a lawyer is lying?
- billygoatzz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Unfortunately I'm am terribly shy and I have many of the behaviors of a liar, I always avoid eye contact, it is actually painful for me to look someone in the eyes. Also I never face people. I've noticed i go to one of their sides, so were not facing each other. I show alot my face will blush if corned if I'm singled out. It really suck and I find that it extremely difficult to impossible change any of these behaviors.
Funny thing is that people always tell me that I seem very trust worth and honest, which I am. - tripm, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20"Final Notes:
Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible." - jonnierod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16There's plenty of scientific research to show that cops and interrogators who use this stuff and claim to have a "knack" for catching liers are no better at it than the rest of us. This is bogus. Liers don't make eye contact? That's the first thing I do when I lie.
- buryme, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18I am lying in this comment.
- detroitsux, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Crap. My kid DID eat the last cookie afterall.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13FTA: A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: “ I didn't do it” instead of “I did not do it”
"I did not have sex with that woman. Miss Lewinski." - smacg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14All of existence is lies. This world, everything, is nothing but shadows on Plato's wall. Matter and energy are lies. You, me, the cow... lies, lies, lies!
- Recluse, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13"The following statement is true."
"The preceding statement is false." - webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13[sarcasm]
Oh, yes, all English are liars...
[/sarcasm] - neftaly, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10@GrantTheGr8, you don't actually need to specify the name of the article. Duggmirror detects the referrer...
- neuropsychguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11He's not standing up?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14Yup, me too.
- maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10haha I know. When I'm lieing, the first things that go through my head are things like
make eye contact, dont fiddle with your hands, etc
who the hell tells a lie, looks at their feet and starts playing with their nose? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Damn, all the good lawyer and politician jokes are taken already.
- nazadus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8No, you are wrong.
Basically what this _entire_ article describes is trying to see if they are different than normal. This is far easier for a wife, for example, to be able to see because she would know what a normal behavior would be like than it would be for a cop who just barely knows you (assuming you are part of an investigation).
It also has some hints on unconious behaviours that statitiscally liars tend to do.
And the article is very good about not saying "then that are not telling the truth" -- it tends to go "it's more likely...". It doesn't give bold answers like that because not everyone is the same. Some people really do look away when they are telling the truth (ADD for instance, would follow anything new in the background and might change topic without noticing it -- but that doesn't mean they are not telling the truth). - Otto, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12A lot of those also describe people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism. Always take the person's normal behaviors into account as well.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10How do you know the character names on Full House?
- halicon5, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Not only does it match Asperger's syndrome, but it matches a lot of foreign cultural norms. In many societies, it is rude and impolite for children or "inferiors" to look directly at the faces of superiors (including police).
Article dugg down for lack of any true scientific or technological merit... it's just a repeat of what we expect as cultural norms here in white, anglo-saxon, middle-class America. - roguepixel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Heh alot of those "signs" I do on a dailt basis talking to people regularly because I am not comfortable around other people, guess everything I say must be BS then.
- Shade00a00, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Me too *looks up and to the left*
- nicepants, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8If a spammer is talking, they are lying.
- See Rule #1 - wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7This is a great tool to use when learning how to lie convincingly. Make sure you DO all the things a liar doesnt do and vice versa.
- Stonekeeper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I have a girlfriend
- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Exactly. I look them into the eyes to see their reactions, how else would I know if they buy my lie or not.
These tell-signs might work when dealing with children who are lying, but not at all with a self-confident adult. - lowerlogic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Good liars don't lie, they equivocate!
- ntufar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10his lips are moving
- Ottergoose, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7"Full House" was a popular American television show, likely cancelled shortly before you were born. If anyone ever claims that you like Kimmy Gibbler, or calls you a "Gibbler," they are attempting to insult you.
- IamTheProfessor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6"feel the lie"
Really? You have to feel it? Like if I get a weird feeling in my stomach when someone talks to me about spilling the milk? What if ate taco's for lunch? Would I be able to discern the bumbling in my gut with the bumbling liar?
"feel the lie" - riplikethat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7What's her number?
- Tarnum, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This technique doesn't work with professionals, who lie routinely - lawyers, doctors, cops, politicians, many high level managers, Bill O'RLY, etc.
Also you will have many false positives with shy people, guys who are uncomfortable communicating face-to-face. -
