Honesty pays off spiritually. People that are habitually honest tend to be more at peace with themselves and those around them, form and maintain more meaningful relationships, and I'm sure many more things I won't take the time to think of right now. Anyone that is consistently dishonest and at peace with themselves is a sociopath.

Why are there so many liars, hypocrites, two faced people in the world? Because most people are naturally self centered and fear based. We have desires that turn into demands and begin to rule over us. Once our desires become demands, they cannot possibly all be met which leads to fear and insecurity. This in turn can lead to manipulative and dishonest behavior, and in more extreme circumstances can manifest itself in the form of other vices such as gambling, sex, drug, and all sorts of addiction.

Liars get ahead in life while honesty holds you back? Not sure if this is true. You're probably biased towards noticing that certain dishonest people are doing well (you're most likely talking financially) because you don't feel they deserve it. It is human nature to remember negative things, things you see as unfair, as opposed to noticing all of the positive things around us.

I would have to believe that honest people have at the very least the same chance to get ahead, and they will also sleep much better at night.

lol it's facetious to whoever typed phacetious. solid laughs on this site.

egomaniacs tend to either try to dominate people or depend on them far too much.

this cycle only adds to their insecurity over time, as they drive away those they try to dominate, and are disappointed by those they depend on too much as not every need can be met.

i don't see a way of overcoming this type of abuse, besides getting the egomaniac the help he needs. this can be pretty fkng tough.

when i read OPs that are severely disappointing.

yeah clearly it does. it certainly does not display any humility.

the irony of the op is awesome.

awesome singular subject, plural verb usage when asking if smart is a turn on.

4 pages of garbage

the answer is of course yes. most people, men and women, are ruled by their instincts regarding sex, material, and emotional security. when this gets out of wack, our natural instincts (which are necessary and helpful in many areas of life) become liabilities to a certain degree. not every single man is out of wack in these arenas, and there are plenty of great guys who have it together.

maybe if you give a more detailed description of 'real manly man' and 'real gentleman', we can answer more helpfully or get a good laugh.

Within you I lose myself.

Without you I find myself wanting to be lost again.
