Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
Things like... lets say a friend gets engaged and you think her Ering is really ugly.. do you say you don't like it or tell her its beautiful??
If a friend buys a new outfit and asks you what you think.. do you say she looks bad in it or say nothing?

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
I would probably lie and say it is nice, even though I think it is ugly. I wouldnt have the heart to say your ring is ugly
The only person Im honest would be my family or DH.

These are times where a good old fashion white lie is the best route, IMHO

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
I could never tell someone your engagement ring is ugly - the ring is something beyong her control and was given to her by someone she loves - saying something is just so rude.
If a good friend of mine or sister asked me how an outfit looks on them - i would tell them my opinion perhaps by saying "I don't think that outfit does justice on you" or "It seems tight...."
These are 2 completely situations...

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
depends totally on the situation..with things liek hair, make up , clothes I will give my honest opinion if asked..
e-ring, no I would lie, or say WOW its great, cause it is great just not my style maybe...
I would try not to lie to friends, but if it woudl hurt them and theres no reason to be honest, like the e-ring..whats my opinion count really ya know? Then I would lie...

i agree, esp for a e-ring. while it is "just a ring" and by no means a measure of love, i just couldn't bring myself to say it was ugly-i know it would hurt.

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
i am very opinionated - i learned at an early age, that when I don't have something nice to say, it's better to just smile and say nothing at all.
I have a friend who really DID get an ugly e-ring. She picked it out, but it's UGLY. It looks like someone took some Elmer's and stuck a head on an already existing band. The stone is even set crooked. BUT I just smiled, and walked away.

I'd lie like a rug...that's waaay to close to someone's heart to criticize.
If a friend buys a new outfit and asks you what you think.. do you say she looks bad in it or say nothing?
if it really make her look awful I would tell her. If she looks good in it but it is not my style, then I'd keep my mouth shut.

I agree- there are plenty of things that are not worth damaging a friendship over.
Who knows, my friend's e-ring could be gorgeous and maybe I am the one with bad taste!

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
about an e-ring, i'd lie b/c its about personal preference, and i know i wished some people kept their mouths shut about my ring, calling it "cute." yeah, wheres your ring, biotch?
as far as clothes, if i was shopping with them, i'd tell them the truth, but if someone wore a shirt that was most heinous, i'd definitely keep my mouth shut

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
Jewelry is very personal taste so I would lie. There is nothing to be gained by telling her the truth on that one.
But clothes on the other hand, if a friend asked me for an "honest" opinion, I would give it...if it looks really bad I'd be saving her the embarassment of walking around like that.

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
Most people I know already know I am not much into jewelry so they would not be at all surprised it I did not get so excited about their ring.

something like a friends ugly ER, i'd have to tell a little white lie and say its pretty, so as not to hurt her feelings.
but for other things like an outfit, or how something looks on her, i'd be honest.
i'd also be BRUTALLY honest when someone SAYS something UTTERLY idiotic and ignorant!! THEN I don't hold back!

Re: Do you tell the truth when it comes to..
If its something that can be changed, like an outfit, I am very honest.
BUT if its something that can't be like an engagement ring(that she probably thinks is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen), DEFINATELY not gush, but not say its ugly.

I agree with this. I'm very honest with all my friends (about clothes and things like that) and they know it.
