What is a question that no one answers honestly?

Good answers so far. I’ve gone ahead and answered/replied to each

[Leapfrog00]

"Are you an honest person?" It's a given no one is honest. If the question was "Are you honest 100% of the time", then maybe some people would answer differently. But people lie and some do such a good job at it that it sounds like the truth.

Another one people lie on is when people get into masturbation. Everyone has hormones and urges because the body causes changes. I had a friend once who swore up and down she never masturbated. A while later she was talking about how she didn't orgasm from sex, but she knew what one felt like. How would she know if she never touched her? This goes back to the honesty questions. A person could very well say they're no comfortable answering a question, rather than lie, though with the masturbation question, that would only make it look more obvious, lol

I'm the last person you want to say you don't do something and then do it because unlike a lot of other people, I'm more of a listening than a talker and I will know if a story has unbalanced facts! I'm a writer. My hobby depends on facts!

[BarryLiverstone]

Oh ya doesn’t the saying go something like ; there are two kinds of people in the world, those that admit to masturbating and liars.

Yep I masturbate. Most people do and people will lie out of guilt or shame when asked.

I also agree that no one is 100% honest. Everyone lies and most children start to explore lies as early as 2 or 3 years old. That being said when asked I’ll say I am an honest person because the bar isn’t meant to be 100% honesty it’s meant to be not purposefully attempting to lie.

Interestingly regarding the word honesty I used to observe girls and them complaining that they wanted an honest man. Initially my thoughts were they wanted a guy who didn’t lie; but I learned that’s not quite it. While many don’t want their man to lie to them they are ok with him lying to others if it’s justified. Also through research I found honesty has roots in loyalty. So many actually want a man who is loyal to them and doesn’t cheat.. which made more sense as guys also want an honest woman.

Since you are a writer I wanted to provide you with a longer and more thorough response based on your answer here. I agree that some have become good at lying almost as a skill : see politicians :)

[Anonymous]

Face to face? Now? Why one has the political beliefs they do. I've lived in 46 states... people in W. Va and S. C. who are conservative won't admit face to face they're conservative because they haven't lived in CA to know personally what it's like there educationally, socially and culturally among 30 different nationalities in San Francisco. They think it's all RuPaul and Homeless poo a foot deep on every block. It's easier to just not go and assume you know all about it from CNN 20 second sound bites and a local preacher. Liberals in places like Boulder, Co are SCARED CRAPLESS to be anywhere near minority heavy areas-that are full of the very kind of people they claim to have so much "love" translation (pity) for. Detroit, Baltimore, Miami, New Orleans, Cleveland, etc. But they know if they admit that, they won't get public brownie points for loosely supporting BLM and every other 5 min movement that comes along. There is NO WAY they're sacrificing that condo, their poodle, organic gluten free food, expensive iPhone, tech bro hubby, lattes and Prius' to go live side by side in Oliver (Baltimore) with the very people they claim to have so much love for-but want at least 1,000 miles away from them.

SF is pretty bad. I haven’t been in years but videos are appalling and now not only retail stores are leaving but huge hotels owners are simply defaulting and leaving. It’s a spiral now, Detroit is coming to them.

[Opinion Owner]

I live here now. Higher population as Memphis. 2021...52 murders. Memphis? 330. Plus they have an infrastructure and public education system that's straight out of the 1870's. Culturally it's just Black, "White boy" and "Some Mexican looking dudes." Not to mention Tennessee has the highest violent crime rate as a state in the nation. But when you have Evangelical megachurches who back local politicians... the media praises your "American values." The TL is 1 district, and yes, it's not good. But the Outer Richmond/Sunset, Greenwich, Marina, China Beach, Lakeview, West Portal, etc... are all the opposite. They're also majority Asian, and they don't seek publicity. You can't even understand half the people in a place like Memphis, they think "bitch ass ho" qualifies as English. And that's why they have 330 murders a year and an infrastructure straight out of the 1800's. I've spent time there on a few occasions. And Nashville, and Cookeville.

[Jersey2]

I have seen Memphis in the past 5 years and agree. I also have seen their murders on The First 48 Hours. I also avoided SF on a trip last month as it’s just not where I want to go on a vacation although in the past I had a great time there including Chinatown which was a favorite of mine. It’s imploding now. Stores, tourists, hotels… they are leaving. Many of the wealthy are starting to move to London. Remote work is hurting the city as well since people don’t want to go there. Until their politics change, they will go downward. Few cities can come back from that but I think SF could. Philly, Baltimore, Detroit and even Chicago can’t. NYC can but the list is short. It will take hitting rock bottom like NYC and Miami did before it will turn around.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh, it's true... this is a city of extremes now. You're either on the fast track to wealth, or on the street. It's NOT a place for middle ground. I came here from a few months in Huntington, W. Va, and that ENTIRE TOWN is a third world zombie apocalypse. I came back here because the hustle and bustle can make you a lot of bank in a short time, courtesy of the amount of people here who have a lot of capital. After a year here, I'll be able to put a down payment on a house-in Salt Lake City, which is my favorite place for getting bang for my buck with great scenery. San Francisco isn't for average Joe guy. The hippie days are over.

[findacure4wokeness]

That why it's funny when they start sending the minorities they pretend to love to live with them like they did to Martha's vineyard. Everyone I known are deeply suspicious of liberals.

[Sweetsurprize]

Boyfriend/Fiance: Are you on birth control?

Girlfriend/Fiancee: Yes I am honey don't worry!

The bank: How much money do you make?

Business/Personal Loan applicant: ...

IBM Human Resources: So what school did you graduate from?

IBM Potential Candidate: Umm... Harvard?

[Apple1996]

The "how are you?" question. Most people reply with I'm fine/I'm okay when we all know they ain't fine or okay.

[BarryLiverstone]

I’m tired rn, trying to stay awake to work at 2:00 am

[Apple1996]

Lol love the honest answer. And dang that sucks do you work nights?

[BarryLiverstone]

The company I work for is located in Colorado. I live in Florida so often am up at midnight mountain time working which is 2:00 am here. I’m salaried so I work days and nights to get the job done

[BarryLiverstone]

Appreciate the sympathy but I’m thankful to have a good job as I know others may not have one

[andreasderjuengere]

My standard reply on this howareyou is: ''reasonably''

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As I’m walking by people & they ask how are you I say really shitty because I know their not paying attention. After they say good sometimes they stop & say did you say really shitty.

[ManOnFire]

"Do you agree to the Terms and Conditions?"

[BarryLiverstone]

I lied about that this week in fact when I was purchasing a new iPhone online and didn’t want to waste the salespersons time reading the terms. Plus I honestly hardly ever read all of it.

[ManOnFire]

I did the same thing signing up for Uhaul truck to help a friend move the other day lol. Nobody reads that shit, we just check the box.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I love when I’m at a restaurant & the waitress or waiter walks up to the table & says the following. How’s the food or how is your meal? Everyone says good. Later on people complain that the food wasn’t good.

[BarryLiverstone]

Been there done that. Many people fear if they say something the staff will spit in their food or something. I’ve learned to speak up if something is wrong and mostly it gets taken care of

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A friend of mine & I went out for lunch & as we were eating she said she really didn’t like what she ordered however she was picking at it. Waitress walked up & asked how our food was & she said great & the waitress started to walk off. I laughed & said hold on I would like to order an additional meal. I fixed it the problem.

[Brandi555]

What is your biggest fear? I think people will say a lot of different things that are commonly acceptable. And maybe they are legit fears but I don’t think they really share the biggest fear.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya I know many people hide their fears as they worry how others will react.

My fears can rotate. Like fears of dying young, living in pain, and not living up to expectations are common for me.

[Rangers]

"What's the point of living", everyone I've asked it to so far either didn't answer, or copied weird quotes that make no sense but sound good, such as "you're living and breathing for a reason" but again, I ask what could possibly be a reason. Then no answer

[BarryLiverstone]

I honestly think we live to serve our God and glorify Him by using our gifts. I know many will not agree but I am thankful many don’t agree. We are individuals and here to help each other.

[sawno]

Universally its to transform both your self and that around you, its the one thing you can't stop doing. But a more detailed reason is very personal, normally its found in what comes natural to you and what challenges you have to overcome.

[Rangers]

So more non answers and gibberish? Okay

[BarryLiverstone]

You got an answer from me

[sawno]

Why do you expect us to tell you what the meaning of your personal life is? You are not our slave.

[NamerOfStars]

"How did Richard Nixon respond to his accusers?".

[BarryLiverstone]

I honestly don’t know that answer. Do you?

[NamerOfStars]

No; it was before my time. But I don't think ANYONE would say "honestly".

I'm just being silly; it's a joke on that old riddle of "what word does everyone pronounce incorrectly?" and the answer is "incorrectly".

[BarryLiverstone]

Thanks, now I get the riddle.

[fonduegirl]

Does looks matter?

You'd always get the im more into personality i will date an ugly person any day types

[BarryLiverstone]

Ha ha yep that’s def one people lie to avoid sounding shallow.

Looks so matter as I wouldn’t date someone I’m not attracted to. That’s not shallow, just reality

[fonduegirl]

It's just something my dad says, to belittle my mom and I always tell him that he should have had his pick, since he was dark, tall and educated... But why didn't he? Oh, because he's a hypocrite!

[MementoMori777]

body count i believe, i guess that would depend on how high it is tho id assume

[BarryLiverstone]

My BC is 124

I’m joking, it’s 24

[MementoMori777]

lol.

[BarryLiverstone]

Chris, Imagine if I lied to you said 10 when i literally said 24 10 min ago on the other reply about BC lol

[MementoMori777]

i wouldn't see why youd lie to me, not like ima go telling everyone 😂

[Paige90]

Mine is 12

[BarryLiverstone]

Only 12? You have work to do ;)

[Paige90]

I am ok with my number for my age. It's probably average.

[midnightmoon05]

The question asked back … they just don’t want the truth and only want us to justify their wrong behaviors.

[BarryLiverstone]

Makes sense. The people were not asking in good faith if they can’t answer the question back.

[Simslover92]

All babies being pretty. Not all babies are but we lie anyways about it lol

[BarryLiverstone]

Lol ya some babies are not that pretty

[CrimsonAngel09]

How do I look questions. Doing a simple reverse image search, there's a lot of fake profiles on GAG.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s the truth. I often do the same and yesterday answered one question by asking where did they get the picture from.

[Agape93]

Are you really a good person?

The correct answer is no. You will be the villain of someone's story, even if you don't realize it or under why.

[BarryLiverstone]

No one can please everyone, all the time. To do so is unrealistic. As you said that ends as a villain.

I choose to be a good person based on my morals and ethics. Of course I mess up and no one is 100% pure.

[Agape93]

Exactly. Nobody can accept that, because nobody wants to be seen in contra to how they view themselves. Their unbalanced, they haven't accepted their shadow and their true nature.

[BarryLiverstone]

That shadow I call my monster. It’s powerful and can cause hurt. I hate that side of me but it can come out. Thankfully it’s rare because I keep it under control. But you are right, the capacity always is there

[BarryLiverstone]

Ever feel like a part of you is a monster?

[Agape93]

Used to. I've accepted and integrated it, we are the monster we were made into.

[Agape93]

I don't try and appeal to a better nature because I realize I don't have one. This is as good as it gets, and it only gets worse.

[andreasderjuengere]

Ladies: their age and their weight

Men: their income

:D

[BarryLiverstone]

My income is roughly 97,000 gross at my job, if that’s what you mean

[andreasderjuengere]

... rupies? :D... yes, I mean that kind of garbage.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep, it pays the bills bro

[andreasderjuengere]

Interestingly, being able to pay the bills ''only'' nowadays is (widely) suggested to not be enough :D
Thanks to Americanesian efforts to drive forward consumerism.

[BarryLiverstone]

I’m happy with it. Owning a house before 25, I’m ahead of other peers

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

How tall they are?

Do they have a job?

[BarryLiverstone]

People lie about having a job? That’s sad

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@BarryLiverstone Yes, I do agree with you

[BarryLiverstone]

I’m 6’6

[ChiTown33]

it's true I'm 6'4 1/2. But it's just easier to say 6'5" I guess I'm like most guys and want to pretend I got that extra 1/2 inch😂

[BButterfly]

Are you okay question?

usually people lie about it and say that they’re fine or good or happy but deep down it’s completely different.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya it seems like the social norm is to lie when people ask that. Often it’s a substitute for a greeting.

I’m not ok. But many will not want to burden others and will lie

[BButterfly]

Exactly

[ummi59]

Everyone has a bad side no one is perfect, saying you are fine while you are not is a sort of believing that everything is going to be alright. God is in control.

[BarryLiverstone]

Praise God!

[genericname85]

that there is differences within the human subspecies and that women are actually different to men. everyone knows that cause everyone has first hand experience with that. yet for political reasons we're all denying it and gaslighting ourselfes into not acknowledging it.

[peedy]

That Joe (campaign from his basement) Biden actually won the election

[BarryLiverstone]

President Biden won the electoral college. Clearly

[CuriousMufuxka]

Most of them. For instance dick size, relationship status, and physical stature.

[BarryLiverstone]

So people lie in general? Yep some do

[Nikki1989]

How much money they earn.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think that’s a vert impolite question… And they don’t need to know it unless we are very, very close.

[Nikki1989]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 I agree.

[BarryLiverstone]

Money earned would be complicated as it’s salary plus investments and other sources of income.

[serious]

Not just one I think there are some question for which most people don't answer honestly.

[inhua]

questions in regards to women's preferences for men. men's preferences for women are straightforwardly and answered honestly except for a few virtue signalers

[Anonymous]

How they lost their virginity. People lie about it a lot.

[BarryLiverstone]

Lost mine in a hotel room. I’ve told the story a few times honestly

[Anonymous]

Women and their body count. They lie because deep down they’re ashamed because they know it really does matter.

[BarryLiverstone]

Do you believe if they said the truth they would be shamed for it?

[monghjay2]

do you want GOD to exist?

tons of people lie with this answer

[BarryLiverstone]

How do they lie?

I know God is here and want him

[albertoo8]

when I ask why do you like gag? 😃

90% lies

[BarryLiverstone]

I ask that sometimes as well.

For me the honest answer is the ability to interact on questions and chat one on one

[Krystal7]

Mental health, political and religious beliefs

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya those are difficult topics

[Anonymous]

Women: weight

Men: height or pen size

[BarryLiverstone]

I have a 3 in pen sitting on the desk next to me atm

[Opinion Owner]

That's not what I meant but ok

[BarryLiverstone]

If you meant the private part on a guy, that size varies.

[BarryLiverstone]

But I’ll honestly say at full salute that part is smaller than some of the guys I’ve seen ask on here.

[Opinion Owner]

Eww.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s eww?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't want to know your size. 🤢🤮

[BarryLiverstone]

Glad I didn’t specify

How many people they've slept with.

First guys, you can cut it in half. For women, you can double it

[Opinion Owner]

For* guys

[BarryLiverstone]

My BC is 24

[Opinion Owner]

Lol, and mine is 12

[BarryLiverstone]

College like me? Crazy times bro

[Opinion Owner]

Absolutely! I can totally relate.
With all the... pussy I got in... college

[Opinion Owner]

😭😭

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Do you know how fast you were going sir?

[BarryLiverstone]

People lie to that one when they wanna try to talk themselves outta a ticket.

I’ve only had one speeding ticket so far.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

If he's asking, he thinks you're speeding. I always tell them I was just following the flow of traffic because that phrase is right out of the dmv handbook 😂

[BarryLiverstone]

If that works for you. My understanding is if it’s 55 mph and you go 57, they can pull you over

[Telekinetic-Potato]

You don't say it because you're trying to convince him (even though ideally, you want him to think that's why you're saying it) you're saying it because it's a nothing answer that doesn't incriminate yourself in case he doesn't really have your speed and he's trying to get you to admit to speeding.

Sometimes the gun doesn't catch you speeding or the validity of the reading can be called into question. This happens more than you might think. Never admitting anything also makes going to trial more of a headache for a prosecutor and they will often cut you a better plea deal or drop the case if you make proving the case harder for them.

[thatshydork]

“Are you okay?”

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya that’s a very subjective question. Guess it’s up to an individual to make the judgment.

No, I’m not ok.

[thatshydork]

I hope whatever you’re going through gets better.

As for the question part, true but also I feel like a lot of people don’t want others to worry about them so they just lie and say they’re fine.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes you are right. Many don’t want to appear weak or as you said be a burden.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Body count? LOL

[BarryLiverstone]

Ha ha.

Maybe every time a guy answers he should increment by one. Well as of this morning I’m still at 24. Any way to reduce it?

[Usernamesuck]

😳 how do you know? Lol

[exitseven]

Are you dead?

[BarryLiverstone]

Close. That’s one that no one answers yes honestly

[BarryLiverstone]

But no, tbh I’m not dead

[Sparkie460]

I feel like I am dead except my body hurts so I know I'm not.

[BarryLiverstone]

Eh don’t worry, In 20 years it will hurt even more

[Sparkie460]

If I make it that long

[muscles_glasses]

if your asking a woman than its "does size matter?" and "was I the best sex you ever had?"

[Jazzy54]

“I have read the terms and conditions.” 🤣

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep someone else mentioned that one. I def lie just to check the box.

[Jazzy54]

Yup. 😂

[gamer2x22]

how old they are, where their from, at least for me.

[Reem12345reem]

things about hygiene maybe or smthg gross

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya maybe something gross if they feel embarrassed or shamed. I took a shower today, hbu?

[Reem12345reem]

I took a shower yesterday

[BarryLiverstone]

Better than last week

[Anonymous]

Biggest lie women tell? "I'm really a sweet person".😆 When a woman says this she says it because she knows she's anything but. When a woman tells you this it's a clear red flag, RUN!

[DaddyDiablo]

This one; why do you ask?

[BarryLiverstone]

I asked out of boredom

[BarryLiverstone]

Also wanted to see if I could get a question featured

[annabananna]

Do you care about money?

[BarryLiverstone]

For sure :)

[CreatingWonders]

How are you?
Have you read the terms and conditions?
Has it been used?
Are you sure?

[als24]

How much money they got.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya the question would have to be more specific right? Like how much cash on hand or how much in their various accounts

[als24]

Yeah thats the thing, I don't think you'll ever get a straight answer no matter how you spin it.

[BarryLiverstone]

I mean I currently have no money in my wallet. Seems like credit cards are the norm. But am happy to offer other straight answers

[als24]

I have a whopping £6.50 in my wallet right now.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya it’s less risky than carrying lots of cash

[AnusNdaPainus]

Are you on birth control🙄

[BarryLiverstone]

Ha ha well many guys may lie about that one

[BarryLiverstone]

And nope, my bullets are active as I learned earlier this year

[AnusNdaPainus]

Ask a girl that she’ll say “I was some months ago”
😑

[AnusNdaPainus]

Keep doing squats

[AɴᴋᴀʀᴀBᴇʏᴇғᴇɴᴅɪꜱɪ]

They often lie about their past relationships.

[TrillXHippy]

How are you doing?

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep that’s a common one.

I’m not doing great but am sleepy rn :)

[driven159]

Do you think I am fat

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya, seems like people don’t even want an honest answer. When I confirm they are fat I get yelled at

[In_Trance]

how many people they've had sex with

[BarryLiverstone]

Oh you asked about people, all this time I was just counting bodies ;)

It’s a joke. 24 is my count. Why do you think they lie?

[shades777]

Whats a answer nobody questions honestly?

[BarryLiverstone]

*an answer.. nearly all answers someone can question.

I’d say the closest would be when the minister asks who gives away the bride and the parent says “I do”. In my experience haven’t yet seen someone question the parent on their answer

[shades777]

parent might be relieved that someone finally took away the responsibility

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s almost ceremonial at this point as most women getting married would have already moved out

[Pinay_ako]

Are you okay?

[AviatorTom]

This question?

[Actor3]

Have you got a big penis? Or are your breast real? Or classic Do uou fuck on first dates?

[Anonymous]

Why do you really believe in God?

[BarryLiverstone]

I didn’t know many lied about that one.

For me when I was growing up, I believed really cuz my parents did and I went to Sunday school. Then I decided to invite Him into my heart and took a leap of Faith, so my belief is based on my own feelings and the knowledge He Ioves me. Also will be honest I struggled with this in college.

[Opinion Owner]

Most won't admit its because they were told to as a child but never gave it any real analytical thought.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s too bad they are afraid to admit that. It’s kinda normal to be lead by parents as kids before our brain develops. We learn to talk and walk and sing from parents; why not just admit we went to church as a requirement.

Church is better now as I wanna go and worship

[Fireguy17]

how fast they were driving.

[Laurenvol]

How are things going?

[bruhhhhhh1]

What is your body count?

[BarryLiverstone]

Why is this such a popular question?

[Gabriel-Chicanito]

Their virginity?

[BarryLiverstone]

Haven’t had many lie about that. Have you?

[linka_pat307]

I think every question related to our lives

[spartan55]

For pink users it's: what is your age?

[Anonymous]

How do I look? Lol

[BarryLiverstone]

Many people do lie about that one. But I’ll say based on your profile pic with a question mark you look common on gag

[Opinion Owner]

Lol good one

[BarryLiverstone]

Ha ha ty

[mommymommymommy]

What's 1+1

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s the start of a math equation. However with no equal sign I can’t honestly say it’s 2
