Between a liar and a cheater, which would you pick?

Question

In this scenario you're expected to pick one of each, which would you go for

glutton4punishment · Accepted Answer

Though there really is no difference between the two, I'd pick the liar. Assuming they lie about anything and everything, it'd be easy enough to discern the truth.

As with the liar, the cheater too, would have no respect for intelligence. But the cheater will take that disrespect even further, when the other realizes they can't reach the knife that was by no small coincidence, now planted squarely in the middle of their back...

Meaning, they'll be hauling around that little souvenir from relationship to relationship, for as long as it may take to meet someone, actually capable of removing it.

That's how (I) usually envision shit scenarios such as those, playing out anyway.. eventually. When wracking my brain, for some kind of (viable) excuse, as to how someone can stare into the eyes of the other, professing their undying love they have for them, etc.. Then as soon as their back was turned, squeeze in a few more well placed knives right where the rest of their ex's left off. Just out of reach and with no known treatment, even if they could.

As that really does qualify as a double wammy, and all. One, some may even say... worthy of death. Depending on the severity of gory details involved.. or simply, what part of the world they lived in.

Seriously, even if they had completely fallen out of love and all, there still (had) to be some point when the time they spent together, (wasn't) looked back on, as surviving a fuckin nightmare! One so horrible, they would now feel completely justfied to tear the other's heart out... one gory detail, of their latest betrayal to the other's trust, at a time.

Why not spare them the slightest bit of dignity and just break up with em, (1St)?

Sure seemed like a simple enough solution to me, anyhow.

Girl, you can almost be certain a person that lies will most likely be a cheater too. These type of people have zero integrity contrary to what comes out their mouths pretending they are a certain way.

aWes0MeNeSs · Accepted Answer

I simply would not do it, lol. I have no use for either. Both are terrible qualities.

I guess if I had absolutely no say in the matter whatsoever and hypothetically HAD to pick, it would probably depend on how bad the lying situation was, though I don't see the point in being in a relationship with someone you can't trust, and there's no way I can trust a liar. Really, neither option is necessarily better than the other. I'd actually say both are about equal, assuming the liar is a habitual one.

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Both options are terrible and I'd prefer to avoid both! But if I had to pick, probably the liar.

A cheater is technically a liar as well (because he probably lied to whoever he cheated on), but I just cannot trust or be with a man that hurt and deceived another woman; it shows he doesn't respect fidelity and trust in a relationship.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

A cheater is a liar tho, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ And sorry, wouldn't choose EITHER... Don't need to be in a relationship that bad to the point I'd put up with lying or cheating, When I personally know that you CAN have a relationship with someone that's NEITHER... Least it used to be that way... Now, not so sure 🤷🏼‍♀️ But to me if you have to choose the lesser of two evils, I will always choose NEITHER

ragequeen · Answer

If you know about the cheating, it`s easier to get away. However, clever liars almost always get what they want, because they know how to get it. They can hide small things to big things. You never know who they truly are. I would pick a cheater.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

No, in real life, I am not required to either be a liar or a cheat, so I choose neither.

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

Having had to deal with both types, I'd say a liar.

bigCraneGuy · Answer

Since there is not one human being on this entire planet that is not a liar and some fashion I would choose the liar and understand them for who they are and keep in mind that they just might be lying. I'm a firm believer in communication if you feel the need to cheat that means you don't feel like you can communicate your emotions to me and express that you like to be with another person. If that's not the dynamic of our relationship then it's obviously over or shouldn't have begun in the first place. I really do think people should talk about how they feel about polygamy and sharing and open relationships of that nature. Some people are completely against it and some people live very happily together not hung up on ownership of the other person. So yeah f****** cheater everybody lies

Ripper_E · Answer

If I have to pick, a cheater, because at least I know where I stand with that person. With a liar, I don't know anything. I don't know if they are happy, I don't know if they've cheated, I don't know anything.
Neither of them are good. I don't want either.

EclecticEmapath1111 · Answer

I'd choose both. The cheater, I'd go out with him then make friends with his girlfriend and seduce her behind his back. The liar I would go out with for a while then I would tell all of his female friends that he's impotent and has a urethra problem and some of his guy friends that he's a premature ejaculator and can only last 30 seconds in bed. Yes I will take both bastards and teach them a lesson that fits their vices.

MCheetah · Answer

I'd rather an honest and genuinely remorseful cheater than a habitual liar. Because although the cheater messed up pretty badly once (assuming this wasn't a long-time, ongoing thing), a relationship cannot survive without trust. And you can never trust a constant liar.

Elsa143 · Answer

Both are the same.
It's like asking whether you choose a crocodile or a python to eat you.
I would rather die alone but won't choose either of them. If by mistake I choose either of them then it's guaranteed that he'll be killed Lol.

TruthBringer · Answer

I'd rather choose none. But I truly had to deal with one (just for the sake of this question), I'd choose the liar. Although they both are often very connected.

Anonymous · Answer

It is the same when you talk about cheating one just cheating and proud and another lies about it on top, but cheating is still done.

'So it is the same f*cking difference', some movie quote...

Or you talking when one just lies a lot and another cheating all the time and talks about it? I would choose niether, just stay alone instead to save me some drama...

Psychoanalytical · Answer

Neither. There is nearly 9 billion people on the planet. Choose wisely.

Novacane · Answer

Obviously none, but that'd no fun If I had to choose I would say liar (assuming the lie isn't leading to cheating) Getting cheated on is a big fear of mine, so I would like to avoid it.

Larry30 · Answer

The right answer is neither, the end result will be the same. I know you imposed a choice, but I would take neither. Life is too short and you could end up in the end by yourself with no one and too old to care. Sounds lonely. I choose life!

CaptainOverthink · Answer

I'd say they're mostly the same. But not necessarily. Someone who lies can never ever be trusted.  Someone who cheats but don't lie about it can at least be trusted. The lesser evil.

DocT1977 · Answer

I would take a pass on both. I could not choose one or the other in this situation. Just two sides to the same coin in my book.

Dongtai · Answer

Neither. Stop normalizing dysfunctional dating habits. There’s plenty of people who are honest and faithful.

Alyssa11 · Answer

To me it's the same thing. It takes a liar to be a cheater.

snowboarder720 · Answer

My answer is neither. I wouldn’t want one or the other. Both are equally shitty.

Kaneki05 · Answer

I mean honest about be bad is better than lying about it. So cheater if there honest about it if they not then it's just the same thing 100%.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Liars probably cheat so it would still suck. But if he's good at it to the point where i would never know he's lying, then i can't exactly be mad ig

dac91 · Answer

As long as I knew what I was getting into. I guess it would have to be a cheater. At least I know what they are doing. With a liar it can be anything and everythinh.

lanadelrey25 · Answer

So a rotten mushroom or a rotten onion? I guess the liar. They are both one in the same though.

Tonytoutouni123 · Answer

Cheating is lying, because you promised someone to stay faithful. So you basically lied to him/her.

Hazelstar99 · Answer

I think cheater because cheaters are honest sometimes.

ProfessionalMusician · Answer

If they were my only choice I would pick a liar, because if she was a cheater if she was not careful she could pick up a problem not  Either of us wouldn't want

SuspiciousGifPoster · Answer

If it is implied here that cheater is not lying, and a liar is not cheating, I'd go with a liar. "by the way, while you were out at work, I banged your best friend on our bed" doesn't strike me as particularly pleasant dinner time conversation.

Anonymous · Answer

none, I wouldn't go for either. If they think they can get away with lying, they'll probably take it a step further and cheat too.

worldscolide · Answer

Neither, I would stay single cause i could not trust either.

Cheater is better than liar because the former has one annoying habit (if he cheats repeatedly ) while latter conceals truth almost all the time.
