Honesty, or laughter

tigertail777 · 01-18-2005, 04:56 PM

If you could only choose one trait to have in someone who is close to you, which would you choose? Honesty or someone that makes you laugh?

I would choose honesty. Laughter does go a long way, but it sure isnt everything, particular when it comes to heart to heart discussion. Besides after a while, without honesty laughter is kind of hollow and shallow, you cant laugh at everything forever.

OK so... which would YOU choose and why?

If I had to choose either a completely humorless companion that was honest or a funny companion that was a huge liar, I would kill myself.

It's like choosing between burning to death and drowning. Can't say I prefer either.

Well, I've chosen the funy liar a couple too many times.

I think it's why I've been single so long.

The president is an accomplished liar who makes me laugh (when he doesn't make me cry). The relationship hasn't worked out for me at all. If I had to choose, I'd take an honest humorless person. Like John Kerry.

Now that's funny. All the women who want the funny guy are going for you.

What he said.

I've had some humorless honest friends in my day and I've had the "nothing but laughs" flighty friends.....can't say that I am in touch with any of them anymore.

It has to be both or nada.

With both traits being so vital to a great relationship, I couldn't choose just one. It's impossible!

Yeah I think I'll be an all-or-nothing guy in this case, give me both honesty and laughter (honest, sincere laughter?), or gimme no relationship at all.

MickeyD · 01-18-2005, 06:04 PM

Yep. I too couldn't possibly choose just one or the other. Give me both or give me nothing at all.

Laughter. When I ask my husband if I have a big butt, I want him to laugh...hahahaha! And always say, "absolutely not, dear!".

But seriously, I couldn't choose. I do love my laughter, but I detest a liar.
