Would you lie or tell the truth?!
Question: If you are with a friend in a store and you see your friend coming to you out of the dressing room showing you something they picked out on them and you are thinking "this is the ugliest thing ever on them" Would you lie and say "its great" or tell them "no thats the ugliest thing ever on you"

I would say something like, "I don't think that outfit suits you as well as most of your clothes. Why not try on a few more things?" That way, you don't hurt their feelings, but you also don't encourage them to buy something that looks awful.
I'll tell the truth
tell the truth
lie
Truth. Don't want them to waste their money!
I would tell the truth*
i wont lie.i'll tell the truth but i'll say it gently.
like "you should try something different"
Kind of in between. I sure wouldn't say it looked great. I would just tell them that it's cute on the hanger, but doesn't look right on them; they can do much better than that.
I'd say... "Why don't we look around some more."
I tell the truth. That's why my friends like to take me shopping with them... I save them embarrassment and money cause I'm completely honest.
i'd tell the truth. it's only my opinion anyway
Well if it's my GF I would try my best to tell the truth but. I know many guys and they'll say it looks good and it's the ugliest dress ever.
I tell the truth unless they are being really indecisive about what to wear and taking a long time.
Say something that relays the message with out being mean.
Something like "that's just not your style"
Tell the truth, but in a nicer way that saying that is the ugliest ever!
Just be like, I don't care for that one too much!
Cheesy, but it works every time!
Save the embarrassment and tell them the truth
I'll tell the truth, but I won't be mean about it and use words like 'ugly'.
I'd take the 3 seconds it takes to figure out what *precisely* isn't flattering about it and tell her honestly.
And I hope she would do the same for me!!
Tell the truth that's what freinds r for.
Tell them: I don't think that's the right cut for your figure or I'm not sure that color flatters your skin. Or trust me, you do not want that.
i would lie because even though lying is bad you wouldnt want to hurt their feelings. because you are her friend.
Be honest, I wouldn't want someone else to tell her, after she bought it!!
I will just say "urgh... not bad... but I dont think it suits you..."
I'd be honest with them and the truth.
tell the truth. if i dont someone else will say that.
The truth, however, it is not what you say, but how you say it, and the words you choose. Your truth-example is designed to hurt, which is equally as bad as a lie, perhaps worse for it reveals lack of understanding and social character in the critical speaker. "I've seen better on you. Why don't you look at something else," ~ given with a smile and a generous suggestion more in line with your perception of that person.
I would tell the truth
Tell the truth, why lie if it does look bad.
i would like to speak truth.
This is a very interesting question. I somehow get the feeling that its not about lie/truth, but rather a question about how to handle behavior with people whose feelings you care about.
Our society has been trying to set the tone for its view of this question forever. We see accounts in our newspapers that someone said this or that. Our government has told one country one thing, yet it has told the UN something different. This question begs the very essence of everything.
I think, we should understand the difference between what we feel and what is scientific fact. This now separates the your question to what might be appropriate, given this situation.
For example, if YOU don't like something, but you are astute enough to understand that this is a feeling, and there are varying degrees of like and dislike, than a response which indicates a suggestion is not a lie. When friends ask your opinion or feeling, you have to decide understanding their feelings might be different from yours.
If you are buying for that person, then obviously, buy something you would be proud of. If you are not buying, genuinely help your friend arrive a decision they would be happy with. If your friend wants you to make the decision for them, then do it for them.
Art is in the eye of the beholder? This is NOT lie or truth!! so be a friend, companion, partner, love-one.
Tell the truth. Would you like it if your friends let you leave the house looking like a jackass? I don't think so...
id probably say something like:
"um... thats pretty, but i dont think it suits you. I like the other one u picked earlier... (insert compliment relating to other artivle of clothing)"
i dont want to be mean and say its ugly, or be mean and let her be insulted by someone else who doesnt like it.
