Column TbplOUes told by men By Debra Goldstein ■ The Daily Orange Syracuse U. Some may see top 10 lists as trite. However, I doubt you’d ever see anything like this on Letterman. Before you read this and call me a reverse sexist witch, stop for a sec ond and think about it. Guys, most of you have used at least one of these, and girls. I’m sure you’ve heard more than one. Here are the top 10 lies college men tell women: 1. Til call you.” No. we don’t believe that you lost our number either. Ever heard of 411? 2. *1 just want to see what the score is.* A friend of mine used this one the other day and we ended up watching 45 minutes of Cleveland football. 3. “We're allowed to see other peo ple.” Beware of the man-with-a girlfriend-who-wants-to date-oth ers-on-the-side syndrome. If you’re allowed to see other people, why do we have to duck under the car seat as we drive past your girlfriend's apartment? 4. “No, my mom really does like you.” When you have to assure a woman of that, there’s a problem. If your mom liked me so much, how come she chased me around the liv ing room with a knitting needle last time I was there? 5. “1 hate shopping.” Yeah, sure you do. Everyone hates acquiring something new. right? 6. “You’re not that fat.” This goes hand in hand with "Your hair doesn't look that bad.” Maybe if you said those things without smirking, we would believe you. 7 “I just passed out on her floor." Of course you did. Why would you want to crawl into hed with a Marilyn Monroe look-alike when you can sleep on the linty carpet'1 8. The girl your roommate saw me having lunch with? Oh. she’s from my class; we wen* working on a group project.” 9. “I'm really shy." In other words. I don’t really like talking to you. 10 “It was mutual." Ever notice that men never admit they were dumped?
