"Some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit. Since that's where they usually end up anyway, it's a logical place to start." - Yuri Orlov
 
It's not true of mine, but since the quote starts with "some", I guess that doesn't disprove it any.

Methinks the most successful relationships are the ones that don't usually end up that way
 
1st part of the quote "Some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit." is IMO not so true.

However...

The 2nd part "Since that's where they usually end up anyway, it's a logical place to start." If "they" being most/many relationships then is mostly true.
 
Many relationships (I don't know about most) end with fighting and accusations on both sides. Should they start that way, too?

Successful relationship end up with the death of the partner. Should they start that way, too?

Methinks Yuri was just being pithy.

I would not read his statement at its face value.

I believe that he was really referring to the fact that by far, most people overstate their upsides and understate their shortcomings, when starting a relationship. Obviously, there are lies and there is a degree of deceit in there. It is a part of the dating process.

Think of how many dudes use that infamous AOL measuring tape when stating their size on most web sites. Thus, very few dudes are below 8" and XL is the norm. No one really believes in that, but nothing changes there anyway.

Most guys do not take it that strictly with the number of birthdays, they have already celebrated. ("Can't say the real age, most search machines would kill all of my chances.")

So, yeah, lying and deceit are largely something that is basically factored into all the usual dating games. Usually, since both parties are guilty of the same crime, no one starts throwing stones around, while living in a glass house.

I also agree that some guys do not lie in their statements, profiles, web sites, etc.. Equally so, I am pretty positive that they do not give full disclosure of their downsides either, though they might be perfectly aware of them as well. The rationale is that 'nobody is really perfect' and that everyone must be able to tolerate certain shortcomings, if you want to live in a relationship. And that rationale is still very valid.

I think it's a very stupid quote. Sometimes people just talk without having anything real to say.
 
I don't define a relationship that ends up lies and deceit as "successful."

But then I'm not a sociopath.
 
Me thinks the phrase was coined by a bitter man whose relationship ended because he lied and was deceitful
 
That qoute has some bitterness in it, but maybe there are relationships that have been built on lies and deceit that have stood the test of time.
