    Ugly Truth DVD

    Last week, I posted a quick contest to win an UGLY TRUTH prize pack – including a DVD and poster for the film. I asked my lovely GATWers to tell me the best lie they’ve ever told the opposite sex to charm their pants off (metaphorically speaking, of course!). You guys gave me a lot of really great entries, and I was hard-pressed to choose a winner. I finally made my choice based on keeping most in the spirit of the film.

    Hit the jump to see our lucky winner!

    It’s Karen R! Check out her entry:

    I told these guys at a bar that I was a transplant surgeon and that I was there at the bar having a drink after a very long surgery to transplant someone’s heart or lungs or something. They didn’t believe me at first but somehow I convinced them I knew what I was talking about and eventually they believed me and told me how impressed they were that I was so young and had such an impressive career!

    To claim your prize, Ms. R, please shoot me an email at kate@gordonandthewhale.com. We’ll get your prize out to you ASAP.

      I met a guy at friends once and I promised him an massage if he would call me, and he called my bluff and called me a week later. That "massage" was the start of our relationship and we've now been married for 20 years!

      I once told a guy that I would rather be with him than my dream guy Liam Neeson and had to prove it when we ended up stumbling onto a location film set in Hawaii where he was...couldn't even go get an autograph.

      Okay after watching this movie me and my boyfriend cracked up but here are some of his well comments that he usually gives me (this is before we watched movie)

      me: My birthday's coming up. You'd better get me something pretty.
      My Boyfriend: I'll get ME something pretty. And you can play with it.

      me: Your fly is open.
      my boyfriend : I'M ADVERTISING

      p.s. dosent he remind you of someone in the ugly truth *wink* *wink*

      needed a good recommendation for a promotion I had applied for. started chatting up my team leader weeks in advance and I guess he began to see me as a confidant conveying his insecurities with women in the office or other guys on our team. At a low point I told him he made the pocket protector he sported look good; that he shouldn't worry about it because retro was making a comeback.

      Worst lie was when I was chatting online with a guy I know at work. I pretended to be a completely different type than I was. My perception of him was that he was kinda of a materialistic, egotistical and shallow guy. Why then did I lie to him and start this Crazy lie? I just wanted to see what made him click. I created a different woman who was 5'9 tall, slender and blonde, oh and she lived in a different country. I even supplied a couple of photos I found. It was crazy and I don't think Illegal as I did no Illegal activities other than the lie. We did Chat for about 6 months and spent many a night in hours long chats.
      Now It has been quite a while since I had done that and found my insight into this man, He is still a bit of what I first perceived, alas he is much more. I actually am good friends with him now and every day I feel a little twinge of regret. I think though, Would I have known him as intimately as I do without the original lie? Who knows?

      I met my first love after prom in '04. He worked on the Boardwalk and I thought he was hot. I was scared to go up to him, but I had a camera and so I walked up to him and said, "I'm on a roadtrip and have to take pictures with people - will you be in one?" He did, we exchanged numbers, and dated for years on-and-off afterward. I still have that picture and will never forget that day!

      I put on an Irish accent and said I was a tourist and needed help to decide where to go and what to do (in NYC). Guys (and girls) often get turned on by a foreign accent- makes you stand out from the crowd.

      "Wow, you're so right, maybe I should (insert blank here- examples: go to bed earlier, not drink so much, clean the litterbox, go to the gym more often). Thanks for suggesting it!" (All sarcastically of course, unbeknownst to him!)

      I told this guy that I was a former us gymnast and let his imagination go wild. He gave me more than the casual glance over and pass!! He did not question my flexability either.............

      It wasn't really a lie as such, but i wanted to tell someone that i had a sore throat and a deep voice, but ended up saying that i had a deep throat

      I spent the night at my best friends last night because I was too drunk to drive home and my phone died. That is why I didn't answer any of your calls.
