You have probably seen a person change their mind about disliking something the second they hear their friend, for instance, say that they love it. Or witnessed someone push through what looks like torture to them, all the while trying to squeeze out a sincere (-looking) smile.

For one reason or another, some people choose to pretend to like something when they actually don’t. And similarly to said reasons, the things they pretend to like tend to differ from person to person. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed what things they believe others lie about liking, and there were quite a few things they pointed their fingers at. Scroll down to find them on the list below and feel free to upvote the ones you agree with the most.

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Ridiculously loud cars even when they are driving slow.

I know it's always going to be easier on the person making the sound but they got to find it annoying when other cars are loud to a corny level.

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Watched it with my college roommates a couple of times and I was just like “I don’t get it” the entire time. I am really big into makeup and I found two of Kylie’s lip kits very discounted (ten dollars a piece when they were normally going for thirty dollars a piece) and I really didn’t get the appeal. I saw a conspiracy theory on a different subreddit saying that Kylie’s makeup line is a money laundering scheme at this point and that is something that I could actually get behind!

My daughter's being wearing them for years, even while prégnant. She walks over 15 000 steps everyday at work, and she tells me that it's flat shoes that make her feet hurt. OK, if you say so....

They would, since her feet will have become deformed through wearing footwear that goes against the natural shape of feet.

I am 4'10". I have worn heels from the time I was old enough to do so until I was in my late 30s, woke up and could no longer put ANY weight on my feet. Had to buy all new shoes and relearn how to walk. High heels are terrible for your feet! I knew this but kept wearing them anyway. Now I live in my Brooks tennis shoes.

I once had a very big, very ugly and grumpy spider in my home. I attacked it with my high heel out of sheer fear. The spider lived. My wall did not.

Several years ago I got some gold-colored spike heel shoes through Freecycle, and wore them to a New Year's party. In about an hour my legs were ready to declare war on me. That was the only time in my life I have ever warn high heels. If I see a woman walking in spike heels and thick soles, I wonder how the hell she does that without falling on her face!

I’d say I have awkwardly shaped flat feet, so most heels with their tiny pointed toes wouldn’t work for me. Needless to say, if I want to gain an extra inch (or five, let’s go nuts), I’ll go for platform shoes!

Seems dangerous to wear shoes you can't sprint in - like to run away from a mugger, bear, snake, demented bully, rabid bat, etc. Also, constant wear will shorten the tendons.

I have up high heels at the ripe age of 25. It started with pain in my own knees and ankles. Then an older friend of mine had knee surgery from, her doctor told her, years of wearing high heels. Looking cute ain't worth my knees! And there are a lot of cute low heels and flats.

Or, another explanation: high heels, initially designed for medieval soldiers, had a practical purpose rather than a fashion statement. These footwear innovations emerged to assist Persian and European soldiers in maintaining stability while riding horses

I actually have a few pairs of heels that are comfortable, they have fairly low heels and I like to add cushioned insoles so I'm sure that helps too. I'm short but I'm NOT wearing 6-inch heels. I'm secure in my height and the knowledge that I would break...everything.

In this situation I recommend expensive shoes. Yes they are way more comfortable, they feel good on your feet. Now I can wear. Jimmy Choo or Manola's are good. They will last a looooong time.

I'm envious of those who can wear them easily. I look like a newborn giraffe trying to wobble on when I do get the chance to wear them. Then the day after, my knees feel awful and even my back aches. I'm best suited to remain on flat shoes on the ground.

I admit I do enjoy a good inch, but I have high arches and I have the bone structure that won't let me squat flat footed. Flat shoes are fun, but I walk heavy on my heel and end up balancing on the balls anyway. I tend to run on the balls as well, to reduce impact force.

Women with high arches will often feel better at first with high heeled shoes because these are the only shoes that match the shape of their feet. However shoes that are greater than one inch can add pressure to the ball of the foot, ultimately, causing more problems than they solve.

Just finished 12 hours in mine and I love them, they hurt if they are the wrong angle (arched too high and only slight support on heel), but good heels are ok. Mind you my bones are bent from them to accompanied them too so, I’m in the minority

My wife was a professional model for 20 years, and typically wore between a 4" and 6" heel almost every day. Can't wear flats, but is trying work her way down to a lower heel. As to the theme of this article, OP is wrong--my wife loves her high heels, and says they just don't make flats that are as cute. I'm not going to say that she has more shoes than Imelda Marcos, but it would probably be a close race.

I love high heels! But poorly crafted heels will definitely hurt you, and the natural structure of your feet is a factor too

Nah, I love them. Wouldn’t walk a long distance in them, but like them for work or a night out. As long as they’re a good fit, I don’t find them uncomfortable for walking short distances.

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Poly relationships.

thrilliam_19:

I have several friends who all tried poly relationships at some point in their life and every single one ended in disaster, and whenever they were all together in the same room at least one person looked like they were miserable and pretending to be ok with what was going on.
Someone always got jealous or someone cheated. Or it was an excuse for 3-4 people to fuck each other for a few months until someone got bored and the people that were actually into it got hurt.
I’m not saying it can’t work, but I have seen zero evidence that it does. I also feel like long-term monogamous relationships are hard, why would adding another person into that relationship make things better or easier?
