As you’re navigating an interpersonal situation, you’re inevitably going to have an emotional response to whatever is happening.
Ex. you find out she’s a former sugar baby. You immediately want to lose it on her for not disclosing this part of her history.
If you lose it on her, she’s going to clam up, start lying to cover her tracks, and withhold as much information as possible.
If you recognize the emotion, and acknowledge it without reacting, you can maintain frame and maintain control of the situation. By maintaining frame, you can continue a line of playful questioning and extract more information from the conversation, while steering towards your ideal outcome.
Obviously in the example used you would end the conversation and ghost her before getting to far, but the take away is that emotional regulation and self control can help you learn more where you otherwise wouldn’t.
Keep lifting. AWALT over everything.

If you need help with stress relief or for calming down, mushroom supplements are perfect for you. You don't have to worry, there are a lot of healthy natural supplements available now that I didn't know about, but my friend advised me to order them from https://www.shrooms-online.org/shop/magic-mushroom-capsules/ where he has been doing it for over six months. I use them for a quick energy boost before work and to relax after dinner with friends or for a unique taste and feel, you should definitely try them.

Emotional resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, setbacks, and difficult situations by effectively managing one’s emotions and thoughts in challenging circumstances. I and my angry gran are really interested in this field.

This was acknowledged. It’s an extreme example for the sake of illustrating an example.

women lie by instinct most of the time. This doesn't mean they aren't good liars, but that most of their lies fall apart under logical scrutiny and some questioning.
Real convo I had:
Me: So what kind of dating app do you use?
Her: None. I don't use them. I prefer meeting people.
Me: Really? No Tinder, no Bumble or anything?
Her: No, I'm not into them
Me: I was asking because a friend of mine said he swiped you on Tinder and thought you looked familiar (Lie)
Her: Really? What's his name?
Me: I thought you said you don't use Tinder lol?
Her: ... I did but it was a long time ago. I deleted them all and don't use them anymore

women lie, when it's to their advantage. simple as that

no doubt. i wanted to point out a difference though. when they lie, their stories rarely match up because it's impulsive and by instinct. the best lies are the ones with a complete story behind it with details that support the narrative. if you listen closely and calmly dissect the information they give, you can see the inconsistencies easily

Exactly. If you had blown up, “oh that’s bull shit! Yes you do” - then you’d get nothing out of her.
Maintaining frame, staying calm, allowed you to execute a line of questioning that lead to the truth.
