Honesty doesn't seem to be so honest anymore

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Honesty has become so rare in today’s society.
It’s so sad to say that, but it’s the truth.
People are all about ‘dropping hints’ and being ‘discreet’. There are times for that, I guess. But not about important things, okay? There’s a difference between dropping hints for someone to guess a surprise, or dropping hints because you’re trying to ‘tell’ someone you’re interested in them.
This week, I’ve seen a few things on Facebook, or heard them in person, where people suggest to ‘drop hints’. Especially girls. Many girls I know encourage each other in this. “If you like a guy, you should drop him a hint.” Uh, no. For two reasons. First of all, if you’re old enough to even understand what it means to be attracted and interested in a guy, then you’re old enough to speak your mind and use your mouth to be honest and say what you want to say. (cue the Sara Bareilles song…) Secondly, guys don’t always get the hints. Actually, 99% of the time they don’t. Why? Because they are very honest, straight-to-the-point creatures. (Or at least the real men are.) They’re honest, they expect others to be honest with them.
But it shouldn’t just be limited to genders. We all need to learn to be honest. Dropping hints isn’t going to help anything. How is giving a hint any easier than just coming straight out and saying what needs to be said? What does giving a hint do that face to face honesty can’t or doesn’t?
If people were honest, life would be simpler. And I’m not talking about the honest sort that say blunt, sometimes hurtful things. But just plain honesty in any and every little thing. Friendships. Romance. Work. Talking about life.
What are your thoughts on this?
