So then at least one of those statements is true and one of them is false. By the way, you should change to "Men always tell lies," that way it is never possible for them to tell the truth. Because you can be called a liar and still tell the truth sometimes.

    Yeah, the liar's paradox is pretty stupid. There is a solution to it which does not form a paradox.
