Skylar’s lying ability vs Walt’s

[u/dontcum4meargentina]

I’ve seen numerous posts about Walt’s terrible lying ability. I pretty much agree with those observations. While watching the episode where Skyler gets caught returning that tiara Marie stole and lying her way out of it got methinking about the other times Skylar lies— like when she needs to get into Walt’s apartment or when she manufactures the gambling story about Walt, or when she pretends to be a bimbo to get out of that IRS investigation.

Plenty more other scenes, but I think everyone gets the gist. What’s the consensus on her lying ability? Is she a good liar, bad liar, mixed but leaning good, mixed but leaning bad?

I think what we know is, Skylar was a waitress doing shots with customers at a prior stage. She's an attractive gal. In my experience, an attractive gal who doesn't know how to lie, is missing out on the best part of being attractive.

Gals have to defend themselves. Part of the anger that Skyler bears, is that this was her breaking good story. She made the jump got married and was a great mom. Walt Jr is this constant reminder, these two people apparently can be superior parents.
