Ladies, why do you lie to guys?
141704
did you think you would get an honest answer? If so, how could you expect that when you already think women are liars?\n\nI disagree with the payback philosophy though, because at the most it is a 50/50 thing- guys lie 99% more than women?  Thats a laugh to say the least!\n\nI have found that women are liars too, basically because I dont lie to them.  So I think what happenes is that ONE person in the relationship is a liar that why theres problems, otherwise if both were liars, it would probably work!  I know men that lie to their women too, so I dont just think women are liars- and in those cases it is the women that are honest.\n\nSomething else to consider, and ladies, you are not qualified to respond to what I am about to say here- because you will either never admit it, or you dont see it in yourselves;  women want you to read their minds. They will tell you something with absolutely no details, but then expect you to be ABLE to recall those details later.  You may be able to recall the whole conversation, but she will tell you she told you something else, and if there is one detail you dont remember (because she didnt tell you) she will say "you never listen to me!" The fact is we listen, but what they say to us means something else to them than it does to us.  Thats why it seems like they are ALWAYS lying, because when they say things, they dont mean them in the way that plain english defines them.

I'm sorry this is happening to you, but as you said you have not been a good girl. Lying is never a good thing, but if you can live with it more power to you. Now first you have to challenge you man's manhood. You have to seem upset that he will believe made up B.S. tips from a chick he doesn't even know. Then, show how much it hurts that rumors make him question you loyalty to him. Don't over do it. Be suddle, but convincing. Also, consider the fact that he may know who this person is and they may have formed an alliance against you. YES, some females are dirty like that, anything to get your man. If this is true, there is a chance the battle is already lost. Also, you can use that you your advantage. Try to make him understand or believe that the chick will do or say anything to take him away. If is someone you told this information to, use that to your advantage by saying, "She heard all the wonderful things I said about you. Now, she wants you for herself." This boost his ego, and lets him know how happy he makes you and how much you appreciates him.\n\nI hope all goes well. Also...\n\nMoral of the story:\nDon't tell sluts all your personal business.

We often lie to protect other people's feelings, or the shelter them.\n\nImagine if you always told the truth, no matter what.\nWife: Do these pants make me look fat?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour 6yr old kid: Dad, Where do babies come from?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour boss: How's that report (the one you forgot about and haven't even started) coming along?\nYou: ---------\n\nThe IRS, or just anyone on the street: how much did you make last year?\nYou: ---------

Why I think a lot of men and women lie to get what they want is because it's easier to lie..to go sneaking around cheating..or doing things behind their partners back. I think that when a person does this..it just shows that their cowards because usually people do it so they don't get caught or are afraid of getting caught...just be honest and deal with the consequences...

Why do you lie?  I think you need to become aware of your reasons for lying.  You need to remove the underlying (no pun intended) cause.  If you have a feeling of insecurity, then that needs dealt with.  If you are doing things you are ashamed of, then you need to stop doing those things.  It really just depends on your reason for it.\n\nIf you don't know the reason, or you can't fix the underlying problem, I recommend counselling.  That can be very helpful IF you get a good counsellor.  I find good counsellors very hard to come by.  I think those ones that don't say anything and just sit there and stare at you are pretty worthless.  Get one that actually TELLS you something.

I'm sorry. My boyfriend has the same problem. You might be insecure about  whatever you are lying about. When you are about to tell a lie, recognize what you are feeling just before you do. Each time you catch yourself it gets easier to reject the feeling that comes up that makes you want to lie.

So you are a lier too . . . \n\nYou don't like the guys that like you . . . but you dated them . . . which means you like them . . . . \n\nPlus . . . guys your age has no game . . . so they lie to get with you . . . but if I were you I would accuse anyone because you are one too.

It's a biological drive. Not all men act like that, some women do. Some people will be deceitful for no reason at all. People are complicated.

First of all, there are reallly no fool-proof way to tell, but if they are lying men:\n          1.Can't look you straight in the face\n          2. They fidget\n          3. They try really hard to convince you of their lies\n          4. They "swear it on everything they love" \n          5.  If you ask them the same question 2 days later, they    \n               they pause and have to think of what they told you \n               previously.

Lying to protect your feelings... is that what they're calling it now?\nWhen a guy is seeing someone, other female friends need to be kept at a distance. Socializing together in groups of friends is ok, but he needs to cut the one on one bs. Would he like it if you went out with former boyfriends? I didn't think so. This looks one sided in this sense. Tell him to cool it on the female dating, he has you. Lying by omission is still lying. It's how all guys fool around! I meet more and more guys with a regular gf plus a side wack. Don't make excuses for him, either. If the guy wants to date, then he shouldn't get serious with anyone and play the field. Be firm, and draw the line. You are not being unreasonable by confronting him and saying what you really feel on this matter. If he loves you, he'll respect your point of view.

It shouldn't be this major issue, if you don't want to ask her then you wont know and you should trust what the woman says to you otherwise, why are you with her in the first place. There should be no use of a lie detector nor is there a way to tell other than asking. Same goes for a man, the only way for a woman to know is by asking them and trusting their word.

The same reasons women do. Lying is not gender specific.

Depends on the type of person you are, it's hard for me to lie, never been good at it. I have been taught that it's easier to tell the truth because you need to make up another lie to cover the previous. and the truth is a matter of fact. when your not out to hurt the people you love you don't need to lie.

becasue its easier to lie than to tell the truth, they want to cover up the things they don't like about themselves and when they lie they can make the world better than it really is.  when they lie they are making the world like they wish it was. they dont like it when you get emotional upset so they lie to keep you emotionally sensible.   whould you still like him even if he told you the truth,  he wants and needs you to be nice so he lies.  it takes a man to tell the truth about he hard issues in his life most men dont get there until about 50.  do you always tell teh truth?  why not

YOU CANT...\n\nMen will always lie no matter what... I am a guy and yes I would lie to a girl that I like to make her mine...\n\nYou can only know who he really is after being together for a long time...
