There is a reason why you are asked in court to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is because most of the time that is not what people do. Everyone lies sometime. There are many reasons to lie. Sometimes it is to not hurt someone's feelings. Sometimes a lie is for our own advantage. Some people lie in conducting business and in their personal lives. Most adults are aware of when they lie.\n\nA pathological liar believes in the lies, at least at the time that she or he is talking. Their stories tend to be very dramatic. They often portray the person as being smarter, braver, more attractive, or more interesting than she or he really is. Sometimes people begin to catch onto pathological liars because of obvious flaws in the stories.\n\nPsychological Motives for Deception\nNo one is forced to lie; it is a conscious decision. Most of the time people lie because of shame, embarrassment, and punisment.\n\nIn my opinion i dont get why people do, i hate it and it will get you no where.

Immanuel Kant (a famous philosopher) said it is crucial to be honest because lying is the worst thing a person can do. This is because our society is built on trust.  All the time we trust people not to do curtain things (like blow-up the place you are in).  If you lie, you break down the trust that keep society together and if people lie to much, society will crumble to nothing.  For me sometimes you have to lie, but most time it is good to be honest.

Sometimes you have to lie to save peoples feelings. Other times you lie to save your neck. As long as it doesnt cause major problems or hurt someone its no big deal. I lie on this all the time...who cares? Noone knows me

The true is not simple.\n\nSometimes we lie because it is uncontrolable. If I want   impress my date with subtle things. I don't lie much. That is not a lie. When I lie to make myself look good is usually when I stretch the truth a little. Example: I will say I am graduating soon, but in reality I still have a few semesters to go. \n\nI do it to not make myself look bad. To me, it is almost like there is a light switch when talking to someone. Say something they don't like and the light turns off and you are in the dark. If you say something that make you look good, the light turns on. I think that women are careful listeners. They are examining our every word and move. I don't want to scare anyone away. \n\nI know lying is not good, but it really does help a guy to have a chance. For some, if all they told was the truth, they will not get any further than hello. \n\nNow let's talk about somthing close to lying. How about makeup and plastic surgery. I compare these two as lying and literally stretching the truth.

In truth, we are usually set up to fail! \n\nNow calm down ladies! I'm not defending the male species as a whole! Most of us are just dogs.\n\nMen lie for a variety of reasons, but the most common is to protect the one that they are lying to. I know that this sounds incredulous, but is th truth!

They don't all lie.  There are lots of guys who are honest.  \n\nJust me, but I figure if it's a little thing, then there's no point in lying about it unless the liar is looking for control, amusement, self-aggrandizement, or is just a compulsive liar.  If it's any of those things, how does anyone possibly trust him?  Without trust what kind of real relationship can you have?  Not much of one, for sure.\n\nIf it's a big thing he's lying about, the fact that it's a big thing is all the more reason to tell the truth!\n\nThe issue is much deeper than lying and it's not something you can fix.\n\nThere ARE guys out there who are honest.  As long as women continue to date liars, they'll continue to lie.

Yes it is very important to tell the truth but then there are times when it is good to lie. Most of the time it is not good to lie just cause you might've done something wrong or you stole something. But then there are times when maybe u might lie to save or help someone or something. But in my opinion I think that it is best not to lie because lieing alot of the time makes things a whole lot worse. When you lie to people sometimes they make take it peronsal or they might not be able to trust you anymore which trust is always something that you want to have.

i personally don't think its easy to lie. i tried when i was younger, and it ended up hurting someone. unless its like (who ate the last of the ice cream?) i would blame the dog.\ni think some people don't want to hear the truth, or the one lieing doesn't repect the one they r talking to.

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.

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

It is always better to tell the truth.  Lying in any situation is unsound, and usually betrays a lack of courage - the courage to say "I don't want to answer that", or "Well, yes, you are a bit fat, but I love you anyway and if you want to change it why don't we work on it together?" or something like that.  Lying, ultimately, can only ever hurt you, and the person or people you lie to.

because they are liars

Men feel the need to lie to women to mask themselves. Men are timid fragile and somewhat moronic creatures and they can not stand to be denied. So by lying from the get go they feel more secure and it helps them think they are in control. As asinine as it may sound this is true. Plus one lie means another after another and so on and so forth. It starts during childhood, lying to female teachers and their mothers then as they get older its kinda like force of habit. Its just their nature but with the right amount of love, care, and determination they can be changed. Only a few can help it others just go with the flow and will lie even after getting what they want.

Some people think they have to exaggerate to make themselves seem of more importance.  Honesty is not what it used to be, once considered a virtue it is now rarely spoken.  The sad thing is, when someone lies it is to themself they tell the worst of lies!\n\nThen there are those who lie so consistently that they can't remember their own tales...

It is in the details.  Guys lie in color.  They give you details you didn't ask for, want or are not part of the conversation.  If you pay attention they will slip up in some manner.  They always do and the truth comes out.  Be patient and you will find out soon enough.
