The main reason is not to hurt the current guy or have him think we are slutty.  Also it is possible that she's only counting relationships, not the randoms.\n\nPersonally I do think that this is pretty sketchy behavior.  But mostly forgivable if explained.

To make such a generalization is brash, at best. Men lie as much on the internet as they do "in real life." Most men and women lie at one point in a given relationship to try and hide problems or make themselves more attractive to their partners. This of course can be problematic, but don't be afraid to love again. While most men and women do lie, most of the lies told are for the benefit of the other partner. If you find that your partner is lying only to benefit themselves, then you should quickly bring them up on it, or release them.

Because by other experiences girls generalize that men are liars... because someone cheated this way, we see a pattern here... just show your girl what you do, take her onece and she will know that you are the exeption to the rule, its not natural, but some women think of you as dogs hunting and she might trust you but not the people you are among of, so let her meet your buddies, and let her know theres nothing to hide she will trust you more because theres information saying how do you feel ok... Be truthfull and this will set you free of explainning yourself everytime you hang out with your friends ok... \nBest of luck!

good on you for telling her off.\nThey are probably continuing more discreetly.\nFace it, they both lied to you until you found them out.

yea but guys are hard to read and if they dont want to tell you something theyll get around it.....girls look to their friends to let them know what a guy is thinking cuz they know that theyll be honest and they cant figure it out for the life of them so mayb their friend can.

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.

Maybe it's because girls like that find really caring guys and take advantage of them, or treat them like they're not worth anything, so then those guys clam up and are afraid to trust anyone anymore, then the rest of us really caring girls, if we want any companionship at all, are forced to associate ourselves with those "jerks."\nIt's a vicious cycle.

it is very dishonest, it isnt fair to the one your with to be with somebody when they're not da one u really love. they deserve a chance to be wit someone who is emotionally available to them, to have someone who can really love them for them. so no it's not fair...

WELL PEOPLE LIE WHEN THEY SAY BEING TRUTHFUL IS THE ONLY WAY IN A RELATIONSHIP.  JUST AS YOU HAVE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY.  WHY WAS YOUR GIRL TRIPPING?  CUZ SHE'S INSECURE ABOUT HERSELF AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP.  WHAT KIND OF IDIOT QUESTION IS THAT "DO YOU THINK THAT GIRLS HOT?"  AND THEN TO GET PISSED OFF WHEN YOU DO FIND HER ATTRACTIVE!  STUPID!\n\nYOU'RE PROBABLY BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER.  SHE'S GOT ISSUES.  I MEAN YOU DON'T ASK A GUY THAT, NOT IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.  SEE WHAT YOU SHOULD OF DONE, WAS EITHER IGNORE THE STUPID QUESTION OR LIE AND SAY, BABY WHAT GIRL?  I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU!  THEN SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME THAT NIGHT!!!!!!!!\n\nSO LEARN FROM THIS OKAY. IF A GIRL EVER ASKS YOU AGAIN, DO YOU THINK THAT CHICK IS HOT?  WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY?  THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA LIE THRU YOUR TEETH AND MAKE HER FEEL BEAUTIFUL BY SAYING YOU ONLY HAVE EYES FOR HER.  SEE I'M ON YOUR SIDE, CUZ IT'S NOT LIKE YOU WERE DISRESPECTING HER BY LOOKING AT OTHER HOT CHICKS WHILE IN HER PRESENCE.  THEN I'D BE PISSED AT YOU FOR BEING AN A$$! WELL WHATCHA GONNA DO, SOME WOMEN ARE JUST SCREWED UP ALREADY.  SO YOU JUST MOVE ON AND REMEMBER MY ADVICE BUDDY.\n\nTAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND GOOD LUCK FINDING A CHICK WHO DOESN'T HAVE SO MANY ISSUES.

Sometimes guys are just trying to look cool and sometimes they try to look like they don't care so much.  Deep inside they are jealous though.  It's human nature.  They won't say it, but they will act on it.  Probably in a more shady way if not talk directly to the other guy.  But if they say they're not jealous, it's a total BS.

I too hate lies and believe people deserve more respect than to be lied too. Cause if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't appreciate it. Try not to over react though it could scare him away. Men lie cause they are too afraid of telling the truth cause they will look bad. It is good that you let him know that it affects you though. Cause in a relationship honesty is the best policy

YOU ARE IN A TOUGH SITUATION; HOWEVER, WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO KNOW.  YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THE SISTER MIGHT REACT SHE COULD EITHER BE MAD THAT YOU JUST BROKE THE NEWS TO HER, BUT LATER WHEN SHE DOES A LITTLE EXPLORING THE FACTS ON HER OWN I WOULD IMAGINE SHE WILL THINK YOU.  I HAVE A FRIEND OF MINE THAT NEVER TOLD HER OTHER FRIEND THAT HER BOYFRIEND TRIED TO COME OVER FOR A BOOTY CALL.  MY FRIEND TURNED THE GUY DOWN AND CHOSE TO KEEP THIS INFO TO HERSELF. A FEW MONTHS LATER SOMEONE ELSE TOLD THE OTHER FRIEND AND THE TWO USE TO BE FRIENDS HAVE NEVER TALKED SINCE, IF SHE REALLY MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU WOULD BE BETRAYING HER IF YOU JUST LET THIS GUY TREAT HER LIKE THAT. WE ALL NEED PEOPLE TO WATCH OUT FOR US AND IF MY RELATIONSHIP WAS IN JEOPRODY WITH A FRIEND FOR TELLING ME THE TRUTH I WOULD COME TO MY SENSES EVENTUALLY.

I'd sit them down and tell them what you thought. ( Make sure you tell them that you mean no offense for whatever it is that you're going to say first.) Tell them that you don't like what this guy is doing to her. Try and figure out exactly why it is that she's acting like that, it could be that she's trying to change for him or she may feel that she's better then everyone else now that she's with him.If it's the first then tell her that she doesn't need to or should act like that for anyone. If it's the other then you should make it clear to her that being with this guy doesn't make her any better, she still is who she is and being with someone, no matter who it is, doesn't make a difference. If you have to you could also try talking to her boyfriend see what he thinks.

They feel insecure and inferior of themselves. Or maybe their gfs are those type that fools around with other guyz thus they don't trust them ;)

It's impossible to never lie.  The idea that total honesty makes you a good person is false.  If your best freind is dating someone that they are extremely happy with, and this friend asks if you agree that their new love is attractive, what do you say if the answer is "no"?  You lie!  Your friend isn't taking a survey, they're just looking for affirmation of their happiness.  If we were all made with built-in lie detectors we would all hate each other.  Being a good person isn't about telling the truth all the time.
