Are Women Better Liars...or are the men?
Many of us think that we are better liars. Mainly because most of us women have gotten away with a lie in our relationships at least a few times...and for some of us a little more! Ever thought that maybe your guy is lying to you? Most men would agree that they are better liars than women are, and the only person they feel they cannot lie to is their mother.

Do Men Think we Know when they lie to us?
Of course they don't. Most men agree that it is not only the simple things they lie about but sometimes they tell a lie to cover a lie. The complicated ones count! Watch out ladies! So what we are really interested in is...what they lie about.

What do men usually lie about compared to women?
Women most frequently lie about how much money they spend. Most women lie about how much they paid for a pair of boots, or we say that we bought it ages ago, while cutting the tags off and slipping it into the closet like its been there a while. Ever been guilty of hiding a receipt after going shopping because you don't want your man to know how much you paid for those beautiful shoes, or telling him you got that new handbag on sale?
Men on the other hand most frequently lie about where they were the night before, or how long they are going to be before returning home in the evening. Most men say they will be home at 11 and arrive at 12, or say they are on their last drink at the bar, but have just ordered two more rounds for the group. On the other hand trust your feelings if your man is always having to tell you a long complicated excuse for where he was last night you may want to have a more serious talk. The sirens are flashing ladies he may be lying.

How do Men Most Frequently Get away with their lies?
It is a well known fact that men do not discuss their issues in such a tight knit circle as women do, but they do share their problems with their fellow mates. It is very important to NEVER trust your man's friends. Most men will agree that it is their friends they can trust in a time of trouble or to cover their mistakes. Ladies don't be fooled! If you are cheating, his friend will most likely not keep it a secret either, he will report directly to your man.

Avoid the Lies
Remember the next time you find a complicated story about the night before hard to believe you may have a lie at hand. Try to communicate to your man that you would always prefer him to be honest with you. Never tell his friends a secret, because he will find out. Lastly remember not to trust your guy's friends. Always go to the source....your man. And ladies try to cut down on those unnecessary shopping binges we all go on.
