Why do men lie?

Why do you think men lie to woman? Say they love them, try and say they'll never cheat on them, say they wouldn't hurt them... Why??

  • Not All

    Not every male is this way. There are many males who do, (and while I know I'm stereotyping)but usually the sensitive ones refrain from lying. I almost never lie to the girl I am with, unless of course it is for a specific defense, and for a very good reason (i.e. "No, I didn't spend THAT much on you for Christmas") Let us not forget, women lie too...just not as much as the majority of men.

  • generalizing

    i personally think that one should consider what a statement like this means. if you are going to say that men lie, make sure you mean ONE man not the entire gender. i could say that women love shoes, and spend men's money all the time and never drive well. i'm a male and i have lied but it is not because of my gender. Rather because i'm human. until it is proven that women are genetically honest then there will be no reason for either sex to feel the other is less honest.

  • everyone lies

    it's not a matter of men lying; it's the fact that people lie in different ways. some guys will outright lie, others won't. but it's more noticeable or categorical when guys do it, because (some) girls use MANY different forms of deceit that aren't necessarily labeled as a lie. for example, a lot of girls test guys to see what they can get out of them, and that's all that they have a use for for that guy. girls are just more manipulative and crafty than guys, but it's all still lying and deceit.

  • This is disgusting

    You are trying to make it sound like women are better than man. In many cases, women do lie a LOT more than men. Man: What did you do today? Women: [Innocently] Oh, nothing. * Thinks about how she is screwing her boss for a raise. *

    Or more to the point, maybe men lie because women talk too much. "Were you listening?" "Huh, what? Oh, yeah!" Hmmm?

  • Because...

    I believe they do this because they feel insecure about themselves. The ones who do it, ofcourse, which is like 99% of males. I believe they feel like they need to lie and or trick a female to make themselves feel like a man. To make there attitude look bigger and that they can treat anyone the way that they want to, which of course isn't the case. It gets better with age, normally, I think. But I think males like to be able to get what they want from a female then to just 'throw her' away... As I say not ALL males but a majority.

  • Not all Men do...

    Not all men do lie and i know some men who hate it when women say ALL men lie. Not all do. Women are no better than men are. We both lie and we all have our reasons,they may not be good ones but we all have them. Maybe we women lead some men in to lieing b/c we can be stuborn sometimes and i know we can and i apolozies to men. Well to make this easier to say and short Men lie b/c Women lie....

    WE LIE BEACUSE WE ARE HUMAN!!!

  • lying is unacceptable

    I dont think it really has to do with your sex, but rather then your decision-making process. Why lie? People who do things wrong would do well to admit to them quickly, get it done with and move on with their life. Women also lie, but from my experience, they usually lie in a nonverbal manner. Some seem to effortlessly fake an entire relationship and lead a man on, then never talk to him again. I'm sure men have done this too, so it has nothing to do with their sex, but their own choice.

    Here is an article I wrote on honesty:

  • Short answer

    Because women aren't emotionally stable enough to handle the truth. THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT! You show me a woman who says she can handle the stone cold truth over lying and I'll show you a woman that IS lying. Your moves ladies.

  • We all can.

    I say men and women are the same. Men are just pointed out more than women ...because women are better at it..and use the "Why do men lie" act to be even more manipulative. We are all stupid and hurtful...and there is no way around it. I say get over it.

  • A thought

    Honestly, The term equality holds no bearing in feministic views, (there defense: nor in society)what im trying to say is. Men & women lie, because men's may be more obvious as we arent as manipulative as women, it may seem we do it more frequantly, i dont know. but really, i dont think either party can say they dont manipulate/lie so we are both guilty. Im not going to bother attempting to explain why men lie, the same reasons women do. (mens OR womens lies could be more manipulative either way. . so shut up and vote yay on why i love you)

    Seems to me women lie just as much. It isn't a gender issue when it comes to lieing and misleading.

  • Men? what about women...

    You think men lie? Everything the female gender is built on a lie. Make up, clothes, hiding your age, not even being true to yourself of what YOU want, lying to yourself because you're a female.

    I don't think men have a problem with lying. Maybe when you drive him away from you constantly, I could see how he would cheat, but that's not lying, it's breaking a promise. It's women that lead a false life...

    men can lie just as much as as us woman can but, men only lie to get laid. woman lie because we want them to really love us back and sometimes we now they wont but we still like to think they will.

    because men are assholes. Ha ha ha, just joking. Everyone lies, if men do lie more, who cares. They must have a good reason. Unless they are cheating on their girlfriend, or if they have AIDS or something, then they should get their heads ripped off. Same goes for women.
