| Who lies more?? Men or Women?
Posted: 3/31/2006 5:19:36 PM | I think both men and women lie but for different reasons.
I think more women tend to lie over things in order to spare another's feelings while a man lies to protect himself.
Its just been my experience that rather than lie, women will get passive aggressive and are good at turning tables especially on a man. Its much harder for them to get away with the behavior with other women.
Men I have found will lie over stupid things that if they tell the truth, there would be no big deal. Like ask them why they were so late and you get this big long speal about the car breaking down blah blah blah when they were out drinking with their friends.
Rather than get in a conflict (even if you don't care if they were out drinking with friends as long as they were safe) they will lie.
I don't tolerate lying well. I consider myself a pretty easy going person so there is no reason to lie to me. If you are conducting yourself in a way that is respectful, again, no reason to lie. If you aren't, I will find out (we always do) and will be far more pissed not to mention lose a whole lot of respect for the person. It wouldn't take catching someone in too many lies for me to leave a relationship. | |

There is probably fear or nervousness underlying, which doesnt necessarily mean this person lies frequently. :) | |

men are probally the bigger liers because we tend to keep things hidden ,,where most women are talkers,and cant keep things quiet  | |

Casper, it is pretty obvious that someone has broke your heart lately (or something like that), but enough with the woman bashing on every thread already.
women are no worse than men and men are no better than women | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 3:11:13 PM | there is no way of comparing who lies more. some people are liers, and some are not. I for example told my recently ex g/f that i never cheat or fool around and she said the same. however she was caught by me kissing a perfect stranger in a club, I was standing right behind her, she said the next day (i was drunk and couldnt remember it)lol, then she stated why are you so upset it was a kiss and he wasnt that good looking anyway..........
so how did she remember what he looked like then? well water under the bridge anyway.
my piont being you can only worry about your own honesty, you can't worry about if they lie or not youll go nuts.
I am no longer dating as I am trying to get my crap together (money and a car etc). and maybe Ill find an honest person who'll be truthful and respect me as a person, thats the goal everyone should have anyway, as I see it. | |

Posted: 5/12/2006 3:35:55 AM | I think they probably lie the same. Its the individual you have to look at, not the gender.
I used to know a girl who made sure she took off her wedding ring when she went out to bars because she got an ego boost when guys bought her drinks (they wouldn't do it with the ring on).
I've known women to say to men how rocky their relationship was (when the their spouse was completely oblivious to it). I've seen this one MANY times with women. Is it lying? Its definately not right. They are lining up another so there is no down time relationship wyse. When they find a new interested, they'll drop the old one like a hot potato.
I'm sure guys do this too its more just to point out that women can behave just as badly. | |

Impartial stepping in. Yes, I see the women bashing as well in your posts Casper. We are not evil and we come in many shades of personality. I don't know of many women who would be exactly thrilled to be around the attitude.
Just being honest. | |

Posted: 6/1/2006 8:58:57 AM | I think we are about equal.. but i do agree men lie about little things that if they were just to tell the truth it would get them in less trouble. But us women well myelf anyways tell more extravagant lies..hahah
Lies are fine when they dont hurt anyone..keeps you on your toes..i dont know..I like telling little white lies once in awhile give ya a little rush or something..hahahah Maybe i just need more excitement in my life. | |

Agreed, for sure!
There was this guy I was seeing recently. Always saying how honest and faithful he was, etc. So, after getting to know him, the inconsistencies started appearing. One night in particular, I caught him in three major lies (not just tiny ones, but serious character questioning ones). When I asked him about it, he tried telling more lies to cover the ones he'd just been caught in. It was getting to the point where (we were on the phone) it was so unreal how badly he was trying to cover his tracks, I burst into laughter. That was the last time I would ever speak with him, he texted and stalked me for weeks after that trying to clear his name. But sorry, I don't have time to rationalize and listen to the manipulations of a tried and true liar, lol. | |

Posted: 6/1/2006 12:57:48 PM | I have found that the more someone insists that they are honest and trustworthy, the more likely they are to be compulsive liars. If you are honest, people will figure that out by your actions, seeing that you actually do what you say, and you won't have to go around proclaiming your trustworthyness.
I had a recent experience with this. Someone I work with borrowed some money from me. She made countless assertions that she would pay me back as soon as possible. She went on about how she couldn't stand owing people money and couldn't understand why people don't repay their debts. It's been more than a year and-a-half and I still don't have my money back and probably won't get it back. Live and learn. By the way, I think the gender of a person has nothing to do with the potential for someone to lie. I think the lies told to us by members of the opposite sex, especially those with whom we have a relationship, just tend to sting more because of the trust we put in them. | |

Posted: 6/1/2006 2:53:49 PM |  yep some look for nothing but lies as well, tho however if you look for evidence long enough you'll rationalize anything as a lie ,I have given up on dating just for that reason. I dont want to be with anyone now because I just dont have the heart for it.(it was taken CRUSHED). My ex said we were not together ,but told me i was a lier for flirting with other women... I really dont get it. so, Im just looking for friends to talk to, with absolutely no relationship expectations. just people i can talk to as I have no one to talk to.and if im not into dating then I can't be pegged as a lier either. (and NO IM NOT LOOKING FOR SEX EITHER!!!!) lmfao it just complicates things. but as far as liers... people will justify lying on both sides.male and female. its their karma that they're shitting on. so dont get caught up in it. | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 7:42:03 AM | | Does it really matter who lies more? or does it depend on the lie, some lies are created to get personal gains for the liar, another lie is to protect someone and the last lie would be to try to impress someone. | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 5:06:14 AM | Women i think will stare you in the face and lie, men knowing they have no where to turn make the best of a shitty situation and try to avoid the issue and make up later. Phunny how we think of each other, and mostly from previous experiences.  | |
