We all lie irrespective of gender, but some experts claim that men lie more than women. Of course, other experts claim the opposite. But, since we are talking of men here, lets just focus on them and the reasons why they lie. There is at least one reason for which men lie across the spectrum. Even if the man has a supposed good image of being a honest person, you just can't trust men when it comes to this. The thing I am talking about, of course, is sex. Well, haven't you come across men who would say anything to get laid. You have right? They just would lie between their teeth and they just don't care if the lies are oh so obvious and apparent.

Sometimes, the lies are just so ridiculous - you can definitely get a good laugh out of them. But, as dumb as their lies might be - some women do fall for it. Reason why they keep trying their luck with lousy lies. When a man says, "you are the most beautiful woman I've met," - do you really believe him?? You'd like to and its good to hear - but more often than not, they don't really mean it - especially if their ultimate intention is to get lucky. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if sex turned out to be the number one reason for lying among men.

Sometimes, men just lie because they have a false sense of ego and they hate admitting that they don't know!! Do you expect statements like, "I don't know how to do that," from them?? They like to pretend that they know all. They would like to fix things - even if they don't know how to go about it. Saying "I don't know" is just not an option. If you ask them, "do you know how to do that?" - even if they don't know - they would tell you - Yes. Men can drive around hours before asking for directions. Of course, asking someone is an affront to their ability as a man. They like to pretend they know better.

Another reason why men lie is to avoid conflicts. If they know they would have to argue with their spouse/girlfriend/boss, etc, they'd rather lie and avoid that potential conflict situation. Men lie online all the time. They pretend on the Internet that they are someone they really are not. Why? Because, they can get away with it. They'd like to believe no one is watching them and they are perfectly safe assuming various forms online. Would men ever admit as to what they really do online?? Men love the anonymity of the online situation and they love lying about their activities online because no one can really question them without providing hard evidence of their doubtful activities.

Well, now that we know a few reasons why men lie - the more important question would be if you can catch men lying. I always watch for body language. Folded arms across his chest are a good indication that the man is lying. Also, they don't make good eye contact when they are lying. To summarize, men are right at home lying. It almost seems to come naturally to them. They have almost perfected it to an art form. You almost have a grudging appreciation of how fully they've mastered the art of lying.
