Features Common Lies Men Tell Lying has become a common phenomenon in recent times, and no one can deny the fact that they lie sometimes, either to save themselves from awkward or embarrassing situations, make someone feel better or worse about themselves, or just to obtain favor . Frankly, lying has become one of the defining characteristics of human nature. Although it might be difficult for some people to relate to this, I believe that lying is a two sided coin and can be both good and bad, depending on the situation one finds oneself at any point in time. Now let's be clear, even though lying may have saved you from a really bad situation, and smoothened out a potential dispute, a lie is a lie. Lying can quickly make things significantly Ø I have developed a soft Ø spot for you Ø Ø With you, it's not just about sex Ø Ø I promise, I won't touch you if you come over Ø Ø She means nothing to me Ø Ø I love you Ø Tell me, it won't change Ø anything Ø Ø I promise I won't hurt you Ø Ø Nothing happened Ø Ø I only have eyes for you Ø I miss you too Ø I thought about you all day Ø Ø I want to take things slow Ø messy and bad for anyone at all. It's best to heed the bible's position “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”. It is rather sad but true that men of our generation have taken lying to another level, they lie spontaneously and are ever on the defensive. They lie to make their spouses feel good about themselves, find a way out of a relationship which is no longer beneficial to them or as a shield from a very bad scene or just to keep their relationships going. For them, these are the so-called harmless white lies they employ to rectify a problem or do damage control or to just have their way. I am quite sure that ladies often wonder why men are such unrepentant liars, the answer I have no reason to lie to you I've never been like this with another girl You're the first girl I am saying this to You're the best sex I've ever had I don't know why she keeps calling me I'm sorry I've not had sex in months I was driving when you called I'm going out to watch champions league finals with my boys I'm a changed person My boss wants me to work this isn't far fetched here it is; the number one reason why men repeatedly lie to women is to help them maintain their delusional fantasies of the 'ideal man'This makes it hard for women to stay angry at them for too long and to be frank, a whole lot of women would rather believe the lies than deal with the truth. After all said, I have made a list of what I consider the most common and frequently lies men tell. weekend Ø I'm not trying to get in your pants, I just want your company Ø I've been busy, that's why you've not heard from me Ø I'm trying to break up with her so you and I can be together Ø I prefer you on your natural hair Ø You look better without make up Ø I don't have feelings for her, she's just my best friend Ø Sex wasn't the only thing on my mind when I met you Ø Having sex on our first date won't make me think any less of you It goes on and on… Ladies be conscious of these lie and do not allow yourself to be manipulated and blown away by them.
