Ladies, How many times have you caught your man in some type of lie?
Go ahead and think of the number in your head.
Hi viewers and welcome back to bestie!
There are many reasons why men lie to the opposite sex, one of the main reasons is to
avoid confrontation.
In fact, a new study showed that men are twice as likely as women to consider themselves
good at lying and getting away with it.
Whatever the reason maybe, they have a wide arsenal of little white lies that keep them
from being sent to the couch with a blanket and pillow.
So What kind of lies are most commonly used by men?
To find out, keep watching today’s video.
From lying about sports,how great you look, how many partners they’ve had, not wanting
to deal with a situation to liking your friends, we are talking all that and more.
Everything's OK: Even when your partner is clearly worried, he may not tell you what's
bugging him.
This is because men prefer to solve their own problems.
You should respond with something like 'It seems like there's something on your mind.
Are you sure there's nothing at all bothering you?'.
Your partner may not share everything then, but he'll be more likely to open up about
one of his troubles.
Do you share your troubles with your partner?
Are there things that you find easier to hide rather than talk about it with them?

How Many Partners They’ve Had: Let's be real, for most of us, intimacy can be a sensitive
topic.
Men often correlate their manhood by how well they think they please their partners.
So, in return, men might feel the need to fluff their experience by lying about how
many partners they've had.
This is because they might want to be seen as an experienced lover.
Being Afraid Their significant other Is Going To Leave Them: Some men have abandonment issues.
They would rather refrain from telling the truth to take control of a situation, than
communicate about their emotions.
There's a story behind the lies.
Lies come from fear, fear of hurting or being hurt.
Maybe their current partner is totally trustworthy and understanding.
But men don't know that.
They only know that their previous partners have left because of this, so what gets triggered
is the fear of abandonment.
It may go back to old partners or even back to childhood.
She is not that pretty: This implies that she is definitely pretty.
Even in the company of their wife or girlfriends, men often ogle at other women.
And when their partners ask them, they just reply “she is not that pretty”.
Well, the majority of the women believe in their sweet talks but there are some smart
ones who understand that they are not being given the due attention from their boyfriends
or husband.
Sports: Men might not love sports whether it involves watching the game on television
or playing a sport themselves.
They lie to women about how good they are at sports until they are asked to prove it.
They think it is not manly to be satisfied with just sitting on the bench or on the couch.
So, they lie about how good they used to be when they were in high school or college.
Not Wanting To Deal With A Situation: It's no surprise that women and men sometimes think
differently.
And when it comes to a particular issue, they might not see eye to eye.
So rather than going through the stress of communicating about it with their partner,
some men might withhold the information and choose to talk about it at a later time when
they're ready to do so.
More often than not, men lie not because they think something is bad, but because they expect
their partners will be hurt or get angry.
In fact, they might increase demands on time and ask them to justify something that they
do not believe is innately wrong.
You look great, now let's go: You want to look your best for a party you're headed to.
You know that perfection takes time, but your man is more concerned about showing up late
than anything else.
At this point it doesn't matter what you look like, as long as it speeds up the process
of getting out of the house.
This is more so a white lie than anything, because he probably thinks you look great
no matter what.
Being Lost While Driving: It is so true that men don't like to admit they are lost when
driving.
Men have been known to go around in circles and hundreds of miles out of their way rather
than to stop and ask for directions.
Dating experts say it makes a man feel incompetent or inadequate to admit that he is lost especially
if a woman is sitting in the passenger seat.
Showing Their True Selves: Most women and men want a partner who is honest and vulnerable.
They want to share experiences with them rather than go through life pretending everything
is OK.
In today's society, men might be afraid to be honest with their partners about their
emotions because they don't want to feel judged for not being strong enough or too clingy.
In reality, most men want to find a true connection with a partner and sometimes, that requires
both members to be vulnerable.
Underneath your lying partner is a human carrying beliefs based on their own past experience.
They have beliefs that determine whether or not it is okay to be their full real self
in the presence of another person.
I’m On my way: Guys usually throw you this line when you’re making them meet you at
some event they don’t want to attend – like, say, your family reunion.
He’s stalling, but he’s also being pouty.
Consider this: He can’t exactly refuse to go without enduring serious repercussions
from you, and he can’t very well throw a temper tantrum in front of your family.
So saying this and then showing up late is his way of gaining a wee amount of control.
I graduated top of my class: This is a classic case of the runaway male ego, designed to
present a man in the best light and impress a woman.
When the lies continue into marriage, it’s not long before the truth will out.
Men have a hard time admitting failure.
How our culture defines success is important to a man, so he assumes it’s important to
his partner.
Normally, as trust builds, a man drops these types of lies.
If he doesn’t, his partner needs to be careful.
In fact, In one study, researchers asked 110 students to look at 88 deceptive tactics.
These included things like inflating one’s accomplishments, wearing designer clothes
to appear wealthy.
They then asked the students to reveal how often they were used in their own relationships.
Men were significantly more likely than women to use such deceptions.
Of course I like your friends: It's rare for a guy to like all your friends.
He might get along with some, sure, but there's always one that just drives him crazy.
For the record, it may be something bigger than the fact that her voice annoys him.
Your guy might think she's manipulative toward you, or sees that she's stingy when you all
go out so you always pay for her.
But he's not going to say that.
He's going to wait for you to say something about her first.
I have no idea why my ex is texting me: It's because they're still in semi regular touch.
In fact, she might just be replying to his text from earlier.
That might not be a big deal to you or it might.
It's best to have that sort of conversation earlier rather than later in the relationship
to find out who she is, when the break-up happened, and why, before you get too comfy
with them being in regular contact.
You're so much hotter than all the other girls I know: Over the course of decades your guy
has known a lot of women.
School teachers, camp counselors, neighbor moms, classmates, girlfriends, bosses, employees,
and then there's that one time he met Scarlett Johansson in his head.
You are hot, and I'm sure he thinks that, but there's someone he knows who is hotter.
I want to take things slow: Most men are known to go for what they want, when they see it.
When you meet a guy and he tells you he wants to take things slow, basically, he is not
ready to commit himself to you.
Maybe all he wants is a girl who can make love to him after a stressful day at the office,
or someone he can take with to some of those important events.
For ladies who are ready for commitment, avoid the men who want to take things slow.
Is your partner not ready to commit even after years of dating?
Here’s a video titled “7 Signs Your Man Doesn’t Love You Anymore” to help you
identify signs that your partner isn’t into you anymore.
Now back to Lies men tell women.
Sorry, I missed your call: They may also say, "My phone battery died," or that the phone
"had no signal".
All these three mean the same thing - I saw the phone, but want you to back off a bit.
Every man needs a little alone time, and ends up feeding you such lines because he's afraid
to tell you this truth straight-up.
You might want to ease up on things a little and let him miss you first.
