Top 10 Lies Men Tell Women by SisiKill1: 3:05am On Jul 02, 2012 |
I didn't write it oh, I was just walking jejely, minding my own business when out of nowhere this laptop landed on my lap and before I could say "what the wha". . .I saw THIS Top 10 Lies Men Tell Women The average dude fabricates something six times a day-that's twice as often as women(Hmmmm, inneressing )-and with #LiesMenTellWomen trending on Twitter right now, some dudes are being called out. To try to get why guys are so crafty, we reached out to male relationship experts. Here are the most common whoppers men tell their girlfriends and wives-and what the real deal is behind each. Lie # 10: "I'm Stuck in Traffic" "He figures it's much easier to just say this than to try to explain the real reason he's running late," says John Amodeo, author of The Authentic Heart. "Remember, men aren't as good at communicating as women are." The funny thing is, a guy will toss this line out even if what held him up is perfectly legitimate. Still, you shouldn't let it slide - it's a lie nonetheless. Lie # 9: "It Wasn't That Expensive" "Men like toys, and they don't like sensing your disapproval, even if you don't share a bank account," Amodeo says. He could also be dropping this fib to try to prove he's responsible with money, says Barton Goldsmith, author of Emotional Fitness for Intimacy. "He doesn't want you to think that if you do share funds down the line, he's going to blow them all on things like plasma TVs." Lie # 8: "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: 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 pop-pop. So saying this and then showing up late is his way of gaining a wee amount of control. Lie # 7:"I Didn't Have Too Much to Drink" This lie could point to a serious problem - and we're not just talking about your relationship. If he says it often he could have an alcohol issue, Goldsmith says. You need to talk to him about how concerned you are, but watch the timing. "That's definitely a conversation you need to have when he's sober," Amodeo adds. Lie # 6: "Sorry, I Missed Your Call," Lie # 5: "My Battery Died," and Lie # 4: "I Had No Signal" These three lines all mean the same thing: I screened your call. Why? "Often men will feed you these lies because they're afraid to tell you to back off a bit, that they need a little alone time," Amodeo says. You might want to ease up on the checking in and let him miss you more. Lie # 3: "No, Your Butt Doesn't Look Big in That" Look, if you assail him with the question in the first place, you're really just asking to be thrown this all-purpose mollifier. "Every guy has a buddy who's told him, 'I answered this question wrong once, and my girlfriend wouldn't have sex with me for a year,' " Goldsmith says. This is the one safe response he knows, so there's no way he's going to risk the worst by straying from it. If you want an honest opinion, go ask one of your girls instead. Lie # 2:"This Will Be My Last Beer" Our experts say this man-lie delivered over the phone means he wants to get you off ASAP so he can spend more time with his buddies. The thing is, even if he says it three times in a night, each time he believes it, Goldsmith says. It's like when you vow this will be your last cookie…five times in a row. Lie # 1: "Nothing's Wrong, I'm Fine" A whopping 52 percent of men have told their girlfriend this line. According to experts, this go-to fib is all about avoiding drama and protecting male pride. Men know they're not as good with articulating what's happening or how they're feeling, so it's easier for them to just keep you out of the situation. Next time he uses this line, give him a couple days and then ask him again if he is still bummed…and why. By then he may have figured things out. 2 Likes |

I dont blame d OP for posting this on NL. But i blame d fast becoming senseless NL moderators for transferin this nonsense to d front-page. I'm observin that NL's front-page is fast becoming trivial, mundane n crappy. Wen NL has a major online competitor or rival, it gonna sit-up. For now this nonsense may be tolerated. 2 Likes |

When guys dnt wanna pick your call for any reason after work, it's easier to say: #sorry i was asleep, didn't hear the phone ring# ... But when gals are getting fucckd, they alwys say: #i'm sorry i was charging my phone inside the room, i was in the sitting room# OR #i was very tired, i put my phone in silence# ... When they want to piss u off for not buying that gen, they degrade themselves and say: #i was charging wit my next neighbour(whom they knew u knew was a single male) ... And when they want you fucck them, and they don't wanna start conversation on dt, they say: #you're not handsome jö# |

LIES BY WOMEN [size=10pt][/size] ”I have never nor would I ever cheat on you.” Do you remember that show on VH1, “Tough Love: Couples“? The number one cause of screaming fights? Cheating. Or, more specifically, lying about cheating. It’s not easy to tell someone when you’ve messed up; the fallout can be brutal. Remember: What you don’t know can spare you. ”I’ve slept with [X] guys.” Maybe she rounds up. Maybe she rounds down. Maybe she can’t remember. Whatever the case may be, more than a few women have lied about how many sexual partners they’ve had. Maybe she feels self-conscious. Maybe her number is higher than yours. To increase the likelihood she’ll tell the truth, make her confess first. “That was great.” Listen, nobody’s pointing fingers. Sometimes bad s3x is a no-fault proposition. But if it’s not good for her, it’s altogether possible she may not be enlightening you on that matter. Whether she’s just not that into it tonight or she’s just not that into you, it’s hard for some women to be frank about s3x, especially when the news isn’t good. Rely on her body language instead. 1 Like |
