guys(people) lie for different reasons:

1, they lack self confidence so they bouy up their images with grandiose tales.

2, they need to impress someone. so you hear things like my father owns this or that

3, they need to feel pretty important (not that they don't have confidence) so they drop names like i was just talking to baba iyabo

4, they want to play fast one. so they tell a girl they will take her abroad when they don't even know the way to the airport. once the girl is creamed, they disappear

5, they want to get out of a tight corner. tell the girl i will call back, i will take her out, bla bla bla (i am guilty of that)

6, they are just plain f**king liars. they will greet u good afternoon in the morning!

7, they are nut cases. they actually believe their own lies!

no one can force u too lie. it is so easy to create a false sense of importance in false tales but u must be smart to remember them all. if u believe u r good and special (especially to God) then there is no reason to lie about your backgrounds.

and the babes? they love good story tellers. they want to be seen with happening dude. that is why they always fall into the hands of 419 who lie to sleep with them. any girl that is too materialistic to see beyond the stories should v herself to blame.

the best way to bouy up your self confidence is to be good in whatever you do. people will respect achievers even if you are poor now, they will still respect you and babes will fall (in all ways) for u Grin. if u r in skul, read to be the best, if u r working, be the best in ur office. if u r in church, be good in prayers and bible (heard fasting is tough) and if u still want to lie, make sure u v the best stories and u r not caught...

First, not all guys lie, so let's drop all that crap about all guys lying.
Second, some girls are too materialistic and so wants to associate with the rich and happening guys in town so, the guy would have to make up some flambouyant stories to please her.

Lastly, some of these guys do it to raise their shoulders even when a babe is not involved. Just for some form of overshooted recognition.

I would never lie to get any girl, even if she's the prettiest in the world. What guarantees that the relationship will offer my satisfaction either in the short run or long run? Would I have the face to stand when the balloon gets bursted? Undecided

Hahahahahahahaha, this is so funny..............To be honest, its not only men that lie.  Whilst i was in boarding school in Nigeria, quiet a few of the girls lied about their lives, infact one went as far as denying her father simply because he came to visit her with a Ghana must-go bag!!!! I know it sounds ridiculous but some of the girls i went to school with always made up stories just to gain popularity.  I remember another girl claiming that during a party in their house all the taps where pouring out with Coca-cola, Fanta to mention but a few; reason for this? she said they didn't want to bother getting the bottles when people could just take them straight out of the taps..............hahahahahahahaha!

The issue of men and lies opens a can of worms to be honest. People should not lie about what their father has/doenst have. Haba! Nah you gif ya papa money? Why are you claiming his wealth? What do YOU have?

People who date people simply because of their social standing, deserve to be lied to! Nah God catch them.

You guys talk about men lying about petty things. Lying that you live in VI when you infact live in Maroko is stupid. It so very stupid, because it's a lie you can only get away with for so long. How can one even tell such a stupid lie.

Is there a forum on Why do men cheat? That's what I want to talk about.
Why do married men prey on single girls? Why do people cheat on their partners and call it 'back up'. What happened to monogamy and trust in a relationship.. that's the sort of lie and deceit I want to talk about.

I suppose you're right; its like an everyday thing for men, lying comes easy for them i guess.  Do you know that i once dated a guy for a year not knowing that he had a girl he had been dating for two years.................madness abi?? He was an excellent liar, always had an answer for every question.

Yeah, i guess its something some of them find easy to do...........what about the guys in Nigeria? they crack me up!!!! its like they say all kinds of BS just to impress a girl.....My father ownes this and my father ownes that, if that is the case, i might as well go out with your father and not you...............Men need to learn that lying simply doesn't pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Let me tell you a story.
I have a friend who´s presently 5months pregnant.She has a boyfriend(that father of her baby)who beats her up all the time,cheats on her and makes her know "he´s not the marrying kind`.She sticks with him because(according to her)she has financial freedom with him though it doesn't stop her from sleeping around with her so called rich friends...whom she sometimes describes to me as her "uncles"!
My friend is the most materialistic human being i have ever met.She has snatched about 3 potential boyfriends from me and till date she has never met my present boyfriend one on one(lets just say i think its safer that way!)
2 weeks ago at my mum´s birthday party,she met a friend of mine from school.He graduated recently and hasn't even done his nysc but he told her he owned an insurance company.True to it though,his parents are very rich,they actually own an insurance company and have a fleet of fancy cars....He used to change cars each time he went looking for her.I knew what was happening but i didn't bother to tell her what was going on because i know the kind of person she is.He eventually slept with her even thought she was pregnant!
The point am trying to make is that some guys lie because the know what some girlswant to hear and they feed it to them!

Hahahahahahahaha, nice one..........so she is still with this guy who she thinks is loaded and all that.........I know what you mean about guys lying because they are forced to do so, but it still does not justify the lies does it? So would the guy stick his hands in fire simply because he is trying to impress a girl? Nope i don't think so...........Its best when people like you for you and not for what you can offer them.

Re: Why Do Men Lie?
« #57 on: January 10, 2006, 04:41 PM »

True,it doesn't justify lying but some girls just wont see it that way.For instance,when my male friend started chatting up this my female friend at my mom´s party,she paid him no heed till she went outside and saw his 2005 infinity jeep! Roll Eyes
And most times she tells me am crazy to date a student in law school who can't take care of me!Yer right!I would rather date that law school undergraduate than a woman beating mummy´s boy!

« #58 on: January 10, 2006, 04:45 PM »

True, i totally get your point but i still find it hard to see the justification in men lying........Anyways, i've got friends that are exactly the same, its all about how big your wallet is, what your last name is and what area you reside in.........Guess some girls are partly to blame for all these right?

Yes some girls are to blame for it.On the other hand though,some guys are just born liars!I have had my fair share of those..... Roll Eyes

I was finding it difficult getting dates when I was saying the truth and trying to impress ladies..but this 2006, it might sound like a lie too but I have dated 5 girls in just this past week.

Last Monday in long Island New York - Spanish girl (working partime)
Tuesday - Government worker (black girl) - Brooklyn NY
Wednesday - One white girl (jewish girl) in mahattan NY
Thursday - One black girl in queens
Friday - With a girl I meet in this nairaland living in NY..I will not mention name...

It is a good year for me, once i start saying the truth or try to impress them, i will loose all the girls..

Guys keep lieing.

The paramount reason why guys lie is because that's all what you girl are expecting. You never want to believe who is saying the truth.
I don't lie to get a girl though, i will tell you my stand and everything about me that is true, if you accept me, fine, if you don't, life goes on. Period

who among you girls ever said yes to a guy that told you he's poorer than a church rate? even if you say yes won't your friends think you're crazy to have answered to such a toast? anyways i don't even bother to tell a girl what i have or what i don't have. i only tell them what i want from them and if it's how rich i am that concerns her most, she can start her investigations. the mistake guys make is bringing wealth into a simple 'shall we date'?

as for the girls, you have no boobs, you went to pad it up with some rubbish padded bra, is that not a lie to guys as well?  Tongue
