3 Reasons why men lie to women.
Guys and lies – it often seems like the two are inextricably linked!
Men, even the good ones, seem to be unable to stick to the truth.
Whether it’s about little things that don’t even really matter, or the important issues in your relationship that depend on an honest conversation…
You know he often hides behind anything from little white lies to whoppers of epic proportions!
Here’s the truth: men lie to the women they love and they lie often.
But why can’t they simply tell the truth?
There are 3 main reasons that men lie to the women in their lives…
Understanding each of them is the key to getting your man to open up so your relationship can be built on honesty and integrity, instead of suspicion and deceit!
The First Reason Behind His Lies
Sometimes men lie to women because they don’t think you want to hear the truth.
Have you ever asked, “Do I look fat in this?”
These sorts of questions have convinced men that there are too many potential traps in responding honestly.
Rather than navigate them, it’s easier to simply tell you what they think you want to hear.
The Second Reason Behind His Lies
Sometimes men lie to women because they think if they tell you the truth, you simply won’t like them as much.
If you ask, “What are you thinking about?” you’re likely to get a very fast response like this one: “Uh…nothing, honey.”
The Third (and Biggest) Reason Behind His Lies
But the third reason men lie to women is the one that shocks women the most…
One of the biggest reasons men lie to women is because men are terrified of women and their emotions!
It might sound weird, but emotions are actually a lot harder for guys to deal with and to recover from.
According to Dr. John Gottman of the University of Washington, women can both enter and recover from extreme emotional states a lot faster and easier than guys can.
If you think about it, it makes sense.
We’ve all seen a woman burst into tears one moment, only to be totally fine a minute or two later.
But when it comes to emotions, guys are a lot more fragile.
What do you think? Could this information be used to change behaviour and make a difference?

Do women lie to men?
I think you’re right about why men lie to us, I know there have been times William didn’t tell me the truth (or at least the whole truth) and I’m sure it was because he didn’t want to deal with my opinion ( I tend to react strongly when I catch him in something,let me add here, so far I’ve not caught him in anything relationship changing, but he’s a guy, so…) what I can’t seem to get across to him is, if he told me the truth up front, I would not be nearly as upset,
As for me telling him lies? I don’t lie to him, however, there are things I just don’t tell him, partly because he expects me to be the ‘stronger’ one in our relationship and just deal with things (and I do), however, again he is a guy and tends to not pay full attention, so telling him something important is sometimes like potty training a puppy, we have to go over it several times before he gets it, so again I often end up just dealing with things the best way I can,
So in many ways, I am the stronger one in the relationship, I’m curious, why you think women lie to men, hope you do a post on it.
We are interesting creatures, eh! The reason I mentioned women lying to men was to even the playing field. Firstly I believe that our upbringing and conditioning encourages us all to lie, we are expected to tell little white lies for all sorts of reasons.
Then, talking about the male/female connection….what about the ‘I’ve got a headache’, faking orgasms, ‘it only cost…’, ‘yes dear’. I don’t think women lie as often or as ‘big’…..men have their ego and position to protect.
I think the more our society accepts equality between the sexes, men won’t have to live up to ‘being the man’. Another thought…..what if we stopped making men wrong!? This one worked a treat for me.
