Who are more likely to lie men or women?

[Snoopy]

I voted Men.

But was I lying?

Is this post a lie?

this is the lounge my brother....but you gotta take into consideration self fullfilling prophecy....what is it you are curretnly putting into the ethers?

Or

Will I be happy if my current thoughts manifest into reality right now?

Benjamin Disraeli quote: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." (Most often attributed to Mark Twain....but as Ben predates him by twenty years and Sam was well read and a journalist...I'm betting on Benny)

What I think is interesting is the type of liars....the ones that lie to look good, the ones that lie to keep from looking bad, the ones that lie when cornered, the ones that lie for advantage, the ones that lie as participation, the ones that lie for embellishment, and those that just always lie...and to such and extreme that it is obvious to everyone, all the time, and they continue...the habitual...

Its not so much that they lie more its that they believe they're right more, even though there could be a smidging of evidence that they may be wrong.

Women make up stuff like pretending there's someone at the door to get rid of someone on the phone and suchlike.

But men can continue to drive around in circles without asking directions because it will make them look bad. And then when it gets to starting rows (and wars) and stuff and not wanting to look bad and admit they were wrong and sh*t.

And don't talk to me about who makes a bigger deal of being sick and wanting soup in bed and sympathy...

I may generalise as I do believe there are many shades inbetween

I assumed you were a woman (not that it matters, at least in the context of this website...OK I'll stop there) because of all the sky in your avatar! I wonder if it's true of Ciel?

Well my mum is this type. But i'm really not sure if she knows it or not....which is strange. At the dinner table with relatives etc she will embellish to the point that I am cringing in my seat, then she'l ask me to confirm the truth of it to the listners!!! At which point I'm drawn into being a liar too!!

I have told a lot of lies down the years. Why? I dont know. All of the reasons you state probably at one time or another. But also I have been honest on many an occasion and that has resulted in nothing but strife. I think lies are a safety valve in many cases. But there are some huge lies that deserve to be outed.

Francis states that 1:3 interactions contain falsehoods. 1:10 children born do not have the DNA of their recorded Father. 1:1 Politicians lie publicly. We see lies and hypocrisy from as soon as we are aware of these concepts and it is no small wonder they permeate into every one of us. But to assign sexual dominance to this is impossible and a lie! It is interesting to note even here how the sexes line up on it tho.

I read it thus: The males have a fundamental need to associate woman with 'mother' and the slightest mistrust is of huge emotional significance. The females know that everybody lies and feign a contempt for 'male' lies as childish. There is more of a resigned acceptance that men will lie....sort of.

I have in recent years made a conscious effort to lie less. Tho I have found invariably that one cannot cease lying to ones lover!! That is how to commit relationship suicide!!

Do these pants make me look fat?

Women set men lie on that one.

Its all we can afford honey, do you like it?

Men set women up to lie on this one.

You are exactly correct.

Keeping track of lies is enough to make one quit, or the lies one has to create to keep th lies going.

Just fess up early and take whatever it is....always less than whatever it will be when you are caught.

That's my lie and I'm stickin to it!

This poll could be unfair though, I reckon less women are visiting this thread compared to men.

One thought is, we're genetically ahead of women in the food chain so we have less reasons to lie Men don't even make an effort to lie, we will do the bad deed and admit it

[Caimanson]

I don't know who lies more, but apparently I read somewhere (or was it TV?) that women are better at concealing their cheating, and much better at telling if their man is cheating on them as well.
Men can't win, he, he.

Everyone's posts?

Dave. (that's one).

What is the order here? What if you start with a lie? In all probability will the next two things that Snoopy says be honest? (in less your name is Dave, and then you have one of each left. )

explanation- In comic strip when Snoopy found something hilarious, he fell off his doghouse. I guess it isn't exactly common knowledge.

Yeah, now did you ever find Charlie, Snoopy, Shroeder, Woodstock or Needles, or Linus to lie?? But Lucy and Sally and that red-headed girl...all the time!

Is this an indication that men don't lie or that male comic book characters created by male chauvinists don't? Or that this male reader has selective memory and tends to remember all the dirty tricks pulled by those women and conveniently forgets indiscretions by their male counterparts?

And why has my appreciation of comic strips wained?
