Interesting poll for you, I guess everyone lies but which sex is more likely to lie overall?

We are all liars.....

I would say it has nothing to do with sex, it is more to do with personality..... We all lie indeed, whoever tells you they have never told a lie........ is? Lying. But, I think certain types of personality will lie more than most.... Me for example.... I will gladly lie till the cows come home..... Am I telling you the truth? Mwaha.... If there is the slighteset chance for manipulation and self gratification.... I think most will.... (oooh no they won't!!!!!) Everyone has their price.......

In the US checking drivers licenses, most men lie about their height, most women about their weight and they do so about equally.

But the bigger question is what is a lie. Lillian Carter, President Jimmy Carter's mother was known to say that Jimmy never lied. However there is more to the story

Quote:

Doug Brinkley" There's that wonderful story of Miss Lillian when one reporter a woman from New York came down to Plains, and Miss Lillian greeted her and said, "Welcome to Plains. You know, it's so nice to see you. Would you like some lemonade? How was your journey, your dress is beautiful." You know, poring on the southern hospitality. And the reporter jumped right in on Miss Lillian and said, "Now Miss Lillian, your son is running for president saying he'll never tell a lie. As a mother, are you telling me he's never told a lie?" She goes, "Oh well Jimmy tells white lies all the time." And the reporter said, well tell me what, what do you mean? What is a white lie?" And Miss Lillian said, "Well, remember when I said, welcome to Plains and how good it is to see you? That's a white lie."

This is the lounge so for sake of comedy i'm going to be politically incorrect.

Women are a big lie right when you set your eyes on them. They lie about there face with makeup, they lie about there breast size with padding and surgery, they lie about there hight with high heels and above all they lie about the amount of partners they have had. And they expect men to tell the truth?!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!

Before you brand me a sexist pig (which I'm not), just going to say I'm quoting comical genius Chris Rock.

You sexist pig!!!

Please, no offense.

Men lie to themselves.
Women lie to men.

When it comes to sex, some men's thinking goes out the window. I don't like to say this, but sometimes guys can be pretty stupid.
I know so can women.

I guess everyone lies and everyone can be stupid.

We were talking about great minds and Monty Python, not sex.

And no, they do not lie all the time about sex or things relating to it. CAN lie!

Everyone's posts?

I'm saying men are likely to lie more than women.

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
