According to statistics, 87% of people lie to each other every hour. At the same time, men lie three times more often than women.
Recent research outlines the main reasons why men cheat:
- Hidden sympathy for another woman - 51%
- Under the influence of alcohol - 26%
- Due to an unexpected change - 21%
- To have fun without your partner - 14%
- To exaggerate the importance of his work - 13%
Sociologists also distinguish the most popular phrases with which every male lie begins:
"I haven't drunk that much."
- Everything is fine, nothing happened
- I had no scope
"I'm all alone."
"It's not that expensive."
"I'm on my way."
- I'm in a traffic jam
"I'm sorry I didn't hear the phone."
- Have you lost weight?
"That's exactly what I wanted to say."
Men also take an opinion on this issue, and some of them share the reasons why they lie.
"I like to play computer games, but my wife doesn't approve. Every time I sit at the computer, a scandal is inevitable. I am a programmer by profession and I often have to finish my work at home. That's why I don't think it's bad if I lie to my wife that I work, but actually play. "- Vasil (31)
"My friend can't cook, but she's trying to learn because of me. I congratulate her for her diligence and for each prepared "masterpiece", after which I secretly give the food to the dog, and I eat outside. "- Sergey (26 years old)
I decided to enroll in English courses when I told my wife she wanted to enroll with me. But studying with her is a real nightmare, she is one of the annoying and pedantic students, so I lied to her that the courses have been canceled for now.”- Kiril (29)
Sometimes it is necessary for a woman to lie. For example, when I want to spend the evening with friends, I say they kept me at work. Some time ago I realized that I had become a pathological liar. I was taking medicine to my sick mother when my friend called and I used to say I was at work.”- Yavor (27)
