why do men think they have to lie when its easier to just tell the truth{what the problem}?

Answer 1

Well, in my opinion, men are somewhat insecure. We are all Macho, and when a women comes, and we give up everything we love, well, in breaks us. We don't want he other person (his girlfriend) to leave him, so he gets somewhat desperate and lies to impress her. At least, that's what I think

Answer 2

Because they dont want to get their a** kicked. They dont want to have to listen to us girl b*tch and yell. I guess it depends on what the guy is lying about. If he cheated on you, or lied about where hes been, then I dont think they should be chicken to tell you the truth. Most guys think its easier to just lie, but I also think its easier to tell the truth, because lying just gets you into more and more trouble, at least if the guy is honest and is willing to ask for forgiveness things MAY be easier and wont be dramatic than if they just kept things from their spouse and they just find out later the truth from someone else or on their own!!

Answer 3

It is very simple, insecurity is the problem in a lot of males, not that lieing is easier, it is very hard to open up with true feelings when you have a insecurity that was developed at a younger age, not being around possitive is a security, and negative is a insecurity, the way people speak, act, and respond is only a few character traits.

Answer 4

Not all men lie. Sounds like you pick the ones that want to make a big deal out of nothing.

Answer 5

Men lies if they fell doing it will result in a much better ending. Or if its the right thing to do or the best thing to do. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice honesty (meaning white lies) if it will provide a better scenario or its serves as the solution to a problem.
Example:
Tell me, if you had a secret affair and you dont want to destroy your present relationship, would you tell your partner about it if he asked you? Plain and simple, of course you'll lie.

Answer 6

Too many men are easily motivated by pride and fear of humiliation. If they are truly secure in the knowledge that they are loved and accepted despite their bad points, they are less likely to lie. And, if they appreciate the love and acceptance they receive, they will not want to risk it by sneaking around and actually doing anything that would make lies necessary to hide.

"I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you."
Friedrich Nietzsche
This handy reference guide to men's most frequent lies should help you see right through them and enable you to enjoy a sincere, honest and mutually satisfying relationship. If that is possible!

When it comes to doing household chores, men will often employ a crafty twofold lie and say, "I said I'll do it, so I'll do it." This implies that not only are they going to "do" whatever it is they are obviously never going to do, but that their word is their bond - another lie. Men would rather be honest, but saying "Not now, I'm staring into space" wouldn't have the desired effect. I've tried both, and I swear by the first one. Just like

women, men usually lie about how many people they have slept with. But, unlike women, men rarely trot out the same number twice. A man will exaggerate or underestimate, depending on the number of men he thinks the woman he's lying to has slept with.

Men usually lie to women about being wild in their youth. However, his story about the harrowing night he spent in the police cells is just a sad exaggeration of the time he was caught stealing a pencil and sharpener from Coles and cried like a baby until his mum picked him up.

A lot of the lies that men tell are nothing more than harmless vanity, but some can be downright dangerous. Watch out for bluffs like, "I'm a strong swimmer" and "Of course I know how to sail a boat." Avoid any scenario where you might have to rely on these dubious talents.

Men usually lie about how hard they work. They have always been experts at stretching two hours out into an eight hour day. In the old days, men lied to their wives about their gruelling day, so they could lock themselves in the study and read Playboy instead of having to clean the barbecue grill. Now men not only have to lie to their wives, but to their female bosses as well.

When it's time for the end of a romantic relationship, male duplicity kicks into fifth gear. Even if he wants out, he'll do or say anything to make it seem like you're leaving him. Later, he'll call to say he can't live without you - usually when he discovers you've taken all the sheets.
A man who has cheated on you will lie about it well past the point of all rationality because, in hip mind, he has nothing to gain by telling the truth. Even when presented with incontrovertible evidence, a man will try to wriggle out of it - saying things like, "Oh dear, my evil twin must have escaped from prison again."

"I'm not drunk." This one's pretty obvious, especially as it usually sounds like "I'm nmmg dmgthph."

There is no reason to say you're not drunk - unless you are very drunk indeed.

When a man says he's thinking about giving up his career and opening a little bar on a beach in Fiji, he's not necessarily lying: he may really mean it, he may even do it. But he is lying when he says he'll take you with him.

When a man says sex with his ex-girlfriend was crap, he is lying. When he tells you sex with his ex was fantastic, he is lying again. Sex for men is one of life's constants: it's always pretty good.

Answer 8

But is telling the truth easier??? Won't the truth get some retribution???

Answer 9

And you are referring to? I don't lie and I have no reason to lie. I realize you must have had a bad relationship but please, tell us how old you are. You must be a youngin' hangin out with boys. Not all men lie and not all women lie. FFS

Answer 10
