WHO ARE WE KIDDING??? lies are on both sides of the coin...
only men are more more tolerant about the lies because apparently we're professionals at it..
that said....MEN get the bad rap for it..and women get the free pass...
why is this??? and why do women INSIST on honesty when they are just as contrived and dishonest???

men can easily rationalize their white lies...we just don't feel the need?
rationalizing and justifying is JUST as bad as the lie itself...
not only do I lie...but it isn't that big of a deal..
but if a guy lies about ANYTHING...it is ALWAYS a big deal.. because it's the "little things" that add up to big things..
right ladies???

Men lie a lot more then women...and lie about more important things(at least to women). Women see there lies are 'harmless white lies' or 'the right thing to do'.. A woman can rationalize a lie, so to her, it's not a lie at all. They, of course, want 100% honesty...but they don't do it themselfs. women feel they have the moral high ground to decide what is a lie and what is just a harmless mistruth.

Kinda wierd, can't really tell by the off the wall questions which sex lies more.
No matter which sex tells a lie, I would say there must be some type of motive behind it. Find out what the motive is and you'll discover why a person lied.
Is Honesty the best policy? I would hope so, but many people do things that they shouldn't and then feel they should cover it up by telling a lie, what sex you are doesn't really matter.

Speaking as a woman, I can HONESTLY say that both sexes can be liars. My ex was a liar near the end of our marriage and 4 years later he still won't admit it. If what you say is true that women get a free pass, who gives it to them??? Men. Some men are only tolerant of lies when they have something to hide. Not all women lie, not all men lie.

Women are more paranoid about things than men. That's why we make a big deal about everything!
