If you think your woman would never lie to you, guess again. From little white lies to the more serious variety, most women will curtail the truth at some point in a relationship. Her motivation for lying can stem from wanting to protect your feelings or, sure enough, to save her own butt. Whatever the reason, here are the top 10 lies women tell men.
Number 10
Oh, come on, do you really believe that she wouldn’t change anything about you? Anything? Reality check: There are probably many things about you that she’d like to change. Or if you’re still in that new couple “honeymoon” phase, during which you seem absolutely perfect, she’ll find out soon enough that she was wrong. Here’s my advice: Whether she hasn’t figured it out yet or she’s blatantly lying to make you happy, enjoy it while it lasts.
Number 9
No matter how great your friends are, your girlfriend doesn’t want them around all the time . Even though she might have told you this little white lie when you first started dating, don’t expect it to last past the Super Bowl. After a couple of hours of being surrounded by your buddies, she’ll have had enough and she’ll most likely let you know. If you want to keep this lie a semi-reality (let’s face it, it does work to your advantage), try to keep visits from your friends to a minimum and she might just keep pretending she loves them.
Number 8
Once again, this is a lie your girlfriend might tell you at the beginning of your relationship. She’ll say that she really doesn’t mind picking up the dirty dishes you leave lying around and that she just loves doing the laundry. I hate to break it to you, but this isn’t going to last either. Soon enough, she’ll be telling you to wash your smelly gym socks yourself and that it’s your turn to do the dishes.
Number 7
If you’re lucky, your girlfriend may not be lying when she tells you that she loves spending time with your family. However, if she secretly despises them, she probably won’t tell you in order to spare your feelings. If you really want to know the truth, observe her reaction the next time your parents invite you over for dinner. If all the muscles in her face tighten up before she forces a fake smile and mutters an unenthusiastic “Great!”, she definitely isn’t crazy about them. Obviously, if she really hates them, this could be a major issue in your relationship. But if you detect just a bit of friction, try to limit family visits to birthdays and holidays in order to avoid a major blow-up.
Number 6
Ah, another first date classic. She may tell you that she just loves watching Monday Night football in order to prove that she’s not like all the other girls and that you have common interests. But unless you’re lucky enough to have found one of the rare true female sports fans out there, within a few weeks, she’ll probably be complaining every time you sit down to watch a game. This lie really sucks because it feeds false hopes in the minds of unsuspecting men. Sorry guys, but your dreams of curling up with a six-pack and a hot woman to watch the game with are probably going to forever remain pure fantasy.
Number 5
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the better part of your adult life, you’ve probably figured out that this is a trap. No matter what you say, she will get angry. If you try to tell her that she looks great, she’ll accuse you of lying to make her feel better about her rhinoceros butt. On the other hand, if you tell her that she has, in fact, put on a couple of pounds, you’re likely to set off a war in your living room. Basically, the only way to deal with this situation (short of faking a heart attack) is to brace yourself and wait until the monsoon passes.
Number 4
Do your arguments with your girlfriend usually end up with her admitting that you’re right and that you know better than her? And you actually believe her? Even if she realizes she’s wrong, chances are slim to none that she’ll actually admit it. The fact is that many women will tell you that you’re right to shut you up, but what they’re really thinking is: “He’ll find out soon enough that I’m right.” Then they’ll proceed to find some devious way to prove their point to you.
Number 3
Although she may say this at first to seem cool and open-minded, chances are that it secretly drives her nuts when you eyeball the hot redhead at the grocery store. It’s quite simple: She wants to feel like you only have eyes for her even though she may not look like Pamela Anderson’s long-lost twin. Therefore, even if she tells you that it doesn’t bother her, you’re better off not letting your eyes wander too often if you don’t want it to blow up in your face when you least expect it.
Number 2
Although it isn’t true that all women care about is the size of a man’s bank account, most women want a guy who is financially stable and independent. No, they don’t all want a sugar daddy; they just want to know that their man is capable of taking care of a potential future family. Of course, your girlfriend probably won’t tell you this so as not to scare you off with discussions about family and the future.
Number 1
Most men will have temporary erectile difficulties at some point in their lives and most women are aware of this fact. However, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t bother your girlfriend when you’re getting hot and heavy and suddenly there’s nothing happening down there. This lie is only one of the dozens of sex-related lies that women tell to spare their partner’s feelings, including the classics “size doesn’t matter” and “you’re the best I’ve ever had.” Fortunately, these fibs aren’t really harmful. After all, even if you aren’t the best she’s ever had, she chose to be with you over any other guy, no matter how good (or bad) the sex is
