Both men and women lie. Research has proven that one of the sexes has a greater tendency to lie.
The fact is that we all lie, but men have dirtier hands than women, as they tell an average of 1,092 small lies per year (some three per day), while women tell about two per day, which amounts to 728 per year. If this is a bit surprising data, but it is certainly not that fewer men feel guilty about lying (70 percent), while 82 percent of women claim that it makes them feel guilty. And what is the most common female lie? "Nothing is wrong, I'm fine." What about a man? Find out below, when we reveal the 10 most common lies men and women tell you.
Life does not go without lies, at least if the results of numerous studies are to be believed, which establish that both men and women we lie on a daily basis. And who do we most often lie to? Mom! As many as a fifth of women and a quarter of men admitted that they lied to their mother. Lies are not spared even by partners, who occasionally lie to 71 percent of women and four percent more men. At the same time, it should be emphasized that in most cases it is for small or white lies, which are completely non-dangerous and harmless and are uttered by both in order not to hurt their partner. It happens very often we lie about our feelings.
Guilt is somehow on the side of women. While 70 percent of men feel guilty about lying, 82 percent of women have a guilty conscience. But lying is in human nature (although scientists have not yet discovered its origin) and an important part of social interaction. Lies are often like that spontaneous, to forget that we uttered them at all. So it's no surprise that three-quarters of people believe that lying is acceptable, if this saves someone the excitement or pain. And what are the top 10 little lies told by men and what are the top 10 told by women?
