10 Lies Almost Every Man Says To His Woman
God, don’t we love these surveys! The most recent one has it that men lie more than women, thus affirming what we always knew but didn’t have a survey to back up.
While lies come in all sizes and shades, here are the more common fibs that the male of the species is more inclined to dish out— sometimes to get out of a fix, oftentimes to keep his partner happy, and at other times because it’s ever so convenient and hassle-free! Do, please, add your own to this list, and let’s have fun making this list as long as his nose is likely to grow if and when caught!
1. “What was so special about her?”
Of course there was something special about her and he was thinking about her just then, when you popped the question and now he must hide his true feelings in order to be “cool”.
Because, he is a man.
2. “I’ll text/call you tomorrow”
Ah, the promise to remember. Nah, just does not happen. This is probably the biggest anxiety inducing thing you can hear after a first date. And that is because you really do not know, do you. He might, if he is a decent human being, even if it is to tell you he does not like you. Or he might not. Your pick now. What makes this statement so devious, is its ambiguity.
3. “You are the only one”
No, you are the one awake and free tonight, so yeah, that way, you are the only one.
4. “I am doing okay”
He is not. We will give men this. They need, thanks to the toxic brand of male masculinity cultivated by the society, to create a façade of toughness and strength, despite being crushed by sorrows, failure, issues and whatnot. Even if they are not doing okay, they will invariably say they are.
5. “I am on my way”
Nah. He has just woken up and is brushing his teeth. He will be intentionally late because he cannot have you thinking he was excited to meet you and that you mean something to him.
6. “It won’t happen again”
If he is a fuckboy, it most definitely will happen again. If he is a decent human being, slight chance, it still might happen; he might not mean it, but it might happen.
7. “You are my first love”
Really? No.
He is just saying that to, 1. Get into your pants every time he wants in the foreseeable future or 2. Because he is clingy, as he measures his self-worth in terms of the women he has been with. If this is the second scenario, you are one of the best he has had.
8. “I will be busy this weekend”
Nah. He probably has a new date to plan or worse, he will go to his man-cave or pub and hang out with his “bros”. They are the worse than a sewing cycle when they meet their brothers-from-other-mothers.
9. “You are the most beautiful girl I have set my eyes on”
Nah. He is just quoting/summarizing the only thing he remembers from the last fairy tale he read from a book; he is doing so, because as far as he is concerned, the prince who is charming gets the chick at the end.
10. “You know all my secrets”
Nah. You do not. And you probably never will, for better or for worse.
