Ooops! Women Often Lie About These 9 Things

3. The number of her ex intimate partners

Now, this is a very common thing women prefer to skip when revealing stuff from their past because, to be honest, nobody has to know with how many men you had intimate moments. It might sound like we’re defending women, but men lie about this thing too! However, most women who lie about the number of intimate partners they have have done so to appear innocent and pure. It’s a fact that men who know a woman has had a lot of intimate experiences won’t want a serious relationship with her.

What are other lies women tell their partners? Keep reading because the list isn’t over yet!

4. “I am not the jealous type”

It’s crystal clear that any woman who uses this phrase definitely lies to the man. In most cases, they also use lies like, “I saw how you looked at her; good thing I am not jealous because otherwise we would have had a problem,” which means she got upset and felt insecure, but she also wants to prove that she is mature enough to realize that was nothing but a “look and see” kind of thing and the man will never act towards anything else.

…psst! Do you think your partner or spouse is telling you lies? This book might help you get a more insightful look at the issue!

5. “We are just friends, we’re not interested in each other”

This one stands among the most common lies women tell their partners. Of course everybody is allowed to have friends from both genders, but when the flirting is “in your face,” nobody will believe you are only “buddying” with each other. Phrases like “you look amazing in that picture” or “I miss you!” are clearly signs that men want something more than just a regular friendship.

Why do women accept this kind of behavior? Well, mostly because they feel validated and appreciated. And honestly, who doesn’t like that? Believe it or not, a lot of women keep other men as “backup” in case something happens in their current relationship, you know, a “shoulder to cry on.”

However, if you feel this happening in your relationship too, it’s time to have a serious conversation with your partner. You may find out what’s happening and how you can fix the issues. If none of these options work, you may be able to end the relationship.

    The only thing true for me from this list is number 9; 10 minutes away really means 30 minutes away. That other stuff, I never lie about it.

    I can understand the list but the reasons aren’t 100% accurate for everyone- that part should be noted. While women say these things, some may mean or intend it, but this article twists it to state mark intent from all women- which comes off a bit jaded.

    Let’s add one more being this article started off with insecurities, then veered off the road… weight is definitely one a woman lies about, but it’s puzzling why someone other than a physician would ask how much a woman weighs, but the question does come up quite often & if you think in today’s world of body-shakers, a woman is going to just blurt out anything over 140, unless her profession is world class wrestling- you’ve got another thing coming…
