Ooops! Women Often Lie About These 9 Things

6. “I don’t flirt with other guys”

Women who tell this lie to their partners are not really aware of what flirting means. People tend to have different opinions about what flirting is about. Some of them think that even small talk with compliments and such is flirting if you’re in a relationship. In most cases, women are really perceptive and they notice when a man is interested in them, and that’s the major point when they leave the door open for more or they simply respond that they are not interested in more than just a casual discussion because they’re already in a relationship.

7. “I am fine”

This one probably stands pretty high on the list of lies that women tell, and it’s often translated as “I am far from being fine.” “I am actually super upset about the argument we’ve had, and I will be like this for a while.” And if that happened to you before, you probably believed it and politely ended the conversation. This is just the worst thing you can do. Instead of saying, “Ok, thanks for clearing things up,” throw a line she will never expect: “Ok, I don’t feel like things are really good between us; let’s talk about it.”

8. “Sure, just go out and have fun with your boys!”

This lie that women frequently tell translates as: “Yeah, sure, you go out and have fun while I will be staying at home moping or taking care of the household.” Whether you believe this or not, most women want their partner to be caring and include her in his daily plans. And if those plans include going out with his friends on a Friday night, she probably wants to go out with you too.

If the relationship is just beginning, she probably wants to make sure you won’t flirt with or cheat on her with other women when you get a little tipsy. You can explain to her that there is nothing wrong with going out and having fun with your friends separately, and if she wants to join you from time to time, that’s perfectly fine too.

9. “I will be there in less than 10 minutes”

This lie is more of a white one, and it sounds a bit funny to me. “I will definitely be ready in five” means that I will actually be there in 20 or more minutes. We all know that women take more time to prepare their outfits for a date, even if it’s just a casual one, because they want to look and feel great. If you know that she is always a bit late to the party, take your time and make yourself comfortable. After all, you don’t want to go out with someone who appears sloppy and messy! When she pops up, make sure you compliment her instead of arguing about being late.

Takeaway:

Despite the fact that these lies might be annoying or upsetting for most men, there is one good thing about them: your woman clearly has a serious interest in you! Because she may feel insecure or not good enough for you, she might sneak a lie here and there to make things right. And as long as it isn’t a bad one, even if you realize that she wasn’t completely honest with you, you can smile and move on smoothly.

However, and this is applicable both ways, if you want a good relationship, you must work for it and not take it for granted or get your way through a shortcut.

    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…
