Did You Know: Men Lie 2 Times More Than Women?

There is this notion that women are naturally liars and men are not. In fact, if you told men that they lie more than women, they will dismiss you like a plague.

Between men and women, who are great liars? Men. You heard it right. Men are experts at lying than women. It is just that while lying, women are smarter than men.

A poll carried out on behalf of Century Fox Home revealed that an average man tells lies 42 times a week to his partner/partners, boss and work colleagues. This means an average man tells 2,184 lies each year.

Women tell an average of three lies a day, 21 a week and at least 1,092 lies per year.

In the whole of man’s life, he tells at least 126,672 lies while a woman tells at least 68,796 lies in her lifetime.

The common lie among women is when men ask them if they “okay.” Their common answer is “Am fine” or “Nothing wrong, I am fine.”

So who lies more? Men. Who lies less? Women. Who is smart while lying? Women. Men know how to lie but very few know how to sustain the lie without contradicting themselves at a later stage.

Many people don’t know how to tell when someone is lying. People believe that when someone is lying, they will hide their face and avoid eye contact. The opposite is what works. Liars will look you straight in the eyes to convince you of their “truth”.
