So we’ve proven that men lie, but why? Probably for the same reasons most people lie. But there are some unique reasons that seem more true to men.
1. to avoid conflict
This is the biggest reason men lie. especially with their counterparts. I’ve had a lot of men even accept this. They claim to be lying to protect you. but in reality it is to protect yourself
Let’s say your boyfriend is flirting with a female coworker. And she didn’t know they were related. He won’t come home and tell you so. Because he knows you’ll be upset and he wants to prevent that. He doesn’t want to hurt you but at the same time He doesn’t want your pain to affect him.
He knows if he tells you the truth. You will be angry but move on. But when you’re angry He will have to deal with it. What he doesn’t see is if you know from someone else. The pain became deeper and longer because he lied.
when not seeing this fact He’s more worried about avoiding conflict in the moment than not hurting you. Although that might be his excuse.

basically He is maintaining your vision of him as a good and noble man. And don’t want to risk the fact that it might not be flattering.
3. have sex
I hate to say this. because it is rude But it’s true. Very true. Men lie to get you to bed. As long as some men, like the writers mentioned earlier, might like to believe that this is false, but it is not.
A guy will claim that he wants to know you. cook you dinner Or watch a movie where his real motivation is to move the team. And hopefully find equal attention. No, not all men do this. Some people really want to get to know you and bond with you.
But even the most respected and well-intentioned men are thinking about sex when they claim it isn’t. I used to have a guy who promised to date me. Had a romantic date in town, etc. to get me to bed. Most men don’t accept that as their initial goal. but a lie about their intentions.
It can be difficult to tell if this is a lie or not. I’ve made it clear to the guy that things that are not in the cards and will not happen. and they claim that it is not their goal. only to later admit that their goal was their goal. And they love a challenge seeing that they can change. my thoughts. This is a woman who is predatory, predatory and unusual. [Read: 15 things immature men do and why you need to avoid them]

Yes, women do too. But here’s an example. A guy who wants to stay home and watch games with his friends won’t tell you because they think you’ll be upset.
He’ll lie and say you deserve a spa day with your friend. No, this might not be a blatant lie because you definitely deserve it. But he uses this to lure you out. so that he can get what he wants
