Men lies twice as much as women
...well, says Daily Mail anyway. 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...udy-finds.html
Quote:
Men lie six times a day and twice as often as women, study finds
Men tell twice as many lies as women, it emerged yesterday.
Researchers found they tell six fibs a day on average to their partner, boss and work colleagues, but women come out with just three.
The study of 2,000 Britons also revealed that the most common lie told by both sexes was: ' Nothing's wrong, I'm fine.'
While men are likely to fib about having their last pint and claiming their partner's behind doesn't look too big, women avoid telling the truth about their latest shopping purchases.
Eighty-three per cent of adults of both sexes said they could easily tell if their partner was lying.
But body language expert Richard Newman said: 'Most people can't read the signals.
'They assume that if someone is hiding the truth, they would hide their face and avoid eye contact. In fact, the opposite is true.
'Liars usually do everything they can to convince you of the truth, sitting still and looking at you to watch your reaction.
'People simply overestimate their skills in this area.'
The findings emerged in a poll by 20th Century Fox to mark the DVD launch of TV series Lie To Me, starring Tim Roth as a deception expert who helps to solve crimes.

So, gentlemen (and ladies, for reference)....
How often do you lie?
And about what? |

Don’t know if I ever told you, but you were the first person I “met” on Lit. You invited me into Molly’s thread and made me feel at home. I really appreciated that. You also prolly know more about the “doings” of our family than just about anybody else on Lit. That’s cuz you care and are appreciated for being you.--posthumous message from Safe_Bet. And I still care and I still love her. Rest in the Light, Suzy.

The sweeping "scientific" research on these things always leaves me scratching my head.

I don't normally lie. And when I do, it is usually as a joke to get a reaction, which I will own up to once I get a reaction.

I don't lie. I just make stuff up as I go along and then fall back on poor memory.
Most lies are told to protect someone's feelings. The lie is of no consequence and to tell the truth benefits no one.
Lies told with the intent to cheat or hurt are actually quite rare.

I heard something about dividing everything a man claims in two. That would about even things out no?
(Actually it was about men's claims to female conquest, but if it was true to everything it would be interesting. I personally think woman are just better liers  )

Excerpt from Stolen Magic-Part 6
A hand closed around her breast, more hands gripped to her legs. Covered in mud, in Slater’s blood, her father’s words came to her again. A dagger sheathed in the belt of one of the men came into view, and as she had all those years ago she reacted without thought and grabbed it. Swinging out blindly the blade hit flesh and she pressed down hard. Hot blood spilled over her hand. The grasping hands released her.

I don't mind it when men lie down.
Sometimes it's quite empowering to ride on top.
Just saying.

Research shows that men lie more but women lie bigger so it evens out.
