5 Lies Guys Tell
According to Cosmo, the average guy lies six times a day, that's twice as often as women. So to know when your guy is saying the truth and when he’s just full of it, refer to this list of the 5 most common lies guys tell.1."I tried calling you. You didn’t get my call?"
Here’s the thing guys, we’re in 2010, not the early 80’s and need I remind you that technology is pretty sophisticated nowadays. So if you try to call, I’m pretty sure your call won’t get lost in space. So why do you still use this excuse?
2."I'm Stuck in Traffic"
Men are horrible communicators so instead of trying to explain the real reason why they’re late, they find it much easier to give you this generic excuse. Even if the reason they’re held up is legit, they’d rather feed you this excuse than try to explain. Men also try to avoid conflict at all costs, so if he got held up because he ran into an old girlfriend, he’ll also resort to this excuse.
3."Nothing’s wrong"
For guys, admitting that they’re sad or hurt is accepting defeat and showing weakness. That’s why they’d rather put a fist through a dry wall or drink a 6-pack rather than admit that something is wrong. As a girlfriend, it’s usually best to leave it alone, and show your support. And if it persists, chances are that if you ask again, he’ll open up.
4."It doesn’t bother me if you forget to shave your legs"
This is a sweet lie that guys tell their girlfriends to make them feel secure and loved beyond their looks. But the truth is that no guy wants to caress a girl’s hairy legs. One of the perks of being with you is the silky smooth skin he gets to rub up against. So girls, ignore this little lie and don’t throw your razor away!
5."I can fix it"
Did your guy ever tell you he could fix your leaky sink only to find yourself calling the plumber an hour later? Well, apparently there’s an imaginary "Real Man’s Club" and the membership prerequisite is being able to fix things. Whether it is home repair, electronics or plumbing, if a guy isn’t able to say he can fix it, he feels automatically kicked out of the Real Man’s Club.
Has anyone ever been fed these lies? Did you believe them?

hahah I love 4 and 5.
"Yeah I don't mind you hanging out with your ex boyfriend, I trust you." No I don't.
LOL
keep lying because girls like the way we lie.
I think I read somewhere that men lie more often, but women tell bigger lies that are more significant to real life (no, not just from Chris Rock, I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere). But maybe I just want this to be true.
I don't lie to many women, but I will lie to them to make my life easier if they are particularly annoying when things don't go their way. Good thing a woman like that won't be the one I spend the rest of my life with (I hope).
Now that I think of it, 6 times a day for men and 3 times a day for women seems a little low. I wonder if those numbers were self-reported... And Cosmo is a joke anyway, so I take anything they say with a pound of salt.
COSMO? Forget everything I just read above.
I so read this as 65 Lies Guys Tell.
But I CAN fix it!
...Wait, people take Cosmo seriously? Do you also believe the 25,039 NEW and UNIQUE sex tips they've had to date?
They have more positions than there are stones in the Great Wall, FFS. There aren't actually that many distinct SPATIAL CONFIGURATIONS for two human bodies (conditioned on penetration being both feasible and non-agonizing for one or both partners)!*
*If I'm wrong about this, please don't tell me how you figured it out. Unless, of course, it involves a graph. Graphs are always good.
They forgot to mention.....
"I wasn’t looking [at that ridiculously hot girl.]“
:)
Number 5 bugs the hell out of me. I hate show offs. Trying to prove to me you're a handyman will just piss me off because you'll break shit & then I'd pay double to get it fixed or done right.
My mom's ex was sweet to help out around the house but the things he did werent right Then he was slow. as. HELL!! He painted ONE wall & the window sill in my room & it took him like 4+ hours. We knew he did that shit on purpose.
Naw, my bf doesn't lie to me, not even about his whereabouts or small white lies, he's brutally honest 'cause we promised we'd always tell the honest truth to each other no matter how hurtful it is.. but sometimes I wish he weren't TOO blunt :/
What's the point in being with a guy if all they are going to do is lie about stupid shit?
These Cosmo articles gotta stop. Why do women read this shit? If you want to know how a man acts/feels/thinks you should ask a man, not a columnist for a women's magazine. If you can't get a straight answer from a man then he's not a man, he's an immature boy. All it takes to get into the ''Real Man's Club'' as you put it, is to be a responsible, honest, trustworthy and hard-working male. It has nothing to do with being able to fix something or not, but nice try. Saying that men lie an average of 6 times a day just because they're men is just like saying black people are criminals just cuz they're black, its ignorant and immature. Grow up.
Uhh some not shallow guys actually don't give a shit about leg hair. If some guy actually cared about my legs being a little bit hairy they can hit the road.
#1 isn't always a lie. My phone's a piece of shit and likes to drop calls/turn off all the time and my gf who has shitty T-mobile as a carrier has no reception anywhere she goes. And don't even get started on AT&T.
i really don't mind if she forgets to sh ave her legs..
@xjadersx@xanga - Simply put and a good response at that. :)
Honestly, I only use lie number 3. I am a very independent person. I have been living on my own since I was 14 and it could stem from that. However, if I cannot do something, I'm wrong, or I am losing, feeling weak against something, or anything else I can't control, I have to have a little bit of time to myself to think. With just a little peace and a few moments, then I can explain everything.
:)
I wouldn't lie about not liking hairy legs on girls... But I would be telling the truth if I said that I don't care if they occasionally forget to shave their legs.
I don't do numbers 2 and 5. Number 2 because I don't have a car. Number 5 is strange because I know that plenty of guys do this... But for some strange reason I never feel I have to lie about stuff like this. I just flat out say "I don't know how to fix this shit."
I do number 3... But I usually do it as a way of nicely saying "obviously there's something wrong, just leave me alone about it." Passive-aggressive, sure. But it usually does the trick.
@Thumper49047@xanga - LOL i have a strong feeling my boyfriend lies about that too.
you forgot "i love you"
"I was listening."
I rarely shave my legs. It is an occasion. Like today, I was giving a public speech; therefore I shaved. My boyfriend doesn't bitch if my leg hair has been growing for a month because he doesn't give a shit, but I do shave a little more often now. And besides, compared to him I'm still the silkiest and smoothest thing alive.
Love this! Especially #4 and 5
AGREE!
My boyfriend doesn't care if I'm hairy. I don't bitch when he has some stubble on his fucking face where it gives me a rash when he kisses me, then he shouldn't bitch about my legs being a little prickly on the palms of his hands. He's genuinely not that shallow.
