Common Lies Women Tell Men

Recently, I wrote another blog post called "Common Lies Men Tell Women."  Within a day it was my most popular post, ever, on this blog.  At the time, I promised to write another one about the lies women tell men; well, I didn't want to be caught in a lie, so I thought I better not postpone it too long!

When I did an internet search on the lies that women tell men, I was startled (let's say shocked) by all the lists that are out there.  I certainly had plenty of suggestions to work with, a few written by women, but most written by men.  Here are some of my favorites, along with my comments:

My List of Lies Women Tell Men

It was on sale (I put this on top, because I've used it myself)
I'll be ready in a minute (or two, or three or ...)
I weigh ___ (Even my husband of 41 years doesn't know!)
Last night was the best ever (Maybe its the truth; maybe not)
That was delicious (If you cooked it, she's telling you how she actually feels!)
I'm not mad at you (If you think she is, she probably is.  Find out why.)
I'm just not ready for a boyfriend right now. (She's not interested.  Move on.)
I don't mind going Dutch treat. (Yes, she does. If you want her, you better pay.)
I love your friends / family.  (She's too insecure to tell you what she really thinks.)
I'm fine.  (If you think there is a problem, there is.  She doesn't want to talk, yet.)

Most Frequently Mentioned Lies

Of these, there were two items that came up over and over again.

The first one was "I'm just not ready for a boyfriend right now."  If a woman tells you that she is not ready for a boyfriend right now, she probably just isn't interested in you.  There's no point in pushing yourself on her, because it is going to push her away even more.  As one of the articles said, "Move on, Dude."

The second lie that was mentioned on several lists was "I don't mind going Dutch treat (or splitting the bill)."  If a man is interested in a woman, he probably expects their relationship to lead to her doing lots of nice things for him.  If he isn't prepared to buy her dinner and/or a movie a few times a month, she is eventually going to get tired of paying her own way.  Don't ask her to go Dutch, and still expect her to treat you as if you are God's gift to women!  If you are a student on a tight budget, look for some free activities, plan some picnics, and come up with some ideas you can afford.  Just don't ask her to pay her own way.  Her budget is probably tight, too!

  1. I am an african woman who loves to read about this kind of topic and I'm really shocked also! I admit that sometimes I tell lie to my boyfriend but take note "sometimes" lol. Well,as a girl we tend to be so pretentious because we don't want that someone will be bothered to our problems even to our bf's. So now I understand that most women tend to tell lies because of our own distinct reasons.
