The funny thing about lying is that we all do it, but none of us want to admit to it. In fact, studies have shown that we start lying from the age of 2-3. Hence I think it can be safe to say that it is something integral to us humans.
While lying is almost always considered to be bad, that might not be the case 100 percent of the time. Sometimes we lie to protect someone or to not hurt someone’s feelings and sometimes we might even lie just for the heck of it!
And then there are little white lies that we tell regularly to our partners. Lying in any relationship can be bad but sometimes you just gotta do it! And if it doesn’t do anybody any harm, then what’s the problem right? Let’s look at some that guys tell their girlfriends all the time.
1. I Love Spending Time With Your Family
When a girl tells her guy that her parents are coming over for dinner or a weekend:
What he thinks: Oh no. Them again. Her dad looks at me like he wants to kill me and feed me to the dogs. And her mom is just plain weird. There goes a weekend that I’ll never get again. Oh the horror. Why me god, why me?
What he says: Oh wow. I love hanging out with your family. Yaayyy!
2. My Phone Was on Silent
When she has been calling him all night but he was busy clubbing with his homies and later calls back.
What he says: Hey, I’m sorry baby. The damn thing was on silent. I didn’t even put it on silent. I was working some extra hours here at the office. I swear!
3. I Like Your Cooking
When the girl cooks something for him and asks, “How was it?”
What he thinks: How was it? Just like everything else. 50 shades of burnt!
What he says: Awesome! You know I love your cooking! :)
4. You Look Good in Everything
Girls often ask guys about their opinion on different dresses. They want to know if they look good in them. It’s a fair question but something that boys have absolutely no interest in. In fact we don’t even notice the million dresses that you own.
What he says: You look gorgeous. You look good in everything, honey.
5. You Are The Most Beautiful Girl On This Planet
During those romantic sessions, you often say nice things to each other. You compliment each other and would say anything in the heat of the moment. Problem is, guys take it a little too far, saying stuff like “You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen”
While that might be true in some instances, but lets get real here. Mostly they are thinking, “You are the most beautiful girl except for Keira Knightley, Olivia Wilde, Nina Dobrev, Emma Watson, Scarlett Johansson and a thousand others.”
6. I Don’t Look At Other Woman
This must be one the most common lies men tell women. But let me tell you something, biology is a bitch. Guys have eyes that like to wander. Blame mother nature for that not us poor creatures who are simply following her rules!
Heck, even the president of the united states doesn’t have that amount of self control. So, who are we in front of the most powerful man on earth…..right?…..right?
7. No, You Don’t Look Fat
Ahh the classic “Do I look fat?” question.
What he thinks: Well, she has gained some weight. So do I tell her the truth? The last time wasn’t fun when I did. Oh shit. She’s looking at me. Quick lie, for the love of god, just lie.
What he says: Of course not dear. You look perfect!
8. Yes, I Noticed Your New Haircut
The problem here is two folds. One, girls can spend $100 on their haircut and literally look the same. Second, we don’t really care about stuff like that. So, when girls ask us about it, we have no option but to lie!
“Yes, your hair looks amazing. Much better than before. It really makes you look even more beautiful. I didn’t think that was even possible!” *facepalm*
9. I’m Almost There
Guys like to do things on their own time. We can be lazy and would rather do things in the last minute. So, when girls call you like 20 times if you are ‘there’, you got to say, “Yes, I’m almost there. Stuck in a traffic jam”, even though you haven’t even started getting ready yet.
Such politics I tell you!
10. I Would Never Lie To You
The lie-ception. Lying about not lying. The ultimate lie. The perfect crime. And guys do it with such fervour. This lie goes against the very human nature of lying.
It’s a scientific fact that we all lie, so how can we even tell our girlfriends that we would ‘never’ lie to them. Girls should call boys out on this one pointing them to a study or two about lying.
