Re: Who Are The Biggest Fibbers... Men Or Women?
I think women are conditioned to lie more than men are.
We are taught to be polite and not hurt anybody’s feelings, which usually translates to becoming somewhat pretentious to others. Don’t tell Aunt Beth how her coffee cake really tastes; say you don’t mind making extra pancakes for your siblings, etc.,
Women are taught to be more superficial than men. We are taught to sugar coat things.
Men generally tend to say it how it is. My husband works with a bunch of men and they are notoriously known for being ‘straight forward or direct.’
Most men don’t seem to play the same social games that women play but possibly because they don’t have to.
And I also agree that they usually tell ‘us’ what WE want to hear due to consequences so in a way, we taught them to lie also.
