Whether it’s an online date (and in the era of COVID-19, many people don’t have an alternative) or a real date, men often lie shamelessly. We have compiled a true rating of the most popular topics of male lies.
“I have not yet recovered after breaking up, we have been dating for two years”
Bingo! This phrase kills two birds with one stone: the man makes a woman understand that he is ready for a serious relationship and does not just offer sex for one night, and at the same time he puts pressure on her feeling of pity.
If the desire to comfort the sufferer is already growing in the depths of your soul, slow down. It can play against you. Wonder Boyfriend will just drag you to bed and then disappear. Believe it, tomorrow he will tell his tales to another woman.
“I’m not married”
You can count on fingers the men who admit on their first date: “Yes, I’m still married, but we don’t live together any more (or we are going to get divorced).”
Removing the ring from your finger and exposing yourself as a bachelor is much easier. If a particularly suspicious woman decides to check the passport, one can refer to urgent matters and look for a more humble victim.
“I have a very eventful life”
But in fact, I am part of the office plankton, who spends workdays playing “The World of Tanks” and is never away from social networks. He can tell with inspiration how beautiful Italy is in the spring, although he himself has never left the city suburbs.
The men who have not achieved anything in life like to seem better than they are. “My car is under repair” sounds prettier than “I go to work by bus, but today I am generous and will take a taxi.”
An implausible lie is especially funny. For example, a guy is talking about his favorite fashion brands, while sitting in a 100-year-old sweater!
“Yes, I also love melodramas”
Or horoscopes, or Madonna’s songs, or traveling… Having different interests is normal. But if a man conforms to every word and believes that he can keep this woman, he is hopeless.
At first, the scheme works and the woman thinks “Ah, we are soulmates” and agrees to a second and third date. But then the truth that he has not watched a single romantic film will come up, or they will consider him a henpecked failure. In any case, the man will remain in the red, and the girl will feel cheated.
“Sex is not important to me”
In fact, it is very important! Or the man has serious health problems.
A guy who purposely refuses to have sex arouses interest in a woman. She feels proud that she has finally met someone who does not take her to bed after the first date. Then, sports excitement wakes up: to take the relationship to a new level, to initiate the affair… In any case, the man wins.
“And then my blow landed on his jaw …”
You are sitting, listening to this and thinking: “Wow, what a life he has! He is a hero of a spine-chiller! Every day brings a new battle.” In fact, the interlocutor may be a sissy boy, who slides down the wall into a deep faint at the sight of blood. He just composes fairy tales to seem cool in the eyes of a lady.
Real aggressors are in no hurry to talk about their “exploits.” Certainly not on the first date.
“I had many women, but you are special”
A doubtful tactic. A man who likes changing his mistresses will try to hide this fact. Especially if he wants to develop the relationship in a horizontal plane.
An experienced Casanova knows that every woman wants to feel unique and special. A false he-man, in the end, turns out to be an inexperienced guy who wants to attract the attention of a girl, but does not know how.
“I lead a healthy lifestyle, I go in for sports…”
However, the fact that the gentleman eats his third hamburger with potatoes and has a solid beer belly suggests the opposite.
If a man benefits from this, he can even pretend being a vegan. He can be chewing lettuce leaves and, at the back of his mind, dream of a big and tasty steak. Such a show will nonetheless produce the desired effect.
“I often stay late in the office, I have a very important job”
This means that he will call and go out with you only when it is convenient for him. He has already come up with an absolute justification – work. Many women like career men, business-minded, stubborn, heading toward their goal. The office is a very convenient cover: a false workaholic can calmly drink beer with friends or have a romance with several girls, who do not even suspect the existence of one another.
If he really lives at work and he doesn’t have any time to call you, think twice if you need such a man.
“Yesterday I read Hamlet over again…”
A man tries to impress you, demonstrating his erudition. He reads Byron, quotes the classics, and orders dishes at a restaurant in fluent French.
Do not rush to believe him. Perhaps you are looking at a typical womanizer. The only sonnet and the pre-learned menu are his only chance to attract attention. If such a shameful gentleman meets a girl who is familiar with the school curriculum in literature, he quickly quits dating her.
The desire to seem better in the eyes of a woman is understandable, but there can be a shy guy and a pathological liar hiding under such a mask. Do not take every word spoken during the date for granted, and you will not have to mourn your broken heart!
