Why Do Guys Lie?

Here is the single biggest question women want an answer to: "Why guys lie?" Here are reasons men lie to you.

He didn't want to hurt you -- Guys have been known to modify truths if those truths would hurt someone they care about, and in some cases, the victim of the lie can appreciate it as a kindness.

He didn't want to hurt himself -- This is the classic "the truth would have embarrassed me" argument.

He said what he thought you wanted to hear -- Men are not the most astute readers of feminine desires, and sometimes they will fib because they believe that you'd rather hear an untruth than something potentially hurtful.

Some things are best left unsaid -- Occasionally men will lie to protect a secret that is either not your business or would cause trouble if revealed, or both.

He's a jerk -- Some guys are just jerks.
