9 Things Women Lie About (And Probably Get Away With)
1. “HE’S JUST A FRIEND”
There is nothing wrong with having platonic friends and I don’t think
men and women should get rid of their friends of the opposite sex just
because they’re in a new relationship. But some women keep that “friend”
around just in case things don’t work out with their current boyfriend.
You know, the one who we are attracted to just enough to consider
sleeping with who would make a good boyfriend, but for some reason we’ve
put him in the temporary friend zone. We know that he’s feeling us, so
we’ll entertain him while still keeping him at arm’s length.
2. HOW MANY MEN SHE’S SLEPT WITH
Just like we know men will lie about how many partners they’ve had,
so will a woman. However, men tend to make the number higher while women
tend to cut that number in half, if not more. Let a man tell it, if a
woman says she’s slept with 3 men, that really means, like…10. If she
refuses to tell you it’s because her number is astronomical and she
doesn’t want you to think she’s a slore (a Slore/Slore..keep up!) or
because no matter what number she gives you, she knows it’ll be too high
for you so why bother?
3. THE LAST TIME SHE HAD SEX
This is another one women tend to bend the truth on. If she hasn’t
been in a serious relationship in a long time, but had a “jump-off” or
“friends with benefits” situation going on before she met you, chances
are she doesn’t want you to know she’s been getting’ it in during the
“in between” period. So when a man asks, “When was the last time you had
sex,” the text-book answer – depending on when her last real
relationship ended – is usually six months to a year. After all, unless
she wants you to think she’s Patty Prude, it’s realistic to think that
she’s had some action – you know, being a hot-blooded woman with needs
and all.
4. THE BEST SEX SHE’S EVER HAD
Again, I don’t know why men ask this question, but a lot of them want
to stroke their ego by asking their girl if he was the best she’s ever
had. And we women, being the nurturers that we are, will lie and say,
“You, big daddy!” We know deep down we can’t tell him that it was
actually our secret jump-off that not even our girls know about who
cracked our back all kinds of ways from Sunday. It just doesn’t sound
right to say, “Well, Pookie actually twisted me out REAL GOOD!” We love
our men…and we want to avoid any embarrassing conversations. Some women
actually believe this lie because the love between you and your boo is
actually what makes the sex great and more meaningful, not his
“technique.”
5. HER WEIGHT
Men will lie about their height, and women will lie about their
weight – and that’s assuming she even answers the question. I don’t know
too many men who go around asking their woman how much she weighs,
because they just know better; but if for some reason he’s curious, I
think women might simply “round down” the number. The only man I want
asking me how much I weigh is my personal trainer. So if that’s not you,
don’t worry about it unless you’re planning to carry me over the
threshold on our wedding day. Along the same lines, a man may ask a
woman’s clothing size, which could also be tricky.
6. SHE LOVES SPORTS
Some women don’t know the difference between a touchdown and a free
throw, but will lie and tell her man that she loves football just
because she knows he does. If torturing herself by watching football all
day on Sunday is the only way she can spend time with him, she’ll do it
– even though she has no idea what the hell is going on. Talk about
sacrificing for her man! Some men also find women who are into sports
more attractive, so a woman will pretend to be into a particular sport
just to appear more “cool.”
7. HOW MUCH MONEY SHE SPENDS
If a couple shares household expenses or has a joint bank account, a
woman might keep a secret stash somewhere so that she can enjoy her own
little “luxuries” from time to time. So when she brings home a few bags
from the mall and her man asks her what she’s been up to, she’ll
automatically blurt out,“Oh, these were on sale,” even though she set
the mall on fire and spent a small fortune when she knows they’re
supposed to be sticking to a budget. I’m sure men burn holes in their
pockets too, but for some reason, a woman will try to justify her
spending and come across as more “financially savvy” or frugal than he
is by saying things like, “I had a coupon” or that it was “discounted.”
8. CHEATING
This is something that both sexes lie about, so I couldn’t leave this
off the list. Even though men and women might cheat for different
reasons, no one wants to readily admit to it, whether they’re confronted
or not. I think women might be better at cheating than men are, which
is nothing to really brag about; and we also tend to get away with it
more because most men could never imagine their woman dipping out on
them. But in the event that a man does ask his woman if she’s cheating, I
don’t see too many women admitting to it unless they want the
relationship to be over and put out of their misery.
9. PATERNITY
As heard on Maury, “You are NOT the father!” I know…this is sad, but
you’d be surprised how many women out there lie about who the father of
their children. I won’t say that this is a COMMON lie, as I would hope
that paternity is something that most women take seriously. But if a
woman’s been living foul and wants someone to take responsibility for
her child and throw her a few dollars in child support, there’s no
telling what lies will come out of desperation or fear.
