 Why do Men Lie to their Girlfriends?

There may be various reasons why a guy would choose to lie to his girlfriend. This brings up one really sweet incident to my mind. One of my good friends, Manju, never did know how to cook and when she met this really amazing guy and started going steady with him, she decided to whip up a good meal for him. The other day I happened to bump into her boyfriend so I casually asked him about the evening spent at her place! He told me he was really deep into the relationship though he admitted she sure was a bad cook! I was appalled thinking he may have blurted the truth to Manju but he reassured me saying he lied and had told her she is an excellent cook! Well, I guess this man really lied for a reason and it was only because he loved her to a great extent. It left me with a nice feeling all over.

The other day I came across another situation.  A couple from my place! The girl had worn something that looked like it was dug up from the attic and when she cooed gently to her boyfriend, saying, ‘How do I look honey?’, I was appalled when her boyfriend said, ‘As beautiful as ever!’ I smiled as I thought if beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder or was that guy really lying to keep his girl happy! There are of course many reasons why a man would lie in this instance; it may simply be to keep out of trouble and being nagged by the girlfriend!

So, I came back to the golden question, why do men lie to their girlfriends? Apart from white lies, men also lie probably if they end up being habitual liars. For such men, telling a lie is no big deal; they lie for fun and as a form of entertainment. For them, telling a lie is merely a habit without any malicious intentions! Well, in that case, it would be difficult to spot a habitual liar although time would reveal the truth! For instance, I knew this person who often pretended to be busy! None of his dates planned at exclusive restaurants ever worked out, there were only false promises saying, ‘I’m busy’ or the usual, ‘I have a very important conference to attend’. In this case the reason could have been genuine, but there are times I felt lies was being told as a cover up for lack of interest. Whatever, the reason, one can never cover up lies for long! Truth always finds a way out and comes to the surface when a person least expects it to!

Men as well as women lie for various reasons (known to them!) But if you wish to be in a long-lasting relationship, then you need to be truly honest to yourself first and then with your partner! With love and trust as the base, you can then have a healthy relationship you can certainly cherish forever.

excellent yaar
i hit always for truth
if u know the truth u can try to change or become better (cook, look...)
i hate liar of course for the first story ok but he hav to tell her truth then she can become better cook...
lie cant be an habit for me and that habit cant be an excuse cos if is the liar habit those to whome he or she lie dont know they trust him, they r confident...
lie cant never be an excuse and some time become a beggining of probleme in the couple cos if he or she can lie just for little thing then u can easily trust that he or she lie also for others things more important...

tx for post yaar
u r right

Why do you call them lies? They are the lubricants for a smooth and steady relationship. However, if these lies happen to physically affect or cause harm to a person they must be avoided. If you feel that a relationship should not be based on lies, you should first change the profile photo on your zone which itself shows that you too lie.

You are right when you say that love and trust is the base for any healthy relationship and I wouldn't classify a man telling his girlfriend that she cooks well or that she looks pretty or a man who claims Amir Khan's mug as his as lies. At most they can be mere exaggerations. I'm sure you must be looking far more handsome than Amir Khan. Great post.
