I don't think the intent is to be completely pathological. For me when it comes to maybes that mean no, it's because I don't want to hurt a guy's ego, I recognize that it does take a lot to ask certain things (dates, for example). I tend to follow those maybes with a reason that equals "probably not" such as my schedule having no free time at all. Maybes that mean yes are used because I really want to at the time, but I know myself well enough to know that by the time it's supposed to happen, I won't want to. When it comes to a solid yes or no, I always mean what I say. It irritates me when someone says "I'm going to the store" their partner says "do you want me to come" they say "no" or "if you want to" but after the trip to the store and argument occurs because they had to go alone.

... assuming you're making this bitter generalization after you were rejected- because emotions are not black and white. They're not something that you can be 100% certain about at all times. There are so many variables involved in how you feel about someone that change by the hour as well so..
Just learn how to cope with real life better next time. Resorting to gradeschool methods of calling women 'pathological liars' just because they didn't give you what you wanted will do nothing but make you look like a little bitch and will not make you win over a girl any time soon, either.
Things aren't always black and white... you don't always know exactly what you want and a lot of woman shy away from confrontation or perceived confrontation. For many people it's not a game, at least not for them.
Sometimes it's because they don't want to hurt guys feelings but in most cases it's because they want to have a guy to string along or be a backup option (hypergamy). The moment you hear that, just leave. No one is worth or even deserves to be a backup option.
1. It can be a very polite rejection and they don't want to be blunt.
2. They are still unsure and are keeping the option of both YES and NO open.
3. Yes, it's possible they are just lying and are giving you false hopes

They usually say that trying to be nice but thats not nice at all..
I wouldn't say pathological liars but this is a good question! Why do girls do this? You ladies always want us guys to say it as it is, say what you mean.
Women like to keep the door open so if you become a high status male in the future (who they all want), you can't use the you rejected me card. They said "maybe" not no.
In other words a girl says maybe next her.Well sometimes girls just sort of say what they don't mean so they can seem more chill and if that's not the case then it's probably because they are just nervous
If I need more time to think about it, I'll give a maybe. If it's no, and I know it's a no I will say that.
Cause if we say no we get "she's missing out on a nice guy" or some shit like that.
Justin Bieber made a song abour it. Its called what do you mean
No point asking girls this- we're pathological liars, you'll never get the real answer.
Well first things first, not all girls are like this. But for the girls who do (like myself) it's because we don't want to hurt you, so we give you that answer. We can't bring ourselves to say the truth because we feel bad.
Yes perhaps, but no. Maybe yes, probably no. Leaning towards no, but yes
keeping options open because we're indecisive.
Because women want your money when they say that.
to avoid being too blunt
most of the time lol
We are afraid of hurting you. ☹️
