Why men lie so much?

Question

genericname85 · Accepted Answer

the correct question is: why do men that you surround yourself with lie to you while normal men don't usually lie more than women? everyone has a huge influence on what sort of people they come in contact with, shaping their own experience and thereby molding their opinions of people, creating biases. you should figure out if what you observe is a trend or skewed by your life choices.

Both men and women lie, just like someone on Quora tried taking me to Google Chat. Now, do I look like someone who deserves to be scammed? I swear these assholes never give up they don't care what they say or do but thank God I can see through a scammer, but I will say one thing, thank God she sucks at trying to scam me.

Not all men lie though. If that is your experience you should take a step back and do some self reflection. Why are you attracting liars? What do you find attractive about them? I think if you’re able to pinpoint the issue you might be able to learn from it and grow. Therapy is a great tool too. Sometimes it is nice having someone validate you and help you on your journey

I know I'm only 17 but not all guys lie. My boyfriend doesn't lie. I think it's the guys you attract like @levin said. I read a lot of psychology books because that's what I want to be is a psychologist, and we attract what we feel we are worthy of. I'm not saying it's your fault, it's just what you are used to because of low self esteem.

Levin · Answer

No they don't. You're attracted to men who lie. Usually due to self-esteem issues or other bad relationships with men growing up.

Mostly because women can’t handle the truth. No excuse not to say the truth, but that’s the reason why men choose to lie so much.

Men lie to women for sex. Women lie to men for control.
