When we were children, we were taught it’s wrong to lie. I try my best not to do it, but my ex was a master at lying.
Why do men lie? Who knows. But men lie. And here are some tips on how to know if a man’s lying to you.
1. He has an answer for everything.
If you catch him in what you think is a lie, but he always has an answer for your suspicions, then he may be lying to you.
2. He always hesitates before answering.
If he always has to wait for a few seconds before answering a question from you, then he’s probably lying. He needs the time to think of an answer other than the truth.
3. He fidgets.
If he won’t make eye contact, or he plays with his hair or taps his feet or shakes his legs or just fidgets too much when you ask him a question, he might be lying. Scientists look for this when doing polygraph tests.
4. He has to check with his friends to get his story straight.
If you ask him where he was last night, and he has to call his friends to get their story straight before he can answer you, then he’s almost certainly lying.
5. He talks about a “friend” who lies to his girlfriend.
If he has a “friend” who he says lies to his girlfriend a lot, and he laughs about it, he may think it’s okay or funny, and might try to lie to you, too. Or he’s pretending about the “friend,” and the liar is actually him.
6. He acts guilty.
If he acts guilty, then he probably has done something wrong. If he’s done something wrong, his first reaction may be to lie about it, either by not saying anything when you ask him what’s wrong, but by just plain lying about it.
Hi Jennifer! This post is great but I’m already a specialist in finding out if he’s lying or not :) Sometimes I’m thinking if it’s good or not….because everyone is so transparent for me and I can’t trust anyone…
I believe in everything you just posted right here…because these are all the ways i get them!!! ladies you all need to read this!
I have learned over the years, that some people lie so much that after a while it is a second nature to them, and I never believe anything they are telling me. So sad,because I am sure many times they are telling the truth, but I have lost interest in hearing anything they have to say.
One can “cry wolf” for only so long…..
I would like hear more from Tavia, on her expertise of knowing when a statement is a lie.
Such true words Jennifer!!
I learned over the years how to know if some of them are lying unfortunately!!
You’ve forgotten one important tip – Sixth Sence!!
Us woman have a certain sixth sence for those things!!
Sometimes I felt them before the signs showed up! :S
Xannyyy,
You’re totally right about the sixth sense thing. Us women have the intuition of a magic practising witch. Ha Ha.
Sheila,
Hahaaa Yeah I know!!
Certain thing I feel them before coming!
Guess like always woman intuition are right!!
Go girls!! :)
Xannyyy I must totally agree with you on the Sixth Sence, I have it and sometimes I think I have to much. I always know when somebody is lying or just trying to hide the true from me. Their gestures are really predictable and after you can look them in the eyes while they are trying their best to lie…and sometimes I feel so angry…that they are looking at you but keep lying in the same time.
Well my bf is 4300km away from me and I still know when he’s lying….
Tavia,
Yeah I have the same feelings and sometimes I think I have it too much. Regarding my boyfriend, when he lies about some thing I just catch if from his first look even if he doesn’t open his much. But in that case although I feel it, I just know him too much!
