Loading ...Everybody lies. Even birds to puff up their little chests and do exotic dances to fool mates into believing they are the best. So who lies the most? Ladies, before you all go pointing at the opposite sex. A new study from WhatsYourPrice.com revealed that more women lie than men. Maybe that is why we’re so good at sniffing out a lie.
One in four women in the United States admits to not being 100% truthful on their online dating profiles. Twenty-seven percent of women lie on their online dating profiles, while only Nineteen percent of men lie on their online dating profiles. Taking into consideration what men consider as lying, I’m sure a number of women sticking their wine-stained tongues out and snorting accusations of misreporting from the male participants of the survey.
Turns out though both sexes fib, we lie about completely different things.
Women lie most about their age and their career. At a time where women are advancing in the professional world into executive positions it’s no wonder we feel pressured to inflate our accomplishments. In regards to the age thing…well, it is terrible manners to ask what a women’s age is. Men on the other hand lie most about their height and career. How many men have you dated who claimed to be six feet. Peculiar since a 5’8 woman in four inch heels should bring you at equal height…except now he’s about 2 inches shorter than you are.
Turn out our age affects our truthfulness as well. Women between the ages of 25 and 30 are more likely to lie about their age than their older or younger counterparts. On the other hand, men between the ages of 34 and 39 were more inclined to lie about their career.
Here I thought lying about being Vegan to my hippie boyfriend in college was taboo…

They forgot one, men lie about their finances. They try to make it appear they are better off then they are instead of being honest.
Actually, I think both men on the upper end and the lower end will tend to depict themselves more towards the upper middle. Most guy’s I’ve known with serious money tended to downplay it unless they are serious jerks. If a guy is interested in marriage, he will want to establish he can support children. However guys with serious net worth have learned from experience that broadcasting that net worth too loudly can attract te wrong sort.
I think this is the reason why the majority of women fall out of interest in personal ads within the first month. The most aggressive group of men usually gets the woman’s initial attention, only for her to find out again and again that most of them were full of “shot”. Men who are actually advanced in their professional careers and financial security arent going to endlessly pursue a woman and coddle their emotional needs 24/7 because we have other things to do besides a typical 9-5 job.
I just saw another “I live life to the fullest.”
The study is nice but wrong. because the question was wrong. Who admit lying? If you take an objective look to the profile I think the quote of small lies is at both genders around 50%. But the small lies are okay. But the big lies are more on the side of woman.
A man would not maipulate his photos. A look on profiles here shows that over 30% of woman pictures are “improved”.
A man on this side has no reason to lie. In the first step it is a financial agrrement between 2 persons. He pays for a date and for the woman with the offered profile.
The best way is to be honest.
