Lisa Wexler: Call It Hormone Addition Therapy and Make a Deal
Dori Hartley: Russell Crowe Saved My LIfe
Yet another bit of statistical data to rub in your boyfriend's face -- men are big, stinking liars. According to new research, men fib twice as often as women, about six times per day on average. Add that up over the course of a lifetime and that's 126,672 times a guy will twist the truth.
According to the study, guys often lie about "drinking" (hmmmmmm!) and the amount of sex they've had. But the most frequent lie for men was the same as for women: the old "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine" bit we use to hide our real feelings or passive-aggressively torture our loved ones.
The study was one of those awesome funded-by-a-PR-company-for-publicity numbers (AUGH! We've played right into their hands.) conducted in conjunction with the Fox crime show, "Lie to Me." Which is funny, because we're pretty sure the number one lie we told today was "Oh, I've toooooootally heard of 'Lie to Me.'"

I've always like the one our parents told us, as we did to our kids. That is walking to and from school in the snow, 5 miles each way, some even throw in the fact of being barefoot!

People will lie more and more to those of us who simply do not stop them in their tracks. From the time my kids were small, I have taught them to question anyone that says something that doesn't sound right. It drives the liars crazy, and it puts them on notice. However during puberty I did notice that my kids were more willing to let lies slide if it suited their purpose - and I am hoping this means they are becoming savy adults and not the opposite.

I had one child. I didn't lie to him because I guess I'm
rather streight forward,and that can get you into trouble
too with people, so I did tell white lies to save their feelings
and of course excuse myself from not going to a boring
party. He propably noticed that because I don't know any-
one who doesn't tell white lies. It's the big awful lies that
we should be aware of. And petty gossiping that often is
harmful and either half truth or a made up storys.

I think men lie more then women because if men tell the truth a woman usually ends up yelling at them or something. When women as how you are doing they really want you to say ok that way they can complain about their day. Yeah we really aren't intrested in how your feeling...we just want to share what we feel...men are men they aren't ever supposed to complain!
