Emotional Product

Typically, men find it very easy to lie. In many situations--lying is a way of escape for some and for others a means to protect their relationship. The list of reasons is vast and we could speed hours discussing them. However, for the sake of time--I've asked men to share their reasoning for lying and found the top 5 reasons in-which men are willing to lie.

THE TOP 5 COUNT DOWN TO MAN'S MAIN REASONS FOR LYING

5. Lying Just Because

The 'Just Because' kind of liar--lies because he's good at it and he can simply get way it. His agenda; always seek to get over on someone. But wait! There are consequences. Dishonest people will start the believe the lies they tell and eventually will end up deceiving themselves.

4. Lying to Impress

When a man wants to please or impress someone just to make themselves look good, they are tempted to lie. For instance...when a man is attracted to a woman, some men who are not confident in themselves will create the illusion that they're something that they're not. Even among his family and friends--he will give you the impression that his life style is better than it really is just to prove he is successful.

3. Don't Want to Hurt Her feelings

Men in serious relationships have learned that there are certain truths to stay away from. You know; the one question where she asks, "How do I look?" or "Do you think I'm gaining weight?" Does she want the truth or does she want you to give her a warm and fuzzy feeling about herself. Here--a man may lie out of chivalry; his way of protecting her feelings.

2. To Hide Deceptive Behaviors

Men are capable of lying about a variety of things; however, cheating, stealing, and sex are most common of them all. Your fear of being exposed or your wrongdoings discovered is the greatest motive for a deceptive liar. When we decide to make a conscious attempt to deceive we only compound the problems in our marriage or relationships.

1. She'll Over-React

The number one reason men said they lie is because he thinks his woman will over-react. Obviously men who fall into this category have experienced these emotions from their spouse or partner in the past and have decided--it is far better to lie and forgo the truth just to keep the peace. You see, women are more trusting in their relationships; therefore, they expect the same in return. When we failed to trust them enough--from the beginning--to be honest with them, they lose confidence in our ability to be truthful in the future. As a result they become frustrated and angry producing an emotional product we men call, Over-reacting.

In many of my writings I speak of conflicts. Lying is another way of avoiding them. As men--we should learn the value of conflict. People who are in relationships where they are not afraid of conflict can get more resolved than those who avoid conflict all together. When you're in a relationship--especially a marital one--you have to understand that you must be honest regardless of the out-come. Lying disrupts the unity of the relationship; upsetting the peace while destroying trust. In the end, the dishonest behavior of a man will only work against him, and his woman--although she wants to--will no longer trust him. Sure, you may find peace--for now--but in the long run, you won't be able to enjoy any of your dishonestly gains.
