A Round Up Of The 15 Biggest Lies All Boyfriends Tell Their Girlfriends

A recent study shockingly reported that men lie six times a day on average. The study carried out by 20th Century Fox to promote the TV series Lie To Me polled 2,000 people based on their habits and they found that men lie twice as much almost every day.

Body Language expert Richard Newman revealed, "Most people can't read the signals.  They assume that if someone is hiding the truth, they would hide their face and avoid eye contact. In fact, the opposite is true. Liars usually do everything they can to convince you of the truth, sitting still and looking at you to watch your reaction. People simply overestimate their skills in this area."

There are many reasons why he might lie; either he doesn't want to hurt you with the truth, he wants to avoid drama, he wants to impress you or he thinks you won't appreciate him being honest. But what are the main lies he will insist on telling you? It's bad news ladies, but if you have heard him say any of the following - then he's likely talking absolute BS.

15 He Trusts You 100% On A Night Out

Your boyfriend won't let you in on one of his biggest secrets. There's no denying the male ego is a fragile thing and he really can't cope with thoughts of you out partying without him. He will say, "Of course I trust you" or "Just have fun, I won't worry about other guys hitting on you" but that's all lies. He knows that other guys will hit on you regardless if you tell them you have a boyfriend and that drives him crazy.

California based psychotherapist Linda Esposito explained to Psychology Today that trust issues amongst guys usually is a sign of immaturity. She said, "At a deeper level this lack of trust in others represents an immature ego that hasn't developed resilience and frustration tolerance. When you lack this foundation you expect others will let you down and not keep their word." Basically when it comes to trust issues - it's not you, it's him.

14 He's Been Too Busy To Text You Back

Now don't get us wrong, sometimes a guy can be too busy to text you back, but seriously if it's been hours maybe even days later then you're just not on his mind. Other reasons he might not be texting back could be that he wants to cool things off, he's not interested, he genuinely doesn't know what to reply or he just forgot to text back.

One Redditor revealed, "If i am really, really into a girl and I feel that I have a chance with her, I will move mountains just to be with her/talk to her. I am never too busy for someone I really like. One example would be if I were chatting, I won't tell her I'm busy even if I am because I want the conversation to go on. I don't want her to feel that she's a distraction." So unfortunately - no text back = no interest.

13 He Was Listening The Whole Time

Here's the thing - if you think he's not been listening to you the whole time then that's probably because he really wasn't. Guys tend to stop listening less when the relationship is long-term rather than in the beginning where he attempts to be more attentive. You'll also notice that he will forget important information you have told him like significant dates or groceries you asked him to pick up on the way home.

He also can't use the excuse that you talk too much as a study by gender communication specialist Deborah Tannen proved that guys talk approximately the same amount - an average 16,000 words a day. Other research shows that guys can only listen to their partners for around six minutes before his mind drifts off and starts fantasizing about something else.

12 He Only Knows Her "As A Friend"

Every guy has that one girl who is "just a friend" according to him but nothing quite beats female intuition. You might have found him 'liking' several statuses of one other girl in particular, or a work friend he meets with for drinks outside of office hours, or even catch him sending messages back and forth between them - so really is it any surprise you're curious to know exactly who she is.

The worst thing to do is start hacking into his social media accounts. Connection Coach and motivational speaker Jonathan Sprinkles told Glamour magazine, "Hacking into someone's accounts is a total violation of privacy. And it's illegal. You need to ask yourself if it's worth possibly losing your relationship as well as a friendship because you did something to him that you know you wouldn't like happening to you." Try talking out how you feel instead and what kind if behaviors you find inappropriate.

11 He's Not Jealous Of Your Past Relationships

Are you one of those girls who wake up earlier than their boyfriend just so he doesn't catch you without makeup on? You might hear from him, "But I think you look better without makeup" yet this might not be the whole truth.

31-year-old male blogger Andrew Aitken, author of Beyond the Breakup, told it exactly how it is on his relationship blog The Rules Revisited. He revealed that girlfriends do look less attractive without makeup - but - things are more intimate that way, explaining, "When I've seen my ex-girlfriends without their hair and makeup done, I've had two thoughts: (a) she is less attractive, but (b) it is nice that I get to see this side of her. It is an expression of intimacy - and her confidence - that she can be herself in my presence, and this is worth something." So basically he thinks your less attractive but is his most turned on at that point - men, nobody said they were easy to understand.

9 He Doesn't Mind Hearing About Your Drama

When you begin toxic venting about friends, work, or family - it's nice to have an understanding partner who will listen to you, but trust us when we say that daily drama can old and fast. You might think he's interested in hearing about what (insert frenemies name here) has said behind your back but really, he's likely just not bothered at all. Becoming so emotionally involved in someone else's business is exhausting over time.

You might not notice this at first and he will say things like "It's good to talk" and "You can always trust in me." But eventually his tone might change to, "Can we talk about something else?" or "Can I talk about my day?" Sometimes leaving the bad times at the school gates, so to speak, instead of dragging it home can help you cope better with other challenging people.

8 He's Happy To Just Cuddle

Bad news ladies - men don't actually enjoy cuddling as much as they lead you to believe. After those passionate moments, you might like to snuggle up next to your loved one and just melt together but really he just wants to roll over and get some sleep. In some relationships it might feel as if this stereotype doesn't exist, as he's happy to fall into a loving brace -

Michael Bader, author of What Is He Thinking?, told Psychology Today, "Here's what my clinical experience tells me: women need the reassurance that the man doesn't just want to (sleep with) her and men need the reassurance that it's OK to do just that. Women need the intimacy of post-coital connection while men need to separate from that connection. Women like to gaze into a man's eyes; men like to go to sleep."

7 He Can't Get Home Just Yet

Everyone knows that message from the boyfriend: "Can't get home just yet, waiting for a cab and I won't be long." Three hours and several drinks later he finally staggers home - so why do men always lie when they know they will get caught? Men prefer to avoid any drama so instead of telling you the truth earlier on in the night, which might only result in his phone blowing up with angry messages, so he postpones the truth.

The other reality is maybe he's just having an absolute blast with friends. His genuine intentions might not be to hurt you but rather that even though it's getting late, it's too tempting to stay, everyone around him is having fun and what's an extra hour, really? It's just frustrating when you're the one left staying up late alone.

6 He Doesn't Mind You Stealing All His Clothes

Is there anything nicer than sliding into your boyfriend's clothes? Sometimes we think we're only in the relationship for the free threads. Even though he has no hoodies, socks or even underwear left because you have stolen everything to use as your "comfy clothes", he will still likely say, "I don't mind", but it has been recently revealed that's a big lie.

Last year, the hashtag "TakeHerHoodie" started trending on Twitter and guys decided to fight back and claim their girlfriend's hoodie before the fall season kicked in. A 21-year-old student from Texas started the trend when he tweeted, "Ladies, we've had enough. You can't just take our hoodies this year without giving them back. This year we are fighting back." So as it turns out - guys do mind you're stealing all their clothes and they aren't willing to stand for it anymore.

5 He Enjoys Hanging Out With Your Friends

Introducing your boyfriend to your friends is a significant milestone in any relationship and when they hit it off together the feeling is great. When you invite your guy along to a night out with your friends, he might be happy to oblige but really he would prefer to be out with the guys.

Don't worry so much if now you've just put two and two together and realized all the excuses he's made before make sense now. A relationship doesn't mean you have to spend every night out together, after all variety is the spice of life. Also, if you feel as clarification from your friends means a lot to you then it might be time to be more confident in your own decisions. Being overly clingy is a trait most people grow out of eventually.

4 He Enjoys Your Company When You're Drunk

Nobody believes they are the funniest person in the world more than a drunken girl having fun. You might have had one too many cocktails, then met up with the boyfriend later and basically you're a mess. But it's cool right because he loves you when you're drunk? Well, not quite.

According to confession website Whisper, where people can anonymously post their true feelings, the fact is that guys really do not like their girlfriend's to drink too much. One wrote, "I hate when my girlfriend gets drunk. She acts like a five-year-old and doesn't acknowledge that she's being an idiot." Another added, "I hate when my girlfriend gets drunk at parties. So embarrassing." One nightclub manager summed up his experience as he wrote, "Drunk girls are annoying, rude, selfish, nasty and just plain awful. There is nothing cute about them!"

3 He's Doing Great At Work

You likely only ever heard of all the praise your boyfriend's boss has given to him at work and it's rare he mentions the bad days (if there are any at all). The truth is that the reality of how well his career is going will likely be sugarcoated so he only comes across as very succesful. This is partly due to his fragile ego and also his fear of failure.

It's this fear of failure that stops him from putting those shelfs up in the house like you've asked him to do a thousand times. If you want to get him to open up truthfully then take the advice of Deborah Tannen, author of You Just Don't Understand!, she told Cosmopolitan, "Face-to-face conversations can make men feel vulnerable, so getting into a serious discussion while engaged in an activity, like driving, feels safer."

2 He Doesn't Look At Other Girls

No matter how many times he will contest, "Babe, I have not looked at another woman since I met you" - we're sorry but don't believe a word. Guys searching for eye-candy on the side are completely natural and they simply can't help it. According to Dennis Prager, President of Prager University in America, they simply want to look at other women because they are not what they already have.

He explained to the Mirror, "Men find other women attractive, in large measure, just because they are other women. Men are programmed by nature to want variety, indeed endless variety." However, if you're ready to make a blindfold for every time he dares walk around in public, then don't worry too much, as Prager assured, "More than anyone else in the world, he wants you. And if you don't believe me, ask him."

1 He Doesn't Look At "Not-So-PG" Material Online

When it comes to watching adult material - guys have a very different viewpoint from that of their partners. The old saying is true in that women fall in love with what they hear and men fall in love with what see; he needs to be stimulated visually. He doesn't need to look at that kind of material to get off but the fact is that it sure does help.

In that case, it's highly likely your boyfriend has his very own porn stash and if he claims he doesn't then he's probably lying. Many girls do not like this favorite pastime of his they see it as cheating so it's no wonder he's very unlikely to confess. Sometimes, guys are just better left to have their "alone time" and be left in peace.
