The Five Biggest Lies Men Tell And Why

Source: California Psychics

One of the biggest complaints women have about men is that they lie. As women, we tend to let men get away with dishonesty because we so desperately want to believe in them. But you can have a happier, healthier love life by paying attention to the lies your man may be telling you and holding him accountable. Here are the top five biggest lies men tell - and why they tell them.

She's just a friend

Is there a strange woman answering his phone? Sleeping on his couch? Spending late nights with him? She probably is a "friend"…but one who he also occasionally sleeps with. Men tell this lie because they want to get the most they possibly can out of all the women in their lives. The "friend" is not good enough to be a girlfriend…but he doesn't want to end things with her completely in case things don't work out with you.

I'm ready to settle down

There are two reasons men who are actually not ready to settle down say they are. One is that they think you want to hear it. They assume women are only interested in men looking for a wife and babies, so they say whatever they think will help get them laid. The other reason men say they want to settle down is because they genuinely believe they want to settle down… until they are in the position to actually make the commitment. Then they may suddenly decide it's not what they wanted after all.

It's not you, it's me

Sometimes it really is you. Men aren't as accomplished as women at the fine art of polite conflict resolution. Where a woman might feel comfortable telling a man she's not interested, men are much more afraid of direct communication. When he says, "It's not you, it's me," he's really saying "I'm just not that into you." Take it for what it is and move on.

It was a one-time thing

When men are exposed as cheaters, the first excuse they offer is that is was a "one-time thing." In reality, cheating is usually a pattern of behavior that is rooted in much more than a one-time lapse of judgment. If your man cheats and swears it will never happen again, don't just take him at his word. You just can't trust that he'll be honest about something he's already lied to you about.

I'd never lie to you

Even the "good" guys (and "good" girls), stretch the truth sometimes. Whether it's his answer to "Do these jeans make my butt look big?" or his praise for your mother's meatloaf, chances are, he's told you more than a few white lies. Most of these fudges of truth are meant to protect your feelings and don't necessarily reflect his commitment to an honest, open relationship.

There may be a problem, though, if your man continually asserts how honest he is. If he frequently makes a big deal of assuring you that he'd never lie to you, it may be a sign that he's overcompensating for dishonesty.

Other lies to watch out for:

I'll call you 

When a man says "I'll call you," we tend to think he means he'll call within the next few days. But for a man, "I'll call you," just means that he'll talk to you again sometime before he dies.

I just got tested 

"Trust me" isn't good enough for your body. If sexual health is important enough for him to "get tested," it's also important enough for him to use a condom anyway.

It's complicated 

It's not complicated: he has a girlfriend but wants to sleep with you, too.

I'm not really into porn / strippers / bachelor parties / Paris Hilton 

Most women think their man is not that into this kind of thing. Yet the sex industry makes millions every day. You do the math.

Let's talk about it later 

He's really saying, "Let's end this conversation and never talk about it again."

Now before you go getting up at arms, there are always exceptions to these guidelines, and we women are far from perfect ourselves. But if your guy is uttering any of these common fibs (or fables, since some little white lies can turn very, very dark), it's a call to attention. And that's what you've got to do when you suspect something: consider yourself warned.

10 tips to keep respect in your relationship

1. Texting instead of sending a birthday card is not a goer. It generally tells your partner that you actually forgot their big day, and are sending a text to pretend that you haven't. Is your life really that busy?

2.Not only failing to hold a door open but actually letting it slam behind you in your partner's face is never on, no matter how much of a rush you are in. Even worse, is not saying thank you when someone holds the door open for you.

3.Email greetings cards are fine to friends if you put a bit of effort into them (ie: not the freebies you get on a Google search) but unless your significant other is miles from home with only an internet connection for company, it really does show a shocking lack of thoughtfulness.

4.Eating the last chocolate in the box without consulting your partner is unwise - if it also happens to be their favorite, it's unforgivable.

5.Rushing ahead to bag the window seat on a train, 'plane or bus before offering it to your partner could lead to an abrupt end to your relationship.

6.When it's raining, hogging the umbrella to the extent that your partner is left uncovered and soaked is not very considerate. Cuddle up, or you might find it's not just the umbrella that is left surplus to requirements.

7.Drivers who repeatedly park the car so they have loads of room to exit the vehicle, whilst their partner must squeeze like a contortionist to get out, deserve have not just their car keys confiscated, but their relationship too.

8.Taping over or deleting your partner's favorite programmes from your Sky+ planner in order to make room for your own, is not just lacking in chivalry, it's just plain mean!

9.The definition of a swine is a one who hogs the remote control 24/7, especially if they go to the extent of actually taking it off their partner when they enter the room.

10.Insisting your partner always goes to the bar to get the drinks in, especially when you're out in a big group with most of your mates, is not just tight, it's rude!

Finding your soulmate: Is it a mission impossible?

Will I ever find my soul mate? Is there a perfect soul mate somewhere for me? I often heard these questions which surpasses from every generation in finding someone to whom we feel constantly connected and personal relationship with. Being in a relationship is a challenging yet dramatic one. Just as what we see in the movie, read in novels, it is just a series of ups and down situation, a climax and an end. Many relationships end up nothing, why? Were we mistaken? Was that person not our soul mate  Or we just can't able to make things work out?

I had been in a relationship that for me, perhaps the man to share my whole life with but eventually as the relationship goes on I found it not productive and somewhat possessive.

A love story

There’s only one good thing about breaking up and that’s making up, especially during the holidays. Why do people fall in love and the end up crying? Breaking up is something like untying a rope to a tree; breaking a glass or tearing a piece of paper. Being meant to be in a relationship in spite of the obstacle the couple encounter is not possible so long if any of them will do the first move to initiate the make up. If love is still prevailing, why not cope up the lost time? I will share to you the love story of my friend. I had known this relationship because I was the “sumbungan” of their happy and sad memories of their relationship.

THE BREAK-UP:
“Looking back, I know that I freaked out; I became a commitment-phobe,’ says 25-year-old Samantha. After she graduated from college in 2002, Samantha returned home to- leaving behind Dave, her boyfriend of two years. ” Dave still had another year of school left,’ says Samantha. “We were totally in love, and I tried very hard to do the long- distance- relationship thing- we would see each other almost every weekend. But eventually we got so caught up in our own lives that we practically stopped talking.”
After a series of strained phone conversations, Samantha and Dave ended their relationship. Determined to make the most of her new freedom, Samantha began to date “a lot”, but she couldn’t stop thinking about Dave. No matter how many dinner dates she laughed through, he was on her mind: “I kept asking myself, how I could have let him go?’
The breakup wasn’t easy for Dave either. “When we ended, I was so upset, “remembers Dave, 24. “I missed Samantha terribly, but there was nothing I could do. She was in Cagayan; I was in Manila. I just had to get on with my life.”


THE MAKE-UP:

When Dave graduated a year later, he moved to Cebu City. Unknown to him, Samantha had also moved to the city to pursue her medical course. Then at 7:00 on New Year’s morning, Samantha received a call that made her heart sink. Her best friend was phoning to say that she had been to a bar the night before and had bumped into Dave- with his new girlfriend, a beautiful blond. “When my friend told me she saw Dave with another girl, I cried my eyes out and called him immediately, “Samantha recounts. “ It was vey weird. I cried even more on the phone. I just missed him so much.”
Understandably, Dave had his reservations. “I didn’t want to get hurt,” he says, “but I couldn’t not see her.” He agreed to meet Samantha for a holiday drink.
Samantha recalls her feelings when she met Dave again: “I felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach. My hands were shaking. The conversation was very awkward. We were both trying to pretend that life over the past year had been great, when in truth we were both hiding a lot of sadness.” But says Samantha with a big grin, “A couple of drinks were just like old times again.”
The evening ended with a good-night kiss, and they quickly picked up their relationship where they’d left off. “We fell in love all over again,” Dave says. “That was two years ago. Now. I can’t imagine life without her.” And that other blond? Promptly banished to Christmas past.
