In this article, I share five of the most common lies guys tell you when they have feelings for you and on dating sites.

These will surely inform you what guys lie about the most.

The five most common lies guys tell you, whether on a dating site or a date, are:

  1. Their relationship status
  2. Their age
  3. Their height
  4. What do they like about you, or why do they love you
  5. Where they live

People who are prolific liars lie about 17 times each day, but they are the exception to the average.

It is worth noticing, however, that the average person lies about zero to two times, according to a scientific study where students self-reported how often they lied.

If you want to read the entire study, here it is.

People lie differently, but most of the time, it’s telling small white lies like you like the gift you received when you hate it in reality or that your friend’s outfit looks fantastic when you think it’s the ugliest thing you saw.

If you think that guys lie about everything, you’re too generalizing, and it’s not true.

Yes, some men lie sometimes, but not all men do, and not every time they open their mouths.

So, why do men lie when they do, and are there any reason for it?

There are two obvious reasons for that. One is to keep things private, but the other reason is more sinister, and I will go into more detail below; but first, you might want to know this interesting fact.

Why Do Guys Lie About Being Single?

As I already told you, not all men lie all the time.

Those who lie about being single are often married men, and you can easily spot them by looking at their hands.

If you spot a part of the ring finger that is paler than the rest of the finger, you can rest assured that he is a married or an engaged man who is looking for sex and wants to cheat on his partner.

If you want to have him as a casual partner, then, by all means, go ahead.

Even if I don’t recommend this behavior, I can understand why single women want a man already in a committed relationship.

However, if you want to know more about why guys cheat, you might find this article informative.

Why Guys Lie About Having a Girlfriend?

Sometimes guys lie about having a girlfriend because they don’t like a woman chasing after them.

It might be that he thinks you are too old, too young, or just not “right” for him, and if she hates him, he is horrible.

If you still want to pursue him, I recommend that you say these powerful words to him.

Why Would a Man Lie About His Age?

Men who lie about their age are typically older men who want to date younger women.

If he lies to you, it’s because he thinks you’re cute and sweet and wants to date you but thinks he’s a little too old.

So, most of the time, it’s what would qualify as a white lie.

If he’s cheating on his partner, it can be a sure way not to allow you to look him up on the Internet so you can track him down in case he makes you pregnant.

Why Guys Lie About Liking You?

Some men are pretty childlike, and some even like to play games with you.

These dishonest men lie, cheat on their partner, behave like complete morons if you ask most other men and give men, as a general, a bad reputation.

Men who behave like this are of low quality and don’t deserve to be in a relationship with you.

Instead, I recommend that you read how you can find yourself a high-quality man who will love and cherish the unique and wonderful woman I’m sure you are.

Most men want to sleep with you and dump you the following day.

Why Guys Lie About Loving You?

For the same reason, some men lie about loving you when all they want is to sleep with you once, and then you will never hear from them again.

If you spot one of these signs, you can be sure he doesn’t love you.

Why Do Guys Lie on Dating Sites?

Men who lie on dating sites fall into two categories:

  1. Men who want to cheat on your partner
  2. Men who want to pull a romance scam on you

The first category of men is someone I’ve discussed quite often in this blog quite recently.

However, the second category is a man I discussed a while back when I shared how Internet scams work and how you can easily spot scammers so that you won’t get fooled.

It would be best to read that article to know how to spot a scammer.

How to Stop Men from Lying to You

If you want to stop men from lying to you, all of the articles above will surely help you achieve it.
