The lying man is caught up sooner than the lame dog. This is how the saying goes, and we know a notorious liar among women and men alike. Which one doesn't lie better?
There are those among us who yell at them when they are silent. They behave in confusion, fold their hands, flutter, flush. Others lie like a stream of water. What they say is so plausible that we don’t even assume it could be any kind of bias.
In our friendship and love relationships, and even in all our human relationships, honesty would be very important, but one is mortal and lying. In many cases, it’s just a small distortion in order to protect ourselves, or to put it in a better color, or perhaps protect someone else. And in addition to harmless lies, we can sometimes go into much greater fraud.
Which gender lies better?
Women can get into big games, but men are also good at polishing themselves and dazzling to do so. According to one study, men are the ones who cultivate the science of lying much better.
There were nearly 200 participants in the experiment, which looked at the proportion of gender-based lies, but even looked for the answer to where they do it. Half of the two hundred participants represented the female gender and the other half represented the male gender. Some of the individuals surveyed lied in such a professional way that they could hardly be noticed, but it is surprising that more people used the face-to-face way of lying, but did not so much take advantage of the possibility of distorting the facts on social media sites. It was also observed that men lied more often, but confessed in a given situation. Most of all, their goal was to bring themselves out of a better situation, to portray themselves in a better color. In fact, there were those who also confessed to using a lie on a daily basis and raised the lie to a professional level over time. And those who lie on a daily basis have already developed a well-functioning strategy and are handing it over as credibly as possible.
Everyone is lying, there is no doubt about it. We can call it a distortion of the facts, or a blunder, if you prefer, and most of the time it is harmless, we just try to protect ourselves or someone else, but if the lie is common, even if it works really well, it becomes more of a disadvantage after a while. As we know ourselves, the lie will sooner or later come to light.
