Why do Men Lie?

The answer is more complicated then one might think and requires in depth analysis and study into the Human mind, because at the end of the day, we are just Human, and to simply answer this question with a mere short article would not do justice to the beauty that is the Man Brain.
The real question and one I can easily discuss here in a few hundred words, is not ‘why do men lie’ but simply…
‘What is it that makes men lie?
The answer is just as simple, the answer is ‘Women’!
Now, obviously I wouldn’t just leave it at that, as that would be unfair and sexist, and would create a multitude of hate mail by feminists from around the globe, so I will briefly explain why ‘Women’ are the single most powerful reason for men having to lie.

As Men, we are simple creatures and as the only true Human Gender (women are from Venus or some other irrational thinking planet) we can live and be happy without the need to complicate every issue. From the very beginning of time we enjoyed Drinking, Sleeping, Hunting with our other Cave Man friends, and generally being happy. Until one day a woman uttered ‘why cant you kill a big bear like Ungo did, you always catch small bear’. That’s all it took and from that day forward our insecurity grew and we were forced to make excuses for our lack of skill, or our lack of intelligence or how much money we made. It even began to happen between men and we began to lie to each other about the size of fish we caught.

In all Honesty (haha), if it were not for Women we would probably not have evolved, we would not have endeavoured to catch bigger fish, to improve our lifestyle, to walk on the moon. Yes, we have achieved greatness because women and now men are keeping score. No longer can we blissfully go unaware about our neighbour’s accomplishments and live our lives simply being happy. We are now forced to cover up our inadequacies and enhance the truths so that we may be regarded as Men.

This effect has multiplied through the years and we now lie about the simplest of things always in an effort to cover up our mistakes, our insecurities. It is why we lie about how many beers we drank, how much money we spent, or even how good we are at our jobs. We do it because we do not want to be less of a man. The ironic thing is that you are perpetrating the problem, and in fact should be proud of who you are and what you do. Stop the insanity and enjoy your life the way you want to.

In summary it is women who drive us to be more and if you generally need to lie often, then maybe you too believe that you can be more and are selling yourself short. Maybe you should drink less, and maybe you should save more money. If we think about it we lie to be Men, but in fact we are lesser men for it. If you like being broke and lazy than be honest, but if you are compelled to lie then it is because you want more out of life and hence should go out and get it, and the next time you are asked why you lie, just simply reply ‘Because I want to be a better man’!
