Why Men Lie
By peace | January 31, 2007
I hate people who lies, especially from people who are close to you. I hate to see family members lying to each other. I hate to see my father lying to my mother. I hate to men lying to their women. I hate it even more when my husband lies to me.
The men which I had encountered in my life were my grandfathers (my mother’s father and my father’s father) and my grandfather-in-law (my husband’s grandfather). All the grandfathers were dead now. All died of illness. The men which I have encountered in some parts of my life are my colleagues, some workers, some cleaners at the neighbourhood, and salespeople and businessmen. These are people who we have little contact with and we may not know a lot about them. Those men whom I often associate with are my brothers, husband, my son and friends.
People are often defensive and protective of themselves. When a little child broke a glass, for fear of getting scolding by the parents, he lies that he never broke it. Likewise, adults tell lies for fear of getting into trouble, for fear of getting scolded or fear of facing the consequences. Let’s take a look at my views of why men lie.
Why men lie
Men are the most egoistic creatures on land. They have high level of testosterones in their body. They are eager to win and they are always ready to fight. They are made the ability to fight and protect their women. There are various reasons why people lie. Here, we are talking about men — why men lie?
Men are by nature flirtatious. Men tells lies because they want to avoid troubles and problems. One lie leads to many lies. Men tell lies so as to hide what they are doing. Men lies so that their women, be it girlfriend or wife, will not be disappointed by them. Men lies to other men so that they can feel proud of themselves. For example, lying to people that they are rich is one example. Still another example, lying that they are single when in fact they are married, so that they will be crowded by women. When men are surrounded by women, they feel proud of themselves.
Men lie to their parents so as to avoid nagging by the mother. Men lie to their parents so as to avoid lecturing or scolding by their fathers. Men lie so that they can feel capable. Men lie to get the prestige and fame they desire. Men are capable of anything when they are desperate.
Men also lies for the sake of money. Money makes the world go round. He/She that has money rule the world. He/she who has money have power over someone who need money. Men can do anything because of money and they can lie because of money.
While not all men are the same, and not all men lie as much as some men does. Nobody is perfect in this world. There are many types of lies. Some lies have the intentions to console, some the intentions to heal and some the intention to flirt and still others the intention to steal. Whatever reasons why men lie, they are hurting those around them.

In my opinion, men who has no fear of God, they tell lies, these men are not being courageous. They are not being realistic. They are not able to face lives. They are turning away from real lives by lying to others and by lying to themselves. Not only are they lying to themselves, one lie lead to another lie. The lies just get bigger and bigger. Men who lies are hurting those around them by doing so. Not only are they disobeying God, they are lying to themselves and those around them.
