Why men? Do we as the male species have to be liars. There are way to many females that are guilty of the same infraction. Just because we have a penis does not make us guilty.

im not male sorry but if people lie about pointless things it could be a mental issue, and yes things could be lied about or made up that has more importance, a girl i knew lied about everything she didnt even know she was doing it haf the time, she told herself something and she really believed she was being truthful. she said little lies about being somewhere or what shed eaten to lying about being pregnant.

Here's the thing about liars, LBM, no matter WHAT gender: People who maliciously lie have no honor. You don't have to go any further than that. Note that I DID say "maliciously lie". That implies an intent to deceive, harm, or hide something. You can lie directly, you can lie by omission, you can tell 'white lies'. There are all kinds of shades of lying and reasons & excuses, too. Bragging can be a form of lying, even if the truth is told, because the intent of bragging is usually to make a person seem to be more than he actually is. People may tell a lie to conceal sensitive information you do not have a need to know, or to protect you. The closest thing I can think of right now about this would have to do with, say, military information: However, most people who deal with classified informtion don't lie about it to anyone...they merely say "I can neither confirm nor deny...." because lying actually passes information, too. I don't know why this person lied about something as simple as bed time. Maybe he's embarrassed about the hours he keeps? Maybe he has a medical condition having to do with sleep and he is ashamed or sensitive about it? Maybe he has a night life on the side that he doesn't want people to know about? I can't say. Certainly if he suffers from some form of insomnia he may feel this is private/embarrassing. In this case, even though he may be lying about his sleep periods he is not necessarily doing it to cause harm to you. But I WILL say this: don't ignore the lies. don't obsess over them, necessarily either. Just file them away in your mind under the folder which says: "Things that make you say 'hmmmmmm'...". My ex wife put out a lot of signals which I could have easily used to understand what kind of person she really was, had I not totally ignored them. One thing you can always do: Ask! Remember that in relationships, things that are assumed often grow into things which become real relationship killers because of misunderstandings. Oh...and file any answers you get under the same file, too.

I personally believe that women do a lot more lying than men..about anything/everything. Anyone who lies about anything at all ever is a phony and not to be trusted..if you lie about little things (like, say, your age for instance) you will also lie about big things. No gender has a lock on telling lies, unfortunately. The important thing is to identify the liars and get them out of your life! :)
