Hi Stars --

I'm wondering what it is you believe men lie about. Sometimes, there are communication differences. For example, "I'll call you," means "I will call you within the next few days" to a female. It is a commitment. To a man, it's like saying, "Good-bye." It is not a commitment.

I teach some college communication courses. That particular phrase has been a source of classroom debate.

Most people lie (1) to save face or (2) avoid consequences.

A man may lie to live up to the ideal he believes the woman holds of him. Or, he may not admit he is seeing other women because he fears the consequences of no longer being allowed to see (especially have sex with) the female.
