Lies Men Tell Women About Themselves

What woman hasn't experienced this type of man at least once in their life? Not too many can say they haven't fallen for the guy who tells so many lies about himself that he might as well not even exist. Some men do it pathologically or compulsively, and some just seem to stretch the truth just enough to impress the woman they're after. Let's take a look at these types of men, and some reasons why they may do it.

Lets' start of with the man who only seems to stretch the truth just enough to make him sound like he is Mr. Wonderful. You know the guy, the one who thinks little white lies never really hurt anyone, and what the woman doesn't know won't hurt her. Unfortunately, lying can and does hurt these women, and when they find out about the lies, the trust goes straight out the window.

So, what type of truth stretching and little white lies does this type of man tell? It's usually about how much money he makes, what position he may hold at work, how many girlfriends he has had in the past, and whether he is dating just you and no one else. For some reason this type of man doesn't think ahead to the fact that maybe some day you will have a serious relationship and will actually find out that he doesn't make as much money as he said. Yes, he's dumb enough to leave the pay stub from his paycheck lying around and you just happen to see it. Well, I guess when he told you he made $17.50 an hour; he really should have said $7.50. You may be invited to a company party, or run into one of his co-workers while out and about. Ooops, that's when it comes out that he works as a security guard, not in special investigation law enforcement.

Well, than there's that day you are sitting around the family table at one of the holidays, and his Mom slips and says she is so glad her little boy finally met someone, as he hadn't dated in forever. She then reveals you're only the third girl he has ever dated. So, much for the hot Romeo he tried to convince you he was, and how glad you should be that he picked you over ALL those other girls. Well it's then when you finally realize you are with a man with really low self-esteem that needs to embellish his life, as he truly believes you otherwise wouldn't be interested in the real deal.

Should you do anything in regards to this type of man? Well, that's up to you. I don't think this is a bad guy, just a sad one that needs some counseling for his low self-esteem. If you really care about him, you may want to give him a chance to figure out that he doesn't have to be Superman to get someone to love him.

Now, the more dangerous kind of man that tells serious lies, and tries to manipulate you. This is the guy that may be trying to take you for your life savings, or use you for a place to stay and as a meal ticket. This one lies about everything. He will say anything he needs to say to get you to believe he is sincere about how he feels about you. He may have anti-social behavior or be a sociopath. He wants what he wants and doesn't care what he has to do to get it. He may use nice flowery words in the beginning but that may lead to intimidation, coercion or worse later on down the road. He will make you believe he is your Prince Charming or Knight in Shining Armor, all the while just calculating how to take advantage you and then hitting the road. This type of man is really hard to spot, as he is oh so very good at what he does. Please remember a woman who falls pray to this type of man is NOT stupid. She is usually a very kind, loving, open person. This is why this type of man picks her.

So, what can you do about this type of man? Start by realizing if he seems to good to be true, you are probably in trouble. Stay aware; don't take anything at face value. If he's honest he won't care if you ask questions. Before you get too serious, do a little background check. You will be surprise at what you may find. I once checked on a man that wanted to date me when I became suspicious of his age. He looked too young for the age he was telling me. So, I checked him out and found out he was several years younger than he said. Why did he say he was older than he was? Because it's harder to find the right person on a background check. Well, I was too smart for him, I finally found him and a domestic violence conviction he had on his record. This type of man needs to be dropped like a hot potato. NO second-guesses here, he is a serious threat in your life. Chances are this type of man has serious character defects, and there's no hoping for a transformation. Do yourself a favor and move on.

The whole point of this article is to realize that no matter how much we want to believe someone is telling us the truth, the chances are they might not be. This can cause minor problems as in the first case I wrote about, or very serious problems as in the second case. ALWAYS remember, it is better to be safe then sorry. If he gets offended by anything you ask, or check on, chances are he is lying about something and you may have some problems coming your way. Remember every time he opens his mouth you have a 50/50 chance he is telling you the truth, and the same odds that he is lying!
