Men Lie 6X a Day, Twice That of Women

Congressman Joe Wilson - you know, the guy who skyrocketed to fame for yelling "You lie" during a speech by President Obama - is technically correct. Kind of.

According to this new "study" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. It finds that men lie an average of six times a day - twice as much as women:

Researchers found the average man tells six fibs a day to their partner, boss and work colleagues - a total of 42 each week.

That amounts to 2,184 a year or a staggering 126,672 over the average lifetime.

Top ten lies men tell:

1. Nothing's wrong, I'm fine
2. This will be my last pint
3. No, your bum doesn't look big in that
4. I had no signal
5. My battery died
6. Sorry, I missed your call
7. I didn't have that much to drink
8. I'm on my way
9. It wasn't that expensive
10. I'm stuck in traffic

A "study" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment? Something tells me that this might actually be a promotional gimmick for some upcoming film about lies.

This story is a fake. Consider the other stories this "Newspaper" considered their Editor's best picks.

# The woman with a chronic fear of... kneecaps
#

SUZANNE MOORE: Man, woman or dignified hermaphrodite? Caster must decide, no one else
#

Pictured: The Queen staying at a Best Western hotel (or is it really her?)

PETER HITCHENS: Our children can't hold a knife and fork, so what does UNESCO teach them?

Also note that in the top ten are only lies that men with overbearing wives tell to benefit their wives feelings.

So 2 and 7 are the same, 4 5 and 6 are the same, 1 feeds into diffusing how deep our thoughts are that we just don't want to share, 3 feeds in to diffusing female paranoia, etc. etc. etc.

It's not a lie if it's a deflection. That's called diplomacy.

Reminds me of the Chris Rock Special:

Men lie the most,
women tell the biggest lies.

''l'm at Kenny's house.'' That's a man's lie.

A women's lie is like, ''lt's your baby.''

That's an interesting study,, now did it take into consideration the lies we less than perfect people tell ourselves as well?

I also believe age and maturity levels need to be accounted for,, to make an accurate reading on how common,, and maybe needful some lies are for some..

I think it's not so much that women lie, they just speak a different language where what they say actually has a totally different meaning.

E.g.
'I'm bored' -> Find something for us to do
'I'm just going to have a quiet night reading' -> Take me out somewhere
'I've heard that movie's really good' -> Let's go see that movie

and so on.
