Why Women Lie Differently Than Men - Are Women better Liars?

Relationships are supposed to be open, sharing, and honest but  56% of women lie about their feelings .Most babes might be upset with me..but based on my ongoing research, I believe that women and men frequently lie in different ways and for different reasons. One cause for a gender divide when it comes to telling the truth is that we live in a patriarchal society where despite the great gains for women, men still have more agency. And those who wield more power have more choices and opportunities that exist simply by virtue of their status. There is a complexity to how female lies manifest: Women keep secrets and lie to protect the secret. The secret exists for the sake of appearance, to avoid judgment, scrutiny and criticism. When we are raised to be good girls good girls who always 'get it right' and never have any problems it's sometimes easier to not reveal any pain, turbulence, disappointment or trouble in one's life.

Surely, there are a few familiar lies that are no-brainers; the ones women tell about age, weight, mothers-in-law, flawed friendships, botox or cosmetic surgery. The more serious lies that women tell include how they truly feel about a romantic relationship, about being a wife, about infidelity (including an affair of the mind), about motherhood and about their own accomplishments. Add to this the dark secrets eating disorders, abuse, incest, paternity and addictions. Women have said they feel the need to lie about how a child is doing in school or at work. Others have spoken of covering up her lost job or, more disturbing, covering up her husband's lost job. The decision is to tell friends and family that the new position is that of 'consultant. When i considered all of the above, i concluded that female lies manifest as a woman's quest for reprisal, a way to avoid being evaluated and found wanting.
