" Guys lie about themselves  Men fib about themselves eight times more often than they do about other people (such as to help a friend save face).  His main lie motivator? Bragging. Guys most frequently distort the truth to appear more powerful or successful than they are.   The second most common reason dudes lie is to avoid conflict.  It&amp;#039;s why they say stuff like &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll call&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;I paid the bill yesterday&amp;quot; when they really won&amp;#039;t\u2026or didn&amp;#039;t.   Guys feel less guilt-ridden and anxious after lying.  Since men aren&amp;#039;t hardwired to be as in touch with their feelings, the consequences don&amp;#039;t register as strongly in their brain. On the flip side, that also means men feel less betrayed when someone lies to them. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
