"   Here&amp;#039;s the situation: Your friend tries on a dress that doesn&amp;#039;t look so hot on her...and then asks what you think. Do you tell her the truth, or lie to be nice?  We&amp;#039;ve learned that honesty is probably the best policy, but a new study from Science Museum of Central London found that 75 percent of us would totally lie to spare another person&amp;#039;s feelings.  Whoa. That&amp;#039;s a bigger percentage than we expected. Even scarier? It turns out that guys lie a whole lot more than women do\u2014an average of three lies a day, or 1,092 a year. Women, on the other hand, lie an average of two times a day about specific situations, like why they avoided a phone call (totally guilty of this!).  But, back to the guys. Researchers compiled the top fibs men tell: 1. I had no signal. 2. It wasn&amp;#039;t that expensive. 3. I&amp;#039;m on my way. 4. I didn&amp;#039;t have that much to drink. 5. Nothing&amp;#039;s wrong, I&amp;#039;m fine. Uh, we&amp;#039;ve heard these more than once. Guess we&amp;#039;ll just have to call our guys on their B.S. the next time we hear one of these lines. Tell us: Is it okay to lie to make another person feel better? Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
