Today, tweets are flying on trending topic #LiesMenTellWomen and can I just say, OUCH! They don’t make men sound very kind or very original. There were a lot of repeats, so I tried to sum up the lies I saw most often. Not all guys are liars, but the ones that are apparently use these lines:
For when they don’t want to come home (As the song almost says, boys just wanna have fun):
Don’t worry, nothing to see here:
#LiesMenTellWomen I'll Be Home In A Bit, Lol xD

(Ahh yes. She’s a psycho, you’re a psycho. We know how that defense goes.)

#LiesMenTellWomen: Of course I wanna see pictures of your cat!

To be fair, men aren’t great at multitasking:
#LiesMenTellWomen “no, really…I AM listening. I heard everything you said.” *tears eyes away from T.V. and repeats your last three words*

Has a man ever told you any of these lies? What lies do you think men tell? Have you ever been told a truly outrageous lie?
