If you think your woman would never fib, guess again. From
little white lies to real whoppers, most women hide the truth at
some point. Their motivation ranges from wanting to protect your
feelings to pulling the wool over your eyes. Here are 10 lies to
watch out for:
10. I wouldn't change a thing about you
Do you really believe she wouldn't prefer ripped abs and bulging
biceps to your hairy beer belly? Do you think that she actually
enjoys listening to you snore like a grizzly bear? Reality check:
Even if you're still in the honeymoon phase she'll soon come to her
senses and realize there are many things about you she'd like to
change. So if she hasn't figured out your faults yet, then enjoy
her approval while it lasts.
9. I love hanging out with your friends
No matter how great your friends are, your girlfriend doesn't want
them around all the time. Even though she might have told you this
little white lie when you first started dating, don't expect it to
last. After a couple of hours of being surrounded by your loud,
beer-guzzling, chip-munching buddies, she'll throw in the towel.
Try to keep visits from your friends to a minimum and she might
just keep pretending she loves them.
8. I don't mind picking up after you
Here's another lie your girlfriend might tell at the beginning of
your relationship. She'll say she really doesn't mind picking up
the dirty dishes and she loves doing your laundry. I hate to break
it to you, but this isn't going to last. Soon enough, she'll be
telling you to wash your smelly gym socks yourself.
7. I love your family
It's possible your girlfriend may find your family totally
loveable. However, if she despises them, she will probably spare
your feelings and keep her distaste to herself. Observe her
reaction the next time your parents invite the two of you over for
dinner. If she throws on a fake smile and mutters "Great" under her
breath, then she definitely isn't crazy about them. If she really
hates them, then this could kill your relationship. Avoid a major
blowup by limiting family visits to birthdays and holidays.
6. I love sports
Ah, another first date classic. She may tell you that she loves
watching basketball, but unless you're lucky enough to have found
one of the rare true female sports fans, she'll soon complain every
time you sit down to watch a game. Sorry guys, but your dreams of
curling up with a six-pack and a hot woman in front of the tube are
probably pure fantasy.
5. I won't get mad if you think I look fat
Unless you've been living under a rock for the better part of your
adult life, you've probably figured out that this is a trap. No
matter what you say, she will get mad. If you try to tell her that
she looks great, she'll accuse you of lying to make her feel better
about her rhinoceros butt. On the other hand, if you tell her that
she has in fact put on a couple of pounds, you're likely to set off
World War III in your living room. Basically, the only way to deal
with this situation (short of faking a heart attack) is to brace
yourself and wait until the monsoon passes.
4. You're right
Do your arguments with your girlfriend usually end up with her
admitting that you're right and that you know better than her? And
you actually believe her? Even if she realizes she's wrong, chances
are slim to none that she'll actually admit it. The fact is that
many women will tell you that you're right to shut you up, but what
they're really thinking is: "He'll find out soon enough that I'm
right." Then they'll proceed to find some devious way to prove
their point to you. Keep this metaphor from My Big Fat Greek
Wedding in mind: The man is the head but the woman is the neck, and
she can turn the head any way she wants. Basically, the guy thinks
that he knows what's going on and that he's in control, but he
doesn't realize that his woman is the one who actually has the real
control, albeit in a much more subtle way.
3. It doesn't bother me when you check out other
women
Although she may say this at first to seem cool and open-minded,
chances are that it secretly drives her nuts when you eyeball the
hot redhead at the grocery store. It's quite simple: She wants to
feel like you only have eyes for her even though she may not look
like Pamela Anderson's long-lost twin. Therefore, even if she tells
you that it doesn't bother her, you're better off not letting your
eyes wander too often if you don't want it to blow up in your face
when you least expect it. And if you're honest with yourself,
you'll admit that you wouldn't be too thrilled either if your
girlfriend started checking out every hot guy that crossed her
path.
2. I don't care how much money you have
Although it isn't true that all women care about is the size of a
man's bank account, most women want a guy who is financially stable
and independent. No, they don't all want a sugar daddy; they just
want to know that their man is capable of taking care of a
potential future family. Of course, your girlfriend probably won't
tell you this so as not to scare you off with discussions about
family and the future.
1. Don't worry honey, it happens to everyone
Most men will have temporary erectile difficulties at some point in
their lives and most women are aware of this fact. However, that
doesn't mean that it doesn't bother your girlfriend when you're
getting hot and heavy and suddenly there's nothing happening down
there. This lie is only one of the dozens of sex-related lies that
women tell to spare their partner's feelings, including the
classics "size doesn't matter" and "you're the best I've ever had."
Fortunately, these fibs aren't really harmful. After all, even if
you aren't the best she's ever had, she chose to be with you over
any other guy, no matter how good (or bad) the sex is.
