Study Says 96% Of Women Lie
THIS should be fun :D

<snip>

WRIGGLING out of an embarrassing situation comes naturally to the vast majority of British women, according to a new poll.

They lie.

In all, 96 percent of women resort to little white lies such as the top fib, "of course you don't look fat," followed by "these shoes were only 10 (pounds, $25.55)" and "the bus/train was late."

In the list of falsehoods published in the women's magazine That's Life, "I've got a headache" ranked fourth, then came "I've only had one drink," "that dress looks good on you" and "the cheque's in the post."

Fibs about age, sex and love rounded out the top ten, with "you look ten years younger," "you're wonderful in bed," and at the end "I love you."

1. No
That just means that 4% lie about lying. 100% of both sexes lie.

Apparently my entire romantic life has been a MURDEROUS LIE

I guess it's time to make a pilgrimage to the Himalayas and live on frozen corpses :scared:

edit: also I will never take my mother at her word ever again

8. If the study was conducted by women, how will we know it's true?
Ok, I admit to fibbing now and then, but show me a man who hasn't done the same!
