i m not agree that man lie and cheat always their are many men who r vey honest and true in their realtionship some exception is always there bt u can not say that all men are same, its is possible with women too, i think when some one cheating or concealing something may be there is some reason behind it so if u believe ur beloved then ask him directly dont hesitate. or wait for some time may be he himself tell u everything at right time.so never distrust everyman there is lot of good people in this world

I too hate lies and believe people deserve more respect than to be lied too. Cause if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't appreciate it. Try not to over react though it could scare him away. Men lie cause they are too afraid of telling the truth cause they will look bad. It is good that you let him know that it affects you though. Cause in a relationship honesty is the best policy

Because some guys are complete assholes. And they think they are  better. So if they cheat just hit them hard or were it will really hurt, if you catch my meaning. \n\nThinks for answering my questions sarah

Hmmm.  When will guys learn that relationships are built on honesty.  Lying about being gay to go shopping with you?  That's a first for me to hear.  However, he admitted the lie after you had already found out.  Then he admitted to it.  Being honest because you got busted is not sincerity.  Going shopping to watch a girl you like try on underwear!?  Try for someone better.  Someone who can honest from the get-go.

Personally I think the main reason guys cheat is that they are looking for something they are not getting at the present.  It may not always be about sex but perhaps more along a more robust converstation or possibly just the personality altogether.  Many will not break up with the current gf until they have secured the next relationship.

Most likely not.  Men who cheat tend to keep on cheating.  The real question is did he confess it or did you find out?  If he confessed he's at least show he regrets it, and is trying to be more honest.  If you found out he'll just be more careful in the future.

There is no one answer as to why men are unfaithful.  Some men cheat when things start getting too serious in a relationship.  Some men cheat because they are just true dogs and think they can get away with it.  Some men cheat because their woman lets them get away with it.  Some men allow themselved to get caught up in emotions with another woman and things go too far.  But please know, that not all men cheat.  There are some good ones out there, sometimes it's just hard to find them.

Men generally lie to protect their ego, and just to show that they are never wrong. but then the question is quiet general, so really can't say that its only men that lie, girls also lie to protect their pride and to avoid any embarracing 'in your face' situations

no i dont think so,cuz if i know or find out he cheats on me that means i cant give him what he need..so aint no need for me 2 b with him anymore..he wanna cheat on me he should make sure im not gonna find out,but men always get busted somehow..and as a female u know when he cheats,u can feel it.

It is always better to tell the truth.  Lying in any situation is unsound, and usually betrays a lack of courage - the courage to say "I don't want to answer that", or "Well, yes, you are a bit fat, but I love you anyway and if you want to change it why don't we work on it together?" or something like that.  Lying, ultimately, can only ever hurt you, and the person or people you lie to.

Nah, it sounds like he isn't being honest with you, and that is a major component in a distance relationship.  If he's lying to you now then it will only get worse as time goes by and he gets away with more.  Also, once a cheater always a cheater.  It sounds like you need to find someone a bit closer.

You don't. Everyone lies. Some peolpe lie to protect the ones they love others lie to protect hemselves. And then there are the ones who lie for no reason at all. These are the worst type of liars. Unneccesary lyin gis uncalled for and you should talk to him about this. Honestly though I don't think it is something that will change so you should look fo ra more honest relationship.

I think that guys feel that they have to lie because they dont feel to comfortable about themselves and they want to impress the girl. It's like if their with their friends and they want to make a cool impression without changing the guy stereotype which is to a bunch of women that all men are dogs which is'nt true. Yes some guys are ass holes but I mean a woman can be a bitch. It's like the stereotype for women that their all manipulative which is also not true. Their not all after your money. Hell cant a woman just like you. But.. back to the origional thing why guys lie; guys seem to lie more and more to impress they dont want to let the girl down and sure lying isnt the best way to make a good impression and I'm not even going to try and back that up but hey were not all perfect. If you feel like the guys lying to you confront him, I know it's not always the easy thing to do but you want someone nice and it's not "nice" to lie so their you have it. If he admits to lying the best thing to do is give a second chance. If he does it again you have every right to kick his but right out that door just tell him "Watch your step on the way out of my life." and leave him.

To make such a generalization is brash, at best. Men lie as much on the internet as they do "in real life." Most men and women lie at one point in a given relationship to try and hide problems or make themselves more attractive to their partners. This of course can be problematic, but don't be afraid to love again. While most men and women do lie, most of the lies told are for the benefit of the other partner. If you find that your partner is lying only to benefit themselves, then you should quickly bring them up on it, or release them.

Sorry but all men are stupid and rather than tell the truth they just lie until they get caught in that stupid lie they told.  And since you may be young they get dumber the older they get.

Has your man always been up front and honest with you?  What reason would he have for lying to you and keeping you hanging on?  How often do you talk?  My cousin is going through a similar problem (though not married) and I asked her what she would do to move on if he was lying - though with this particular guy it would be a shock.  She replied that she would go out with her friends and socializing soooooo. . . going out with friends and meeting new people is not cheating.  If you meet some other guy you like more in the process then it was meant to be.  \nIf this girl knew about you why would SHE still be with him?  Sounds like she may be trying to start problems so she can have a shot.  Then again, why is he friendly with this "crazy liar"?  You should know his nature well enough to answer these questions yourself, but I understand it never hurts to get a second opinion.  \nBest of luck with everything.

most men do seem to prefer sex to love, and dont hesitate to cheat (in my experience).  there are some good guys out there, who want to love, but they are VERY hard to find.
