Author (Female) Says Women Are Better Liars Than Men



 

by KYW's Lynne Adkins

Anything he can do, she can do better. At least that's the conclusion of a new book about lying.

The book, Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets, the Truth About Why Women Lie, concludes that women are much better at telling fibs than men, and are more clever about the tales they tell.

Do these Philadelphians agree?

(Man:)  "It's a possiblity, yes."
 
(Man:)  "Probably, yeah. 

(Woman:)  "I do think that's true."

(Woman:)  "Absolutely, because we do it a lot!"

(Woman:)  "Because we're not as dumb as they are."

Nate Gordon, director of a polygraph training school in Philadelphia says it's just human nature to stretch the truth:

"Men and women lie about things that they've done wrong, that they're not willing to admit and pay consequences on."

So what do we lie about? Just about everything: money, love, and of course our ages.
