Question

 1.  Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.

Dr. Robert G. Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women. “Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,” he says. “Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.   2.    .”

Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.

Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently. “  3.  . They plan better,” Callender notes. “They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.” Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation.  4.  .

Dr. Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.

“  5.   .Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything saids needs to be true.” he says.

A. Be truthful at any cost.
