Both men and women lie, whether its a little white lie or a big lie. IT doesnt matter, no it is not gender based however in my experience , men seem to lie more. although to play devils advocate its not like we as woman dont make it easy for them to lie with leading questions they fear will get them in the “dog house” for example…Honey, do you like my hair today, my makeup..etc? Do you think i look fat in these jeans?
