Considering we've already figured out the lies that women tell, I've decided that it's time for a rebuttal. After all, we aren't saints by any means ‑- we certainly tend to twist the truth in order to protect our women, make them happy and place our own hides in a better light.
Sometimes, one might say, lying is necessary, but other times, we might be better off just admitting the truth. You can try to justify your lies by convincing yourself that you're simply optimizing your truth management skills, but at the end of the day, you know deep down inside that you've been keeping the truth neatly tucked away. Here are 10 of the many lies men opt to tell.

10. No, you don't look fat
The following situation is familiar to most guys in relationships: You and your girlfriend are preparing for a night out and, as you wait for her to finish up, she comes out of the bedroom and asks, "Do I look fat in this?" The best answer I have come up with is "No, of course you don't look fat," followed by "You're beautiful" or other flattering comments. Other than ignoring your girlfriend's question, this is the only way to come out of the situation unscathed; your other answers will be twisted into something you didn't mean and door slamming will likely ensue. The bottom line is, she feels chunky and your mission is to put her fears to rest.
