It's official: Men lie more
than women


      A new study has confirmed what many ladies already knew: Men tell more lies than women. According to the study, on an average, a man will tell three lies a day, racking up 1,092 whoppers in a year. However, an average woman will come out with 728, fibbing just twice a day, reports the Daily Express. The study, which was commissioned by researchers at the Science Museum in London, found that 82% of females questioned said telling a lie ate away at their conscience but only 70% of men confessed to suffering pangs of guilt. The top 10 lies men tell their partners include "I'm stuck in traffic", "Sorry, i missed your call", "You've lost weight" and "It's just what I've always wanted".
