To protect some of their privacy, or to just cast themselves in a better light, it is common for men to lie on their first date.
Very rarely do men speak honestly on their first date because they are out there to impress the woman.
They can lie about all sorts of things but there are 5 biggest lies which are common and it is up to you when it comes to forgiving them for the same.
Here is a list of those 6 lies that men tell on their first date.
1. Job
Most men lie about their occupation to their first date. This can be because they may have a regular 9-5 job which may sound boring to women. Women also tend to judge men immediately based on their jobs. Hence, to make a good first impression, men resort to lying about their presumably boring jobs and instead choose something interesting.
2. His money situation
Let’s be real: historically, men have been judged by their earnings and ability to hunt or provide. He may make himself sound more comfortable or even brag about purchases or vacations to make himself look like a big shot in order to impress you.
Don’t be surprised if you eventually find out he doesn’t have a huge salary or that he’s in debt.
3. Their past relationship
Men will never tell you about their number of past relationships. So, forget about asking them. Most of them will only respond to an automated “A few”. How much exactly is “A few”, you will never know. It is simply because they do not want to put a potential interest off. A lot of women may get offended when a man says that he had dated almost everyone in his office or college. It just gives out a wrong image. It might also make him think that you are a wanderer or a commitment-phobic or something. He will definitely lie to you about this if he is really interested.
4. His last breakup
Perhaps he was a cheater or the one to blame in his last relationship. Or, maybe his last partner really broke his heart.
Unless he’s all about sharing everything, most likely, he’s going to make it sound better than it truly was, or at least on your first date he will.
5. The drinking problem
If he drinks everyday, you will not get to know unless you start spending that much time with them. Men know that no woman likes to be with someone who has substance abuse issues. Men do have this tendency to downplay their number of drinks on the first date.
6. Their interests and hobbies
First dates are all about making the right impression and men will do anything to do that. They may lie about what sports they like, which places they would love to visit or if they are into adventure sports or not. They will suit their interests and hobbies just to match with yours if he really likes you, just so that you can think of him as compatible.
